Scarlett Xavier listened as Mrs. Rhodes talked about Julian Rhodes' past and smiled, "I'm sorry."
It felt as if she had stolen Julian away.
Mrs. Rhodes said, "Sorry for what? Sorry for stealing him? If that's the case, you indeed should apologize to me."
Scarlett looked at her. At this moment, Mrs. Rhodes was exceptionally gentle.
Especially today, when she heard her sister-in-law and grandfather speak for her quite a bit.
The estrangement between them seemed to have lessened as she looked at her.
She's not a saint; she's human too, with her own little emotions, impulses, and weaknesses.
Scarlett looked at Mrs. Rhodes and heard her say, "But I'm very happy... because my silly son finally knows how to date! He also finally knows how to cherish his wife. So, in the future, remember to treat him well and don't make him sad again, alright?"
Mrs. Rhodes' tone was extraordinarily gentle and pleading.
Scarlett looked at her, nodded, her voice slightly hoarse, "Okay."
