Flirting With My Ex-Husband

As they chatted, they walked to the school gate.

Scarlett said goodbye to Mrs. Towver and gave Rowan her arm to help him to the neighbourhood.

Viviana was beside them, smiling at Scarlett, "Why didn't you choose to go to Kennore State High School back then?" Scarlett glanced up at Viviana and smiled sheepishly, "Didn't you guess, Aunt Viviana?" Hearing Scarlett's words, Viviana laughed," Did you reject Kennore State High School just because your previous school was closer to home?" "yes." Scarlett answered and glanced at the opposite traffic lights, "Kennore State High School is too far away. It's more than half an hour by bus." Rowan said, "You are the same as your brother." "Really?" Viviana continued, "That was true. When he was in junior high school, another school tried to poach him, but he rejected it because it was too far and difficult for him to go to school." Scarlett didn't realize Larry was just like her. For Scarlett and Larry, however, changing schools didn't affect their grades much, but it did affect their time to school and they had to take the bus to school. If they went to school on rainy or snowy days, it was too much trouble for them.

They got home after nine o ‘clock in the evening. Rowan was old and usually slept at this time.

It had been a tiring day for Rowan. Scarlett had filled a basin of warm water for him to soak his feet in.

It was around ten o'clock in the evening when Scarlett went to her room to take a shower.

Scarlett was a little tired, too. She sent Raymond a Facebook message to say "good night" just before she went to bed. She put her phone down, turned sideways and quickly fell asleep.

Probably because Scarlett went back to her high school today, she dreamed a lot about her former student days.

Scarlett's life was carefree until she graduated from high school. Her parents loved each other very much.

Although her family was not particularly rich, it was not too bad, and she did well in school. Many people envied her family.

In her dream, in her sophomore year of high school, she came home from a singing competition with Alexis, and her mom and dad had a surprise for her birthday when she walked in.

Scarlett couldn't keep her eyes open when the alarm went off the next day, and it took her a while to wake up.

It was getting light completely outside the window, with light faintly shining through the cracks in the curtains.

She got a message from Raymond on her phone. They really didn’t communicate well with the sixteen-hour time difference between them, so they both tacitly agreed to send the message first and the other one replied when he or she saw it, not seeking to be online at the same time.

It was a fine day today. Scarlett took Rowan and the others to the cemetery this afternoon.

In April of this year, Scarlett visited the cemetery to worship her parents.

The cemetery was specially taken care of, so it looked pretty neat.

The cemetery was located at the foot of a hill in the Wakiza District of Chatbury City. The deeper they went into the cemetery, the bigger the headstones.

Scarlett's parents loved each other and their unexpected deaths were tragic, and Scarlett, who was only seventeen years old, buried them together.

Scarlett didn’t have much money at that time because it would be months before she could get the demolition money for her family’s old house. She borrowed some money from her parents’ colleagues and totally spent more than 200,000 dollars buying a good tomb to bury her parents together.

Scarlett, Rowan and the others walked up the stairs for nearly ten minutes before she stopped and helped Rowan down the side path.

They reached the middle of the path, where the tombs of Scarlett's parents were.

The headstones of Scarlett's parents were next to each other, and beneath them were her parents’ ashes.

On the headstones were two photos of Scarlett's parents, taken on their tenth wedding anniversary, when they were still young in their thirties.

Pearl looked more like Rowan, and his eyes turned red when he saw the photos on the headstones.

Pearl was just ten years old the year she got lost, and the photos showed that Pearl, without the baby fat on her face, looked more like Rowan when he was young.

When Pearl was first born, Rowan was proud of the fact that his daughter looked like him and loved to carry Pearl outside to play when he got home from training.

Pearl was very close to him. At that time. Rowan was serious to his subordinates and Ben, but he doted on Pearl.

Kate used to say that Rowan doted on Pearl so much and what he would do when Pearl grew up and married into another family.

He always said Pearl wouldn't get married and he would raise her forever.

Everything was so good back then. Rowan became more lenient to his subordinates because of Pearl.

That all ended when Pearl was ten years old. When Pearl first got lost, Rowan panicked even more than Kate, but he was so used to being the superior that he naturally didn't express his feeling, and he was the only one who knew his body was shaking.

For many years, he spent his vacation every year looking for Pearl. He had been looking for her for nearly thirty years, but he did not expect that his beloved daughter had been already dead.

Fearing that Rowan would be upset, Scarlett called him, "Grandpa." Hearing Scarlett's voice, Rowan came to his sense. He raised his hand to wipe his eyes and fixed his gaze on the photos of Scarlett's dad, "Your dad is so handsome." Scarlett smiled, "Mom said one of the reasons she married Dad was because he was handsome." Rowan froze, "That's your mom's character. Your mom loved pretty things when she was young. She demanded that the clothes she wore, the things she held and the toys she played with were beautiful." "When | was young, Mom loved making me pretty little dresses and tied my hair in beautiful braids." Rowan glanced at Scarlett, "I don’t think you like these things very much." Scarlett smiled, "I don’t really like these things, but | don't hate them either. Mom said | was nothing like her, that | only liked plain things, which made me look bored." Rowan was much happier when his granddaughter described his daughter as a match for what he remembered.

"Did your father drink?" As Rowan asked his assistant to open the bottle of wine, Scarlett shook her head, "My tolerance is the same as my dad. One glass of wine gets me drunk." Rowan nodded, "It was good if he didn’t drink. This kind of man was family-oriented." "Dad came home as soon as he got off work.

Rowan was relieved to know that his daughter had married a good man.

The assistant handed over a bottle of wine to Rowan, and he took it, "You are bad at drinking, but you have to drink this glass of wine. After drinking it, you will be my son-in-law." As Rowan spoke, he poured a glass of wine and took a sip of it.
