Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Nina's POV:

Scarlett, William, and I enjoyed a pleasant conversation in Moore mansion.

When I noticed that Scarlett was getting tired, I offered to say goodbye.

"Let me walk you up" Scarlett said, standing However, I stopped her immediately.

"You'd better go back and have a rest.I don't dare to tire you, in case Charles tries to get even with me!"

Scarlett didn't know whether to laugh or cry at my statement, but she didn't insist and instead asked

Janet to see us out.

When we walked out of the door, Janet walked up to me and whispered, "Nina, could you do me a

favor?"

Seeing how mysterious she was acting, I leaned over and lowered my voice as well.

"Go ahead."

"Scarlett and Charles are finally getting along well with each other.I hope you can be more careful with

your words when talking with them.Please don't say anything that might affect their relationship."

"Ah, I get it.You refilled the tea for me just now to interrupt me, right?”

"That's correct."

"Alright.Don't worry, I'll mind my words! the future."

I promised earnestly, patting my chest.

"More than anyone, I don't want any more ups and downs in their relationship.Scarlett's gone through a

lot.God should bless her."

Janet nodded, but she said nothing.

However, I could feel her care and affection for Scarlett.I hooked Janet's arm intimately, but my gesture

took her by surprise.

She stiffened, and looked at me with slightly widened eyes.I smiled at her, "We're both Scarlett's

friends, so that makes us friends too.Let's not be so distant with each other."

At this, Janet smiled as well.

"Okay."

I soon bade goodbye to Janet and left the mansion, and quickly caught up with William.

William smiled at me, amused.

"You're so popular."

I smiled back cheekily, and changed the subject. "Charles is really hard to deal with.He's so cunning,

tsk!Please don't say anything that might affect their relationship.

“Ah, I get it.You refilled the tea for me just now to interrupt me, right? That's correct."

"Alright.Don't worry, I'll mind my words! the future." I promised earnestly, patting my chest.

William smiled at me, amused.

I smiled back cheekily, and changed the subject.

"Charles is really hard to deal with.He's so cunning, tsk!"

"Well, which big shot in this world wouldn't be cunning?"

William's mellow laughter rang, pleasant to the ears.

"And what about you?"

As we walked, we happened to pass by a tree.

The sunlight poured through the leaves of the trees and fell on William's face.

In the contrasting light and dark etched by the shadows, his usual tenderness faded away and revealed

a rather frightening expression.

"Me? I'm even more horrible."

He grinned, looking so much different than his usual gentle appearance.

I couldn't help but laugh.

"Well, well! I didn't expect you to be so humorous."

We soon got out of the shade from the tree, and the shadows left William's face as sunshine enveloped

his entire being once again.

His usual gentle smile returned.

"I gave it a try, and I found that it wasn't very difficult."

William didn't leave until he walked me to my car.

He was quite the talkative man, as well as incredibly gentle and tender.

Simply put, he was flawless in all aspects.

If Scarlett hadn't reconciled with Charles, I would've tried to bring them together.

Afterward, I got in the car and called Abner.

"Hey, honey.How's everything going?"

"Scarlett's fine and dandy.She just needs some rest."

"That's great."

I started the car.

As the engine ignited, I asked, "Say, Abner, why do you care so much about Scarlett? Are you still in

love her?"

"Please.I'm obviously concerned about you! Anyway, I just bought some ingredients to make you

dinner.We're having steak tonight.What do you think?"

Abner was quick to change the topic.

I snorted, and didn't bother asking him anymore.

After saying goodbye to Nina and William, I headed straight to the baby's room.

Just as I picked James up, my phone rang.I had to put him back in the cradle.I reminded Tracy to

watch over him while I picked up my call.

After that, I exited the room and answered my phone.

"Hi, Scarlett."

"Hi, William.

What's the matter?"

"Did Charles ever tell you that my sister's heart was transplanted into Rita?"

His words took me by surprise.

I didn't expect him to be aware of the fact that I knew about the heart.I thought I had put on a good

enough act in front of him just now.

A brief pause later, and I admitted it frankly.

There was no point in hiding it.

"Yes."

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you this before, Scarlett.I just don't want you to misunderstand and think that I

have something to do with Rita," William explained sincerely.

"She may have my sister's heart, but we are not friends in the slightest."

"Okay," I replied lightly, trying to make my voice sound casual.

In all honesty, I didn't want to talk about Rita anymore.

After a few words with him, I hung up.

When I finally returned to the baby's room, I saw that James had fallen asleep.I called Tracy and Janet

to the corridor.

"I hope you can keep this a secret for me.Don't tell Charles what I talked about with Nina and William," I

said, looking at them sincerely.

They exchanged confused glances, silent.

I held their hands and added, "If Charles asks, you can just tell him that we were just chatting."

They looked back at me, and much to my relief, nodded in agreement.
