Raymond was so talkative.
Yet he was soon called away by Frank.
Scarlett was left alone in the villa. She sat on the bed. For the first time, she felt that the bed was a little big and empty.
They had sex until late last night. They fell asleep at nearly midnight. Although she got up late, she still felt tired.
Scarlett napped for a long tthis afternoon until her phone rang. She reached for it in a daze. The moment she saw the caller ID, Scarlett's mind instantly cleared.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe call was from the Tank family, most likely from Rowan.
"Grandpa?" "Scarlett, are you busy? Did | bother you?" "No. I'm not busy today." Scarlett was thirsty. She went downstairs, poured a glass of water, and sat on the sofa chatting with Rowan.
"Have you been busy lately?" "No. How are you, Grandpa?" Scarlett knew that if there was nothing special, Rowan wouldn't call her.
Scarlett guessed why he called her, but just half-correctly.
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me." Rowan continued after a pause, "By the way, Scarlett, Juanton City is very beautiful, right? | haven't gone out for years. I'm getting older. If | don't go out now, maybe there will be no more chance in the future." Hearing this, Scarlett was taken aback. ” Grandpa, what are you talking about? Juanton City is indeed scenic. It is near the sea, and it's fun going out to the sea in summer. I... My friend has a yacht. If you want to cover for a trip, I'll pick you up in a few days." "Although I'm old, | can walk by myself. | don't need you to pickup! I'm just afraid to disturb you! Several days later, I'm going to a reunion with my comrades in Juanton City. I'll see you then." "Okay. When will you cover? I'll pick you up at the airport." "I'll tell you later. Well, go to work. | won't bother you anymore." After saying that, Rowan hung up the phone.
Scarlett lowered her head and took a sip of water with a wry smile.
She didn't expect that her grandpa would cover to meet Raymond.
She was astonished.
At six o'clock in the evening, Raymond cfrom his company to take her out for dinner.
When she got into the car, Scarlett gave Raymond a sympathetic look. "At four o'clock in the afternoon, my grandfather called me." "What's wrong?" "He's coming to Juanton City to seein a few days." Scarlett and Raymond were both very smart. The news about them caused a sensation on the Intea few days ago. Rowan planned to cto Juanton City, obviously not just because he wanted to see Scarlett.
"Tellwhen he comes. I'll accompany you to the airport." Scarlett smiled, feeling that he was pitiful." Okay." Raymond looked calm, but his heart trembled.
He had asked Frank to inquire about Rowan long ago. Raymond knew that Rowan was an aged man with strong principles.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Tank family knew what had happened between Scarlett and him during those years.
Rowan was going to Juanton City, presumably to question Raymond.
Raymond was not afraid of that. He was just worried that Rowan would not let him and Scarlett be together.
Scarlett’s parents died in an accident when she was 17 years old. She had been alone since then. Finally, she found her relatives. Raymond could see that she cared a lot about the Tank family.
Scarlett fastened her seat belt, looking at him. "Don’t you fear that my grandfather will make things difficult for you?” "I deserve it, don't I?" He was even more relaxed than anyone else. Scarlett remembered the past. She clucked. "Yes, you just deserve it, He didn’t cherish her before.
Raymond glanced at her without retorting.
He slowly started the car.
He was not afraid of being embarrassed. He was just worried that Scarlett would be caught in the middle.
