The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 1371

Chapter 1371:

Why was Scarlette compelled to inquire directly from Iker? Was Scarlette unaware that certain matters were meant to remain confidential between partners?

That evening, Jaida approached to offer Scarlette a comforting option.

“Iker and Cathleen will be our guests for a few nights. If you find the nights too lonely, why not join Cathleen? She would enjoy your company, and you two could chat into the night,” Jaida said.

Growing up without siblings, Scarlette was unaccustomed to the dynamic of a bustling household. The prospect of sharing a room with Cathleen thrilled her, and she accepted with enthusiasm.

The plan was set. Scarlette would bunk with Cathleen, while Iker and Kenji occupied individual rooms.

Once Scarlette and Cathleen were alone, their conversation flowed without pause.

Cathleen occasionally paused to respond to messages on her phone.

After one such interruption, Cathleen resumed her engaging chat with Scarlette. Observing Cathleen’s slight distraction, Scarlette stifled a yawn and suggested, “It’s getting late, Cathleen. We should head to bed.”

Cathleen concurred and helped Scarlette settle in for the night.
