It was not snowing that day but it was windy, so Scarlett did not stay long in the cemetery and drove away after she finished pizza.
It was quiet in the street. Scarlett drove very slowly like a turtle moving tardily on the road.
Once she parked the car, she got a call from Alexis.
Looking up at the gloomy sky, Scarlett put the hand back, the one with which she was going to push the door open. "Don't you enjoy the lovers' world?" she said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlexis had been calling her frequently, but wasn't she worried if Justin got jealous? Alexis sneered, "Lettie, don't you know that you are my only true love? | just worry about you for the weather is terrible. How about coming over and having hotpot with us?" Scarlett smiled, "Does it maketoo ungrateful if | say no?" "Uh, can you bear to see my heart broken?" "Honestly, | can." But...
"I don't know what | am going to have for dinner tonight, so | might stop by because of your hospitality." "Cool. I'll take my leave to prepare the food for you." "You have my permission." Scarlett hung it up and looked at the steering wheel. All right. Maybe she should return the car after she got there.
Scarlett wound down the window and sat there staring blankly until it got 3 pm, then she drove to Alexis' house.
Being nostalgic, the house Alexis and Justin bought was near the one where they used to live. It was slightly far away from the downtown, so it took near one hour for Scarlett to get there.
It went dark at around 4 pm. Scarlett parked the car, paid the bill, and then gathered her coat walking toward Alexis' residential compound.
Scarlett was very familiar with this compound. She was nostalgic as well, but the place where her parents had the accident was just in the street opposite her house.
She was having a nap when she was told about the accident by her neighbor. It was a cold day when she ran out in pajamas. Though she lost a shoe when she went downstairs, she felt no coldness at all when she arrived at the chaotic site of the accident.
She had felt nothing but fear.
But fear didn't help. No matter how terrified she was, she had to be here alone in the funeral parlor watching her parents' remains turn into ashes.
A gossipy neighbor had been inquired about how much money the insurance company had compensated Scarlett. She heard it was one million, about which she was quite jealous.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfterward, Scarlett made her fortune owing to the indemnity, but if she could go back and make a choice, she would rather that there had been no such accident. Without the accident, she would not end up losing her family.
The street during the Hometown Day was very quiet. The security guard in the residential compound was kinda slack on the routine check. Before Scarlett asked him for a registration form, she was permitted t o go.
"Miss, where do you live? | have not seen you before." So beautiful Scarlett was. The guard was quite curious about which family she was from.
Scarlett smiled, "I don't live here but my friends do. They live in No.11 building C." "Oh, | see. | know that young couple. They are also good-looking, like superstars on the TV. My daughter said, "birds of a feather flock together". She is right. Btw, Happy Hometown Day. | have a present for you. It is not expensive and just take it." Scarlett was stunned. She hadn't been given presents from seniors for nearly ten years since her parents had died.
She was so surprised when she was given a present from a security guard who she just met for the first time.
Scarlett was a little bit touched. She accepted the present and took out an SVIP room card from Cloudhill Hotel.
She said, "Happy Hometown Day! The card is from the lucky draw held in my company, and | have a heap of them. Here you are. You or your friends can book a room with the card in Cloudhill Hotel for free."
