Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1316

"A well-managed home, huh? Yet, while you talk about wisdom, you can't seem to take your eyes off Chandler," Helen thought.

She lowered her gaze, a slight smirk playing at her lips.

How shameless. Even with Chandler married, Scarlett dared to pursue him.

Since Scarlett clearly had no sense of boundaries, Helen saw no reason to be cordial. If Scarlett wanted to go after Chandler, she would face repercussions.

"Well, I guess we'll be depending on you from now on, Ms. Baird," Helen said, choosing to allow Scarlett to stay.

Chandler looked over in shock, his brow furrowing in frustration. His expression seemed to convey, "Can't you see she's here to cause trouble at my mom's request?"

Helen responded with an even brighter smile, leaving him completely bewildered.

The longer Chandler stared at her, the more uneasy he felt. Was it possible that Helen had turned her affections to Otto, completely forgetting about him?

What woman could bear to have someone in her home who gazed at her husband with such admiration?

It had to be true.

The more Chandler thought about it, the angrier he became. Suddenly, he stood up and declared, "I'm not hungry; you all go ahead."

With that, he kicked his chair aside and stormed upstairs.

Chandler usually ate very little, so Helen assumed he genuinely wasn't hungry. As she continued eating, she plotted ways to make Scarlett's stay as "interesting" as possible.

…

The day flew by, and Chandler remained in his study the entire time. Helen didn't dare disturb him while he was working, so she held back from seeking him out.

What was he even upset about in the first place?

Chandler couldn't quite remember.

"Forget it," he thought. "What really matters is having dinner with my wife!"

As they entered the dining room, they found Scarlett "dutifully" attending to her tasks, with her main focus clearly on serving Chandler.

"Mr. Newton," she said, placing a bowl in front of him. "I made this lentil soup just for you. It's excellent for relieving heat and fatigue after a long day—perfect for someone who's been working hard."

Without glancing up, Chandler replied flatly, "I don't like lentils."

Scarlett chuckled softly. "These lentils are specially imported, and their flavor and texture are top-notch. You can trust me."
