The dinner was delicately made. Scarlett had prepared stewed mutton with red wine and fresh vegetables, which was perfect for winter days, and a braised cod with tomato and thyme, grilled asparagus with butter and cheese as well as prawn salad.
The color and the flavor of the food were almost Michelin level. Even though Francis was a very picky eater, he chewed away at the mutton and ate all the food on his plate.
“Thank you for this amazing treat. The mutton is perfect.” Francis finished his meal and wiped his mouth. Scarlett put down the fork and said, “Really? It’s probably because I used the red wine from your cellar.”

She was a little desperate. Her eyes were full of helplessness and despair. It was like being pushed to the edge of a cliff. Scarlett walked a step closer to Niki and asked calmly, “You really made up your mind?”“I’ve got no choice. I thought he would be responsible. But after I told him the news, he just froze and ran away without saying anything. Can you believe it? He ran away and disappeared! I was desperate and cried every single day… Then he texted me the other day…you read it yourself.”Niki took out her phone and handed it to Scarlett.The text read, “I’m sorry, Niki.

It felt like he was right next to Scarlett at that moment. She could even hear his furious breathing.Scarlett sensed that he was sulking and unhappy. She patiently explained to him in as gentle a voice as she could manage. “Honey, listen, just calm down. I haven’t run away. Why would I do that? One of my friends had a major emergency, so I accompanied her to the hospital to sort everything out. Didn’t you receive my messages?”Scarlett heard the sound of pages turning from the other side of the phone and suspected that Francis must still be working. She wished she could be with him at the moment.

So I guess he can understand my suffering better than anyone…”“Think about it, bro. Even your determined, eloquent, and powerful uncle couldn’t win the battle against his marriage, what about you, little pawn?” Scarlett’s words made him even more deflated.“But I think you could probably learn something from his experience… So just tell me about Francis’s divorce!

The scenery along the way was not all that fascinating, but Scarlett still enjoyed the ride. Passing mountains and plains, she felt at peace. Alice had fallen asleep right after eating some snacks, so Scarlett got some moments of calm and quiet all to herself. Just as Scarlett got tired and nodded off silently, the train arrived at the small station in Manbuca.Scarlett shook Alice awake gently, and the two hurriedly took their luggage and followed their teammates to the front. It was very cold at four o’clock in the morning. Scarlett tightly buttoned her thick down jacket but still felt cold deep in her bones.No one bothered to talk in such weather along the way since opening their mouths meant expending energy.The bus that was supposed to pick them all up had not arrived yet, so the group, with six people

Apparently, it was an old house but was clean and well-equipped with almost all the supplies they would need in their daily lives.Everyone set their luggage down inside the house and immediately decided that the two girls would take the rooms on the second floor, and the four boys would share the two rooms on the ground floor.

And one more thing I want to tell you is that our life is just like a basketball game– we have ups and downs in it, that is…sometimes we shoot and score, but sometimes we get blocked and find no way out…” Scarlett looked around and smiled at the crew of kids.“But no matter what happens, you have to stay determined and just keep going! Victory belongs to those who fight till the last minute. Just like our MVP today, Feynman Young!” Scarlett encouraged the kids to give warm applause for the most outstanding player in the game and then dismissed the kids for doing whatever they wanted.After another busy day, Scarlett returned to the house and laid down on the sofa.

When Scarlett woke up, it was eight o’clock in the morning. She rolled around in bed for a few moments before sitting up. Her head felt heavy.“You’re awake!” Francis said as he walked into the bedroom from the balcony. He smiled at her. “I thought you’d be out for hours. Aren’t you jetlagged? How long was the flight from Lisbon to Irving anyway? And didn’t you have a stopover in Dallas?”Scarlett rested her head on Francis’s shoulder and said, “Well, I wanted to go to bed early last night. No thanks to you, we ended up staying up so late! I barely got enough sleep. You’re exhausting me, Francis!”“Oh? Am I? I’m so sorry, Scarlett.” Francis teased.

He came to the balcony and lit up a cigarette and felt a little relaxed.“Brittany cried?” Scarlett asked in surprise.“Yep, she cried for over an hour,” he said as he breathed out a plume of thick smoke.Upon hearing that, Scarlett felt kind of guilty.

What’s going to happen to us while you’re gone? At least try to see if you can come back sooner….” Francis moaned unhappily.

Please go play by yourself.”But Brittany just ignored him and took Scarlett to jump on the balcony. She was excited about the big blue swimming pool in front of them and said, “Mommy, I want to swim.
