Scarlett slowly raised her head and looked at Carter with a confused expression.
"Young master, why are you looking at me like that?" Scarlett smiled even though she was confused by his serious expression. "...Is there something you want to talk about?"
Scarlett's question made Walter Riley and Martha look at Carter, making them curious too.
After a seemingly long silence, Carter said, "Sister Scarlett, I want to ask you something about the contract..."
"Carter Riley, how impolite are you? Don't bring work to the dinner table!!" Walter Riley gave Carter a displeased look. "You can ask your sister after dinner!" He cleared his throat slightly and then continued eating.
It's not just Walter who looks annoyed at Carter but also Martha.
Carter opened his mouth, but no words came out from his lips. He was utterly speechless. Since when did that rule exist in their house?
Happy reading all. And, once again, thank you Aurelly_one :-)
