Scarlett Jennings’s movements were extremely light, like a feather brushing past, touching briefly and then retreating.
Yet Samuel Chalmers felt as though his forehead had been scalded, warmth spreading to the tip of his heart, as if ripples were suddenly stirred in a calm pool of water.
Along with it, the golden light around him... became chaotic in an instant.
Scarlett Jennings looked at the faintly flickering golden light around him, a familiar feeling that made her gently curl her lips.
As soon as Samuel Chalmers raised his eyes, he suddenly met her slightly curved lips; instinctively, he furrowed his brow,
"Scarlett Jennings, you..."
Samuel Chalmers’s voice was slightly deep, looking at the person in front of him, seeming to want to explode, yet unable to find a reason.
He hadn’t expected her to suddenly come close.
Clearly, in his memory, she wasn’t such a proactive person...
As Samuel Chalmers thought this, a certain memory suddenly lit up in his mind.
It was when she successfully opened the passage to the Otherworld and was about to leave; it was the last time she bid him goodbye. At that time, she also suddenly approached and then... kissed him.
As the memory was awakened, his lips seemed to clearly recall the soft and light touch from back then.
Samuel Chalmers suddenly stood up, but the golden light all around him visibly became even more chaotic.
Scarlett Jennings saw the chaotic jumping of the golden light around him and his seemingly deepened expression; just as she was about to ask, she saw him suddenly turn around without a glance, striding away.
Scarlett Jennings was stunned, clearly not expecting such a reaction from him.
Was he... angry?
Not to mention Scarlett Jennings, even the Dashiels who had been secretly watching couldn’t help but jump out.
"What’s going on with Brother Samuel?!"
The fiancée had made a move, yet he turned and walked away!
Does he truly not want a wife???
Dashiel couldn’t understand, and neither could the little papermen.
It was only Shellback pretending to be profound,
[According to analysis from my system’s database, Samuel Chalmers’s reaction just now clearly indicated he was angry.]
Its voice was inaudible to Dashiel and the little papermen, but Scarlett Jennings could hear it.
Hearing the system reach the same conclusion as her, Scarlett Jennings thought to herself, it was indeed so.
"Samuel Chalmers probably thinks... I offended him."
Scarlett Jennings could only think of this reason.
After all, aside from those memories, Samuel Chalmers now has nothing else with her.
In his eyes, she might be no different from Simon and Dashiel.
It was normal for him to feel offended.
A trace of annoyance flashed in Scarlett Jennings’s eyes, but that was all there was.
She knew her behavior just now was reckless, but she never intended to coax Samuel Chalmers with warm water from the start.
In her view, appropriate stimulation was necessary.
Moreover, she also wanted to slightly validate her speculation.
When Dashiel heard Scarlett Jennings’s reason, he was first incredulous, but upon calming down, it seemed reasonable.
After all, his brother is now the National Protection Dragon Vein, and it’s indeed not appropriate to kiss the Dragon Vein carelessly.
But even so, turning away so angrily and leaving wasn’t necessary, was it?
Ah, his brother has indeed changed now.
Become stingy.
...
Dashiel originally thought that his meticulous arrangement could at least allow Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers’s relationship to take off.
But judging by the current situation, it seemed to have flown, but too far.
