Will the Aloof Billionaire Divorce Today?-Chapter 427: Pearl Simmons Arrives
He slowly lowered his head, and while she was sleeping soundly, he pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

Scarlett Yates recovered quickly.
After waking up from a coma, her body improved day by day.
Scarlett didn’t know if Matthew Saxon had spoken on her behalf, but in these past few days, dishes like boiled greens and tofu had not appeared again.
By the third day, she was able to move freely and walk on her own without anyone’s assistance.
Matthew Saxon’s original plan was to leave after the bidding ended, but because of her accident, he had to extend his stay for a few more days until she recovered and could return to A City.
Thus, Scarlett Yates stayed at the Douglas Family residence.
During this time, it was inevitable to meet Ian Douglas every day. In the presence of Matthew Saxon, Ian Douglas was friendly and approachable, looking like someone easy to get along with.
He even affectionately called her "Girl Yates."
It must be said, having a grandson skilled in acting, Ian Douglas wasn’t far behind either; anyone observing his attitude would think she was greatly favored by him.
But the truth was...
He didn’t like her at all, not even a little; in fact, he disliked her immensely.
This fact was made evident when he openly showed it during their conversation, boldly telling her that in every aspect, her qualities were poor and she didn’t deserve his sweetie grandson.
Living under the same roof and in someone else’s territory, Scarlett Yates could only join Ian Douglas in the act.
Since he was playing the role of a caring, loving grandfather, she took on the part of a well-behaved, sensible girl.
In this utter hypocrisy, they coexisted peacefully for several days.
As Scarlett Yates recovered more and more, she secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Her recovery meant she could soon leave the Douglas Family, freeing herself from living behind a mask every day.
Ian Douglas didn’t like her, and she didn’t like Ian Douglas either; he couldn’t wait for her to leave, and she was eager to get out of the Douglas Family too.
It was another bright and sunny day.
Sunlight climbed along the wooden floor beside the French window, a gentle breeze fluttered the white curtain, and outside was a bunch of blooming roses.
The air was filled with a sweet floral fragrance.
Scarlett Yates awoke at eleven o’clock, with just one hour left before lunch.
In these wealthy families, there were always many rules, and once set, they must be strictly followed, such as the timing for meals, missing which meant no food.
Breakfast was set for eight in the morning, lunch at noon, and dinner at six in the evening, unchanging every day.
Scarlett hadn’t eaten breakfast in the past few days.
She woke close to noon each day, combining two meals into one.
Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she stretched lazily and yawned, slowly heading into the bathroom.
After finishing up, she glanced at the clock and saw there was still over half an hour until lunch, so she decided to take a walk in the garden.
The Douglas Family garden was exceptionally beautiful, a true garden, with every spot filled with a wide variety of flowers, even more than in a park.
In these recent days, she didn’t know what Matthew Saxon was up to, leaving early and returning late, seemingly very busy. Scarlett only saw him just before bed each night.
