Chapter 409
As Melvin and Sarah were talking, Steven and Scarlett returned, both with flushed faces. Sarah looked at them
meaningfully, "So, what's going on here?"
Steven made no attempt to hide it. He took Scarlett's hand and announced, "Miss Sanders, Scarlett and | are
together now."
"Together? That was quick!" Sarah teased.
They'd been gone for less than half an hour - how had they beca couple so quickly?
Sarah looked at Scarlett with sconcern. She worried about Scarlett getting hurt.
After all, Scarlett was so innocent, and though Sarah had interacted with Steven, she didn't know him well
enough to be certain about his character.
Scarlett shyly moved to Sarah's side and obediently picked up the bowl of soup to drink, but Steven stopped her.
"It's cold now. I'll make you a fresh bowl."
Steven took the bowl away. Scarlett turned to Sarah with an embarrassed smile, "Just now..."
Half an hour earlier, Steven had cornered her.
"Why are you afraid of that?"
She shook her head vigorously and said, "If I like you and you don't likeback, wouldn't that be pitiful? To be
safe, | should keep my distance."

As soon as she finished speaking, Steven started laughing.
"Silly," he said, placing his hand on her head.
"Why don't we try being together?" Steven had suggested, and somehow Scarlett found herself agreeing.
Listening to her happily recount what had just happened, Sarah felt genuinely happy for her.
Charlotte kept crying out in pain at the hospital, with Mrs. Chancer and James by her bedside, while the police
officers who had cto arrest her stood guard outside the room.
They couldn't force her to leave since she was indeed pregnant.
Charlotte clutched James's hand. "James, it hurts so much!"
"Charlotte, the doctor said there's nothing wrong," James said, puzzled.
He had asked the doctor three times in their office, afraid of missing something. But after a complete
examination, they hadn't found anything abnormal. The doctor couldn't determine what was causing Charlotte's
pain, despite questioning.
Mrs. Chancer chimed in, "You've never been pregnant, how would you know? | have experience - being pregnant
is complicated. It's normal to feel stomach pain frequently.”
"Of course! At such a critical time, we
absolutely cannot let Charlatig goto
prison. The ponditions there are so
hed = James, aren't you worried at
all? She's carrying your child!" The

James looked at his mother as if he didn't recognize her. "So because of this, you forced Lucy to take the blame?"
Mrs. Chancer replied awkwardly,
"James, don't put it that way. Our
family has paid so ue) to-ctearn up

het to repay us. Besides, when | used
to spoil her, don't you remember

"Mom! Don't forget, Lucy is your child too," James said disapprovingly.
“I know, but don't forget, everything I've done has been for you," Mrs. Chancer said coldly.
She couldn't understand why James would let them arrest Charlotte.
"Mom, don't blJames. It's all my
fault. | was too cowardly to admit my
own mistakes, which led to Mia being
arrested. It's paral Vamed to be
UBhEDPY od dislike me. And Lucy
really is innocent - she must be
suffering in the psychiatric hospital
these past few days. It's all my fault."
