Chapter 14
“What does Miss Blaze mean by that?” Mr. Jonathan asked her frowning.
“My words are self explanatory, do you want me to spell it out?” Scarlett chuckled as she took a sip from her coffee.
“Miss, do you know how dangerous your words are?” Detective Jonathan looked at her sternly.
“I’m just reminding you guys to do you job better and stop looking for a murderer that did the right thing” She responded coldly.
“Miss Blaze, shouldn’t say things like this easily” Detective Jonathan reminded calmly.
“Well thank you for your concern. Since you are done with the questions please leave and take the coffee with you. It’s a disposable cup” She gave them a quit notice.
“Thank you for your cooperation” The two officers nodded at her and left the house.
Scarlett watched them leaving and shut the door.
“What a hassle” She sneered and walked in to wash up and continue her sleep.
Jonathan and his assistant Ciara returned to the car but didn’t drive out immediately.
“Sir, is there a problem?” Ciara who is a rookie detective asked him.
She was confused because he looked like he is thinking of something important.
“What did you notice about her?” Jonathan turned to Ciara and asked her.
“She is innocent and straight forward” Ciara hesitated not sure of her answer.
“She is indeed innocent but that’s not the problem now.” Jonathan replied.
“Then what’s the problem?” Ciara raised her brows and asked.
“She never answered any of my questions!” Jonathan stated.
“Huh?”
“She only said what she wants to say and not what we want to hear.
Her eyes were indifferent, no shock after hearing the murder, No anger when reporting Mr. Damien and No Hatred when talking about Mr. Bills” Jonathan analyzed and told the newbie everything letting her learn more.
“So what does it mean?” Ciara asked him.
“I too don’t know. Let’s go back and watch the CCTV, there might be something there for us to find” He said and drove the car out of the place.
When Scarlett opened her eyes it was already 5 pm and that’s when she realized that the kids and Lisa would soon come home.
Reluctantly she got down from the bed and went to make dinner in the kitchen before they returned.
Just as she finished, the door bell rang.
“Welcome back” She walked over to the door only to see a strange face.
“Sorry for coming again but I’m curious and that’s why I came at this hour” Jonathan had a kind smile on his face
“Detective Jonathan, I don’t know why you came back but you should go back. My kids are very repulsive to strangers and it will be really bad if they see you here” She showed him the exit.
Obviously she didn’t welcome him here at all
“Can I talk your husband?” Mr. Jonathan suddenly asked.
Scarlett was speechless for a while, she took a step back and crossed her hand around her chest.
“You should do your background check before coming. I am a single mother who is serious about designing and making cakes. If you are here to mock me and remind me that I am a single mother then leave;” She sneered at him and stated bluntly.
“Miss Scarlett went to the wedding in your Baker’s uniform, changed to a Waiter’s uniform, then changed to a wedding dress and finally came out in a blue gown. I’m just curious as why and how you changed into so many dresses you just had to be a Baker” Detective Jonathan ignored her words and said his instead while stating his suspicions clearly
He has gone to see the CCTV cameras and he couldn’t just ignore small details like that.
He wanted to hold it in but his instinct as a detective couldn’t make him do that.
That’s why he is finally here.
But even after his questions, The lady in front of him didn’t change her expression at all.
Her face had no wave no matter how he looked at her.
Her eyes were only displeased with him and it was as if she had no idea of what he is talking about but he is sure that there is more to this.
“Oh? I indeed changed into a lot of dress. The chef’s Uniform got stained and I borrowed one from a waitress. I was forced to put on a wedding dress and got married to a stranger, I still haven’t gotten justice for that” She paused and then continued,
“I changed into a blue dres to escape from Mr. Damien, and that’s the dress I originally came with it” She answered effortlessly as there wasn’t even a little hole or mistakes in her words.
“But…”
“Mummy!” A childish voice sounded as Scarlett looked past Detective Jonathan.
Her expressionless face was finally full of smiles and tenderness.
With a push Mr. Jonathan was pushed out of the door.
“My Babies!” Scarlett squatted and hugged Delanie who jumped into her arms.
She kissed her several times and finally raised her head to look at Lisa and Dillan who stood quietly at her side.
“Honey, come over let mom give you a kiss” She beckoned to Dillan who walked over slowly and stopped in front of her.
Scarlett hugged him and with her other arm and kissed his face several times.
“Wow! You guys seemed to have had so much fun!” She smiled tenderly totally forgetting that she had an unwanted visito.
“Let’s go in, it’s cold outside” Scarlett stood up and suddenly glanced at Jonathan that stood by the side.
“Lisa, take them in first. I will send the guest out” She said to Lisa who glanced at Jonathan slightly before nodding.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Ok, Dillan and Delanie let’s go in. Mummy had a guest” Lisa took the two kids and led them inside.
“Mr. Jonathan can now leave, I won’t answer anymore question from you. And please don’t come here again” Scarlett warned him coldly and banged the door in front of him.
After that she went back in and served the dinner while listening to their Stories about Amusement park.
After a long time she finally sent them to bed, leaving only her and Lisa
“Ok, I know that there is a lot in the plates right now, but why did Detective Jonathan appear here?” Lisa raised her brows while facing Scarlett.
“You know him?!” Scarlett went to the wine cellar and took out a bottle of wine.
“Are you so frustrated that you have to drink?” Lisa glared at her and immediately snatched the wine from her.
“Not frustrated but tired,” She found a place to sit down and cupped her face, “As for him, he came here to ask questions about the murder” Scarlett told her what transpired between them.
“Detective Jonathan is a nightmare, Him and Detective Henry are nightmares. Fortunately Is Mr. Jonathan that came and not Henry” Lisa sighed feeling relieved.
“Why?”
“Because Henry is rumored to be amongst the special military team and Jonathan is his younger brother!” Lisa blurted out.
“What? Do you mean..”
“Yes! The Military team that has always been your opponent and Nightmare! So let’s avoid them at all cost!”
