He sat down in front of Scarlett and said, “I will ask the lawyer to handle the division of property, but I only have one condition, I want custody of Carlos.”
“Okay,” Scarlett nodded in agreement and added, “Actually, I can do it without taking your money. 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

Scarlett had her head against his shoulder and just smiled, “Won’t you blame me for being too impulsive?”“Of course not. It would be best if you always did what feels right to you, Scarlett. 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. I’m still young, after all.”Skyler smiled as the breeze outside the cab caressed his hair, “That’s right. We would never have survived wi

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.

“So, what’s going on between you and my uncle anyway? I want to know exactly what’s been going on these days,” he said, “Don’t you think that the two of you made a major decision way too hastily? 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. Why are you coming out here interrogating me? The one you want to be asking all these questions is Francis.”“Well, I really want to ask him about it. But considering the good relationship I have with you, I wanted to talk to you first. Just tell me, what exactly is going on? My poor young cousin has been crying all these days, don’t you feel sorry

He wasn’t capable of that, so he just gave up.“Let me know if you need my help. Even though you no longer have a relationship with my uncle, we are still friends. You know that, right?”“Thank you!” Scarlett smiled as she got out of the car.After that, Chuck drove away along the road, and Scarlett watched with her hands in her pockets until the car turned the corner and disappeared.***In the morning, Skyler got breakfast ready.

Francis was long gone, even as the scent of his cologne hung faintly in the air.At night, Scarlett felt more emotionally fragile than she had in the past few weeks.

Chuck sat down on the little sofa and remained silent.Carlos was a strong boy, and he wouldn’t cry even when he took a fall.

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.

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.
