Chapter 1092: What the Young Master Specifically Asked Me to Give You
After listening to Olly, Scarlett Yates showed a look of understanding.No wonder Ian Douglas seemed so considerate, even concerned about whether she had eaten; it turned out he was waiting for her to cook for him.
"There’s one more thing..." Olly suddenly remembered something Matthew Saxon instructed her to do. She retrieved a box from the pocket of her apron tied at her chest and handed it to Scarlett Yates, explaining carefully, "Miss Yates, the Young Master specifically instructed me to give this to you."
"This is..." Scarlett Yates looked down at the red box in Olly’s palm, blinking in confusion.
"The Young Master said this ointment, when applied, is very effective for promoting blood circulation and reducing bruises," Olly said, blushing as she spoke, her face turning red.
An ointment for external application, meant for reducing bruises and promoting circulation—there’s no need to explain what kind of injuries it’s meant for.
It was said that the Young Master lost his temper last night; could it be that in a fit of anger, he was a bit violent towards Miss Yates?
And then, feeling embarrassed to give the ointment to Miss Yates himself, he had her do it instead.
The more Olly thought about it, the more convinced she was that this was the case, making her blush even more.
Sigh, the Young Master really is... doesn’t he know how to be a bit more considerate?
Scarlett Yates took the box from Olly’s hand, seeing Olly’s shy expression, she knew she must have misunderstood.
She didn’t bother to explain, put the box in her bag, composed herself, nodded, and said, "I got it."
Having completed her task, Olly quickly slipped away.
After she left, Scarlett Yates took the box out of her bag again.
Opening the lid, inside was a pink jelly-like ointment. Scarlett picked up a piece and applied it to the back of her hand, immediately feeling a cool sensation.
The ointment looked pink and tender, with a faint floral scent when spread, like roses.
Matthew Saxon’s actions were like giving her a sweet after slapping her.
Last night, if it weren’t for his violence, would she be hurt?
This box of ointment, seemingly a gesture of concern, didn’t move her at all. Thinking of last night’s events, her eyes dimmed involuntarily,
When would the misunderstandings between them finally be resolved?

Downstairs, she saw Ian Douglas lounging lazily in the hall on the sofa, slightly squinting his cunning fox-like eyes, reading a newspaper.
Freshly brewed tea was on the coffee table, and a maid he brought was standing by.
The maid bent over to lift the teacup, opened the lid, gently blew on it twice, and then respectfully handed the cup to him, saying, "Sir, please have some tea."
For a moment, seeing such a scene, Scarlett Yates thought she had traveled back in time.
Ian Douglas sat there like a lord, and the little maid beside him served him like an ancient maidservant.
Ian Douglas’s half-squinted fox-like eyes slowly opened, taking his time to accept the tea, sipping it leisurely, smacking his lips, then slightly frowning and turning to the maid, saying, "The water is a bit hot."
The maid immediately understood, took the teacup back, blew on it again, then brought it to him: "Sir, try it again, see if it’s still hot?"
Ian Douglas shook his head lightly, sighed softly, and said, "This Biluochun still doesn’t taste as good as Mingqian Longjing. Go and brew me a new pot."
