Scarlett knew that Emily would be upset. Despite knowing that Emily would scold her, she had no choice but to explain everything truthfully and hope for the best. After her explanation, Scarlett added, "Emily, I promise that after Jonathan and I get married in the next few days, we'll move out. Okay? Just for tonight, Jonathan will sleep in my room, and I'll sleep with you."She'd thought that Emily would yell at her, but Emily didn't react like that and simply said unhappily, "How could Nancy be so hot-tempered? She really hasn't changed at all."Hearing this made Scarlett suspect that Emily knew Nancy from before, and she asked, "Emily, it seems like you know Nancy quite well. Do you know her?"Emily obviously wasn't going to explain anything to Scarlett and simply changed the topic. "It has nothing to do with you. You should worry about your relationship with Jonathan instead! Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't let that old hag bully you! Go to city hall to sign the marr

Scarlett immediately comforted him. "That's alright! Buying a house here is expensive, and not many people can even afford a small house, much less pay the full amount like you can. It's already very good that you can afford a small house in Atville without relying on your parents. I'm sure our neighbors would envy us!"Jonathan had been quite worried before, but seeing how happy Scarlett was lifted his spirits as well. She was so easy to please, but though she didn't care for material things, as a husband, Jonathan couldn't let her suffer.Judging by Jonathan's tone and behavior, Scarlett could tell that she and Jonathan had very different expectations about things. Scarlett was used to living in small houses, while Jonathan had grown up rich and lived in mansions. Of course, it would be a challenge for him to move into a small house. As such, she understood why living in a small house bothered Jonathan. It was already getting quite late, and there was no use searching for houses

However, they didn't expect to see their stern and confident boss being fed by an ordinary girl. This shocked them as it seemed completely unimaginable. It appeared that it was true that even the hardest of hearts would soften at the touch of a beloved. The women stood by the glass door with their mouths agape. After exchanging a few glances, they couldn't control their curiosity and pushed open the door. They stared and nudged one another, unsure who should take the initiative to ask the question first. Finally, one of the women who had gotten drunk with him once asked boldly, "Mr. Leonard, is this your girlfriend? Or your wife? How come we've never seen her before?" As soon as she asked the question, the other three women looked at him wide-eyed, anticipating his answer. Jonathan didn't evade the question and answered honestly, "She will be my wife in a few weeks." Even Scarlett was shocked to hear this. She was unaware that they would marry in a few weeks. When did he decide w

Initially, she thought he would agree, but he shook his head and said, "I'm busy tomorrow. I have an important deadline, and it's almost due." Scarlett couldn't help but feel disappointed to hear this. Although she knew he always prioritized work, she also felt very bored. They weren't like an engaged couple at all. There were no feelings between them. The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt. She couldn't help but pout and say, "Can't you go out with me for just one day? We've known each other for so long, but we've never gone out together. Can't we do it once, now that we're about to get married?"Although she was complaining, she controlled her tone to make sure he did not feel like she was making a fuss for no reason. She only expressed a hint of frustration as she knew Jonathan was more receptive to gentle coaxing than force. Making a scene wouldn't work with him. Upon hearing her upset tone, Jonathan gave in and asked, "So, you want to go shopping?" Scarlett

Hearing these words, Jonathan glanced at her with a glint of annoyance in his eyes. It seemed he didn't appreciate her prying into such matters. Scarlett quickly clarified, "Please don't get me wrong. I'm not being nosy. I'm just curious. After all, you almost married her."Jonathan remained silent as he nodded. Scarlett felt uneasy at his reaction. His nod suggested that he had feelings for Melissa before. She always thought he was a reserved man who would never develop feelings for another woman. Although it made her uncomfortable, she pressed on, "You had feelings for her, but did she have feelings for you?" He seemed to be in deep thought for a moment. Eventually, he replied, "No." Only then did Scarlett realize what a lovesick puppy he could be. Her imagination ran wild as she pictured how Jonathan was deeply in love with Melissa and how she didn't reciprocate his feelings. Moreover, Melissa might even have resented the pressure her family gave to marry him, so she fled to
