GoodReadAlexis could not wait any longer in the car. If Scarlett had not returned, Alexis would have gotten off.
Just as Scarlett got into the car, she saw Alexis closing the door. She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and ask Alexis, "What are you going to do?" Alexis smiled awkwardly and changed the subject. "Is it settled?" "yes." Scarlett responded and glanced at Alexis with a half-smile.
Alexis felt embarrassed and hurriedly said, "I am starving. Lettie, let us go have dinner!" Scarlett laughed. She looked away from Alexis and slowly started the car.
After dinner, Justin came over to pick up Alexis and take her home.
Alexis's car was left to Scarlett, so Scarlett drove it back to her villa.
It was late at night. Scarlett stood on the balcony and watched the starry sky for a while before she turned around and walked back to her bedroom.
She wanted to call Chris, but he was too busy.

Scarlett became free after handing off Tenton to Chris, so she could spend more time doing boxing in the boxing gym.
The boxing gym had taken in a lot of new students six months ago. A young man had a crush on Scarlett at first sight. He then went to the boxing gym every day to wait for her.
After Alexis knew that, she was very curious about that young man and wanted to see if he was handsome.
Scarlett rolled her eyes at Alexis. Alexis had to touch her belly and say, "Fine. Forget it." Scarlett grunted. "What do you want to eat?" Alexis handed her phone to Scarlett. Scarlett glanced at it. "Got it." She responded and slowly started the car.
The car drove up. Alexis asked with a lollipop in her mouth, "It is your birthday next week. Lettie, do you feel like a birthday party this year?" Scarlett could not help but tap her fingers on the steering wheel. She thought about it and lazily responded, "Not really." Chris was not around her, so she had no special desire for her birthday.
Alexis pursed her lips and looked at Scarlett. "Well, then let's have dinner together." Scarlett smiled. "Okay." She'd like to have dinner with Alexis and Justin on her birthday.
Scarlett had known them for so many years. The three of them had dinner together on her birthdays every year, which almost became a "tradition" for them.
The summer days went by very fast. Scarlett's birthday soon came.
But Scarlett had always kept a low profile on her birthdays. She did not really like the hustle and bustle of birthday parties, nor did she like coming under the spotlight. Therefore, she usually only had dinner with Alexis and Justin to celebrate her birthday in the past many years. But when she and Raymond divorced two years ago, Alexis wanted to cheer her up by holding a birthday party for her. Scarlett did not want Alexis to worry about her, so she allowed Alexis to do that. That year was an exception.
But this year was different. Alexis was pregnant, and Scarlett herself was in no mood to celebrate her birthday.
Alexis gave up the idea of holding Scarlett’s birthday party after asking Scarlett several times and getting the same answer.
It got dark late in July in Juanton City.
When Scarlett came out of Teuton, it was still light.
The traffic was already a bit congested before 6 pm.

On this year's birthday, they had a new place for dinner. It was not the club they used to go to but the apartment that Alexis had rented recently.
It was a coincidence that Raymond used to live in the same apartment building.
Scarlett got stuck in a traffic jam for a while. When she arrived, the sky was aglow with the setting sun.
After parking her car, she grabbed her bag and went into the apartment building.
The high-class apartment building was managed very strictly. But Scarlett came here once before, so the facial recognition system at the entrance directly allowed her to go through the gate this time. And the security guards did not stop her.
The elevator soon arrived on the thirteenth floor with a "ding" and then opened.
Scarlett walked out. There were two households on this floor. Scarlett cast a glance and immediately knew which one was Alexis and Justin's apartment.
Scarlett walked over and raised her hand to ring the doorbell. Soon, the door was opened by Alexis.
