GoodReadAfter they had lunch, they felt a little tired. Rowan and Viviana went to take a rest.
Scarlett took her laptop to the study to check the morning meeting summary that Katherine had sent to her.
At 5 p.m., Scarlett took Rowan and Viviana out to have dinner.
Although Chatbury City was a small city, there were many local special dishes.
Scarlett was not good at cooking. After she graduated from high school, she rarely came here. She always ate the local dishes of Juanton City. Today she ate her hometown's dishes again.

Many dishes of Chatbury City were spicy. Scarlett was afraid that Rowan and Viviana couldn't eat spicy food, so she asked the restaurant to add fewer chilies in the dishes and make some not spicy dishes.
Unexpectedly, Roman liked the dishes of Chatbury City very much. He ate as he thought of the life here when Kate and he were young. He said, "I'm older, and my taste has degenerated. These dishes taste less spicy than before." Hearing that, Scarlett smiled, "Grandpa, | asked them to add fewer chilies. | was worried that you and aunt couldn't eat spicy food." Besides, Rowan was older. He would better eat something light.
Hearing that, Viviana smiled, "Don’t worry. The dishes of my grandmother's hometown are very spicy. | grew up in my grandmother's home. | like spicy food very much." Then she paused and added, "I had a serious dental ulcer when | was pregnant with Larry, so | didn’t eat any spicy food during the ten months. After that, | rarely eat spicy food." Scarlett had never heard about that before.
The dishes of Deeton City were light.
Although they ate spicy food sometimes, only several dishes contained some chilies to add extra flavor. Thus, Scarlett was afraid that they couldn't eat spicy food.
Scarlett said, "OK. | won't ask them to reduce chilies tomorrow." "OK." They ate dinner happily.
After dinner, it was dark outside. The wind outside was cool.
Scarlett crossed the road with Rowan and Viviana. She took them to the old street.
The surroundings were different from Scarlett's memories. Only eight or nine years had passed by, but her house had been pulled down already. It was a commercial plaza now.
Scarlett said, "I lived here before. Some investors bought this place that year when | graduated from high school.
It becomes Resplendent Plaza now." Scarlett took Rowan by the arm and tried to tell him more about her past, "A path was here before. It led to the back door of my high school." Scarlett said as she pointed at the front smooth asphalt road. The bumpy path had become a wide road. There was a plaza and many tall buildings beside the road, so the road didn’t lead to the back door of the high school anymore.

If she went to the high school now, there was no shortcut anymore. She had to walk for fifteen minutes along the road.
Rowan looked in the direction where Scarlett pointed at. He kept silent.
Although Scarlett didn't say too much, he knew that everything had changed.
Although Scarlett had a good memory, she couldn't find any place that was similar to the past.
The downstairs stalls had disappeared already. Also, the old street had disappeared totally.
Scarlett compressed her lips and said," Grandpa, would you like to have a look at my high school?” Rowan said, "OK!" Everything had changed. The old buildings had become a plaza. The path had become a wide road. However, no matter how the surroundings had changed, the high school was still there.
Viviana said with a smile, "Larry said that Scarlett always ranked in the top 3 since she was a little kid."
