Chapter 3 Scarlett lugged her suitcase to Susan Croft's abode , her good friend . Knocking lightly on the door , she raised her hand and waited quietly at the side . Susan and she had been inseparable since they were both orphans , having grown up together in an orphanage and forming a bond as close as sisters . She remembered that when she was picked up by Sebastian , Susan said to her , " Scarlett , if he doesn't want you in the future , remember to come back home . " Scarlett's words gave her the courage to not yearn for Sebastian's house . As soon as Susan opened the door , her mouth curved into a smile , her lips curling up in recognition . " Scarlett , why are you here ? " Scarlett tightened her grip on the suitcase and said with some embarrassment , " Susan , I'm here to seek shelter with you . " Only then did Susan see the suitcase in her hand . The smile on her face froze instantly . " What happened ? " " I split up with him ," Scarlett said with a smile as if nothing had happened . Susan was taken aback for a moment , her gaze fixed on Scarlett , who was attempting to put on a smile . Her face , small enough to fit in the palm of her hand , was thin and pale . Her body was so frail that it was as if it were a sheet of paper . Seeing Scarlett like this , Susan suddenly felt very distressed . " Don't be sad . I am here for you ." Upon hearing this , Scarlett was moved to tears . She hugged Susan back and patted her back . " I'm fine . Don't worry . " Susan realized she was merely comforting herself . She had seen how much Scarlett loved Sebastian . For the past five years , Scarlett has worked diligently to acquire a million dollars to return to Sebastian . She had foolishly believed that this would allan's opinion of her . In the end , Sebastian had mercilessly abandoned her . Susan abruptly recalled the rainy night from five years prior .

Scarlett did not want Susan to be sad for her . After gently pushing her away , she smiled gently at her . " Do you not want to take me in or not ? I am about to freeze to death ! " Upon seeing that Scarlett was still as strong as ever , Susan gradually relaxed . She believed that Scarlett would soon be fine , as it was a common occurrence for orphans like them to be abandoned . As long as they could survive , it was of no great consequence . Thinking of this , Susan felt a little better. She took Scarlett's suitcase and pulled her into the house . " Don't be silly . This is your home . You can stay as long as you want ! " After that , she turned around and took a clean set of pajamas , and handed it to Scarlett . " Go take a shower first . I'll make something delicious for you and then you have a good sleep . Don't think about anything else . Do you understand ? " Scarlett nodded obediently as she took the pajamas . Susan was always a beacon of light , radiating warmth throughout her life . It was a pity that her heart was already failing , soon to take her life . If Susan knew that she was about to leave this world , she would probably cry . She didn't want someone so gentle and kind to cry . She looked at the busy figure in the kitchen and slowly walked over . " Susan , I want to quit my job . " Susan nodded agreement . It's time for you to have a rest . These years , in order to earn some extra money , you have been working really too hard Quit your job , and I will be the breadwinner in the future !
