All She Needs Chapter 41 Don't Be Delusional
Lucas and Scarlett bickered lovingly throughout dinner, presenting a wholesome sight for the other restaurant patrons. The child was adorable, and the mother was young and stunning. Unfortunately, the happy family dynamic was missing a father figure.The other patrons were all envious of Scarlett and Lucas. Who said that children who grew up in a single-parent family would be unhappy? Just look at how happy this child was! Scarlett and Lucas could feel the unabashed gaze of the other customers on them, and they exchanged a knowing look. The patrons of this restaurant were terrifying. They didn't even try to hide that they were blatantly staring at the duo.Monica, who had just finished dinner with a client, came out from the restaurant's private room with an older, middle-aged man. Monica was holding the older man's hand with a coquettish expression and even giggled at intervals. It was so cringy that onlookers got goosebumps watching Monica. Scarlett spotted Monica leaving the roo
All She Needs Chapter 42 Slandering Lucas
No one talked about her son like that. Scarlett's expression was frosty as she said, "You should watch your words if you don't have proof. What you're doing now is considered slander, but if you continue, I can sue you for defamation, and literally anyone in this restaurant can be my witness. You know, Miss Winters, I actually pity you. You love Jonathan so much, but he's always looking for other women."Monica knew that Scarlett wasn't just saying that to scare her. Scarlett was a lawyer who made her living off advocating for justice, while Monica was just a model who made her living off walking on runways and currying favor with corporate bosses. She knew she could not win Scarlett in an argument, but that didn't mean she wasn't upset."Don't get too cocky. Just wait! You won't always win!" Monica could only spit out this last sentence bitterly."Miss Winters, don't be mistaken. I call you by your last name not out of respect but because I cannot stand to even say your name. What
All She Needs Chapter 43 Uncle Dylan Is Staying Over
The funniest part was that as she said all of that, Scarlett had stared at her rice and had not explicitly named anyone, so they technically couldn't blame her for defamation. Insisting that Scarlett defamed them would be admitting that Monica was the bitch she was talking about. Regardless, they were at a loss."I just wanted you to have a nice dinner. Who would've thought that you would need to witness this mess as well?" Scarlett said as she stared at Lucas forlornly.She kept on pretending that Jonathan and Monica didn't exist and resumed her meal after refilling Lucas' glass of water.At that moment, Scarlett's phone rang, and Dylan's name appeared on her phone screen."Dylan, did you just get off work?" Scarlett's tone was sweet as she picked up her phone.Jonathan was getting angrier by the minute and had the overwhelming urge to throttle her. First, she pretended he didn't exist, and now she was talking so sweetly to another man!Scarlett ignored Jonathan, who was clearly
All She Needs Chapter 44 A Soft Spot for Children
That was an appropriate reaction for a six-year-old child, but Scarlett knew that Lucas was actually mocking Jonathan.He was deliberately doing this to cause trouble, but she decided that this was none of her concern and stayed silent.She had had enough of Jonathan's threats, and she believed that Lucas' silver tongue, which could rival hers, was the key to defeating Jonathan. So, she just continued her meal without a care in the world.Monica, who had witnessed Jonathan's violent reaction to Scarlett inviting another man over, was filled with even more hatred for Scarlett.Just a few days ago, she and Jonathan were going to make up. However, ever since Scarlett's son suddenly appeared, claiming that Jonathan was his father, Jonathan never contacted her again. Despite her incessant calling, he never picked up, and on the rare occasion that he did pick up, his tone would be cold as ice. It was her birthday today, and she had begged him to spend it with her, and he had reluctantl
All She Needs Chapter 45 Trespassing
