Flirting With My Ex-Husband

Chapter 28

Chapter 28 Scarlett stood there for two seconds before she withdrew her gaze and turned around to go up t o the third floor. She changed into a loose shirt and cotton pants, then she went down again. Michael had finished all the dishes and was standing while taking pasta at the dining table. Scarlett entered the kitchen to wash her hand. She saw the four dishes and a soup on the dining table, then she looked at the youth opposite her. “You’re a good cook.” “Practice makes perfect.” The other party had little interest in talking. Scarlett was also not Alexis, hence she curled her lips slightly and did not say anything else. Despite that, she was right; Michael was indeed a good cook, so much so that even she, a great cook, was quite envious. After eating and drinking enough, Scarlett cared for Michael like an older sister, which was rare. “You just turned 18 this year?” “Mm.” “Should you be in school at this age?” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“Elder Sister Alexis said to sign the contract first while she helps me with my enrollment here.” “Oh.” Scarlet responded. She took a sip of her soup and asked another question, “Your family doesn’t have a problem with it?” The teenager’s face instantly turned cold. Scarlett shrugged and finished the last mouthful of soup inside the bowl. “I’ll wash the plates.” “I’ll wash.” Michael had stood up. Scarlett withdrew her hands and did not fight with him. While Michael went to wash the plates, Scarlett cut the honeydew she had just bought. She brought them to the living room and turned on the TV, and she enjoyed the fruits after dinner. Michael was done washing the plates very quickly. Scarlett pointed at the melons on the table. “They’re

very sweet.” “Mm.” ‘Tsk, he really talks very little. He’s so young, but he’s like a little old man.’ Scarlett looked at Michael and said, “I’m going upstairs to my room to work on something. Call me if anything happens.” “Mm.” ‘That again. Scarlett raised her eyebrow. She did not expect Michael to say anything, so she turned around and went upstairs. Nonetheless, Michael never came looking for her even until she fell asleep. The rather pleasant day ended just like that but before it really ended, Scarlett sat on her bed and could not help but think of Raymond’s words in the afternoon. She was in a not-so-good mood again. She got up and went to open a bottle of red wine, and she drank half a glass to help her sleep. As she wished, she slept soundly without any dreams that night. The next morning, right after Scarlett woke up, her head ached a little when she saw several consecutive calls from Alexis. She rubbed her temples while holding the phone. “If I’m not mistaken, it’s only 7:15 am.” “I’m not doing this on purpose, Lettie. Things happen for a reason, things happen for a reason!” Scarlett frowned. “What’s the matter?” “It’s actually nothing much. You’re trending again… But it’s not looking too positive this time.” After hearing that, Scarlett did not expect Alexis to be able to explain everything to her clearly. “Alright, I’ll go see for myself. I’ll hang up first.” “Then call me right after you see it and tell me how to handle it! This thing must be handled a s it’s going to keep trending. The impact isn’t too good.” Scarlet clicked her tongue. “I got it.” Afterward, she hung up and opened Twitter to take a look.

Scarlett could not help but laugh after she looked at the context clearly. She tossed her phone t o the bed and turned around to enter her bathroom to wash up. It was not a big deal.
