Scarlett seldom heard Raymond talk about these things. Now when Raymond mentioned them, she felt very curious. " Were you alone then?"
"Yes.”
Raymond responded and paused with her on the side of the road.
There were not many pedestrians here, only one or two occasionally. After they crossed the road, they didn't walk very far before reaching the street where there were numerous food stalls. Almost every stall was crowded with people.
Scarlett and Raymond chose the stall with the best online comments. They were very lucky, as when they arrived at the stall, some people finished eating and there was a vacant table.
Scarlett dressed very casually today, and she didn't put on makeup. But her face was so beautiful that as soon as she sat down, several male college students at the next table were attracted by her.
Noticing the college students, Raymond knitted his brows. Then he exchanged the seats with Scarlett, so Scarlett sat with her back to those college students.
Raising her eyebrows, Scarlett glanced at Raymond with a half smile.
Raymond took the menu and handed it to her. "What do you want to eat?"
Taking a look at it, Scarlett ordered wine and some grilled meats. She wasn't used to eating a midnight food. The reason why she came to eat tonight was that she felt hungry. Raymond added some dishes and gave the menu back to the waiter.
It was a bit cool at night in September, and the breeze was refreshing.
From here to one hundred meters further were all food stalls. And all the owners of the stalls put some tables outside, and the street was teeming with people. It was lively and noisy. Such hustle and bustle would never let one realize that it was almost near midnight.
When Scarlett noticed Raymond staring at her, she moved her eyebrows. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
He didn't tell the truth. Realizing this, Scarlett snorted lightly, but she didn't grill him.
Scarlett took a sip of wine. When she thought of what Alexis had said after she came out of the delivery room, Scarlett couldn’t help laughing.
"Why are you smiling so happily?"
Raymond felt a little confused. But when he saw Scarlett's sweet smile, his expression also softened.