"Replacing her was a good thing! I hope she dies from anger." It was apparent that Lucas despised Monica."Why don't you like her?" Scarlett asked, surprised by Lucas' sudden hatred for Monica."Of course I don't like her. She insulted you!" Lucas replied straightforwardly.Hearing this warmed Scarlett's heart. What a thoughtful child!However, she still had another question. "Then why are you picking on Jonathan?" she continued curiously."That's because Mommy doesn't like him. You always come home late because of him, so I don't like him," he replied and silently added, "Let's not forget that he was also an absent father for six years."Scarlett was overjoyed at this revelation. As long as Scarlett did not like someone or if someone had mistreated her, Lucas would automatically hate them as well. Recently, she doubted her decision to bring Lucas into the world the way that she did, but now, she was sure she had made the right choice. As long as she had Lucas, it didn't matter t
All She Needs Chapter 46 Shamelessly Staying
Scarlett usually never lost her temper in front of Jonathan, but now, she glared at him hostilely, and the message she was trying to convey with her eyes was clear, "Get the fuck out of my house."Yet, Jonathan just drawled shamelessly, "Don't be like that. I'm already in your house, so won't you offer me a drink?"Scarlett was just about to tell him to leave when Lucas chimed in, "Mommy, Grandpa Jonathan looks quite pitiful. Maybe we could offer him a glass of water. My teacher taught me that we have to help people who are in need, especially beggars."Lucas' words were dripping with sarcasm, but Jonathan didn't lose his cool and agreed, "He's right. I'm a person in need."In the end, Scarlett could only reluctantly invite Jonathan into the house. They made their way into the living room, where Lucas and Jonathan engaged in an intense staring match, neither willing to back down. Scarlett's frustration was steadily rising as she watched on, so she said unpleasantly, "Mr. Leonard, p
All She Needs Chapter 47 Overjoyed
Jonathan glared at Scarlett before saying, "She's right. I'll visit you in a few days, alright? Listen to your mom and go to sleep."Since the adults had instructed him to go to bed, Lucas had no choice but to comply. "Okay, but you have to give me your phone number."Lucas pulled out a phone from his pocket, and Jonathan keyed in his phone number before returning the phone to Lucas."Then, I'll be leaving first," Jonathan informed Scarlett.Scarlett simply nodded, and Lucas forlornly watched as Jonathan walked out of the house."Mommy, can he sleep with me tonight?" Lucas pleaded.She was flabbergasted and guessed that Lucas probably found out the truth about Jonathan. Why else would he ask to sleep with a random man he just met? She was torn. On the one hand, she wanted Lucas to be happy, but on the other hand, Dylan would be coming over early in the morning tomorrow.Though she wasn't dating Dylan, he would be devastated if he found out that she let another man stay over, and
All She Needs Chapter 48 Overstepping Boundaries
Thanks to Lucas' persuasion, Jonathan finally agreed. He never liked sleeping next to children, but he was surprisingly excited and happy to sleep next to Lucas.After the phone call, he immediately did a sharp U-turn and took only five minutes to complete a ten-minute journey."Let's go. Lucas is waiting for you." Scarlett couldn't stand the sexual tension between her and Jonathan and shut the doors before walking toward the living room.Jonathan only smiled as he watched her petite silhouette leave and followed her into the house.Lucas, who had been lounging lazily on the couch, launched himself at Jonathan immediately once he saw him. Jonathan caught him easily and carried him in his arms in bemusement. This was his first time carrying a child. Thank goodness that Lucas was already six years old—if he were a one-year-old, Jonathan definitely wouldn't know what to do."Lucas, go to sleep." Watching Lucas' joyous expression and the duo's intimate attitude toward each other, she

All She Needs Chapter 393 Warmth
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
All She Needs Chapter 392 Disbelief
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
All She Needs Chapter 391 The First Night
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
All She Needs Chapter 390 Numb
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
All She Needs Chapter 389 Everything Has Changed
"Hey! What are you doing? Are you going home now?" Scarlett asked."Of course! Where else would I go? Didn't we just break up? Why are you calling me again? Don't tell me that you miss me already!" Teresa's voice which was filled with glee, came from the other end of the receiver. Hearing her voice made Scarlett feel much better than before, but Scarlett was worried that she would no longer be so happy after Scarlett tells her the truth. She didn't want her problems to affect the lives of those around her. Since she made a mistake, she would be the one to bear responsibility, and no one else should have to suffer because of her … especially not her best friend.Scarlett hesitated before asking, " Teresa, do you like your job?""What's not to like? I love it! Being a teacher is my dream! My students are obedient and understanding. My job also gives me a sense of accomplishment! Why are you asking me this now? I've told you before that my dream is to be one of the best teachers in
