Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56As soon as they got home, Scarlett started to make preparations for Skyler’s arrival. She arranged everything by herself, right from the necessities in the bedroom to the utensils she would need for tomorrow’s lunch. After that, she came to the study looking for Francis.
“Francis!” She peeked in and yelled. She was wearing a loose white shirt, which revealed her long legs. She looked, as always, extremely sexy and charming.
“What’s up?” Francis asked as he looked up.
“Would you like to go shopping with me?” She asked in a meek voice, scared to disturb his concentration and inflamed his temper. Scarlett just stood there without moving. She stared at him with big puppy eyes, anxious to please.
Francis beckoned her in, a

She still remembered that time. Scarlett had wanted to take a closer look, but Eve had pulled her away before she had even been able to snap a quick photo with her phone.Francis twirled the car keys around and threw them at Scarlett to catch. Scarlett began walking around the car slowly, admiring various tiny details that only a true expert would notice. It was an unusual hobby for a woman, but Scarlett wasn’t an ordinary girl.“Let’s hit the road, and I’ll give you a good ride!” Scarlett said happily.As Scarlett stepped on the gas pedal, the Maserati just rushed out like a rocket, and she whistled excitedly. It was like she was at a racetrack.“Francis, did you buy this gorgeous car for me?” She looked at Francis and asked cur

“You are my woman now, and everything you have represents me. And I don’t want others to think that I don’t have the ability to provide a good life for my woman, okay?”Scarlett held his arms and said, “But I’m always afraid that one day, God will bring disasters upon us to punish me for being so happy.”When Francis heard that, he felt sad for Scarlett, and he understood why she felt like that. He knew Scarlett was very grateful for the happiness she had now, but she was afraid of losing it all because she had never lived with such abundance before. She was afraid of going back to her old life when she had to scrounge and make do with what she had.“Baby, we’ll never be bankrupt. You have absolutely nothing to worry about.” Francis tried to comfort h

Carlos also looked up into the man who was related to him biologically, as if he was trying to remember him from a past life or something.Meanwhile, Skyler put the luggage cart away and took the baby from Scarlett, and said excitedly, “Well, I see, you are Carlos. Don’t you think we look alike, little boy?”Scarlett pushed the luggage cart and said as they walked toward the outside, “He used to look like his father, but recently I think he’s started to look more like you! Isn’t it strange? I don’t know how that happens. It’s kind of odd.”Skyler gave a kiss on the baby’s cheek. The chubby baby was so lovely; especially with his big, watery eyes, nobody could take their eyes off him.As they came out, the bodygu

Scarlett took his arm and rested her head on his shoulder, and said, “Skyler, there is one thing you need to remember, my home is also yours. Don’t feel like you don’t belong here. The relationship between you and I, brother and sister, will never change, no matter what happens. I’m always here for you.” Scarlett looked up at Skyler and said. She realized that her little brother had turned into a man overnight. He was gentle, kind, and full of wisdom and experience. She felt deeply proud of him and started feeling emotional all over again. Skyler smiled and said, “Sis, do you still remember the days that you took me to collect the bottles after school and exchanged them for money? You saved up money for months to make sure we ate well! But there you were, practically on the verge of fainting from exhaustion, with not even a bite of food in your stomach to keep you going….”

After finishing up his morning shower, Skyler stood in the doorway, watching the various helpers at the villa working meticulously. They looked like they were taking care not to be too noisy, probably because they didn’t want to wake Scarlett up. Seeing everything happening in front of his eyes, Skyler smiled at himself. All of a sudden, the sound of Carlos crying floated to Skyler’s ears. Skyler bounded towards Carlos’s room, opened the door, and saw Grace was dressing Carlos with great difficulty as he bawled. She was sweating and obviously stressed out. “Be good, my sweet boy! Your mother will be very happy to see you all dressed up! Come on now.” She coaxed him gently. “What’s wrong? Are you being naughty, Carlos?” Skyler said from behind. Grace turned arou

“Claire? Does she still have contact with Scarlett?” Anna was surprised. “It’s not what you thought! She just happened to run into them. My aunt must know the president of the Sandler Company!” She explained. Anna’s eyes brightened. The president of Sandler Company must be filthy rich. Scarlett didn’t have many close relatives, and she hated her father, so Anna figured that Scarlett might invite her to attend the wedding. “Caroline, go and ask about it! How are they doing? Are they going to have a huge wedding?” Anna patted Caroline’s shoulder excitedly and asked. “Why are you so excited about this, mum? There is no way that she will repay us, okay? We’d better hope that she doesn’t hate us or decides to take revenge.” Caroline said.

