GoodReadAlia’s implication was that Alexander didn't have a pretty face.
Alexander retorted, "Although I’m not as handsas Leonardo, I'm not disgustingly ugly, am 1?" Alia didn’t answer him. She just looked at him in silence.
Alexander felt indignant. He turned to Scarlett and Raymond who were standing aside, "What do you guys think?" Raymond curled his lips with a meaningful smile in his eyes, and Scarlett smiled," While you're not ugly, you're not charming enough to attract a lady to talk to you." Was a pretty face a big deal? Yes, it was! When the four went to dinner, not long after they sat down at a booth, the restaurant manager cover and asked Scarlett and Raymond if they could take a promotional photoshoot for Couple’s Day for the restaurant. In return, the dinner would be free and the restaurant would give them scoupons.
Alexander, who was sitting next to them, impulsively grabbed Alias hand, "How about we take the photoshoot?" Alia tried to get away from Alexander's grip, but his grip was too tight for her to do so. She could only roll her eyes at him.

Alexander was speechless. He literally felt offended! Alia shook Alexander's hand off. "We are not a couple. We shouldn't lie to this gentleman to get a free meal." "I don’t lack the money. I'm just--" The words were on the tip of his tongue, but Alexander swallowed them back.
Shit! He felt it was humiliating.
The manager's inquiry was coldly rejected by Raymond, and he had to leave with regret.
Scarlett looked at Alexander, "Mr. Shaw, don't be upset. After all, you are a rich man.
Alexander thought Scarlett was trying to comfort him, but after hearing her whole sentence, he felt even more upset, "Scarlett, what do you mean?" Alia interjected, "Scarlett's right." Alexander felt he was asking to be humiliated himself today and he actually paid for it. How could he have been so stupid and asked Alia to cwith him? But all in all, he had a good day.
After dinner, Scarlett and Raymond left alone.
Scarlett inclined her head to look at Raymond and asked, "What do you think of Alia?" Raymond frowned slightly, "I have no idea." He didn't even remember what Alia looked like.
Scarlett lifted her hand to support her chin, "Do you think it's possible for Alexander to be with her?" She had spent half a day with Alia, and she thought Alia was a nice girl.
"You need to ask Alexander about it." But with the Smith family's circumstances, if Alexander really wanted to be with Alia, it was not going to be easy.
Scarlett thought about that, too. When she first married into the Shaw family, Jean alone had given her a lot of headaches. But Alexander had both his parents living together with him, and he had a sister.

Raymond responded with a shrug. The green light con and he restarted the car.
Back at the villa, it was still early, around nine o'clock. Scarlett was a little tired after a long day.
Scarlett changed to a nightgown. Then she went downstairs to get swater.
Raymond was answering his phone when Scarlett cdown. And she saw his brow was furrowed. She wondered what had happened. She poured a glass of water and walked up to him.
Hanging up the phone, Raymond saw Scarlett approaching. He stretched out his arm to hold her waist and took a sip of water.
"Is something wrong?" Although Raymond used to have a nonchalant look, he didn't often frown.
"Something's happened to Thomas. Don't worry about it." Raymond didn't want to interfere with Thomas's affair. Scarlett nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
