"About what's going on between you and Raymond, I’m not against it, but I won't support it either, so you'll have to talk to grandpa yourselves."
Larry would not oppose them. It was the biggest compromise.
Raymond had put Scarlett through a lot of suffering. Larry even wanted to take
Scarlett back and never let Raymond see her.
Now that they got back together, Larry didn't want to upset Scarlett. But he knew how Scarlett suffered in Shaw's family, and so did his grandfather.
If Raymond really wanted to be with
Scarlett, he needed to show his sincerity, and that could be painstaking.
Of course, Larry would love to see that. Raymond should be punished for making Scarlett suffer in the past.
Scarlett knew that Larry was not mad. She was relieved, "Thank you, brother."
"Go to have lunch."
Scarlett was an adult. She didn't need him to give her any lecture, and Larry didn't want to say more about it.
Scarlett hung up the phone, and Raymond's call came in.
Scarlett grabbed her handbag and walked out the door while answering the phone," Hello, honey."
"I'm downstairs." "I'm in the elevator. See you in two minutes. Scarlett hung up the phone. Thinking about what Larry had just said, she smiled involuntarily.
'Raymond is in trouble.'
Just as Scarlett stepped out of the elevator, she saw Raymond's car. It was the first time the two had had lunch together since they had made their relationship public.
Raymond had booked the restaurant. The booth was by the window. The view outside was extraordinary.
Scarlett watched Raymond sitting across the table pouring a cup of tea, and her eyes flickered, "Larry just called me."
Raymond put a cup of coffee in front of her, "Was Larry angry? "
Scarlett grunted at his question, "Why was
he angry? "
