Flirting With My Ex-husband novel Chapter 1017

Scarlett and the others stayed in a shabby hotel to avoid the brightest sunshine. Then she got in her car and drove straight to the road in front of Kyleigh's house and stopped there.

Scarlett did not want to take Rowan there, for she thought Kyleigh might have to make some kind of scheme again after seeing them coming over.

She helped Rowan out of the car and stood by it, pointing the house to Rowan." Grandpa, the third house is the one. No one should be at home at this time. Let's not go over there."

Rowan, however, was a bit stubborn. "I want to go and see."

Scarlett had to nod. "Then I'll help you over.

Villagers came out of their houses once they saw the two cars and the line of well-dressed people that had suddenly appeared in the village.

In the countryside, villagers loved to see dramatic scenes and talk about gossip.

Someone recognized Scarlett and exclaimed, then talked to a neighbor in the dialect.

Scarlett had lived here for a while, so she understood the dialect more or less.

And the things they said about her were not good. They all said, "Gee! That's Kyleigh's ungrateful granddaughter!" "I think she’s pretty beautiful, but how can she be so heartless!" They were all saying such things. Scarlett knew without thinking that this was what Kyleigh had told the villagers about her.

Scarlett didn't want to argue with them. She just pretended she didn't understand what they were saying.

Fortunately, Rowan, who was beside Scarlett, did not ask Scarlett what they were saying. Then they soon walked to Kyleigh's house.

At this point, Kyleigh must be at home preparing to cook dinner.

As a seventy-year-old woman, Kyleigh couldn't do many things. What else could she do but grow vegetables in the yard, cook food, and wait for her son and daughter-in-law to come back to eat?

Because Kyleigh's neighbors were talking too loudly, Kyleigh heard Scarlett's name.

Viviana, who was beside Rowan, also spoke up. "Dad, we're here today to see where your daughter used to live. As Scarlett said, it's all in the past. You should not be sad. If you are sad, Scarlett will only be sadder."

After she said this, Rowan wiped the corners of his eyes. He calmed down a lot. He looked at Kyleigh, who was standing in front of the yard with a broom, and then his eyes turned cold all of a sudden.

Kyleigh had a guilty conscience once she saw his gaze. Her eyes dodged, and then she cursed and went back to the house.

The house had a yard. However, because the Booker family's two sons liked gambling and were lazy, and they would gamble as soon as they had a little money, and the strong wind knocked down the wall of the yard some years ago, the fence of the family's yard was still in disrepair after all these years. And the fence next to the house on both sides was more than two meters high, but the shortest fence near the door was only one meter. Therefore, one could see everything clearly in the yard when one looked at the yard.

The Booker family was so poor that they were utterly destitute. And Gormend was already doing shady business in the village. Therefore, who would dare to steal from their home? In that case, no one was willing to repair the fence.

Seeing the old house in the yard, Rowan thought that the house he lived in thirty years ago was better than it!

"Grandpa, let's go back. It's late. Otherwise, it will be too late when we go back."
