Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 224 You Are Back

She had been with Harry for months, but they had no other intimate behaviors except for hugging and kissing.

In the past, Scarlett didn’t have much curiosity about it and even felt a little disgusted. However, after getting

together with Harry, she couldn’t help but fantasize about his kiss from time to time.

During New Year, both of their parents met each other. After that, they got engaged.

As for getting married, her father thought that she was still too young and that it could be delayed.

She had some scruples before. However, after getting engaged, she thought that it would be fine for her to do

those things.

She invited Harry to dinner that night at the instigation of her friend.

She wanted to take that opportunity to get closer to him.

In fact, she wasn’t very good at cooking. She had never been to the kitchen because she had housekeepers cooking

for her at home. However, for that night’s meal, she had been spending time in the kitchen with the housekeepers

for days.

Upon thinking of that, Scarlett got a little excited.

She came out of the master bedroom and opened the next room’s door. At a glance, she was sure that Harry lived

in that room. The decoration style and furnishings of the room were very in line with his style.

It was in a black-and-white style, like a show house.

She looked around curiously and went to the bathroom to pry into the man’s privacy. Every time she found out a

little more about him, she felt happy and satisfied.

Her heart was pumping excitedly.

When she came out of the bathroom, she walked to the bedside and gently stroked the quilt with her palm. The

quilt was dark gray, and the fabric was soft.

She couldn’t help but think about the scene of her lying on that bed at night, and her heart seemed to pop out of

her chest. She dared not think further. When she stood up and was about to leave, she suddenly caught a glimpse

of something.

Upon looking closely, she realized that it was strands of hair, part of which was on the pillow, and the rest was

pressed under the quilt.

Scarlett’s heartbeat suddenly slowed down as if she had been frozen. She stared at the hair for a while before

reaching out to pull it out of the quilt. It was a long strand of black hair.

Obviously, the hair didn’t belong to Harry.

Hence, it must be that there had been another woman who had slept on that bed recently.

Scarlett’s expression changed instantly. She stared at the hair with a cold face and gloomy eyes for a long time.

She seemed to remember something. She went to the trash can by the bed, opened the lid, and found that the

inside had been cleaned and covered with a new trash bag.

Scarlett stared at the trash can for a while and thought about something. Then, she got up and put away the hair.

After going downstairs, Scarlett sat down for a while and began to prepare the ingredients for the evening.

She liked western food and planned to make steak and pasta. It was clear that Harry seldom ate at home; except

for a few bottles of water, there were no other things in the refrigerator. He didn’t even have any seasonings. The

kitchen was basically empty.

Fortunately, she had also bought the seasonings she needed along with the ingredients.

Harry arrived home at seven o’clock in the evening. Scarlett trotted to meet him when she heard the door being

unlocked. Upon seeing him standing at the door, she immediately rushed up and threw herself into his

arms.

“Harry, you’re back.” She held the man’s thin waist and spoke softly in his chest.

Harry looked down and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Scarlett looked up at Harry’s face without hiding the affection in her eyes. He had a handsome face with sculpted

eyebrows and a defined jawline. Every part of his face seemed sharp, probably because he was always serious.

It was scary, especially when he stared at people. However, people couldn’t help but submit to him at the same

time.

She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on his lips shyly. “Nothing. I missed you.”

Harry stroked her hair and said as if coaxing a child, “Let go of me first. I’ll change my shoes.”

Scarlett let go of him obediently. She watched him change his shoes and then smiled and took his arm, saying, “Go

get changed upstairs. Come down for dinner after that.”

She had already marinated the steak. All she needed to do then was pan-fry it.

The timing would be perfect.

Harry glanced at the kitchen expressionlessly and went upstairs while loosening his tie.

Back in the room, he went to the bathroom first. While he was washing his hands, he looked at the items on the

storage rack for a few seconds. Then, he went into the walk-in wardrobe to change his clothes as if nothing had

happened.

After changing his clothes, he answered a phone call before going downstairs.

As soon as he went downstairs, he heard a cry of pain coming from the kitchen. He strode over and sensed a

pungent smell of burnt smoke. Holding a wooden spatula in one hand, Scarlett stood at the side in a hurry. and

didn’t dare to approach the stove at all.

The scene reminded Harry of something.

That had happened when he first married Yuliana.

Before getting married, Yuliana didn’t know how to cook anything except instant noodles. She had tried to cook for

him, but she failed. She knew she didn’t have that talent, so she didn’t try again.

When he came to his senses, he walked over and pulled Scarlett aside. Turning off the fire, he said, “Forget about it.

Let’s go out and eat.”

He and Scarlett exchanged glances. She looked frustrated.

She wanted to perform well in front of Harry, but everything had turned out to be a mess.

Finally, they went out to eat. After eating, Harry sent Scarlett back to the Lynch residence.

The car stopped at the door and didn’t drive in.

Scarlett sat quietly and didn’t unfasten her seat belt after a long while.

Frustrated, she lowered her eyes, bit her lips, and said, “Harry, am I useless? I can’t even cook a meal.”

Harry didn’t have the habit of coaxing people with patience. He glanced at Scarlett and said, “It’s getting late. Go

back to rest early.”

Upon hearing that, Scarlett became more upset. She looked at Harry with reddened eyes and said, “Harry, Ms.

Livingstone knows how to do everything, right? She is certainly not as useless as me.”

Harry’s eyes darkened a little. His gaze was full of overwhelming pressure, which made Scarlett feel hurt.

She hurriedly said, “I’m sorry, Harry. I didn’t mean to.”

Harry looked away from her face and said in an indifferent voice, “You don’t have to compare yourself with her.

Both of you are two different individuals. It doesn’t matter whether you can cook or not. The housekeepers can do

that kind of stuff for us

After hearing that, Scarlett didn’t feel happier, but it made her even more uncomfortable.

She thought, “In Harry’s heart, I don’t even deserve to be compared with Yuliana?”

She thought of the strands of hair, which were longer than Yuliana’s. However, it had been a while since she had

last seen Yuliana. The latter’s hair had been tied up at Zachary’s birthday party at the Solace residence, and the

length couldn’t be seen.

Yuliana’s hair was also black.
