Haylan scratched his head in confusion.
Just now, Reign was still fine and talking and laughing with him. Both of them even said that they would together later.
In the end, Reign suddenly got angry.
The way she glared at him just now was filled with anger and even a trace of hatred.
âI really canât figure it out.â
Haylan scratched his head. He felt that he could not figure out Reignâs thoughts at all.
до for supper Haylan looked at the time. There was only an hour left before his appointment with Scarlett.
He picked up his phone and looked at it. There was a signal. He immediately called Scarlett.
âWhere are we meeting tonight?â
âSeven oâclock tonight, Tennessee Hotel, Sky Room 1.â Scarlett replied.
Haylan looked at the time. It was already past six in the evening He searched the map again. It would take at least 30 minutes to get there.
Haylan took out his phone and called Xander. âHow is Silver Fox?â
âMr. Jaber, donât worry. Sheâs not as weak as you think. An hour ago, she tortured Buckminster to the maximum. According to this situation, she wonât commit suicide, Xander said.
âWhere is she now?â
âFlensburg City. Itâs pretty close to Ms. Labenzâs hotel.â
âInform her that I asked her to accompany Ms. Labenz for a while. I have to go out and do something.â
âSure, no problem.â
After Haylan hung up the phone, he waited at the side until he saw Silver Fox and Xander arrive at the hotel. Only then did he feel relieved. He called a taxi and went straight to the Tennessee Hotel.
Twenty minutes later, Haylan appeared in front of the Tennessee Hotelâs Sky Room 1.
He took a deep breath and mentally prepared himself to reject Scarlett. He pressed the doorbell.
He had a past with Scarlett. Although he later found out that he was the third party in the relationship, it was also because of this that Scarlett broke up with her boyfriend.
Scarlett had privately invited him to meet. In his opinion, Scarlett might have come to rekindle their old relationship.
Now that he was within the Longhard Kingdom and had to wait for the masterâs next mission order, he couldnât leave with Scarlett.
Moreover, he was extremely satisfied with his current life and enjoyed it.
He had a job, was paid, and could be by his parentsâ side every day. The family was harmonious, always chatting and laughing together.
He would feel happy from the bottom of his heart every day when he saw his parentsâ smiling faces.
He felt that it was a good thing that life was so ordinary.
Therefore, he did not even want to get back together with Scarlett.
The reason why he came to meet Scarlett this time was to reject her.
âThe doorâs open. Come in.â
Scarlettâs gentle voice came from the room.
Haylan pushed open the door and walked in. In the end, he did not find any traces of Scarlett in the hall. Instead, he saw many fine wines and delicacies carefully prepared on the dining table.
Wearing an apron, Scarlett walked out of the kitchen with a fried pork chop. She smiled at Haylan and said, âWait a moment. Thereâs still a plate of vegetables that havenât been cooked.â
The current her was no longer as cold and ruthless as she was on the Swan Cruise.
She had her hair tied up and was wearing an apron. Her entire body was filled with a maternal glow as if she were a housewife in the Whileal Kingdom. She was gentle and virtuous.
With that, she put down the fried pork chop and continued to busy herself in the kitchen.
About ten minutes later, she came out with a plate of piping-hot boiled cauliflower. She placed it on the table and waved at Haylan âDonât just stand there. Hurry up and take a seat.â
Haylan looked at Scarlett and her blue eyes. He was puzzled. âI didnât expect Widow Assassin Scarlett to have such a gentle side to a housewife. How rare.â
âThere are many things you didnât expect. How is it? Seeing how virtuous I am, you regret not marrying me back then, right?â Scarlett teased with a smile.
âI do regret it a little Haylan nodded.
The reason why he broke up with Scarlet was not only because he realized that he was the third party but also because he felt that Scarlett was an assassin and would not have a stable life in this life.
Moreover, he had always wanted to break away from his career and live an ordinary life without fighting and killing.
After eight years of fighting, he was completely tired of living a life of bloodshed.
Returning to being ordinary was the greatest desire of his life.
Now that he saw how virtuous Scarlett was, he regretted it a little.
âIf you ask me now, I promise to get a divorce, marry you, and do laundry and cook for you for the rest of your life,â Scarlett said.
âYouâre joking, right?â Haylan laughed.
âIâm serious! For the past few years, Iâve been waiting for you to say this.â Scarlett looked serious.
Her blue eyes were fixed on Haylan.
Haylanâs expression changed. He put down the fork that he had just picked up. âAre you sure youâre serious?â
âI am serious! Haylan, do you despise me as a fallen woman?â Scarlett nodded seriously with her sparkling eyes.
Haylan frowned slightly and said, âNot at all.â
Scarlettâs eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, âThen youâre willing to marry me?â
Haylan smiled and said. âStop pretending. I know youâre joking. Moreover, in my opinion, youâre not a fallen woman but a good wife and mother.â
âItâs just, you know, I donât like to ruin other peopleâs families.â
Scarlett smiled. âSure enough, I canât lie to you. I was just saying it casually. Besides, I already have a family and three children. I canât possibly bring my family to marry you.â
âI asked you over this time just to catch up with you. I donât have any other intentions.â
With that, she took out a wine glass and opened a bottle of red wine. She poured a glass for Haylan and another for herself. Haylan took the wine and took a sip. Then, he asked, âThatâs good. How have you been recently?â
âSo-so. Working and taking care of the family at the same time. Quite busy. What about you? Still working as a mercenary?â âIâve been on vacation for the past two months.â
The two of them chatted as they ate as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years. They chatted and laughed.
The two of them talked a lot in that one hour of meal.
They talked about mercenary work, assassination work, family, the market, and whether the food was expensive. Scarlett even told Haylan about parenting.
Speaking of parenting, Scarlett took a sip of red wine and leaned over. She kissed Haylan and smiled. âIf youâre free, come to the Whileal Kingdom and see my daughter. There will be a surprise waiting for you.â
Haylan was stunned. âWhat surprise?â
Scarlett smiled mysteriously and said, âYouâll know when the time comes!â
Haylan was stunned when he heard that.
Surprise?
Could it be that Scarlettâs daughter was his daughter?
It couldnât be that melodramatic, right?
