Scarlett pursed her lips and said, "I came here to visit my grandpa."
"I see," Raymond said in an obviously much lower voice.
Hearing this, Scarlett raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Are you mad at me?"
"No. Can I meet you in Deeton City?"
It would take him less than half an hour from Fenton City to Deeton City by a highspeed train.
Scarlett thought of the words Rowan had said on the phone the day before yesterday, so she said, "You'd better not come.
Otherwise, you will be kicked out by my grandpa."
"When are you going back to Juanton City?"
"The day after tomorrow."
"Well, I'll go to pick you up then," Raymond said decisively.
Scarlett smiled, "Mr. Shaw, what if paparazzi take photos of us?"
Raymond lost his tongue for a moment and then said quietly, "If so, I will tell them the truth."
Raymond knew it was just his pipedream because Scarlett wouldn’t allow him to reveal their relationship now.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little uneasy, so he asked, "Scarlett, will you marry me?"
After all, he had destroyed her fantasy of love and marriage.
Scarlett pursed her lips and said, "Not now."
"Do you mean you will marry me in the future?"
Scarlett didn't answer the question. She felt that Raymond was much too loquacious today, so she asked, "Have you drank alcohol?"
"Just a little," Raymond replied, and he guessed why she had asked such a question, so he added, "I'm not drunk."
He was sober.
"Good! Go to bed early. Good night."
"Good night."
Finishing the call, she stared blankly at her phone for a while.
