On this side,
Scarlett Jennings eventually decided to temporarily place Sophie Harper at the Chalmers Family.
Fortunately, she was indeed injured this time and didn’t come out after entering the Gathering Shadow Array drawn by Scarlett Jennings in the corner of the study.
Araminta Gold tilted her head and watched the array from the outside for quite a while, finally turned away in boredom and tucked herself back into Samuel Chalmers’ pocket.
Samuel Chalmers saw she was done and wanted to continue the previous topic with her, but just then the steward came over, a hint of regret on his face,
"Miss Scarlett... Donovan Jennings has come to pick you up."
Scarlett Jennings was taken aback and instinctively glanced at the clock on the wall, only to realize that in that brief moment, time had almost reached eleven o’clock.
For Donovan Jennings, who always required Scarlett Jennings to be home by ten, this extra half hour was probably the limit.
She went downstairs with Samuel Chalmers, and they both saw Donovan Jennings sitting in the living room at a glance. He was dressed in casual sports attire, looking at Scarlett Jennings with a smile in his eyes, his voice warm and pleasant,
"I was passing by for a night run, heard you were here, so I came by to pick you up."
As he spoke, he turned to Samuel Chalmers, his voice slightly cool,
"It’s almost eleven, didn’t the young Chalmers have anything else to do?"
Samuel Chalmers: ...
"No," Samuel Chalmers said, then turned directly to Scarlett Jennings, "Get some rest early."
Scarlett Jennings nodded, was about to say something, but Donovan Jennings promptly pulled her towards the door.
Scarlett Jennings turned back to wave at Samuel Chalmers, then followed Donovan Jennings to the door, suddenly remembering something, she let go of Donovan Jennings and quickly ran back,
"I really like this gift, I want to name it North Spirit Stone, what do you think?"
North, as in Samuel Chalmers’ North.
Samuel Chalmers’ dark eyes moved slightly, looking at Scarlett Jennings in front of him, then his brows gently curved, his voice very soft,
"Alright."
Scarlett Jennings smiled, then finally left the Chalmers Family with Donovan Jennings.
As they walked back, in the distance, Samuel Chalmers still heard Donovan Jennings ask,
"What Spirit Stone?"
Scarlett Jennings replied, "The gift Samuel Chalmers gave me."
"Can I see it?"
Scarlett Jennings opened the box containing the pendant for him to take a look.
Donovan Jennings glanced at it briefly, then said indifferently, "Nothing particularly special."
Just a somewhat attractive stone?
"It’s very special," Scarlett Jennings explained, her expression serious. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Donovan Jennings didn’t argue with her, following her lead he added,
"Even if you have established a relationship, don’t stay too late at others’ places, it’s impolite."
He paused, then mumbled in addition, "Also easy to get taken advantage of."
Scarlett Jennings seemed to catch the underlying message in Donovan Jennings’ words and just said, "I won’t."
If it comes down to it, she feels Samuel Chalmers has been taken advantage of more in her case~
Conversing as they walked, soon they were back at the Jennings Family.
Fortunately Chase Jennings hadn’t thoughtlessly come to block her again, or else...
She might consider locking him back in the doll.
Although Azura Loomis’ original doll had already been destroyed, there are plenty of places that can incarcerate a living soul.
For example...
She feels the robotic vacuum on the first floor would be quite suitable.
Pushing Chase Jennings’ matters aside, Scarlett Jennings attempted to set up a searching array.
