All She Needs Chapter 65 The Attorney's Son
Lucas was unusually animated when he saw his mom. "Mommy, I've missed you so much!""Baby, I've missed you so much too!" The way the pair acted seemed like something out of a movie, and Jonathan had to force himself not to smile.Though they were exaggerating, they had indeed missed each other terribly. After this incident, Scarlett felt like she treasured Lucas more now and was also grateful to Jonathan. Eventually, she told Jonathan she wanted to return to Belleview Estate with Lucas, and he let her leave.Losing Lucas made her realize that all she wanted was a peaceful life with Lucas, and since she wasn't in love with Jonathan, nor did she desperately need his help with parenting, she decided that she wouldn't tell Jonathan that Lucas was his son.She feared this mess would happen again because if it did, she wasn't sure if she could take it.After they had returned to Belleview Estate, Scarlett helped Lucas apply medication to his bruised wrists. Looking at his wounds broke h
All She Needs Chapter 66 Do You Have to Be So Cocky
"I love Lucas the most. Don't forget about me once you get a wife." At this, Scarlett even made a show of wiping her tears."Of course not. You're irreplaceable in my heart," Lucas passionately declared as he pounded his chest with his fists. However, he had accidentally hit his wound, and his face immediately fell as he stared at his hands in regret."Baby, you've got to calm down," Scarlett said, trying not to laugh."Mommy, I'm okay if you want to be with Uncle Dylan. You have the right to be with whoever you want, so you don't have to worry about me. I don't want to hold you back, okay? As long as you're happy, I'm happy," Lucas said seriously.Scarlett was moved to tears. Lucas was so understanding, but how could she be happy if he wasn't?"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore," Scarlett said, ending the conversation.If they continued, Lucas might send her off to either Dylan's or Jonathan's house personally. Lucas pouted but did not say anything about the abrupt end
All She Needs Chapter 67 A Powerful Son
"Baby, I'm going out to buy some groceries. What do you want to eat?" Since Lucas had gone through a traumatic event, Scarlett decided to make him whatever he craved."Is your food even edible?" Though Lucas had muttered this under his breath, Scarlett still heard him and yelled, "What did you say?""Nothing. I want to eat cocktail shrimp, spaghetti carbonara, and grilled rib-eye steak," Lucas said, listing a number of different dishes. "Little brat! Can you even eat that much?!" Scarlett complained internally but made a mental note of all of the dishes mentioned. After all, she had promised she would make him whatever he wanted.She was about to leave the house when she was stopped by Lucas' voice, "I'm coming with you.""Sure." Having Lucas with her was great, as he was used to buying groceries.So, they happily made their way to the market. Scarlett was overwhelmed by the rowdy market. Though she was skilled at debating in court, haggling at a marketplace was an entirely diff
All She Needs Chapter 68 Blatant Robbery
The owner of the pork stall was an honest and kind man, and once he saw that he had scared such an adorable child to tears, he frantically softened his tone to apologize. "I'm so sorry, kid. Don't cry! I'll sell you the pork for a cheap price.""I want ten pounds of meat, but you can only charge me the price of one pound, okay?" Lucas said smugly.The owner reluctantly agreed to his terms, and Scarlett thought that what Lucas was doing was a blatant robbery.At the vegetable stall, Lucas also asked the owner directly, "Miss, how much is one pound of this vegetable?" The owner was clearly a middle-aged woman, but Lucas called her "Miss" to try and get on her good side. But it seemed like Lucas had met his match. The owner didn't even crack a smile and replied plainly, "Three dollars for a pound.""What about this one?" Lucas continued, pretending that he didn't mind."Four dollars.""And this?""Five dollars." "Let me guess, this next one is six dollars?" Lucas asked the v
All She Needs Chapter 69 Teasing His Own Mother
After Lucas left to shower, Scarlett ran into the kitchen to take out all the food that Lucas had cooked. She swallowed. Lucas had outdone himself again. The food looked and smelled delectable. She couldn't wait to dig in! But, considering his hard work, she decided to wait for him. "My baby is so talented," she mumbled in wonder."Didn't you know that already?" Lucas had already finished showering, and his hair was still damp. He must've taken a quick bath and put on his clothes immediately after.She grabbed a towel and ruffled his damp hair. "Why didn't you dry your hair before you came down?""I had to come down quickly. What if you had finished all the food?" Lucas replied directly."Do I look like I would do something like that?""Yes," he replied without hesitation.Scarlett was offended. So that was what Lucas thought of her. She wanted to smack the back of his head out of spite, but she looked at his delicate skin and decided against it. After all, he was the one who h
All She Needs Chapter 70 It's My Birthday
Lucas was relieved that Scarlett had no objections to the new case he had accepted, so he smiled lightly at her and continued to watch the TV. He didn't tell Scarlett about the details of the case, nor who was involved in it. After all, she would find out herself when the time came. Besides the exorbitant legal fees, Lucas had ulterior motives in accepting this case on Scarlett's behalf. If his mom worked on this case, she would need to be around Jonathan more often, so the chances of them falling in love with each other would also be higher.Lucas' spirits lifted at this thought, and he snuck back into his room to go on the forum again.Kiddo: "LawyerGeoffrey, please don't tell Jonathan's team that it was Scarlett Langston who took the case. Let them figure that out in their own time."LawyerGeoffrey was confused but agreed.LawyerGeoffrey: "I was just about to tell them. You're lucky I haven't told them yet."MasterOfLaw: "Why the secrecy, Kiddo?"FallingFlower: "Are you in c
All She Needs Chapter 71 Proposal
Dylan had always known how bad Scarlett was with dates, but he had hoped she would remember his birthday just once. However, it had been six years, and she had never once remembered his birthday. If she didn't have her phone, she probably wouldn't remember anyone's birthday at all. He had hoped she would remember this year's, but he was dismayed yet again."I'm disappointed." Dylan pouted sadly.Scarlett chuckled. "At least you haven't given up on me yet."Dylan glared at her. He would never give up on her. No matter what, as long as it concerned her, he would always care. "Well, where's my present, then?" Dylan asked shamelessly with his arm outstretched.She didn't even remember his birthday, so how could she have prepared a present for him? "I told you I forgot about your birthday. I'll give you your gift tomorrow."Dylan retracted his hand to rummage through his bag, his fingers brushing over a small box. He breathed in and decided that it was now or never. "Do you know
All She Needs Chapter 72 Embarrassed
"Maybe I'm not up to your standards right now, and you don't feel like you want to marry me immediately, but please believe that the feelings I have for you are all genuine." Dylan's confession came straight from the bottom of his heart.Scarlett's tears had started flowing freely down her face since he began his confession. She was so touched. She had always known that Dylan had done many things for her but hearing him describe his love for her had moved her immensely. He had sacrificed so much in the past six years for her and had never shown interest in any other woman besides her. Furthermore, he had even assured her that he would treat Lucas like his own son and could even sacrifice having children of his own just to prove his point. Not many people could treat someone else's son as their own.Maybe he was lying to her, and he would regret his words in the future, but right now, Scarlett was moved to tears by his confession."Yes, I will marry you." There was no reason for he

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
