NovelEnglishRaymond just glanced at her without speaking.
As she thought of that incident, Scarlett's spirits plummeted.
She fell silent, sitting there looking at Raymond across the table.
Raymond was particularly picky about food. When Scarlett had just married him, Jean took a stack of papers and asked her to memorize them.
Those were all about Raymond's preferences. She was fond of him at that time. With her good memory, she bore all the information in mind after looking through the papers.
Scarlett felt that she shouldn't have done that.

While she was lost in thought, Raymond finished his dinner.
He looked at Scarlett, pursing his thin lips slightly." I'm done eating." Hearing this, she cout of her trance. She withdrew her gaze, got up with her phone, and went out.
Raymond unhurriedly followed her on his long legs.
Both of them were stunningly beautiful, even more attractive than the stars on the screen. When they cin, everyone was staring at them. Now they were leaving, and the crowd also looked up at them.
Outside the mall, the wind was strong.
Scarlett looked down at the phone. It was already eight o'clock in the evening.
It was silly to cout on such a cold day.
Scarlett had wanted to get rid of Raymond, but seeing that he was following closely behind her, she gave up this idea.
She just took a few steps out of the mall. The strong wind blew her back.
Today was Friday. People wouldn't work tomorrow, so the mall was crowded.
The two of them were pretty and elegant. Speople doubted if they were actors and chere for a show.
The curious eyes made Scarlett feel like a monkey in the zoo. She inclined her head to look at Raymond. " Aren't you busy?" He used to work overtevery day, but after the divorce, he was like a hobo. She always ran into him, although she didn't want to.
"No." Raymond answered. Seeing Scarlett's smile fade, he guessed that she didn't like to be watched.

Scarlett was about to speak when the phone in her hand rang.
It was from an unfamiliar number, but Scarlett knew who was calling.
She smiled at Raymond. "Excuse me, Mr. Shaw, I'll talk about business with someone." She picked up the phone, put the other hand into the pocket, and walked out while answering the phone.
The phone call was from Dwayne, who had arrived at the police station.
Scarlett went out of the mall and walked to a zebra crossing. "I'm at the nearby mall. Wait a moment. I'll b there in five minutes." "Okay, Ms. Reed." Hanging up the phone, Scarlett waited for the green light.
She looked back and didn't see Raymond. Finally, he stopped following her. Scarlett clucked, thinking that Raymond was sensible this time.
However, she was happy too early.
Raymond didn't intend to leave. He just went to buy something.
The light just changed to green. Scarlett was about to g 0 as Raymond ran back to her. "Dwayne called you?" Scarlett's eyebrows knitted slightly. "Can't you understand what | said, Raymond?" "Are you cold?"
