Scarlett Jennings’s movents were extrely light, like a feather brushing past, touching briefly and then retreating.
Yet Samuel Chalrs felt as though his forehead had been scalded, warmth spreading to the tip of his heart, as if ripples were suddenly stirred in a calm pool of water.
Along with it, the golden light around him... beca chaotic in an instant.
Scarlett Jennings looked at the faintly flickering golden light around him, a familiar feeling that made her gently curl her lips.
As soon as Samuel Chalrs raised his eyes, he suddenly t her slightly curved lips; instinctively, he furrowed his brow,
"Scarlett Jennings, you..."
Samuel Chalrs’s voice was slightly deep, looking at the person in front of him, seeming to want to explode, yet unable to find a reason.
He hadn’t expected her to suddenly co close.
Clearly, in his mory, she wasn’t such a proactive person...
As Samuel Chalrs thought this, a certain mory suddenly lit up in his mind.
It was when she successfully opened the passage to the Otherworld and was about to leave; it was the last ti she bid him goodbye. At that ti, she also suddenly approached and then... kissed him.
As the mory was awakened, his lips seed to clearly recall the soft and light touch from back then.
Samuel Chalrs suddenly stood up, but the golden light all around him visibly beca even more chaotic.
Scarlett Jennings saw the chaotic jumping of the golden light around him and his seemingly deepened expression; just as she was about to ask, she saw him suddenly turn around without a glance, striding away.
Scarlett Jennings was stunned, clearly not expecting such a reaction from him.
Was he... angry?
Not to ntion Scarlett Jennings, even the Dashiels who had been secretly watching couldn’t help but jump out.
"What’s going on with Brother Samuel?!"
The fiancée had made a move, yet he turned and walked away!
Does he truly not want a wife???
Dashiel couldn’t understand, and neither could the little papern.
It was only Shellback pretending to be profound,
[According to analysis from my system’s database, Samuel Chalrs’s reaction just now clearly indicated he was angry.]
Its voice was inaudible to Dashiel and the little papern, but Scarlett Jennings could hear it.
Hearing the system reach the sa conclusion as her, Scarlett Jennings thought to herself, it was indeed so.
"Samuel Chalrs probably thinks... I offended him."
Scarlett Jennings could only think of this reason.
After all, aside from those mories, Samuel Chalrs now has nothing else with her.
In his eyes, she might be no different from Simon and Dashiel.
It was normal for him to feel offended.
A trace of annoyance flashed in Scarlett Jennings’s eyes, but that was all there was.
She knew her behavior just now was reckless, but she never intended to coax Samuel Chalrs with warm water from the start.
In her view, appropriate stimulation was necessary.
Moreover, she also wanted to slightly validate her speculation.
When Dashiel heard Scarlett Jennings’s reason, he was first incredulous, but upon calming down, it seed reasonable.
After all, his brother is now the National Protection Dragon Vein, and it’s indeed not appropriate to kiss the Dragon Vein carelessly.
But even so, turning away so angrily and leaving wasn’t necessary, was it?
Ah, his brother has indeed changed now.
Beco stingy.
...
Dashiel originally thought that his ticulous arrangent could at least allow Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalrs’s relationship to take off.
But judging by the current situation, it seed to have flown, but too far.
Dashiel was internally frustrated with nowhere to vent and dared not bla Brother Samuel, so he could only vent to his good friend and gaming partner.
That good friend, of course, was Lucas Jennings.
Due to Samuel Chalrs’s awakening and return, neither the Security Bureau nor any side had officially announced it to the public.
In addition, given his current special condition, Scarlett Jennings didn’t even tell the Jennings Family or the Chalrs Family.
For one, Samuel Chalrs had basically stripped himself of his status as the head of the Chalrs Family since disappearing last ti; secondly, Scarlett Jennings didn’t want the situation to beco more complicated.
Although Donovan Jennings and the grandfather knew about Samuel Chalrs’s identity, neither she nor they ever expected that the person they had waited so long for no longer acknowledged their relationship.
Scarlett Jennings wouldn’t say, and naturally, Dashiel wouldn’t dare to expose it voluntarily.
So when he vented to Lucas Jennings, he specifically emphasized that this was about a pair of new friends he made, Friend A and Friend B.
He left out so key settings and rely explained so post-reunion interactions between the two, followed by extensive venting.
After speaking, he finally felt relieved.
Then he didn’t think about it anymore and turned to rest.
Unexpectedly, the next morning, Dashiel received a call from Lucas Jennings, saying they had arrived in the Capital tropolitan.
Dashiel was dumbfounded.
Because not only Lucas Jennings ca, but also Donovan Jennings and Adam Jennings!
If it were just the two young ones, that would be fine, but Donovan Jennings actually ca!
Having lived next to the Jennings Family for so long, Dashiel naturally knew how perceptive Scarlett Jennings’s big brother was!
This brother didn’t seem like an ordinary human.
"Lucas, Brother Donovan... why did you co suddenly? Didn’t you give a heads up?"
Dashiel was still trying to laugh it off.
Lucas Jennings, however, was unceremonious, directly stepping forward to hook his neck and asking,
"Do you still ask? Honestly, is Brother Samuel back? Has he lost his mory and not recognized my sister?!"
Dashiel stared wide-eyed at Lucas Jennings,
"Who told you that?"
Lucas Jennings just stared right back at him, his expression clear—it was you.
Dashiel didn’t dare to acknowledge it, only to hear Lucas Jennings analyzing with a serious face.
"You said Friend A and Friend B are new friends you made in the Capital tropolitan, but then said that Friend B had been missing for months—there’s an obvious inconsistency!"
"Also, although your story is dramatic, both the tiline and the storyline closely match my sister and Brother Samuel’s circumstances!"
"Lastly! You are not the kind of demon with a big heart, how could you be so proactive in helping two friends you haven’t known for long? The only ones who can make you so proactive are my sister and Brother Samuel!"
Lucas Jennings logically and clearly argued, leaving Dashiel speechless, finally adding placidly,
"Above, all analyzed by Brother Donovan."
Originally, when he heard Dashiel’s venting last night, he didn’t take it seriously; it was just a casual comnt over breakfast this morning.
He initially intended to express that it was fortunate his sister hadn’t encountered such dramatic events, or else how upsetting it would be.
Unexpectedly, so words caught Donovan Jennings’s attention; upon a closer inquiry, he directly discovered the inconsistencies.
Furthermore, he recalled that the assistant had ntioned a new neighbor living next to Scarlett Jennings, making Donovan Jennings more convinced of his speculation.
To finally confirm, he directly had the assistant arrange a special flight over,
Lucas Jennings and Adam Jennings happening to be nearby, upon hearing he was going to the Capital tropolitan to find Scarlett Jennings, insisted on tagging along, or else they would directly inform the rest of the family.
Donovan Jennings had no choice but to bring these two Jennings along.
And now, seeing Dashiel’s reaction, he knew his guess was right.
Samuel Chalrs had indeed returned.
But this Samuel Chalrs who returned was not entirely the original.
Donovan Jennings, usually with a smiling face, rarely carried a few traces of somberness and coldness as he asked Dashiel,
"Where is Samuel Chalrs now? I want to see him."
