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 49 Never Met My Dad
Lucas was silent for a while before saying, "That's alright. I've never met my dad. It has always just been me and my mom. I did ask my mom who my dad was before, but she would always cry after that, so I stopped asking. My mom loves me the most in this world, so I don't want her to cry or be sad. Mommy is also really good to me! The first few years we were in Amerstica, we weren't doing good at all, but she would rather suffer than see me suffer."Lucas continued, "She still works even when she's sick just because she wants to earn money to raise me in a good environment. So, I don't talk about my daddy, and I won't let anyone bully her or make her cry either."Jonathan listened to Lucas attentively and felt a twinge of pain in his chest. He didn't know that Scarlett and Lucas had such a tough life before moving back to Catheden and that she had to endure it all alone. He thought she had been living well for the past six years, but it seemed he was wrong. Inexplicably, he found hims
All She Needs Chapter 50 I Like Him if Mommy Does
Listening to Scarlett and Dylan's lively chatting bothered Jonathan more than he would admit. Scarlett was never this happy when she talked to him. "What's your mom's relationship with Dylan?" he asked Lucas, whose body was still intertwined with his.Lucas, who was still quite drowsy from sleep, answered seriously, "I don't know. They met in Amerstica."Lucas paused before continuing, "Uncle Dylan seems to have a crush on Mommy, and Mommy seems to like Uncle Dylan too. So, I guess he will be my future daddy."Future daddy! Jonathan fumed at this thought."Do you like him?" Jonathan asked with thinly veiled jealousy.Lucas was much more honest in the morning as his brain was yet to be calculative, so he said earnestly, "He's alright. As long as mommy likes him, so do I. Anyone mommy wants to be with will automatically be my new daddy."Lucas always put his mom first and could accept people he didn't like as long as his mom did. However, Lucas wasn't a fool either—he knew that D
All She Needs Chapter 51 Daughters Are Much More Understanding
Jonathan and Lucas looked so similar that Scarlett had to fight the constant urge to kiss Jonathan on the cheeks due to their stark resemblance."Mommy, did Uncle Dylan leave?" Lucas asked, even though he knew the answer."Yeah, come eat breakfast," Scarlett said as she led him to the dining room to have breakfast.Breakfast was the most important meal for a growing child.Lucas grabbed Jonathan's arm as Scarlett led him to the dining room. "Let's eat!" he cheerfully said.Jonathan's heart swelled when Lucas invited him to breakfast, but he looked at the breakfast spread prepared by Dylan and thought, "Why did he, the president of Leonard Corporations, have to eat breakfast that was prepared by another man?"His expression soured at that thought. Scarlett noticed his demeanor, but she was already used to his mood swings at this point, so she just ignored him and shifted her attention to Lucas.Lucas had excellent table manners, and he ate his breakfast elegantly. Jonathan also h
All She Needs Chapter 52 Take Off Your Clothes
"I'm not scared. Besides, it's not like Mommy can find anyone to have babies with," Lucas said smugly to Jonathan.Jonathan couldn't help but guffaw at Lucas' blatant insult toward his mom.Scarlett was fuming—how could her son be like this? She glared at Jonathan. It must be his stupid genetics again. Lucas had inherited Jonathan's savage way with words and none of her kindness!Jonathan felt aggrieved at Scarlett's hostile glare and said accusingly, "Why are you glaring at me? He said it, not me!"Scarlett turned her head away, deciding to ignore them both.After they had finished their breakfast, Scarlett was annoyed to see that Jonathan was still in her house, and he didn't look like he was planning to leave anytime soon either. She furrowed her eyebrows. It looked like he was going to be here for a while."Why aren't you going to work? Are all president's this carefree?" she shot at him."What's the rush? Who would scold me for not showing up to my own company?" he drawled.

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
