Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 372

Scarlett lowered her eyes, unable to look at him. "Let's just pretend nothing happened between us. It was all a misunderstanding..."

Steven laughed coldly. "A misunderstanding? You call that a misunderstanding? You're really making me angry now."

Scarlett cringed internally - was he acting out some cheesy romance drama?

"You're overacting."

"Break up with him immediately," Steven said coldly. "I remember everything from that night perfectly. You need to take responsibility!"

Scarlett stared at Steven's face, slightly dazed. She asked calmly but firmly, "So why are you really here? Just to tell me to break up?"

"..." Perhaps it was her determined gaze, but Steven found himself at a loss for words.

Of course, he hadn't come just to tell Scarlett to break up - he wanted to suggest they give things a try.

But why couldn't he muster the courage to say so?

Scarlett pressed on, "Or do you want to be with me? Do you actually like me? Or are you just here playing the responsible guy because we slept together?"

Steven remained silent, unsure himself of his true motives.

Scarlett looked away disappointedly, pushing his hand aside. "I need to rest."

She walked inside without looking back, leaving Steven standing there lost in thought.

Perhaps he had acted impulsively today, but when facing Scarlett, he still hesitated.

It's not traffic lights that cause problems - it's hesitation.

The day before the charity auction, Sarah waited for Melvin to come home.

“Melvin, take me with you to the auction."

Melvin was surprised. Sarah had never shown interest in company matters before.

Melvin, though worried, kept his concern off his face as he whispered, "Sarah, are you sure about setting such a high price?"

Sarah nodded, speaking softly, "Of course. If anything, I think it's too low. Mr. Anderson will understand."

"Sarah, I trust your judgment on this," Melvin gave his sister a reassuring look.

She was dressed elegantly but simply today in a cream-colored dress, adorned only with a tasteful necklace from Louis Vuitton's latest collection.

A platinum watch graced her wrist, lending an air of sophistication.

Since this was both Mr. Anderson's birthday celebration and a charity auction, it wouldn't be appropriate to dress too flashily and overshadow the occasion.

The ballroom was already set up with numerous dining tables, with the auction stage prominently positioned at the front.

After she and Melvin took their seats, she spotted James and Charlotte.
