Raymond's grip slackened on Scarlett's hand, and he put his hand around her waist. Then the fruit bowl came between them, and Scarlett looked up at him, "What are you doing?"
"Let me have a taste of strawberries."
He said in earnest but then bowed his hand and kissed her on her lips.
Scarlett smelled something familiar and reassuring, which made her feel sweet and happy.
Unconsciously she closed her eyes and clutched at his clothes.
Moon was so bright, and night was so fine.
They kissed for nearly two minutes, and Scarlett's breath became uneven as Raymond let go of her.
She pressed her lips and looked up at him," Is it sweet?"
"Of course.”
Staring at her, Raymond touched her eyebrows and eyes tenderly.
Their breath was so intertwined that it was hard to tell.
However, they were intimate, so there was no need to tell at all.
Scarlett took a strawberry and stuffed it into his mouth when he didn't notice." Ryker and Madam Shaw are strange recently. I can't believe they're not doing anything. Are they up to something big?"
Scarlett asked.
Raymond just replied, "I suppose so."
They did have something up their sleeve. Previously, they said Raymond was not Zacharie's son. It was just a rumor. They didn't show any hard evidence.
Jean had Raymond's paternity test results, but she never made them public.
It was not that Ryker wanted to let Raymond go but that Ryker planned to use it in the nick of time.
Ryker had a hard time lately. Not to mention that he couldn't buy much of Teuton's stock at a low price even the Tenton shareholders weren't willing to give him their shares.
In addition, Ryker even heard that Mornet Corporation's Suny had recently approached Teuton's shareholders.
Ryker, of course, knew what the meeting was about, as they were all business old hands.
