GoodReadAlexis knew a lot of people around Petrine. She immediately took a screenshot and sent it to Scarlett.
"Awesome! | thought you just wanted to teach her a lesson! | didn't expect you to cup with such a good idea." Scarlett put the pizza in the pan while laughing. "I didn’t expect Jadon to get things done so fast." Alexis on the other end of the phone frowned when Scarlett mentioned Jadon. "I heard Justin say that Jadon was a bully. You have to be careful." "I know. Things will work out." "Why are you so calm?" Scarlett raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why don't you think I'm in control of everything?" Alexis felt she was being fooled and decided to change the subject, so she asked, "Are you sure you're not coming over for dinner tonight?" "No, you can have your own world." "You're not going to feel sorry for yourself, right?" Scarlett tsked. "Wow, Lexi, you're clever enough to figure it out quickly!" "Hey, | graduated from a key university!" "Oh, having a bachelor's degree is amazing." Alexis said nothing. She felt that she was satirized by the know-it-all.
"I'm hanging up now." Scarlett chose to spend Hometown Day at halone.
The neighborhood was pretty lively, but it had nothing to do with Scarlett because she was alone.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtScarlett considered for a while whether to cook a hearty dinner but she gave up the idea because she was not good at cooking and could only cook a few simple dishes.
Her family was not rich in the past, and her parents had saved for twenty years before they bought the apartment.
After they lived here for less than two years, her parents died, leaving her alone.
Alexis was right.
It was indeed a bit pathetic that she was alone and ate the bad-looking pizza she made when other families were happy.
The snow stopped today and it was nearly dark now. There were children setting off fireworks inside the neighborhood.
Scarlett finished the pizza, watched TV for more than two hours, and then went to take a shower and go to bed.
Today was no different from every day she had ever spent, except that she was homesick, but she no longer had a home.
Two days later, the snow on the road melted. Scarlett rented a car to go to the cemetery.
Scarlett's parents had an accident together and died together that year. Their tombstones were right next t o each other.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere were still snowflakes on the tombstones.
Scarlett took out the tissue to clean two tombstones.
After that, she took out the pizza inside the thermos box and said to the tombstone, "Dad, | can make pizza now.
Although it's not as good as mom's, | won't let myself go hungry." It was a rough ride to the cemetery, and it was past one o'clock in the afternoon.
Scarlett ate a pizza and said, "Although the pizza is not well made, it's delicious." She paused and said, "But you can't eat it, so you just watcheat it. This is Daddy's favorite pizza." After saying that, she bowed her head and finished the pizza in silence.
Her body warmed up after eating the pizza. A moment later, she patted the snow on her clothes and got up." Mommy, Daddy, | don't have a family again." Scarlett's voice was very soft as if her words could dissipate when the wind blew over.
Across the stranger's tombstone, Raymond stood behind her and heard what Scarlett said. He suddenly felt his heart was broken.
The cold wind made him cold and painful at that moment.
