Julian Rhodes returned to the room, and Scarlett Xavier was already back. She was standing on the bed, folding the quilt, and when she saw him come in, her gaze fell on him.
Julian asked, "Where's Nina?"
"Aunt is accompanying her for a bath." Scarlett looked at Julian, "What were you talking about with Mom?"
"Nothing much." Julian came over and sat down on the sofa by the bed.
Scarlett said, "You talked about Vivian Bell, right?"
Julian said, "My wife is really smart."
Scarlett sat down on the bed, looking at Julian, and said, "Is it hard to guess? What Mom cares about the most right now should be this, right?"
Julian said to Scarlett, "That's how it is between people. Before understanding each other, you can't expect everyone to understand everyone else. You and Vivian are very good friends, so naturally, you're partial to her, but for Mom, she's just a stranger. That's why she can't quite accept that my brother is with her."
