Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56“How ungrateful he is! You helped him get rid of those two annoying women, and now he blames you for not caring about his feelings? That’s nonsense. How dare he ask for a divorce?” Eve stomped around angrily. She couldn’t understand why Francis was behaving so strangely all of a sudden.
Scarlett leaned back on the sofa and stared at the tray of fruit on the table, and said, “You don’t understand. What I’ve done has provoked his ego, and it’s not the first time. I guess no one can endure me. I’m going to die alone.”

After all, it’s your money, and I feel kind of guilty about taking your money for doing nothing, so I’d better not.”When he heard her, Francis was almost going crazy for being pissed off; one more word with her, and he might faint with anger and get taken to the hospital.“You don’t want custody of our son?” he asked again, trying to make

I trust you. I’m here for you, no matter what. You know that, don’t you?” Scarlett tightened his arm on her shoulder. Scarlett said, “Everyone will make mistakes in this life. If we don’t have the opportunity to make our own mistakes and learn from them, then what’s the point of living life anyway? We might as well have done. Besides, getting a divorce isn’t the worst thing in the world. I can recover from this, move on, and still live a full life.

Skyler just said, “Just give it a try and leave here for a while. By the way, your absence will help get this matter out of the limelight that much quicker, don’t you think?”Scarlett took a lighter and a cigarette out from nowhere, and then she lit it up and took a small puff of her cigarette. She stared at the spark between her finger and said, “I haven’t smoked for a long time because of Carlos. I’m about to quit smoking...”“It doesn’t matter if you want one now,” Skyler said.Scarlett smiled helplessly and puffed a smoke ring, and said, “Sometimes, I think we need to change ourselves a lot to cater to someone else.

What’s wrong with you? You’re parents to a baby boy now! You have to be more responsible, don’t you think?”Scarlett turned her head towards him and said dryly, “You should talk to your uncle about that. He is the one who asked for a divorce.

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.
