Meanwhile, Jennifer had been listening to their conversation. Her ears perked up. She raised her eyebrows, contemplating a new idea.

“Do you like cars, Jeremy? If you can get into a good college, I’ll make sure to get you the ride you want.”

Jeremy grew excited upon hearing this. He rushed to Jennifer’s side and said, “Really? Do you mean that? You’re not just messing around with me, are you?”

“Would I ever lie to you? Have I ever promised something to you and then not come through? No, right?” Jennifer said as she gently stroked his head.

Right then, Caroline came out wearing different clothes. She was wearing an outfit that Scarlett had never worn befor

    Over the weekend, Francis decided to take Scarlett to the stables despite her lukewarm reaction during their conversation earlier.“Wait, what? What are we doing here anyway? I thought I already told you that I don’t want to ride any horses.” Scarlett said angrily. She looked at Francis with a death stare, her hands deep inside her pockets. She was wearing grey joggers and a form-fitting black shirt. As always, she looked lovely. Her hair was tied up, so, from a distance, one could easily mistake her for a charming young man.“Go and change your clothes!” Francis hollered at her.Scarlett angrily stomped and yelled out, “Why the hell did you ask me to ride here so early in the morning? Why can’t you just leave me alone and sleep in on the weekends for once? I don’t wan

    Meanwhile, Francis and Damon had resumed their conversation.Francis turned around to Damon and said, “Didn’t you swear that you would find a way to succeed in Paris? How come you’re back here now? What’s been up with you?”“Well, it was just boring! I already have money, I don’t have to keep working so damn hard anymore, do I? You know what I mean, don’t you? In any case, I lost my wife. I didn’t care for anything beyond that.” Damon squinted at Scarlett in the distance, trying to discern what it is she was doing so furtively.“So, that girl, Scarlett… is she your new lover then? What happened between you and Mary anyway? Or is that ancient history now?” Damon knew that Francis was constantly in and out of torrid love affairs. He squinte

    “We just didn’t have anything else to talk about.” Francis sounded cavalier about the whole thing. He helped Scarlett get on the horse without addressing Scarlett’s question further. He didn’t want her to know that Damon had managed to tick him off.“Oh, I see….” Scarlett muttered.However, that was not the truth at all. In actuality, Francis had opted to end the conversation. Damon’s attitude towards Scarlett pissed Francis off, and he decided it was best to step away before they got into a fistfight.Riding on the horse, Scarlett felt strange about the fact that there was a living animal supporting her weight.“Aren’t you going to teach me how to ride this horse then? You’re the one who insisted w

    Eve scratched her head hesitantly and said, “Alright, fine. No point keeping secrets from you anymore. To be honest, Damon is at my place waiting for me.”“Wow! I see. So that’s how it is then?” Scarlett chuckled lightly and retorted.Before Scarlett and Eve could start arguing about what had and hadn’t been revealed, Francis quickly interjected, “Excuse me, but I should go and help her take care of her wounds first. My sincere apologies. I want to make sure I tend to her wounds as soon as possible. We don’t want anything getting infected!”“Okay!” Eve said as she saw him holding Scarlett. She was worried that Scarlett would fall over somehow and end up hurting herself even more seriously.After Francis to

    “I’m sorry, babe. It’s all my fault that you got hurt like this. I’m so sorry, it’s not your fault. It’s my fault. I’ll do whatever it takes to make it better. I never want to see you in pain again.” Francis hugged her and wiped her tears away.“You never liked crying before. You’ve changed since we get married, haven’t you?” Francis suddenly said.“What?” She was surprised.He stretched out his hand to stroke her long hair and said, “I’m just joking. I’m so glad to see that you’re not afraid to be vulnerable in front of me anymore.”“Do you think I’m weak?” Scarlett asked, looking at him with watery eyes.

    Skyler smiled brightly and said, “Anyway, I’d like to go upstairs to write my thesis. Call me when dinner is ready, please!”“Go ahead. Don’t let the baby negatively affect your studies! Go write that thesis,” Scarlett said.Eve sat down and made a funny face at Carlos, “Hey, my sweetheart, do you still remember me?”Carlos lazily looked at her and then closed his eyes; he was totally ignoring Eve.When she saw that, Scarlett laughed loudly and teased her, “It looks like he just ignored you!”“Hmm, you bad boy! You are just like your mother! Always teasing and taunting people, isn’t it?” Eve said as she gently pinched his chubby face.

    “Is Scarlett up yet?” Eve asked.Eve rubbed her sore hip, “She is still sleeping!”“I’d better go and check on her. It’s time to get up for breakfast!” Francis stood up.After Francis left politely, Eve and Damon were left alone in the living room. It was awkward, to say the very least.Eve was about to leave, but Damon stopped her,“Where are you going?” Damon said.“I want to have breakfast!” She calmly looked up her hands behind her back.Damon leaned on the sofa, his legs crossed, and gold-rimmed glasses were sitting on his nose. “Come over and have a sea

    Eve continued crying.“I really don’t know what I should do. Your family doesn’t like me, and your mother always hates me. I just couldn't deal with that anymore...” Eve said.“But you can tell me about that! I never asked you to get along with them, right? And I’m always by your side, never asking you to change!” He yelled out angrily and continued, “But you never thought about how I felt! You made me believe that I betrayed you. At that time, I was so scared that I would lose you, and I felt very guilty for what I did. If not that I had doubts about the whole situation and decided to investigate it, you might have used it as an excuse to stay away from me forever, right?”In those days, he thought of nothing but the fear of her leaving. He felt so anxious that

    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.

He pinned her against the pillar and gazed at her without looking away.“What are you doing?” she blushed as she noticed that he was staring at her.Francis moved his hand from her hip to her waist. He was turned on by her sexy figure– as always.After that, he kissed her fiercely– just like he was kissing her for the very first time in his life.Scarlett was taken by surprise and kissed him back passionately as the fireworks blazed on.They parted breathlessly and stared at each other with lust in their eyes.“I hope you’re glad

I will open the door now!” Eve said with her hand on the handrail.Scarlett and Skyler smiled at each other and felt that there was indeed nothing to be scared of anymore. They had, after all, suffered deeply for two decades. Now that was all over. They couldn’t dwell on the past; it was time to step into the future and embrace happiness.“Go ahead, I’m ready!” she smiled, readying herself for the walk down the aisle.As the door opened, Scarlett walked out with Skyler gripping her arm. He was smiling

    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. I’m sure of it. You have no idea how nervous I’m feeling right now.”Scarlett laughed gleefully. Hearing that Francis was

Eve approached Scarlett and said something in her ear.“Say it again! I can’t hear you!” Scarlett shouted loudly.“I’m saying, don’t be a housewife! Live for yourself now and forever.” Eve shouted loudly.Scarlett just laughed and had a drink with her.“Cheers!” she said.The party didn’t come to a close until 4 am the fol

    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? What do you think?”As the guests left, Eve and Damon checked into the presidential suite at the hotel. When they got in the room, Damon suddenly realized that Eve was on the first night of her period. She may not be interested in having sex with him.“You know I don’t mind that you’re bleeding down there at all, right? A real man braves the red tide.”
