\u201cGo sleep in the guest room,\u201d Scarlet said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve got my own bedroom. Why would I sleep in the guest room?\u201d William lowered his voice. He didn\u2019t want to wake the\u00a0<\/p>\n
others and make a scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOpen the door,\u201d he instructed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlet refused. \u201cSleep wherever you want. You\u2019ve never been short on options anyway.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright. You win.\u201d William sounded furions. \u201cScarlet, what sins did I commit in my last life to end up with you tormenting me in this one?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After that, there was no movement outside the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After drying her hair and lying down, Scarlet heard knocking again. She assumed it was William. \u201cAre you done yet?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ellen\u2019s voice sounded from the other side of the door, \u201cScarlet, I brought you some things.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlet went to open the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ellen had brought a whole bundle of items, from spare clothes to her everyday skincare and makeup, along with little. necessities like a phone charger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Cooper asked me to bring these to you,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlet couldn\u2019t help wondering if William had gone out earlier to get these things. After a brief pause, she accepted the bag. Thank you, Ellen.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t mention it,\u201d Ellen replied. \u201cGet some rest. You\u2019ve got work in the morning.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlet hummed in response.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Ellen left, she locked the door again. She put everything away, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep in the gentle glow of the lamp.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a while, she suddenly opened her eyes and got out of bed. She crouched to the ground and followed the circle of floor lights, as if hunting for a long\u2013lost treasure..\u00a0<\/p>\n
Those floor lights were just like the ones at Wolke Bay, with no visible wires.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She wondered if the wiring had been hidden in advance and when it was installed. She had always been afraid of the dark and often had nightmares, so she needed a light on while sleeping.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the small room downstairs, she could only use a table lamp. If it was too bright, it hurt her eyes. If it was too dim, some corners remained dark.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Compared to a table lamp, those floor lights lit up the whole room, bathing every corner in a gentle glow that made her feel calm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
William probably never had the habit of sleeping with a light on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlet hadn\u2019t paid attention before and didn\u2019t know when those floor lights had been installed. Anyway, they had definitely been there the first time she slept here after the wedding.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t understand anything about wiring, and even after studying it for a while, she still couldn\u2019t figure it out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Downstairs, the living room was quiet, and everyone else had gone to bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After delivering the things, Ellen carried a bowl from the kitchen and quietly opened a door.\u00a0<\/p>\n

2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emily, who had been sleeping peacefully on the bed, rolled over and opened her eyes. \u201cIs everyone asleep?\u201d she asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are.\u201d Ellen whispered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She set up a small tray on the bed and brought over the pea and ham soup. \u201cI saved a bowl for you. It has been simmering all this while \u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emily, who had been weak at dinner, now sat up energetically and drank her steaming bowl of pea and ham soup. She remarked, \u201cI can tell exactly what nonsense Scarlet is about to say the moment she opens her mouth. Good thing I was quick to respond.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou really scared everyone,\u201d Ellen said. \u201cJust now, Mr. Cooper and Scarlet seemed to have another argument.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAbout what?\u201d Emily asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t dare go over, so I don\u2019t know what it was about this time,\u201d Ellen replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you even know why they want a divorce?\u201d Emily asked further.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not sure. I just overheard someone saying that Mr. Cooper still had feelings for Ms. Jameson and went to Amriva to see her,\u201d Ellen responded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emily looked unconvinced. \u201cWhat could he possibly have with that Nicole? It was all stirred up by Justine back then. He never seemed serious when they were together. Nicole is dramatic, and she can\u2019t compare to Scarlet.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe it\u2019s just gossip. We\u2019ll never really understand the ins and outs of their little quarrels,\u201d Ellen said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNot a single one of them gives me peace. If I\u2019d come back a few days later, this house might have fallen apart.\u201d Emily sighed and continued, \u201cI\u2019ve been praying on the mountain every day, wishing them well. How did these two end up making life so complicated?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ellen suggested, \u201cWhy don\u2019t we ask Mr. Brooke or Mr. Thompson? They\u2019re close to Mr. Cooper, so maybe they know something.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emily nodded. \u201cThat brat from the Thompson family should work. He\u2019s kind of dumb, and he sticks to William like glue every single day. There\u2019s no way he doesn\u2019t know a thing or two.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
