淑女的欲望

"It's okay! Now, drive fast. I can't stand sitting in this car!!" She wants to get her ass out of this car.

Carter tried to calm down briefly before starting the car engine. He was driving the car at average speed, unlike before.

"Scarlett, I'm sorry. Earlier, I was too shocked to hear what you said, and I accidentally hit the brakes!" Carter blamed himself because he was too surprised to hear her sweetness toward his brother.

Carter felt envious of his older brother, who had a wife like Scarlett. He hoped that one day, he would get a beautiful, smart, not spoiled, and independent woman like Scarlett.

Thus, he didn't need to convince his grandfather and mother to accept his lover. They definitely liked women like that. This should be like when they welcomed Scarlett even though her brother married Scarlett without telling them.

Seeing his elder brother married somehow made him start to think that way. He also wants to have a family too.

But unfortunately, there isn't a single woman currently close to him that meets the criteria for his future wife. Especially now that his standard has been higher —  he wants someone with personality and success like his sister-in-law!

Looks like his dream of getting married young will last even longer!

Sigh!

...

Soon their car arrived at the Riley Mansion.

Scarlett was rushingly exiting the car when Logan opened the car's door for her.

"Thank You!" Scarlett's deep gaze went straight into Logan's eyes. She's still annoyed that Logan didn't follow her orders. Instead, he followed Carter!

"You should have told me before you left, Logan!" Scarlett said casually, but it sounded like a scolding in Logan's ear.

"Sorry..." Logan lowered his head slowly, "I'll remember it, Ma'am!" Logan's apologetic tone was enough to make Scarlett soften a bit. She no longer minded and walked into the house.

As for Logan, he was secretly cursing Carter in his heart for forcing him to go alone without telling Scarlett!

'Damn you, Carter!! You, wait... I'm going to get my revenge soon!' He inwardly swore as he followed Scarlett and Carter into the house.

When Scarlett entered the house, Martha Bell awaited her in the warm living room. She can see various snacks on the coffee table and a tea set.

"Scarlett, you're coming..." Martha's smile grew wider as she stood up to greet Scarlett. She ignored her only son and dragged Scarlett beside her on the two-seater sofa.

Carter was speechless!

Usually, his mother warmly welcomed him with hugs whenever he came home, but now her eyes only focused on Scarlett.

He didn't know whether to be sad or happy. Because his mother really liked Scarlett as part of their family, just like him. He started to think of Scarlett as his real big sister.

"Mom, I'm here too!" Carter said, but of course, Martha ignored him.

Martha only looked at Scarlett.  And for some reason, Martha feels that there is a resemblance between Scarlett and her best friend, who suddenly disappeared 24 years ago. That's why every time Martha saw Scarlett, she immediately felt happy.

"Scarlett, you must be thirsty right? Let me make you some tea..." Martha said and skillfully made tea for Scarlett. After she finished, she served her and urged her to try it.

"Thanks, Aunt..." Scarlett smiled before taking a sip of her tea.

Tea is not Scarlett's favorite drink. She prefers coffee. However, she didn't mind drinking it because she used to drink with elders like Grandpa Morrison and Rex's parents.

"Mom! How could you ignore your son after you met my sister-in-law!? You're so biased, mom!!" Carter shook his head and started making his own tea.

Martha Bell finally looked at Carter after hearing his grumble. She smiled lovingly at him. "Oh, my dear baby boy, how old are you?" Before Carter could reply, she continued, "You've grown up. You can make your own tea, right!?"

Instantly Carter froze.

"Baby Boy!? Mom, why did you call me that before my sister-in-law?" Carter wanted to say that, but seeing Scarlett looking at him with a teasing smile, he swallowed back his words.

Now, he just wanted to vanish from that room because he believed; by now, Scarlett knew his nickname. How embarrassing!

"Ha-ha-ha…" Carter awkwardly laughed before continuing, "Mom, have you forgotten? I'm the same age as my sister-in-law!"

When he saw his mother roll her eyes, he continued. "Well, I'm younger than her, but only a few months, okay!!"

"Eleven months!" said Martha.

Carter, "..."

"Well, your sister-in-law is different!" Then, with loving eyes, Martha looked at Scarlett again, "I never made tea for her. As for you? I made it for you around... a million times? Well, I guess! So now you have to do it yourself, baby!"

Carter, "..."

He was speechless. He continued to make his tea.

Seeing how cute Carter was, showing his tantrums made Scarlett couldn't help but ask, "Would you like me to make one for you, young master?"

"NO!" Carter answered quickly. He couldn't make his sister-in-law do that. If his brother found out, he would likely get another punishment.

Scarlett smiled and continued to enjoy her jasmine tea. She likes the Jasmine scents that can refresh her mind after a busy day at the office.

While Scarlett and Martha continue talking about many things, Carter feels bored. He excused himself and went to his bedroom — Even then, no one noticed he had left the living room.

It was only when Walter Riley appeared in the living room that Scarlett realized Carter was nowhere to be seen.

"Grandpa!" Scarlett stood up and greeted the old man politely. Walter was delighted to see Scarlett and asked her to sit down again.

After that, Walter Riley sat on the sofa at the end, a chair specially dedicated to him. He starts to talk with Scarlett.

"How's work? I heard from Logan you're busy with your work!?" Walter worries that this girl will get tired, especially now that Xander isn't around.

"Pretty busy, Grandpa."

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ "Scarlett, you don't have to work too hard. Let Xander do it. All you have to do here is enjoy your time..." Walter felt like he was advising his granddaughter. "You should go shopping with your aunty, Martha..."

Before Scarlett could answer, she heard Martha say, "Scarlett, what grandpa said is true. You have to take care of your health. Don't push yourself..."

Once again, she is touched by the kindness of Xander's family.
