As soon as Scarlett emerged from the hall, she saw Raymond on the sofa. Instead of his usual suits, he wore a thin black sweater and a pair of trousers of the scolor as the sweater.

Raising her eyebrows, Scarlett went to the bar counter and poured herself a glass of water.

Seeing Scarlett cin, Raymond stood up and walked up to her. Without turning around, Scarlett felt Raymond coming towards herself.

Raymond approached her within two seconds.

Scarlett took a sip from her glass and looked at Raymond.

Raymond had not seen Scarlett for nearly half a month and had heard that she was away on business i n Bellbane City, where she had been for nearly ten days.

Scarlett wore a maple-colored sweater and a long white dress with her hair dangling over her shoulders, giving her a gentle appearance.

For a moment, Raymond wanted to take her in his arms, but he forbore from doing so.

He said, "Julie has apologized." "Okay, | got it." Scarlett gave Raymond a faint smile, and there was a hint of indifference in that smile. Then she asked icily, "Anything else, Mr. Shaw?" "My legs ache a bit." Raymond blurted out, not knowing why he had suddenly said it.

Scarlett looked at him and asked, "Do you need an ambulance?" There was no trace of concern for Raymond in her words.

Because her attitude was as icy as it was when they first divorced, Raymond felt as if his heart was being slashed with a dagger.

His heart ached even more than his legs.

There was only him and Scarlett in the big living room. For quite a while, neither of them spoke. And the silence started to embarrass Scarlett.

She then put the glass down and planned to leave.

She didn't want to be alone with Raymond.

"Scarlett! You were right the other day. I'm not good enough for you. | always ignored you and didn't consider your feeling in the past. Now, I'm in love with you, and | want to get back together. But I'm still thinking about my feelings instead of yours. I'm sorry, Scarlett. Really." 1 Raymond said he was sorry many times, but Scarlett never took it seriously.

Yet at that moment, somehow, she felt he meant it.

"Don't say that, Mr. Shaw. You're great. What | mean b y that...er...it's just that we're not right for each other.

Okay, letput it to you this way. What you feel for m e right now is not love. You just can't accept the fact that | can live better without you. If | hadn't lived as well since | left you, maybe you wouldn't fall in love with me." After pausing a little, she added, "You'll find love. You'll find a woman you really like, not for other feelings." "All right, I admit it. | can't accept that you can live so well without me." Seeing that Scarlett was about to leave, Raymond didn't grab her wrist like last tbut reached out to stop her.

Scarlett stopped and looked up at him, waiting for him to go on.

"But what does it matter? The one fact doesn't prevent the other.” Raymond paused a second and then added, "I do love you, Scarlett. You can live very well without me, but | can't live without you. Give a chance..." Scarlett sneered and asked, "Then can you figure out why you want to get back with me? For love or something else?" After that, she pushed his hand away and walked on.

"Scarlett, it's the first tI've ever loved someone. There are many things | don't understand. | can only learn little by little. But you can't feel that | don't know whether I love you or not just because | don't understand." Scarlett paused a little and gave him a brittle laugh," You know, it's also my first time." And she thought, "It's the first for both of us. Why should | concede?" Scarlett went downstairs. Hardly had she reached the second floor when she saw Alexander and Stephen.

Seeing Scarlet cdown, Alexander looked upstairs subconsciously and asked, "Why are you leaving so soon, Scarlett? We are going to play bridge and need a fourth player. Will you join us?" Scarlett wore a half-smile and squinted at him, "Don't you really know Raymond is upstairs, Mr. Smith?" Alexander smiled and said less confidently, "Really? Is Ray here, too? Haha, | thought he wasn't here today. His legs haven't recovered yet. How did he get here?" Scarlett didn't want to look at Alexander act, so she said bluntly, "I've to go. | have an errand to run." At that time, Stephen suddenly said, "It's tto share the cake." Hearing that, Scarlett glanced at Stephen and Alexander, "You need one more person, right?"
