GoodReadThe door of the study was knocked on and pushed open. Viviana walked in with a smile. "You three are enjoying yourselves. Leaving me alone. Do you want me to eat lunch alone too?" Scarlett looked up at Viviana. "How can we let Aunt eat alone? Didn't Uncle come back for lunch today?" Scarlett raised her eyebrows as if teasing Viviana.
Viviana smiled, patting Scarlett’s head. " Your uncle and | are an old married couple. We don't need to stay alone with each other. Come down to eat if you've finished the game." Since Larry booked a table at a restaurant for dinner, they had a light lunch.
This was Scarlett's twenty-eighth birthday. After eleven years, she once again spent her birthday with her family.
They ate dinner outside. After dinner, Scarlett went back and received a bunch of gifts.
Scarlett returned to her room, somehow missing Raymond.

She took out her phone. Just as she wanted to call Raymond, she accidentally opened the message from Alexis.
Seeing the pictures, Scarlett was stunned." Where did you get them?" Alexis quickly replied, "Huh! As soon as it got dark today, all the screens in the squares around the center of Juanton City and even the screens on top of the cabs flashed with 'Happy Birthday, Scarlett’.
And now you've become a trending topic on Twitter! "Unfortunately, you're not in Juanton City. Raymond busied himself for nothing." Just after reading this message, Scarlett received a call from Raymond. She couldn't help raising her eyebrows and picking up the phone. "It’s me, Scarlett.” "Have you finished eating?" "Yeah." Scarlett answered, intending to ask him about the things in Juanton City, but Raymond suddenly said, "Do you miss me?" She subconsciously wanted to say no, but thinking of the pictures Alexis sent her, Scarlett paused for a moment.
"Guess." "| miss you, baby." As soon as Raymond said that, Scarlett saw a burst of fireworks in the distance outside the window.
The fireworks exploded loudly. Probably someone set them off in the villa area.
Scarlett tilted her head to watch them. At the same time, Raymond said, "Scarlett, can you go to the balcony?" Scarlett's heart lurched. "Are you outside the house?" "Yes.” Raymond's voice was low, and the fireworks were bursting.
Scarlett couldn't hear him. She ran to the balcony with her phone. Sure enough, a car parked outside the villa.
The headlights were on. Raymond was standing in front of his car. She recognized him at a glance! "Wait. I'll come down!" Scarlett ran out, holding her phone.
She had seldom been so impulsive in her adult life. When she ran down the stairs, she bumped into Larry.
Fortunately, Larry flung out an arm to stop her from falling.

"Where to?" "I'm going out, Larry. Raymond is outside!" When Scarlett said this, her eyes were bright, and her smile was dazzling. Even Larry was stunned. Before he knew it, Scarlett had run downstairs.
Larry frowned slightly. Viviana was curious as she saw Scarlett running out, but Scarlett disappeared in a hurry.
Viviana had to ask Larry, "Where is she going?" "She's just going outside." After saying that, Larry turned to go downstairs. He walked to the balcony and looked down, seeing Scarlett jump into Raymond's arms.
Raymond came.
Larry thought, 'Forget it. Now that he's so sincere, | won't disturb them today."
