Out of Control: Into Your Everything-Chapter 76: Do You Have a Boyfriend?

Earlier, Julian Ford couldn’t hear what Scarlett Shaw and Jasper Spencer were saying during that scene.

But Jasper Spencer leaned down, almost touching Scarlett Shaw’s ear, a gesture that was extremely intimate, glaring even. But the fact that the latter showed no response, not even pushing him away, was what really bothered Julian Ford.

How long has it been since she broke up with him, and she’s already so close to another stranger?

For a moment, Julian Ford even felt that his usually infallible judgment of people had failed him with Scarlett Shaw. This woman’s mind was not as simple as he thought, and her seemingly pitiful yet stubborn demeanor was all an act.

Or perhaps, there’s another possibility that Ryan Ford was special to her, so special that she foolishly followed him for three to five years, willingly believing it was true love.

In any case, regardless of which scenario it is, it all leads to the same conclusion—

She never cared about him.

Julian Ford’s long, distinct fingers casually rested on the steering wheel, his skin pale and his joints tinged with blue. His indifferent gaze fell into the dissipating exhaust as the sports car drove away.

His expression was inscrutable.

After Scarlett Shaw arrived at the inn in Jasper Spencer’s car, she casually thanked him, checked in, and rested in her room until dinner.

The inn offered garden barbecue, and Yana Yarrow had found a seat, already picking out ingredients while waiting for her.

Scarlett Shaw walked over and sat down. As she began barbecuing with Yana Yarrow, she said, "That Jasper Spencer..."

"What’s up with me?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Scarlett Shaw’s words caught in her throat as she met Jasper Spencer’s playful smile.

Yana Yarrow was unfazed by Jasper Spencer’s appearance and continued to ask Scarlett Shaw, "What’s going on with this guy?"

"I came to bring you something."

Jasper Spencer, from who-knows-where, produced two hand warmers, handing a big black bear-shaped one to Yana Yarrow, and a cute cat-shaped one to Scarlett Shaw.

Yana Yarrow stared at Jasper Spencer in confusion, "What kind of craziness is this?"

Jasper Spencer raised an eyebrow, "It’s cold tonight, keep them."

Yana Yarrow rolled her eyes. As Jasper Spencer was grilling skewers, she whispered to Scarlett Shaw, "Did something happen while you were skiing? He’s never been so considerate, now coming out of nowhere with such kindness, he must have ulterior motives!"

Scarlett Shaw nodded in agreement.

"Looks like your matchmaking date isn’t a good guy, be careful, don’t let him trick you."

Jasper Spencer placed two freshly grilled beef skewers on a plate in front of them, smirking, "Could you two speak any louder about me?"

Scarlett Shaw, Yana Yarrow: "..."

Jasper Spencer flicked his eyes towards Scarlett Shaw, who was cautious of him, and asked casually, "Scarlett Shaw, do you have a boyfriend?"

Scarlett Shaw frowned.

Honestly, she and Jasper Spencer weren’t close, and as a matchmaking prospect for Yana Yarrow’s family, his question wasn’t just offensive to her, but disrespectful to Yana Yarrow as well.

Yana Yarrow reacted faster than Scarlett Shaw, glaring at Jasper Spencer with a sneer, "Even if she doesn’t, it’s none of your business."

Jasper Spencer ignored Yana Yarrow, focusing solely on Scarlett Shaw.

Scarlett Shaw’s fingers paused slightly as she played with the skewer, her lips moved softly, "Yes, I do."

???

Not just Jasper Spencer, but even Yana Yarrow widened her eyes.

However, the ones shocked weren’t just them but also Julian Ford and Josiah Sutton, who had just reached their table.

Julian Ford’s long stride paused for a second as his dark eyes glanced at Scarlett Shaw’s side profile, the earlobe he had pinched countless times, didn’t even turn red.

Evidently, this isn’t a lie.

Nearby, Josiah Sutton was also astonished, although he didn’t know when exactly Scarlett Shaw and Julian Ford broke up, it couldn’t be more than ten days, and this transition is seamless?

Of course, the relationship between Scarlett Shaw and Julian Ford wasn’t exactly romantic, so calling it seamless may be a bit much.

At the table, Yana Yarrow looked at Scarlett Shaw incredulously.

Scarlett Shaw winked at her.

Yana Yarrow, surprising no one, didn’t understand her intention, or rather, she was temporarily overwhelmed by the sorrow of being left out. Her close friend is in a relationship, and she wasn’t the first to know!

"Scarlett, when did you start dating, why didn’t you tell me?"

Yana Yarrow’s voice was slightly anxious.

Scarlett Shaw wanted to facepalm, how could they lack such tacit understanding?

Jasper Spencer isn’t slow-witted, upon seeing Yana Yarrow’s reaction, he immediately sensed something was off. What kind of close friend gets into a relationship without the best friend knowing?

He smiled, "Scarlett Shaw, you’re not lying, are you?"

"Is there any need for me to lie?"

Once the words are spoken, they’re like spilled water. Scarlett Shaw remained composed, anyway, she hadn’t yet told Aaron Carson about her breakup with Julian Ford, so she might as well use that fake relationship for now.

She hugged Yana Yarrow, speaking gently, "It’s been two months. It wasn’t stable earlier, not convenient to mention. When we return tomorrow, I’ll have my boyfriend treat us to dinner."

Yana Yarrow was stunned for a moment; if her memory served right, Scarlett Shaw broke up with Julian Ford only ten days ago, so she had a boyfriend two months ago?

As the saying goes, a close friend’s tolerance only requires knowing the truth, and the rest can be done blindfolded.

Besides, this scandal with Scarlett Shaw only adds insult to Julian Ford’s reputation.

Just thinking about it is exhilarating.

Yana Yarrow was seething with excitement inside.

On the other side, Julian Ford’s expression had visibly darkened, even Josiah Sutton couldn’t help but feel awkward.

Last month, Josiah Sutton went to Cloud Mansion for Scarlett Shaw’s medical check-up, and it was just over two weeks ago. Although Julian Ford and Scarlett Shaw have broken up now, back then he indeed seemed serious about her, otherwise he wouldn’t have taken her to the mansion.

Josiah Sutton found Scarlett Shaw quite interesting back then, never expected her to be daring enough to cuckold Julian Ford.

To be precise, Scarlett Shaw and Julian Ford never were a couple, so calling it cuckolding is too much, but in essence, it is a form of betrayal, and no one can tolerate that.

Josiah Sutton spoke softly, "Is Scarlett Shaw venting her anger at Julian Ford through you?"

The likelihood of this is quite high.

Julian Ford had evidently considered this, and as Josiah Sutton spoke, his aura was cold as an iceberg.

The usual aloof detachment, that air of indifference and nonchalance, was gone without a trace.

Julian Ford’s imposing presence, even though Scarlett Shaw’s table hadn’t detected it, they could feel it.

Scarlett Shaw turned her head slightly and raised her eyes, meeting Julian Ford’s icy gaze, watching her intensely with depth that couldn’t be comprehended.

Scarlett Shaw’s heart shivered as she pursed her lips and withdrew her gaze.

Josiah Sutton glanced around; the tables were already full, so when the manager approached them respectfully, he asked, "President Ford, President Sutton, there’s a private box upstairs available."

Josiah Sutton saw Julian Ford’s expression and chuckled, "No need, the view downstairs is nice. We have acquaintances, we can join their table."

With that, he pointed at Scarlett Shaw’s table, "Julian, let’s go there."
