Temptation From Her Ex-husband novel Chapter 1017

Scarlett and the others stayed in a shabby hotel to avoid the brightest sunshine. Then she got in her car and drove straight to the road in front of Kyleigh's house and stopped there.

Scarlett did not want to take Rowan there, for she thought Kyleigh might have to make some kind of scheme again after seeing them coming over.

She helped Rowan out of the car and stood by it, pointing the house to Rowan." Grandpa, the third house is the one. No one should be at home at this time. Let's not go over there."

Rowan, however, was a bit stubborn. "I want to go and see."

Scarlett had to nod. "Then I'll help you over.

Villagers came out of their houses once they saw the two cars and the line of well-dressed people that had suddenly appeared in the village.

In the countryside, villagers loved to see dramatic scenes and talk about gossip.

Someone recognized Scarlett and exclaimed, then talked to a neighbor in the dialect.

Scarlett had lived here for a while, so she understood the dialect more or less.

And the things they said about her were not good. They all said, "Gee! That's Kyleigh's ungrateful granddaughter!" "I think she’s pretty beautiful, but how can she be so heartless!" They were all saying such things. Scarlett knew without thinking that this was what Kyleigh had told the villagers about her.

Scarlett didn't want to argue with them. She just pretended she didn't understand what they were saying.

Fortunately, Rowan, who was beside Scarlett, did not ask Scarlett what they were saying. Then they soon walked to Kyleigh's house.

At this point, Kyleigh must be at home preparing to cook dinner.

As a seventy-year-old woman, Kyleigh couldn't do many things. What else could she do but grow vegetables in the yard, cook food, and wait for her son and daughter-in-law to come back to eat?

Because Kyleigh's neighbors were talking too loudly, Kyleigh heard Scarlett's name.
