He looked at her and his thin lips hooked slightly. " The truth." "Oh, then I'm sorry." Scarlett grunted. "I told Alexis that you left something at my place and cover to get it." "If I had been there to get something, would | have been disheveled?" Hearing his words, Scarlett was stunned, remembering that he took off his tie and loosened his collar at that time. She suddenly felt that Raymond was crafty.
She put down the glass with a laugh. "I said | got annoyed and beat you up." Raymond naturally didn't believe it, but he remembered what Scarlett said and knew he had no right to decide how Scarlett explained it to Alexis.
No matter what Scarlett said to her friend, Scarlett and he could only claim that they were ordinary friends.
Raymond suddenly felt a bit depressed, so he changed the subject. "What do you want to eat?" Scarlett took the menu. "Lethave a look." She looked down and leafed through the menu.

She forced him to marry her. To Raymond, she was like a kidnapper. Naturally, he didn't want to be with her.
There was nothing wrong with his choice.
He allowed others to bully her because she always kept silent, tolerated them, and retreated endlessly.
This tshe wanted an equal relationship.
Raymond chose a good restaurant. It was not remote and busy, but they didn't run into acquaintances, and the dishes were delicious.

The couple mentioned that they were going to a movie after dinner. Raymond heard it and glanced at Scarlett.
"Want to watch a movie?" Scarlett looked up at him. "Yes." There was a nice movie lately. She had wanted to ask Alexis to watch it with her.
"Which movie do you want to watch?" Scarlett handed her phone to him without ceremony." This one." It was a suspense movie.
"I'll buy the tickets." "Okay." Raymond bought tickets for the movie that would begin at 8 p.m. They settled the bill and went to the cinema.
There were many people on the streets on Friday. Scarlett looked down at her hand being held by Raymond and then looked up at him. "Aren't you busy?" He was so free that he even accompanied her to the cinema.
"No." Raymond looked down at her, lying calmly.
"Oh." The cinema was almost full. Raymond bought tickets late, so they sat in the last row.
After sitting down, Raymond leaned over and whispered in her ear. "Giveyour hand." "What?" Scarlett was confused.
