Chapter 35


    Lenny was wearing a white shirt with the two topmost buttons undone. His sleeves were rolled up,


    revealing his slender forearms and wrists.


    In the daytime, he was dressed in a suit, looking serious, indifferent, and unapproachable. But now, he


    looked much more rxed, and he seemed easier to get along with.


    He was born with such a noble aura. Scarlet thought that everything he touched, even an ordinary bowl


    of noodles, turned into gold.


    In all aspects, Lenny was a perfect man but not a good husband.


    She was a young woman who once fell for him because of his good looks. After all, girls were always


    infatuated with handsome men.


    Unfortunately, even though Scarlet took a fancy to Lenny''s fine physique, it was useless. He didn''t love


    her at all. No matter how much she drooled over him, it only made him disgusted with her.


    Therefore, no matter how handsome he was, she wouldn''t really fall in love with him. If she couldn''t get


    closure and move on, she would definitely suffer.


    Staying away from Lenny was absolutely the right course of action.


    Staying with him was a dangerous thing.


    While Scarlet was lost in her own thoughts, Lenny suddenlymented jokingly, "Am I that


    handsome? Why are you staring at me like that?"


    "Ahem..." Realizing that she indeed had been staring at her ex-husband, Scarlet began choking on her


    noodles.


    She hurried to get some water to drink, but there was no water in front of her. But there was a ss of


    water in front of Lenny.


    Lenny immediately handed his ss of water to her.


    Scarlet gulped the water down and felt her throat ease up. Lenny heaved a sigh of relief when she


    stopped coughing.


    Scarlet was relieved herself. She almost died because she couldn''t swallow her noodles properly. She


    felt silly.


    But...


    Holding Lenny''s ss, Scarlet was lost in thought. His mother told her once that Lenny was a neat


    freak. He didn''t like it when people touched his personal belongings.


    He had his own tableware, teacups, and toiletries in the house.


    But she... drank from his ss just now.


    Suddenly, she felt nervous. Seeing that he didn''t mention it, she guessed that maybe he wasn''t going


    to make a big deal out of it. She quietly pushed the ss back in front of him, pretending that nothing


    had happened.


    Lenny was a little thirsty, so he picked up his ss and drank the remaining water from it. His lips and


    Scarlet''s touched the same spot in the ss''s rim.


    Seeing this, Scarlet gasped, averted her eyes, and then continued to eat.


    If Lenny didn''t really want other people using his stuff, then why did he drink the rest of the water from


    the ss?


    Lenny was also a little stunned. He suddenly realized this was the first time he had taken the initiative


    to give his ss to someone.


    He foundfort in the exnation that Scarlet was choking. It was an emergency, and he had to act

    fast and help her.


    But why did he drink the rest of the water from the ss that Scarlet already used?


    Because he was thirsty, he told himself. He found reasonable excuses for himself and continued to


    drink the water.


    "This is the first time that we sat close together and shared a meal." Scarlet couldn''t help sighing after


    eating in silence for a few moments.


    Thest time that they had a meal together was when they talked about getting a divorce.


    Each of them upied one end of the table. But this time, they were sitting next to each other.


    Hearing Scarlet''s words, Lenny frowned and thought about them carefully.


    In their one year of marriage, they only sat and ate together once. It was when they decided to part


    ways for good.


    Scarlet lowered her head and pinched her fingers. She was a little anxious and short of breath.


    "Well... Mr. Foster, I have never bothered you with or for anything during our marriage, have I?" Scarlet


    asked softly.


    Lenny didn''t like it when she called him Mr. Foster, but he didn''t say anything.


    "No, you haven''t."


    In the past year, she had never called him or asked him for anything.


    His mother and grandmother had been at odds with each other for many years. When Scarlet joined


    the family, the tension between them had eased a lot.


    Scarlet was like a peacemaker in the Foster family. She would invite Lenny''s mother and grandmother,


    Nita and Marlene Foster respectively, to dinner, tell them jokes, and have a great time with them.


    Lenny''s father, Jamal Foster, often went on overseas business trips. He was busy running the


    long time ago, so Marlene had been a bit lonely and so had Nita.


    Scarlet''s presence had been a greatfort to the two forlorn women.


    Sometimes, when she had nothing to do, Scarlet would even take them to watch a movie and go out


    for a walk. Because of Scarlet, Nita and Marlene''s rtionship had evolved for the better. They had


    be much more open-minded toward each other, and they learned how to spend quality time


    together.


    Every time Nita called Lenny, she would mention Scarlet and how she was such a sweet and delightful


    girl who always tried her best to make her inws happy.


    His mother liked her daughter-inw very much.


    Because Scarlet was instrumental to the mending and strengthening of his mother and grandmother''s


    bond, Lenny owed her a favor.
