Dressed in a black, backless dress and carrying a branded bag. Susan sat on the sofa in the living
room, taking in her surroundings in the villa Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Seeing Scarlett coming down from the spiral escalator, she quickly rose from the sofa, intent on
greeting her, yet Scarlett was one step ahrad.
“Take it easy, watch your step to avoid tripping”
After Susan supported her, she gently touched her short hair, “You used to have long locks, but now
you’ve gone for a shorter style – it’s much more lively!”
Scarlett felt a tinge of bitterness in her heart, but she kept it hidden from Susan. “Back then, I was
always ill and frail. Now, my spirit is better.”
Susan smiled happily. It’s good that you can consider it this way.”
“Susan, have you eaten breakfast yet? Scarlett said with a smile.
Susan nodded and said, “Yes, I have ”
After she finished speaking, she glanced around and inquired of Scarlett, “Where is Mr. Weber?”
Scarlett raised her head and looked upstairs. “He’s in the room”
Before Susan had a chance to grasp the situation, Scarlett had already dragged her out of the garden.
“Is Travis suffering from schizophrenia?”
Scarlett nodded and, motioning for her to sit, pulled her onto the small sofa,
The maid swiftly brought coffee and dessert and set them before Susan.
After Susan thanked the maid, she asked Scarlett in confusion, “Tell me more about him.”
Scarlett grabbed the spoon and scooped a tiny portion of the cake. She put it in front of Susan and
declared, “He doesn’t confess his love for my sister.”
After eating the cake, Susan pursed her lips and gave a satisfied smile.
Scarlett’s face tightened slightly, and a hint of bitterness crept onto the edges of her mouth. “Susan, I
want to return to England
Susan, who had just savored the cake, suddenly lost her appetite when she heard this. “Why?”
Hadn’t she said she’d always be there for her in the future? So why did she decide to leave so quickly?
“Travis declared that I would either accompany him back to England or remain to act as my sister’s
stand-in.”
“You know, I used to be someone else’s stand-in. I know precisely what it means.”
When Scarlett spoke, her eyes were slightly red, as if recalling a painful past.
When Susan saw her like this, her eyes could not help but become teary. “Scarlett, I’m sorry…….
It was not easy for a man to be infatuated with her, yet he lost all his memories.
Falling in love with someone else was not easy for her, yet he had used her as a substitute.
How could she have encountered an abnormal individual like Travis?
She rose and took a seat beside Scarlett. She opened her arms and embraced her. “Scarlett, is there
anything I can do for you?”
Scarlett shook her head lightly. “You don’t need to fret. He promised that if I accompany him back to
England, he won’t make me take Rebecca’s place.”
When Susan heard this, she understood, “So you have decided to go back to England with him?”
Scarlett still shook her head. “Susan, I can’t stand the thought of parting from you.”
Susan grabbed her hand and said, “Shall I take you to get away?”
Scarlett glanced up at the man on the second story, who was standing in front of the window gazing at
her. “Do you reckon he’ll let me get away**
Susun followed her line of sight and looked at Travis. She suddenly felt very unfortunate. “Oh, no!”
Scarlett nodded in agreement, her mind racing to find a way out of the situation.
As she pondered this, Susan abruptly declared to Scarlett, “Why don’t I accompany you to England…
