In fact, even if Hilla didn't report on the arrival of Raymond, Scarlett knew that Raymond was at home.
When she drove into the garage just now, she saw that the lights on the second floor of the villa were on. If there had been a thief in the house, Hilla would have already called the police.
In addition to controlling most of the electrical appliances, Hilla was installed with a very powerful alarm system.

After walking up to the second floor, she saw Raymond sitting on the sofa.
He was reading something on the laptop intently.
When Scarlett glanced at him, her heart was beating fast.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Raymond looked up at her. Then he closed the laptop, got up and poured her a glass of water.
"Thank you." Scarlett took the glass that he handed over, and lowered her head to drink the water. "Are you free tonight?" "Yeah." Then Raymond sat beside her and asked," Are you going to the sea tomorrow?" Scarlett nodded, "My Grandpa has never gone to the sea to play." "Could I go with you?" Scarlett was stunned for a moment. "Aren't you afraid of my grandfather?" Raymond smiled. "No. Why should | be afraid of him?" Looking at him, she suddenly smiled. "OK." 'Humph. He says that he is not afraid of my grandpa. But why did he lose control of himself after coming back yesterday?’ But Scarlett did not say these words.
Noticing her thoughtful expression, he thought that she must guess what had happened yesterday. She was so smart that she must have known something.
Raymond couldn't help but confess. "I had dinner with your grandpa last night." "What did he say to you?" Scarlett stood up and poured him a glass of water. In fact, she knew what her grandfather had said, even if she didn't ask him.

Scarlett knew that her grandfather must have said other things that disappointed and discouraged Raymond greatly last night, so she did not continue to ask. "Do you still want to go to the sea with us tomorrow?" "Why not?" Glancing at her, he hugged her. "Maybe your grandpa will likeif | often stay with him." Scarlett was amused by Raymond's confidence. "Then, wish you good luck? ” "Are you sneering at me?" With a slight force, he pulled Scarlett into his arms. Then he lowered his head to gently press it against her forehead, and stared at her.
Scarlett flushed. She wanted to push him away gently with her hand, but failed. She pressed her lips and explained, "If you want to think this way, | don’t know what to do." She blinked playfully and innocently, as if she didn't do anything.
Scarlett had always behaved tenderly to please him while she was still his wife. But after the divorce, she was so cold towards him. Now after being with her again, Raymond found that Scarlett was also a little girl in front of him, as she was charming, cute, and mischievous.
He liked her behaving this way. Even when she sneered at him and then pretended to be innocent, he felt that she was so cute and wanted to kiss her.
And he indeed did so.
Looking at her beautiful face, Raymond moved his Adam's apple slightly and lowered his head to kiss her red lips.
