“You know what? It’s a tug of war. I have to make sure I get back into school now. Otherwise, I will end up being a housewife forever. I’m not gonna compromise this time!” Scarlett said.
Fortunately, Francis didn’t bother putting up more of a fight.
Scarlett made a call to Bell to ask her about what had happened recently at school, but before she was able to do that, Bell just shouted out excitedly,
“Scarlett! Where the hell have you been these days? Have you been kidnapped? Why haven’t you given me a call recently?”
“It’s a long story. I’m fine though, don’t worry. I have something to ask you. I haven’t registered for classes yet… do you know if that might be a problem for me?”
Downstairs came the sound of the engine start, and soon the housekeeper came to tell Francis that she had driven herself out.“Shall we chase after her?” The bodyguard asked.“Let her go!” He said after he took a glance at the baby in his arms. He knew her and her driving skills very well. No one could catch up with her.Meanwhile, Scarlett kept driving and crying; she had no idea where she was going. Once she got far enough away from the village, she pulled over.“Damn you, Francis, how can you think that I would just abandon my baby and our relationship?” She angrily punched the steering wheel. The sound of the horn scared the birds resting in the trees lining the road.She was facing a d
Bell gestured to Scarlett to respond, but Scarlett insistently didn’t say a word. Bell pinched Scarlett’s thigh until Scarlett screamed in pain.“Scarlett? Aren’t you at school? What happened? Are you alright? Is everything okay?” Francis asked hurriedly.“Don’t put your weight on me! And get your leg off on me! It’s killing me!” Scarlett begged as Bell let her leg fall on top of Scarlett’s.As Bell lifted her leg up to let Scarlett breathe, Scarlett came to the window to answer the phone.“Who are you with right now?” Francis was overwhelmed by what he heard over the phone, although he was trying to make sure his tone was still calm. He felt certain that she had gone back to school to see some lover
Scarlett looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a black limousine parked in the shadow of trees. Here was a luxury car with a low profile.Scarlett walked over and pulled the car door open. She had prepared to see the poker face of Francis, but, unexpectedly, there was a big surprise waiting for her in the car. The baby was there.“Oh, my precious baby!” She exclaimed excitedly and took him from Francis, keeping looking at her cute baby in his blue jumpsuit. And then Scarlett couldn’t help kissing him again and again because she had missed him so much after two days of not seeing him.“He hasn’t had a good meal in these two days. You should do something!” Francis said, sitting next to her in the car.“Haven’t you f
Because her coat was stained, Scarlett handed the baby back to Francis and retrieved some napkins to try and get the stains out.“Just throw it away. Even if you wipe it clean, it will still have a smell.” Francis said after seeing what she was doing.“It’s Bell’s coat. I can’t just throw it away!” Scarlett yelled.“Don’t you have clothes with you? You mean you didn’t pack anything at all?” Francis frowned. Francis was a neat freak and a germaphobe, and he would never wear someone else’s clothes. He felt sick to his stomach, thinking that Scarlett was clothed in Bell’s clothing right that moment.What Francis said made Scarlett so embarrassed that she put her head down. She had left a couple of
Meanwhile, Scarlett was in a deep sleep, and then she was awakened by someone.“What are you doing? Please leave me alone! I want to sleep! I’m so tired… just let me sleep, why won’t you?” Scarlett said in anger.But Francis didn’t say anything. Without a word, he lifted the baby and placed him in Scarlett’s arms.Scarlett was so tired and frustrated that she felt like she would burst into tears any moment. Despite that, she knew she had to put the baby first and feed him if that’s what he wanted. Scarlett felt very wronged.“I’m not a nurse, okay? How can you treat me like this?” She cried.Although she knew what the baby’s needs came first, Scarlett st
At the moment, Scarlett was half awake and saw her baby struggling to have his meal. She had no choice but to sit up and hold him up, starting to feed him while she kept yawning sleepily.Francis went back to bed and rested his head on his hands to look at the mother and the baby. They were the two most important people to him in the entire world.He felt very happy and satisfied, and this feeling was so much greater than the sense of satisfaction he felt when he would cut a billion-dollar business deal.As the sun climbed up gradually, a busy morning started the new day.Scarlett had woken up so early that she was dozing off at breakfast. Her hair almost landed in the porridge.“Are you that tired, babe?” Francis
After that, Scarlett sent Francis a message immediately.“Technically speaking, our son is still an illegitimate child now. What are you gonna do about that?”Meanwhile, Francis was in a meeting when he got the message. And he knew it was from Scarlett because no one dared to text him except for her.Francis took his cellphone out to check his messages, which really surprised everyone else at the meeting. The Director of Sales & Marketing of Sandler Family, William Matthew, suddenly stopped his presentation and asked carefully, “Mr. Sandler, is there something wrong? Is everything all right?”He was nervous and careful when he asked him because he was terrified of this cold-hearted boss.“Eve
“Why is that?”“Because it’s you. Because the father of the baby is you, and so I’m willing to give everything up for you and our child!”She didn’t know if Francis understood what she was saying to him, but this was how she tried to show him love and affection. She was so strong and proud that she didn’t want to be humble because of this love, but she would be like that for him.As for Francis, he believed she was the only one for him, and he had tried his best to keep her around. Together, they had come to new, individual meanings of love, united by a shared vision of their baby’s future. After everything that had transpired– all the fighting, arguments, and deceptions– Scarlett and Francis had finally come to see each other as soulmates
