Flirting With My Ex-husband
Chapter 501

"Scarlett, Ray."

Alexander walked over with a glass of red wine in his hand. A waiter happened to be walking past him, and he took a glass of juice and a glass of red wine from the tray. After handing the glass of red wine to Raymond, he was just about to give Scarlett the juice when his eyes met Raymond's cold ones. His hand shuddered. "Ah, I'm a bit thirsty."

Scarlett lifted her brows and turned to glance at Raymond with a half smile." What should I drink?"

Raymond walked straight to the waiter and took a glass of juice. "Grape juice."

Scarlett smiled, "Thanks." "Ms. Reed."

At that moment, Yvonne walked over with a glass of red wine in her hand and said simperingly, "Did you and Mr. Shaw come in together?"

Scarlett knew that Yvonne would soon get her comeuppance, so she didn't mind Yvonne acting smugly for a little while longer. "Do the Sheridans not allow their guests to bring friends?"

"I wouldn't say that. I'm just making conversation."

With that Yvonne's eyes rested on Raymond. "I've hardly seen you bring a date to a party like this before, Mr. Shaw."

The undertone in her words was very obvious. She was belittlingly calling

Scarlett his date.

Scarlett, however, was not annoyed. She flicked a glance at the pin on Yvonne's dress and asked meaningfully, "Ms. Sheridan, you like children very much. Am I right?"

Yvonne's face changed. "I don't know what you are talking about."

Scarlett smiled and took her cue from Yvonne. "Don't get me wrong, Ms.

Sheridan. Your pin strikes me as adorable. I'm just making conversation."

Surely Scarlett was allowed to make conversation as Yvonne did?

Having a guilty conscience, Yvonne found herself unable to continue picking on Scarlett. "Enjoy yourself, Ms. Reed."

With that Yvonne walked away, wine glass in hand.

Looking at her receding back, Scarlett lowered her head, took a sip of grape juice and smiled.

Alexander clicked his tongue. "It seems Yvonne's still hanging up on you, Ray."

After saying that, Alexander glanced at Scarlett, as if trying to escalate the situation so he could enjoy a show.

Scarlett tossed Alexander a glance and smiled thinly, "You know a lot, Mr. Smith."

After a brief pause, she added, "But more often than not, those who know too much don't end up well."

Alexander thought speechlessly, 'I'm just joking. Does she really have to be so mean?'

Raymond cast a glance at Alexander, a Get-out-of-my-sight look in his dark eyes.

Alexander snorted, "Fine. I'm going to get out of your hair."

He thought, 'Tsk, tsk. Such lovey-dovey air is insufferable!"

After walking back to Stephen and Jake, Alexander regained part of his selfconfidence as a bachelor. "It'd be best if we leave Ray alone. He's busy dating." Stephen looked at Alexander as if the latter were an idiot. Jake chuckled, "In case you haven't noticed, Stephen and I have been sitting here all along."

He thought, 'You're the only one stupid enough to be the weird third wheel'

Alexander who was regarded as a fool by his friends said, "...All I did was greet them."

"Okay."

Jake made a response lazily. He couldn't be bothered to explain it to a moron.

The Sheridan family was quite prestigious in Juanton City, otherwise Yvonne would never have agreed to marry Darrell.

Jasper was throwing a party to celebrate his 80th birthday tonight, and almost all members of the local upper class had come.

The instant Raymond and Scarlett walked inside, many attendees noticed them.

Hardly anybody took the words that Yvonne had said to pick on Scarlett seriously. News about Raymond publicly trying to win Scarlett's affections again could be seen online half a year ago. At the sight of the two of them walking inside together, many people suspected that Raymond and Scarlett had gotten back together.

But no matter whether that was true or not,

many women were very jealous of Scarlett.
