Alexander 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 I know!"
Instead of wasting time on Alexander, Raymond said,' Make a list for me before 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.
Scarlett 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."
