After saying that, Raymond raised his hand and rubbed her head, then went upstairs to change his clothes.
Raymond had been living at Scarlett's place for a while, so Scarlett's wardrobe was gradually getting filled with Raymond's clothes again.
Raymond only brought one or two sets of clothes at first. When Raymond cback from his business trip, he just left all his business clothes at Scarlett’s place.

Scarlett grunted, took the phone aside, and went to sit on the sofa to wait for Raymond.
Alexis just sent Scarlett a message asking Scarlett how she wanted to spend her birthday this year.
Today was the second of July. There were two weeks left until July 16th.
Scarlett raised her eyebrows slightly. "A small birthday party would be fine." She didn't like to be high profile, but for a birthday, she still had to care about the feelings of her familiar friends.
"Gee, | thought you were going to spend it alone with Mr. Shaw!" Scarlett sensed Alexis was teasing her. " How do you know we won't celebrate it alone?" Alexis felt that Scarlett was displaying their affection. "Well, fine, | got it! Then I'll tell the others that it’s just like last year on your behalf." Scarlett smiled. "Hmm." As soon as she texted the message, Raymond cdownstairs and changed into his daily clothes.
Scarlett put her phone away. Then she picked up the backpack she had packed aside. As soon as she walked over, Raymond reached out and picked up her backpack. "Give it to me." "Okay." Since he was helping with the bag, she was glad to see that.
Jean didn't think Raymond was really that cold-hearted. No matter how much she begged Raymond, Raymond didn't care if Thomas was dead or alive.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJean left Scarlett's villa and went to the detention center to visit Thomas again.
It had been eight days since the accident. And Thomas had been in police custody for eight days. The victim lying in the hospital couldn't wake up. Thomas not only drank under the influence of alcohol but also fled the scene, which caused the victim to miss the best tfor surgery.
This was no longer a simple traffic accident. Instead, Thomas had committed a criminal offense. And the victim's family had filed charges. No matter how much money Jean offered the victim's family, they were unwilling to accept it.
Seeing Jean, he felt as if he saw a lifesaver. "Mom! What did he say?" Joan's face suddenly changed at Thomas's words. "He's not your brother! You don't have a brother! Thomas, you don't have a brother!" Jean suddenly burst into tears as she spoke.
Thomas' face turned white. "Mom! What are you talking about? How c| don't have a brother? If my brother won't save me, then who else can?" That was right. Who else could save Thomas? Who else could save Thomas but Raymond? "Mom, go beg my brother! | don't want to stay here for so many years. | was wrong. | really know what I did was wrong!” Thomas would have to serve at least three years in prison. However, he couldn't even stand being here for three days, let alone three years! The victims' families were unwilling to forgive Thomas. One victim died instantly, while the other was now brain dead.
Therefore, neither of their families was willing to forgive Thomas.
Although Jean had done many irresponsible things in her life, she really cared about his son. How else would she have pampered Thomas to this extent? Jean didn't want Thomas to spend years in prison. Then, she dried her tears and made up her mind. "Thomas, don't worry. | will save you for sure! You have to protect yourself there. Wait for me. You must protect yourself!" After saying that, Jean ruthlessly turned around and left.
Since Raymond would not save her son, Jean would force him to do so!