Skyler chuckled. “Don’t be silly, Scarlett. It’ll be fun. I’ve heard the food there is delicious. To die for!” Scarlett sighed and said nothing. “What kinds of places did you guys go to when you were dating? Fancy places? Or some sloppy fast food joint every now and then, eh?” Skyler asked. He was curious to know more about the relationship between Francis and Scarlett. He still hadn’t gotten a good read on Francis, and he hadn’t figured out what had allowed their relationship to survive this long, considering the fact that they came from such different worlds. Scarlett began recollecting the early days of her romance with Francis. Back then, she had been optimistic and cheery. She had had a positive outlook on life despite all the hardships she had faced, just trying to keep herself and Skyler afloat. She would

When the four of them went out to eat dinner, Scarlett was still unhappy even though hours had passed since her conversation with Skyler. She ordered her favorite dish off the menu– fettuccini doused in black truffle and garlic aioli– but found that even those beloved flavors could do nothing to drive her bad mood away.“What’s wrong with your sister?” Francis asked Skyler when he saw Scarlett twirling her pasta around her fork absent-mindedly.“Well, it might be that the pregnancy made her silly!” Skyler answered as he fed Carlos a spoonful of chocolate-banana pudding.When Scarlett heard that, she just stared at him and said, “What do you know about being pregnant anyway, Skyler? Just let me be.”“Francis, you

When Scarlett woke up, it was eight o’clock in the morning. She rolled around in bed for a few moments before sitting up. Her head felt heavy.“You’re awake!” Francis said as he walked into the bedroom from the balcony. He smiled at her. “I thought you’d be out for hours. Aren’t you jetlagged? How long was the flight from Lisbon to Irving anyway? And didn’t you have a stopover in Dallas?”Scarlett rested her head on Francis’s shoulder and said, “Well, I wanted to go to bed early last night. No thanks to you, we ended up staying up so late! I barely got enough sleep. You’re exhausting me, Francis!”“Oh? Am I? I’m so sorry, Scarlett.” Francis teased. He kissed her neck and tousled her hair.

“Don’t you miss me?” Scarlett laughed on the other side. Her hair was wet, and she was wearing a champagne-colored nightgown. She looked as pretty as ever.“Of course I miss you, but I can’t do anything about it, right? I can’t cry on daddy’s shoulder as Brittany did.” Francis said. He came to the balcony and lit up a cigarette and felt a little relaxed.“Brittany cried?” Scarlett asked in surprise.“Yep, she cried for over an hour,” he said as he breathed out a plume of thick smoke.Upon hearing that, Scarlett felt kind of guilty. Was she selfish? Was she a bad mother, a bad wife?“Francis, do you resent me?” Scarlett asked as she Skyped with

As Carlos grew up, he learned the fact that his father was very powerful. But he couldn’t tell his mother what to do.“I gotta fly to Portugal for business... I’ll be gone for a month,” Scarlett said one evening.“Why do you have to be gone for such a long time? Can’t you just get one of your associates to go instead? What’s going to happen to us while you’re gone? At least try to see if you can come back sooner….” Francis moaned unhappily. He hated being away from his wife.“Carlos will take care of his sisters, and besides, Brittany and Shannon are very good kids.” Scarlett comforted gently. “You don’t have to worry about anything.”“I’m not talking about them.

There was a minute of silence over the phone– Francis and Scarlett said nothing to one another. Scarlett pouted and asked, “Wait a minute… are you laughing at me? You’re making fun of me, aren’t you?”“No, I’m the same as you. I feel nervous,” he said in a low voice.“What?” Scarlett asked curiously.Francis was standing in front of the window of his study room with his hands in his pocket, looking out at the vast, blue sea outside.He took a deep breath and smiled, “I said, I’m much more nervous than you are.

At this moment, Carlos took Shannon by the hand and walked in slowly, and said, “Brittany, mommy is tired. Please go play by yourself.”But Brittany just ignored him and took Scarlett to jump on the balcony. She was excited about the big blue swimming pool in front of them and said, “Mommy, I want to swim. Mommy, please go swimming with me.”The setting sun shone on the swimming pool; it was very quiet.“My sweetheart, could you ask daddy to go swimming with you a while later?” Scarlett said as she touched her head.Though Brittany was unhappy about this, she was not a stubborn kid; after that, she turned around to go look for Francis. Carlos was a little worried about her, so he instantly followed her.

Eve was pissed off and almost fainted from how angry and frustrated she was feeling right then.Damon immediately held her around her waist and said smilingly, “It’s our wedding day, Eve! I know you’re stressed out and panicking about this whole pregnancy thing, but this is actually good. You’re not pregnant! We’re in the clear! So let’s just try to enjoy this day now, why don’t we?
