NovelOnlineAlexander had known Raymond for many years and had never seen him so depressed. He sighed, "Take it easy! Did it ever occur to you that Clair wanted Scarlett to be his goddaughter because she didn't want to be his daughter-in-law? Scarlett must have refused Henry. It at least indicates that although she doesn't have you in her heart, there is no one else, right?" Alexander's words touched Raymond's nerve again. There was something in what Alexander said, and Raymond looked up at him, "Who had ever bullied Scarlett but me?" Raymond had apologized to Scarlett, but the others had not.
Alexander raised his eyebrows, "Wow, that's the Raymond | know!" Instead of wasting ton Alexander, Raymond said," Make a list forbefore tomorrow morning, or I'll see you at the boxing gym the day after tomorrow." Alexander was speechless and had to give it to Raymond.
Clair cut the cake and gave the first piece to Scarlett, showing his sincere attitude and determination to recognize her as his goddaughter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtScarlett took it and thanked him with a smile.
Raymond had stared at her for quite a long time, and she felt his eyes.
They were seven or eight meters apart, and Raymond just looked at her intently.
Scarlett's smile faded, and she looked away. Henry next to her asked if she was tired and she could go upstairs to rest if needed.
Scarlett thought for a moment and replied, "Okay." She actually wasn't tired, but she didn't feel much like being there.
"I'll have a waiter show you the lounge." It was Clair's birthday party, and of course, Henry had his hands full. Therefore, even if he wanted to walk her to lounge himself, he didn't have time.
Scarlett shook her head, "Don't bother, Henry. I'll go myself. You can go about your business." Actually, she was both flattered and a little embarrassed by Clair's series of actions, so she wanted to be alone.
Henry obeyed her. After all, he would have to see lots o f uncles off later! "Well, take care of yourself. Callif you need anything, okay?" Scarlett chuckled, "Con, I'm not a baby!" Henry snorted, "Ha! Don't you know how many people are gunning for you today? Anyway, if you run into any idiot, don't hesitate to inform me.” Henry was really busy. He left to entertain other guests after exhorting her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmScarlett nodded and was about to go to the lounge when she suddenly noticed someone staring at her not far away.
She turned and saw that the man staring at her was the one talking to Clair.
Knowing his behavior was offensive to Scarlett, Clair did not ask her to entertain guests with him.
The man Clair was talking to was Larry Tank.
The Tank family was also quite powerful. Larry's grandfather was a veteran, and Larry's grandmother was the founder of Oriental Technologies, which was later taken over by Larry's father, Ben Tank. Larry was a politician, elected to parliament at the age of only 35.
And Larry was here to congratulate Clair on his sixth birthday on behalf of the Tank family.
Meeting Scarlett's eyes, Larry nodded to her and smiled at Clair, "Mr. Anderson, | have to say you do have a great eye." The Anderson family and Tank family were on friendly terms. In addition, Ben was a college friend of Clair's, so Clair naturally needed to tell the Tank family that he wanted Scarlett to be his goddaughter, o r it would hurt their relationship.
As a typical son of the rich, Larry was outwardly gentle but at heart arrogant and apathetic. What he said to Clair was just polite formula. Clair didn't care whether Larry was sincere or not and changed the subject.
