Alexander looked at Chris, "How do you know you divorced Scarlett?"
"I remember that she and I went to the City Hall to get our divorce certificates.”
Alexander took a sip of the red wine, thinking that Raymond's question was really hard to answer.
"Well... At that time, you thought you didn't like Scarlett, and she asked for a divorce, so you agreed."
"If I didn’t like Scarlett, why did I marry her?"
Alexander thought it was a tough problem.
Alexander felt that Raymond had called him over tonight just to make him the bad guy. About this kind of old things, which were with so many things mixed in, he would feel sorry for Scarlett if he spelled them out.
After all, Scarlett didn’t tell Raymond about these things, so presumably, she didn't want to mention it again.
'Let bygones be bygones. Why do you even talk about them?'
Although Alexander was a little dull at times, it didn't mean he was stupid.
Seeing that Alexander didn't say anything, Chris asked him, "Is there a misunderstanding in it?"
"Not really."
Alexander looked at Chris with a complicated look, "Did you ever wonder if Scarlett would want you to know these
things?"
Chris raised his eyebrows slightly, "Before Scarlett left tonight, I asked her a question.”
"What did you ask?"
'Does the question you asked have anything to do with this?'
"I asked her if she would still be with me if
"You didn't get along well with Jean at that time, and she was always trying to get you to marry someone from a good family, so you married Scarlett.”
After a pause, Alexander said, "Well, I forgot to tell you that Scarlett was incredibly low-key back then. I mean, she had a lot of money, but no one knew about it. So when she married you back then, everyone in Juanton, including you and me, thought it was Scarlett who didn’t match you and wanted to marry into the Shaw family for a life of wealth and prosperity."
"You told me that Scarlett was so scheming to set such a trap for you. So after you and she had got married, you let her live in the Shaw family's old villa and you lived in your apartment. Jean and your so-called sister were both troublemakers, and during those three years, they gave her a lot of trouble."
"Then maybe Scarlett was disappointed with you and your family, so she asked for a divorce with you."
Chris looked at his wine glass in his hand and mused, "had I been nice to Scarlett during those three years?”
Alexander gave him a look, "Do you think Scarlett would divorce you if you had been nice to her?"
Chris frowned, "And you?"
Alexander had to admit that Raymond could always hit the nail on the head.
Alexander touched his nose, "You hadn't been nice to her during those three years, so do you think I could be nicer to her than you?"
