Just then, Scarlett heard someone call her name from behind her, "Scarlett?"Scarlett turned in confusion and realized that it was the school counselor. She never expected to see him here, and her heart was filled with warmth at the sight of him. She hadn't seen him since graduating, so she didn't think he would still remember her. She hastily wiped the tears from her face before greeting him with a brilliant smile, "Mr. Brown! Why are you here?""I had nothing to do today, so I thought I would drop by to play basketball. How's work? Why aren't you here with Jonathan? I can't believe it's been a year already. Time really flies … I still remember when Jonathan would play basketball, and you would cheer for him from the sidelines. I miss all of you, so come by with Jonathan next time! By the way, don't forget to send me a wedding invitation when both of you get married. After all, I've got my eye on both of you, and I'm sure you will end up together. I remember how nice Jonathan trea
Scarlett immediately understood what he was trying to say and bashfully lowered her gaze. Since when had he become so sleazy? Going overseas had done nothing to teach him to be a better man. Scarlett didn't know how to answer him, so she stared silently at the ground. Suddenly, she thought of something and raised her head to say, "Jonathan, I have to tell you something. I can marry you, but you must promise me one thing. We won't have a wedding ceremony."Jonathan was upset by that suggestion, and he huffed, "What? No ceremony? Are you planning on just getting married in secret? Is it that embarrassing to be married to me? Is that why you don't want a ceremony? If you don't want to marry me, just tell me! You don't have to do all this to show how reluctant you are to marry me!" Jonathan had no idea what was going on in her head. What woman would outright refuse to have a wedding ceremony? Any woman would love to have a grand ceremony to celebrate her marriage, but now that Sca
Jonathan's tone was loving and teasing, and she was immediately transported back to the carefree times she had spent with Jonathan at university. Back then, they didn't have much to worry about and could just enjoy dating each other without reality holding them back."Have you had breakfast? I'm making breakfast right now. Do you want some?" Scarlett asked."No, thank you. I don't like eating in the morning. You can go ahead and enjoy your breakfast," Jonathan replied. Jonathan never got into the habit of eating breakfast; after he went overseas, he had less reason to have breakfast. As such, he never ate breakfast anymore. After Scarlett had finished her food, Jonathan drove them to city hall to sign the necessary documents for their marriage.The entire time, Scarlett felt as if she were in a dream. Everything that was happening seemed so surrea. The absurdity of the events and the fact that she had not slept well in two days only made her more dazed. Scarlett hadn't realize
Scarlett knew there was no real solution to the problem between her and Jonathan. The both of them were just choosing to ignore what had happened between them.There was nothing left for them to do to fix what had been broken.Until now, she still felt as if she was in a dream. Was she really married to Jonathan? Was she really living with him in such a lavish house? She found it hard to wrap her mind around it because it was all so surreal.The warm water in the tub sloshed gently over her body, and she felt her eyelids droop. These few days have been tough, and she hadn't been able to sleep well. All she wanted to do was fall asleep in this tub. If she were any less rational than she was right now, she probably would've just fallen asleep in the tub.Scarlett changed into a simple set of pajamas after her bath, completely ignoring the sexy lingerie set that Jonathan had picked out for her. She could probably wear that lingerie set if she were alone but she couldn't possibly w
In a noisy bar, two burly men carried a man in a suit into a private room. Immediately afterward, a young woman entered the private room as well. "This is for the two of you." The woman took out a stack of hundred-dollar bills from her purse and handed it to the two men."Make sure to call us if you need us to do something like this again." The two men kissed the stack of money in their hands and strode away from the private room. The woman walked up to the tired, drunk man on the bed and immediately climbed into bed with him.In order to stop the man from resisting, she was about to tie both of his hands with the rope next to her. But the man suddenly turned over and crushed her on the bed. With how petite the woman was, she appeared to be particularly helpless.Before she entered this room, she had already drunk some alcohol to boost herself up. At this time, even though she was so close to this unfamiliar man, she was still a little scared. After all, this was her first time. Tel
The woman's fair skin was as soft as silk, and her plump chest was tightly wrapped in a black-laced bra. She had such an impressive figure that even this man, who had hooked up with many women, had to admit that she was among the most attractive ones.Although the woman's actions could ignite his arousal, she was far too inexperienced. If a grown man like him was enticed by such a young woman, his desire would inevitably grow out of control. With a hard tug, he broke free from the rope on his left hand and successfully untied the other one on his feet."Tell me, who are you?" He turned over, pinned the young woman tightly beneath him, and questioned her coldly.He held a very special status, and countless people wanted him dead. If someone had bad intentions, it wasn't impossible for them to get a woman to seduce him and then entrap him from there.The woman looked at the man above her in shock. Damn! Why were those ropes so flimsy?"I…I'm a special employee in this bar…" Before s
Her impressive figure was laid before him. The tip of his tongue circled around the peak of her chest, licking lightly, causing the young woman below to let out a scream."You're terrible…" She wasn't a girl anymore. She had become a real woman, and there was even a hint of defiance in her soft moans. She had to endure the pain below. As she only had this one chance, the results had to be the best.The young woman's long, blonde hair was messily splayed on the white pillow. The sight was both beautiful and alluring. The man felt an uncontrollable desire for her, and his want grew more intense."Oh…Ah…" Gradually, that stinging pain turned into a spark that ignited her entire body. No longer able to control herself, she let out a whine. As they moved as one, their bouts of passion lasted for dozens of minutes, slowing down a little occasionally. She wrapped her arms around his neck once more and kissed him affectionately. Even if it hurt so much, she still had to achieve her goal.T
The small black backpack on his back swung around as he ran. As he stood neatly beside Scarlett with his tiny legs, the height difference between the two of them was very obvious."Did you do this, Lucas?" Scarlett lowered her sunglasses slightly, looking at the group of reporters not far away."No." Lucas put his hand on his heart, swearing to his mother that he didn't tip off the reporters, who were here for them. Scarlett looked at her precious son skeptically. She didn't even tell her father about her return to Atville. Who would believe that this little boy wasn't the one who spilled the secret?"I'm telling the truth, Miss Langston." Lucas put his hand on his waist, pouting in protest. "If you don't want to be swamped by a bunch of work the day after your return, I suggest we run away right now."When she was in Amerstica, she was overwhelmed by mountains of work. If she took on this many cases upon her return, she would probably go crazy. "We run in three, two, one…Go!" S