All She Needs Chapter 388 Lingering Feelings
As she spoke, Scarlett attempted to push Jonathan away, but he was too strong. She couldn't fight back at all. She felt like a fragile child in front of Jonathan, and he could crush her into pieces with just a little force. Jonathan leaned in and whispered coldly, "Do you think I’m still as compliant as before, allowing you to push me away repeatedly? Let me tell you, I’m not the same. How well do you think you know me? Let me make it clear, I will get what I want, including you!" Scarlett sensed the threat in Jonathan's words and looked at this unfamiliar man with some caution. She asked cautiously, "Jonathan, are you threatening me? What exactly do you mean? Why don't you just tell me instead of playing games? My time is not free, so let me go if you won't talk. I still have to work tomorrow." Scarlett was truly exhausted at this moment. Listening to her colleagues discuss Jonathan in the office had already put her on edge. After work, she spent so much time walking aroun
All She Needs Chapter 387 Threats
Jonathan did not take her comments to heart and continued coldly, "You came home quite late, Scarlett. It seems like you've learned to enjoy life more now, huh? Weren't you just a bookworm before? Why are you so late today? You've changed a lot after starting work and made more friends, huh? Tell me, who were you out having dinner with just now? A colleague? Your boss? Or is it your boyfriend? Whoever it is, it seems like he takes good care of you, and since you were having so much fun with him, why bother coming back home in the evening?" Scarlett could hardly believe the cruel words that came from his mouth. When did Jonathan become so heartless? Although he could be a bit carefree before, he would never say such things to her. In Scarlett's eyes, Jonathan had always been gentle and caring, completely different from the person uttering these words now. Scarlett felt infuriated and couldn't help defending herself, "It's not what you think! I was just having a cup of coffee with
All She Needs Chapter 386 It's Been Awhile
The two best friends chatted, and before they knew it, time had passed as they enjoyed their coffee. Soon, night fell, and the sky that was once adorned with the setting sun was now full of twinkling stars. It was beautiful, but it also reminded Scarlett of the day she parted ways with Jonathan. That day was just like today, a beautiful night with bright stars. However, things had changed, and she could never sit here and talk with Jonathan as she did that day. Teressa noticed the shift in mood from across the table. After hesitating, Teresa couldn't help but speak up, "Scarlett, Jonathan ... He's coming back soon." Teresa didn’t know the details of Scarlett and Jonathan’s relationship, but she knew they went on a trip together during their final year while everyone was looking for internships. It was quite sudden since Scarlett barely hung out with Jonathan. Then, there were rumors that they were dating, but Jonathan went abroad to study soon after, and Scarlett never menti
All She Needs Chapter 385 Broken-hearted
Scarlett sighed heavily at these words. “Yeah, there’s no way our small magazine can get an interview with the great Jonathan Leonard. Only those major news outlets have the qualifications for that. It’s his first time returning to the country after going abroad, so this is big news. The media would be busy with this, but it’s certainly not for us to handle.” Just then, the editor-in-chief of the office suddenly appeared. He must have overheard their discussions outside and sternly said, “Am I paying you to gossip around? You’re all good for nothing. You’re all itching to gossip now that I’ve eased up on you?” Once he roared, everyone fell silent. They either looked down at their computers or pretended to be busy with their work. No one responded to him. Who dared to oppose the editor? His words were final. However, Scarlett, who had always disliked this editor, felt grateful to him at this moment. She thanked him silently for saving her from her colleague’s gossiping. This wa
