Ten minutes later, Raymond drove his car into the villa.
It was already 11:55 p.m. Scarlett yawned again before getting off the car. She looked at the two big bags of birthday presents in front of her, but at this moment, she was too exhausted to guess what those presents were.
As soon as she turned her head, Scarlett saw Raymond handing over a gift box." Happy birthday, honey." "What is this?" Scarlett raised her eyebrows and reached for the gift. Then she stepped aside and slowly opened it.
Scarlett had thought it was precious jewelry, but after opening it, she found it was a picture album. The cover was a picture of her waiting for Raymond at the gate of the City Hall on the day of their divorce, and she wore a red dress.
Scarlett was stunned for a moment, and she found the album was full of her pictures after leafing through it.
"I haven't painted for a long time." While Scarlett was wondering whether Raymond had drawn all these pictures, he made an explanation himself.

She slowly went over the whole album, and finally, she couldn't help laughing. "Mr.
Shaw, | didn't know you had such skills," she said teasingly.
In that case, even if Raymond was driven out of Tenton, he could still earn a living. There were twenty-seven pictures in the album, symbolizing that she was twenty seven years old.
"This one...Were you also there that night?” Scarlett put her hand on the third picture, which recorded the scene of her singing on stage. This happened last year, and at that time, she was encouraged by Alexis and others to come onto the stage. The picture was drawn from the left side of the stage, but she didn't remember Raymond was there that night.
Knowing that she was confused, Raymond explained, "I was at the door." "Oh..." It turned out that he was spying on her.
"You sang beautifully.” Scarlett smiled and turned to the next page. This picture recorded her standing by the side of the road to take a taxi after walking out of Alexis’ neighborhood alone on Hometown Day.
Scarlett knew Raymond had followed her during that time.
Every picture painted by Raymond told a story about Scarlett, showing his new understanding of her after their divorce.
This present indeed surprised her. "When did you start drawing this?" They had been together this whole month, and she didn't expect him to have extra time to prepare for this gift.
Raymond held her from behind. "Three months ago." At first, he just wanted to record every aspect of Scarlett. Later, when they got back together, he suddenly felt this could be a very special gift.
He didn't know anything about her when they started their marriage five years ago, but now that they were together again, he knew every side of her, understood her preferences and temper, and had witnessed her happiness and sorrow.
Therefore, he was sure to be with her now, and he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.

Scarlett closed the picture album and asked, "Are you so sure that we will be together again?" Three months ago, they hadn't got back together.
Raymond looked down at her. "I had wanted to make this album and give it to you as a present at your wedding with Larry." He wanted her to know that he didn't fall in love with her out of jealousy. Instead, he was just deeply attracted by her.
Scarlett couldn't help laughing. "You are really scheming, Raymond." If she were not Larry's sister and they really got married, she would be filled with grudges after receiving such a gift from Raymond.
It was hard for people to get unattainable things out of their minds, and they couldn't help having an inexplicable paranoia towards someone they had a single-minded obsession with.
If when you eventually decided to give up loving someone, that person came to tell you that you could get his love if you wanted, what would you do? Raymond looked down at her almond shaped eyes and saw a smile spreading wide over her pretty face. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he said, "Yes, | admit it." While saying this, he bowed his head and kissed her on the lips. "Scarlett, | really want to be with you by any kind of means." Then he held her in his arms and kissed her again.
However, his kiss was much more passionate this time.
