Chapter 147 What I want is to walk together all the way.

Once they got into the car, William was nowhere to be seen.

“Where’s Grandpa?” Yale asked.

Scarlett didn’t respond. She had a hunch about her grandfather’s intentions since he hadn’t been around

since they left.

Just then, Yale’s phone rang.

“It’s Grandpa,” Yale said, answering the call.

“Grandpa, where are you?” Yale asked, looking around for William.

“Oh, Yale, I drove off to the store to pick up some groceries. Could you please take Scarlett home? And don’t leave afterward; stay for lunch,” William said cheerfully over the phone.

Yale paused, understanding William’s intentions. He glanced at Scarlett and lowered his voice, “After I drop

Scarlett off, I can join you.”

“No need for that. Grocery shopping isn’t for you young folks. I’ll handle it myself. Just make sure Scarlett gets home safely!” William replied heartily over the phone.

Yale thought for a moment. “Alright, take care on your way. I’ll let Scarlett know.”

After hanging up, he turned to Scarlett. “Grandpa said he drove off to the store and asked me to take you

home first.”

Scarlett didn’t say a word, just buckled her seatbelt.

“Let’s go. Don’t let Grandpa’s good intentions go to waste.”

With that, she revealed the old man’s plan.

Yale smiled. “Also, Grandpa invited me to stay for lunch,” he said, looking at her with clear eyes, as if seeking

her approval.

Scarlett closed her eyes slightly. “Well, you’re in for a treat. Grandpa isn’t usually this warm and welcoming!”

Yale chuckled, feeling both gentlemanly and pleased.

Feeling acknowledged, he started the car and headed back.

On the road, Yale glanced at Scarlett beside him. Even though she was injured and without any makeup, she

still looked refreshingly beautiful.

Like a gift from nature, she had an effortless charm that made people want to be close.

After pondering for a moment, Yale looked at her.

“Does Hugo know everything?” he asked while driving.

Scarlett turned away from the window, glanced at him, and nodded. “Yes.”

“And… he didn’t say anything?”

Scarlett shook her head. “No, the outcome was better than I expected.”

“I thought someone from a wealthy family like him would fight tooth and nail for custody once he found out

he had a child,” Yale said.

“Yeah, I prepared for the worst, but it turned out better than I thought,” Scarlett replied, relieved that she didn’t have to stress too much about the child.

“Have you considered that maybe the reason he’s not fighting you is for something else?” Yale glanced at

Scarlett.

Men often understand each other with just a look, and Yale knew Hugo’s intentions. However, he wasn’t sure

what Scarlett thought.

Scarlett closed her eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips, not pretending to be oblivious. “By ‘something

else,‘ you mean me?”

Scarlett’s personality was evident right there.

When it comes to serious topics, Scarlett Adler never pretends or dodges the truth.

That’s exactly why Yale found himself drawn to her.

Yale nodded, “Yeah, you can tell he’s interested in that way.”

Scarlett smiled, “Is he? I don’t know. If he’s only after me because he wants a child, then he’s got it all wrong.”

“What if it’s not just about the child?” Yale asked, a hint of concern in his eyes.

Scarlett might not see it, but Yale could clearly tell that Hugo’s possessive gaze towards her was definitely

about more than just wanting a child.

Scarlett frowned, “That would be even harder!”

“Why?”

“Having failed once, why would I risk it again? I’m not a gambler; I won’t bet my future on it. Besides, I’m doing well now. I don’t necessarily need a man. If I do find someone, I want a partner to walk alongside me, not just someone to make things better when they’re already good,” Scarlett said earnestly.

Her words were directed at Hugo, but they were also meant for Yale.

All spur–of–the–moment love isn’t real love.

Yale listened, his eyes growing darker.

Though this wasn’t an absolute truth, he knew one thing for sure: Scarlett wasn’t the kind of woman who

could be easily won over with sweet talk.

In this journey, it was all about who could give more and who was willing to go further.

Yale nodded, “Yeah, I get what you mean.”

Scarlett smiled but said nothing more, her gaze drifting back out the window.

Soon, the car arrived at Scarlett’s neighborhood.

Yale carried the bags, chatting and laughing with Scarlett.

Coincidentally, Tara’s car was parked nearby, and she had just woken up.

Seeing the scene outside, she quickly nudged First.

First opened his eyes instantly, looking at Tara, his mind blank for a few seconds.

“What’s up?” he asked.

“Your mom!” Tara said.

First immediately sat up and looked outside, spotting Scarlett with Yale.

His brows furrowed.

“Who’s that guy? He’s pretty handsome!” Tara commented.

“Our school’s… board member!” Alex said.

“Your mom’s admirer, right?” Tara teased, hitting the nail on the head.

Alex stayed silent.

Then, they watched as the two went upstairs together.

Tara smirked, “I knew it. With your mom’s beauty, there’s no way she wouldn’t have admirers. A gem like her

shouldn’t just be left to Hugo.”

Alex rolled his eyes at her.

“Let’s go,” Tara said.

“Where to?”

“Follow them!” Tara insisted. “A man and a woman alone together–aren’t you worried your mom might be

taken advantage of?”

“Yale is a gentleman, not as shady as you think!”

“Still, they have to eat, right?” Tara pointed out.

After driving back and arriving downstairs, Tara didn’t have the heart to wake Alex, so she decided to sleep in

the car, only waking up now because of hunger.

Alex frowned, feeling hungry too, and then looked at her. “Didn’t you rent a place in our building?”

“Oh, right!”

“Let’s go to your place!” With that, Alex opened the door and got out.

Seeing this, Tara quickly followed him.

The apartment was indeed rented right below theirs, with the exact same layout, just a different style of

decor.

However, once inside, the fridge was completely empty.

First turned around to look at Tara, his face blank with disbelief.

Tara frowned, “I rented it on a whim and almost forgot about it. I haven’t even been back, so of course there’s

no food. Besides, I can’t cook, so buying groceries would be useless…”

First rolled his eyes at her.

How could someone live so carelessly?

By now, First was so hungry his stomach was practically touching his back.

“How about we order takeout?” Tara suggested.

First flopped onto the couch. “Sure.”

Tara picked up her phone and started tapping away. A few minutes later, she smiled, “Order’s in.”

When she turned back, First was already asleep on the couch again.
