"I hope you have not come with bad news about my wife. About Scarlet," Jack corrected himself.

 

Kevin wished that by now Jack would know not to expect any good news from a woman he had divorced. "It seems that he might have met her family. Someone saw their carriage arrive while he was on the estate."

 

"Her father must have threatened him. I leave it to Leonard to be the voice of reason. Leonard only failed to kill Ian right there. She is moving too fast. It is not like her," Jack said, having more reason to think that there was something wrong with Scarlet.

 

Why was Ian around her family? Was it an accidental meeting or was Scarlet fooling herself with thinking she was in love with this man?

 

Jack started to question again if there was a chance that Scarlet had cheated during their marriage. It would make sense why she was quickly so comfortable with Ian. 

 

"That isn't like her either," Jack concluded.
