Chapter 218

Scarlett’s POV: “You…” My brows furrowed. I almost asked, What about James? But I held back. Fate was unpredictable. If Eleanor and Bruce truly developed something, it only meant that James and Eleanor’s childhood friendship was destined not to blossom into romance. I was better off staying out of it and letting things take their natural course. After lunch, I felt drowsy. Everett noticed my sleepiness and proactively suggested that I take a nap. I instructed Nancy to prepare a guest room for him. Nancy had the staff make the necessary arrangements and personally escorted Everett there. Eleanor didn’t have the habit of napping; she stayed on the sofa playing games with her friends. I returned to my room, rinsed my mouth, changed into a nightgown, and lay down to rest. Lately, I’d been unusually sleepy—spending a lot of time sleeping each day yet always feeling like it wasn’t enough. Especially after eating, the drowsiness would hit me suddenly. My life lately was practically pig-like.
