Flirting With My Ex-husband
Chapter 490

Mrs. Tucker felt embarrassed. She wiped her eyes and said, "Ms. Reed, please forgive me. I'm old and wordy." Linley said, "Mom."

Mrs. Tucker said, "I will get out of your hair and go to cook lunch. Ms. Reed, would you like to have lunch with us?"

Scarlett looked up at Mrs. Tucker and said with a smile, "I would love to."

Hearing that, Mrs. Tucker became happy like a kid and said, "Make yourself at home.

I will go to cook lunch."

Mrs. Tucker went to the kitchen and started to cut vegetables soon.

Linley said, "Scarlett, you're as beautiful as before."

Scarlett compressed her lips and said," You're as cute as before."

Although they were classmates, they were not on intimate terms with each other. If Linley hadn't told Scarlett that Darnell planned to hurt her, Scarlett wouldn't have remembered what Linley looked like after so many years.

The atmosphere became frigid.

After graduation, Linley went hometown and worked in a local bank. She lived a mundane life those two years.

But she married the wrong man later. What was worse, some people liked talking about gossip. She had never forgotten what had happened that year and thus she suffered from severe depression. Scarlett thought about it and said, "I come here to see you suddenly because I need your help."

Linley said, "Scarlett, I'm sorry. I can't help you in such a condition."

Scarlett looked at her and smiled faintly," Believe yourself. You once entered the cartoon contest in the university and came second."

Being a cartoonist was Linley's dream all the time, but her dream had been ruined by reality already. Even her life had been ruined, let alone her dream.

Noticing that Linley kept silent, Scarlett said with a smile, "I don't know if you have paid attention to my news. I have an entertainment company. Sometimes I will invest in some copyrights. I have invested a novel named Lost Youth with a friend this year."

Hearing that, Linley blinked and said, "I have read the novel. I like it very much."

Scarlett said, "We have adapted the novel for the screen and started the shooting, but we also want to adapt it for the cartoon. My friend and I have been looking for cartoonists recently, but we haven't found suitable ones yet."

Scarlett paused and added," I went back to our alma mater few days ago. When I passed by the bulletin board, I remembered that you entered the cartoon contest in the university and came second. At that time, the university used half of the bulletin board to publicize it. Your style was suitable for Lost Youth. Now that you have read the novel, I believe that you have your own opinions about the hero and the heroine. I would like to invite you to be the main cartoonist."

"I know that you maybe unwilling."

After Scarlett finished speaking, Linley covered her face and burst into tears suddenly.

Linley said, "Scarlett, I'm in bad condition now. It's true. I don't know why I have become like that."

Scarlett mentioned Linley's dream and her past. Linley felt as if she had come back to life.

However, she was really in bad condition.

Suddenly, her hands felt warm. She was surprised and saw Scarlett prise her fingers one by one. Scarlett picked up a napkin and wiped tears for Linley little by little. It was Linley's first time to feel that the world was so warm.

During the past six months, Linley had thought many times that she shouldn't have lived in the world.

Scarlett asked, "Linley, what can I do for you?"

Linley heard Scarlett's gentle voice and looked at Scarlett's fair and beautiful face. Linley said, "Scarlett, I'm sick. It's serious."

Scarlett said, "Don't worry. I will replace the best doctor for you."

Linley said, "It's useless, Scarlett. They won't let me off! They're unwilling to let me off, Scarlett!"

Scarlett asked, "Who are they?"

Linley didn't reply to the question but shouted suddenly. It seemed that she had been stimulated and was out of mind. She shed tears and asked them not to come

close to her.

Mrs. Tucker heard the noises and rushed to Linley. She hugged Linley tightly and said," Linley, I beg you. Don't be like that! I beg you!"

Scarlett saw the scene and felt depressive as if she was floating in an ocean of sadness.
