GoodReadAlexis was almost seven months pregnant, so her belly was very obvious now.
"Lettie, happy birthday!" Scarlett didn't dodge Alexis's embrace but stood still with a smile, letting Alexis pounce on her.
But soon, Alexis was pulled away by Justin.
"What are you..." Before Alexis could finish speaking, she was taken aback by Justin's cold look. So, she could only take Scarlett's hand and walk inside, mumbling, "Petty man!" Scarlett snorted, "Today is my birthday. | don't want to see your public display of affection." Alexis glanced at Scarlett, raised her hand to pat her own mouth, and said, "I will try my best." Scarlett followed her to the dining table with a lot of dishes on it and knew they were not cooked by Alexis at a glance.

"Takeout?" She glanced at Justin who had walked up to Alexis, and he nodded, "Yeah." She had guessed it right.
Scarlett smiled and sat down. Watching Justin handing a napkin to Alexi, she suddenly missed Raymond more.
When Alexis said something, Scarlett woke up from her trance and put the napkin on her lap.
Alexis had always been the most active person among the three. Neither Scarlett nor Justin was talkative. When Alexis was twittering, there were no awkward silences, and the atmosphere was less boring.
When Alexis began talking about their youth, Scarlett raised her eyebrows and said, "You copied from me and Justin whenever you did your homework." Alexis, who had been bragging that the math teacher had praised her, said awkwardly, "...You are exaggerating! | didn't copy from you every time." Scarlett snorted lightly, "You're right. You had to make one or two mistakes to make the teachers believe that you did your homework by yourself." Alexis was speechless, thinking that Scarlett was a bit much.
When they talked about the past, even Justin, who was reticent, joined their conversation.
Scarlett was in a good mood today and took a sip of red wine.
Alexis couldn't drink alcohol now, so she felt envious. Looking at Scarlett, she suddenly asked, "Lettie, you haven't told us why you like Raymond." Alexis and Justin knew she had been in love with Raymond for a long time, but she had never told them why.
Scarlett hadn't expected Alexis to suddenly ask such a question, so she was a little stunned. After a while, she chuckled," Guess." Alexis was speechless.

How could she guess it right? Alexis became very gossipy and couldn't suppress her curiosity at all.
But no matter how she pestered Scarlett, the latter still asked her to guess.
After Scarlett routinely cut the cake, it was time for Alexis to rest, who was the key protection object now.
Scarlett picked up the gift and waved her hand to prevent them from going out to see her off.
But when she walked to the door, Alexis grabbed her hand and said, "No, you can't go. You must tell me why you fell in love with Raymond back then!" Scarlett looked at Alexis for a while and then looked down. When she raised her head, her pretty eyes were full of smiles.
Scarlett looked at Alexis and grinned, "I probably fell in love with him because of his pretty appearance." Looking at Scarlett's smile, Alexis paused for a while and said "Lettie, don’t smile at others easily. Otherwise, you might get in trouble." No one could resist such a smile! Alexis was a woman, but she could not resist it either! Scarlett gave her a sideways look and said, "I'm leaving. Good night." Because Justin was standing behind them, Alexis reluctantly watched Scarlett close the door before leaving.
