“You are free to have a relationship and get married to whoever you choose. And I hope that you won’t be tarnished further for your personal decisions in life. I wish you a happy marriage.”
At the moment, Scarlett was almost about to cry.
She turned around, thanked Mr. Smith profusely, and then walked out.
As soon as she got into the corridor, the levees broke, and Scarlett began sobbing uncontrollably.
“Hey, don’t cry! You are calm inside. Don’t cry now, okay?” Sarah tried to comfort her. In truth, Sarah didn’t know how to comfort her.

As long as you know the truth, nothing else really matters to me. You know that, right?”Skyler looked up at her and said seriously, “I’ll always respect your choice, and I mean it.” Skyler knew his sister very well, no matter how difficult things got, Scarlett had never done anything that would compromise her dignity.

“In the past, you just ran off alone to save Skyler… I know you love Skyler, but why don’t you just let me help?

I’ll make it all better.”Looking up, Scarlett stared into his serious eyes and said, “Francis, you don’t have to keep acting as if you have the answers all the time.

Eve smiled and put one hand on Scarlett’s shoulder, “Well, it all depends on how much influence you can have on Francis, doesn’t it? He’s probably only going to listen to you. You’re the one with the most influence on him.” When she saw Scarlett didn’t answer her, she just brushed her hair and said, “Anyway, I don’t know anyone else who can do this for me, so I can only count on you.”“Won’t Damon be mad at me?” Scarlett glanced at her.“No, he won’t! He’s not like that.” Eve promised her.But Scarlett was doubtful about the whole thing.

“What? Who are you?

It just doesn’t make sense. As long as they are alive, Carlos should have the chance to form a meaningful relationship with them. He’s their grandson, after all! Blood is thicker than water, Scarlett. I know how you feel because of your rough childhood… and everything that happened with your dad… but family is family.”Scarlett looked back at him and said, “Do you know that I almost miscarried?

How hefty is the payout gonna be on this one?“Don’t you see the news?

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.

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.
