Chapter 2 I heard that you and William have obtained a certificate?
Scarlet was like a bystander, standing still and watching William Vance send Sarah Stafford to the parked car like a baby.
During the five years of their marriage, except for the day they received the certificate, she had never seen William Vance as gentle as before.
She thought that William Vance would not be gentle.
But today she found out that his tenderness was only for one person.
And that person, it wasn't her Scarlet.
"Stephen Thornton said, do you want to see me?" William Vance came over and asked standing in front of her.
Scarlet looked at him like she'd never known the person in front of her.
Obviously he said last night that he asked Stephen Thornton to ask her to sign it today.
It is clear that he brought everyone by his side...
Now it's another look like he doesn't know anything.
Scarlet collected her thoughts, "Let's go in and talk."
After speaking, Scarlet walked through the door first.
William Vance was one step behind Scarlet.
The two sat down by the window.
Scarlet didn't order any coffee, but asked the waiter for two cups of warm water, gave one to William Vance, and put the other in front of him, "Sorry, I'm too poor to drink coffee these days."
William Vance glanced at her, "Have you spent all the money I gave you?"
Scarlet answered irrelevantly, "When did she come back?"
William Vance hadn't spoken yet.
Scarlet asked again, "Last night?"
"Did you pick it up yourself?"
"People from the Stafford family know she's back..."
"Scarlet."
William Vance interrupted her in a deep voice, "What exactly are you looking for?"
Scarlet was stunned for a moment, looked at the person sitting across from him, and asked in a low voice, "Last night you said you asked Stephen Thornton to ask me to sign it, would you still sign it?"
Hearing Scarlet's words, William Vance raised his hand and pinched the center of his brows, looking at Scarlet with no warmth in his eyes, "I thought you would procrastinate and not want to sign."
Hearing this, Scarlet bent his lips, "If I don't want to sign, can I not sign?"
"cannot."
As soon as Scarlet finished speaking, William Vance answered.
Scarlet suppressed her smile, "So, why am I dragging?"
With that said, Scarlet picked up the water glass on the table, held it to his lips and took a sip, "William Vance, I'm ready to let go."
William Vance didn't answer her words, but when he heard what she just said, he felt an indescribable suffocation.
Scarlet met his cold eyes, "I'm going to let myself go, let you go, give you back to her, let you love her well, this road is too narrow, it won't fit the three of us, and I don't want to Continue to stay in the bottomless abyss, so I will take a step first and let the two of you go on the broad road."
After finishing speaking, Scarlet held out her hand to William Vance, "Where are the documents, I'll sign them."
William Vance just looked at her.
The person in front of him had been with him for five years, and he seemed to have only seen her when she was docile to him.
But I've never seen such a decisive, non-sloppy look like now.
Even, at this moment, there was an indescribable sense of oppression, which made him unable to breathe.
Just then, William Vance's cell phone rang.
William Vance withdrew his gaze and answered the phone with an unprecedented gentle tone, "Okay, I'll be right out."
After hanging up the phone, he returned to that cold look and looked at her, "I'll ask Stephen Thornton to bring you the documents."
Scarlet withdrew her hand and nodded, "Okay."
"However, today may be too late. Tonight, the Vance family will have dinner. Mrs. Vance asked us to go back together."
Scarlet was slightly stunned, and then responded, "Okay."
No matter how people in the Vance family treat her, or how William Vance treats her, but Vance family Mrs. Vance has nothing to say to her.
So Scarlet complied, and went to see Mrs. Vance again as his granddaughter-in-law, which was also a farewell.
They will not have any intersection in the future.
Scarlet sat in the cafe for over two hours before getting up to leave.
One p.m.
Philadelphia star hotel.
Scarlet parked the car and entered the hotel through the back door.
After searching around, I found Amaya Buchanan in the innermost temporary lounge.
When Amaya Buchanan saw her, she immediately greeted her, "I thought you were going to let me go because of William Vance again."
Scarlet looked at Amaya Buchanan with some embarrassment, "I... this time I will greet you first, and then let you go."
The smile on Amaya Buchanan's face disappeared instantly, "What did you say?"
"The Vance family is having dinner tonight, and Mrs. Vance asked me to go back with William Vance."
Amaya Buchanan stared at Scarlet for a long while, "So, you went too far and chose William Vance in front of me?"
Scarlet raised her hands and gently touched the corners of Amaya Buchanan's lips, "After today, my future choice will be you."
Amaya Buchanan raised her hand and clapped Scarlet's hand away, "You should save these sweet words for William Vance, I don't want to hear them."
"Amaya."
Scarlet suddenly called out seriously.
Amaya Buchanan didn't speak, just looked at her.
Scarlet looked at Amaya Buchanan for a while, then paused, "Where's the teacher? He didn't come?"
"Mr. Vance is going to be a courtesan. On this kind of occasion, there are three-year-old children, Mrs. Vance and Mrs. Vance in his 70s and 80s. Is there anyone he doesn't know?" Amaya Buchanan replied, suddenly Leaning closer to Scarlet, "Is there something you're hiding from me?"
Scarlet smiled at Amaya Buchanan, "Is there anything I can hide from you? I just got the license with William Vance without telling you."
Amaya Buchanan said coldly, "I will remember this forever."
Scarlet was pulled by Amaya Buchanan and sat down on a chair beside her, "Have you made any progress with William Vance?"
Scarlet thought for a while, "Yes."
Divorce is also progress.
Put an end to this failed marriage.
"That's good, five years, even a stone will warm her up in these five years."
Scarlet hummed, but said nothing more.
Yes, in five years, the stone can be warmed up.
But she failed so much that even the heart of a living person is not warm...
Scarlet stayed with Amaya Buchanan for a while, then went back to where she lived with William Vance.
Long Island.
Every time before going back, Scarlet would call the butler at the Vance family's old house ahead of time to ask who was in the dinner party.
This way she will prepare every gift.
But this time, Scarlet didn't call back.
She didn't want to cater to William Vance anymore, so there was no need to do some things.
In the evening, the door was opened on time.
Scarlet looked up at the sound.
William Vance entered through the door, followed by Sarah Stafford.
Scarlet was a little shocked. He didn't expect to go back to the Vance family, and William Vance planned to take Sarah Stafford with him.
"I'm going to change clothes, you wait for me here for a while." William Vance ignored Scarlet, just said something to Sarah Stafford, then turned and went upstairs.
Scarlet didn't intend to say anything, and didn't try to put herself in the hostess' place to make some superficial etiquette negotiations with Sarah Stafford.
"I heard that you and William have received a certificate?"
Just as Scarlet was concentrating on watching the show, a female voice sounded beside her.
