Chapitre 472: She's Not A Threat!

Martha narrowed her eyes at Scarlett before she asked, "Scarlett, why did Xander come back here so fast?" Martha asked.

Instantly, Scarlett froze. She hadn't told Martha about her miscarriage.

"Aunty... Actually, I..." Scarlett paused, struggling to find the words. She could only meet Aunty Martha's gaze with a mixture of confusion and worry, which deepened Martha's confusion.

"My dear... what's going on?" Martha tightened her grip on Scarlett's hand. "Something must have happened. Please, tell me. I might be able to help..."

Scarlett hesitated, finding it difficult to put her thoughts into words. She was aware of how much anticipation Aunty Martha and Grandpa Riley had for her child. But now she is no longer pregnant.

Martha's expression suddenly stiffened as a thought crossed her mind. "Oh my goodness, did you and Xander have a fight? Is that why he returned here earlier than planned?"
