“I can promise you this time, there definitely won’t be that problem between us,” Damon said very seriously.
“I don’t believe that!” she said. After that, she realized that she had fallen into his trap all over again and felt annoyed. She really hated her own stupidity.
Because neither wanted to give in, they just stayed quiet. Suddenly, Scarlett felt a deep soreness spread across her legs. She looked calmly at the wet floor and said,
“Are you finished? It looks like my water just broke.”

Eve sat in the wheelchair and peered into the operating room. However, except for many busy doctors and nurses, she saw nothing. Therefore, she turned arou
Eve had rushed after Scarlett, too, eager to see the two baby girls. Seeing the older one in all swaddled up like a burrito, Eve giggled and said, “Oh sweet girl, do you know who I am? I’m Aunty Eve. I’m your godmother!”Right then, Damon came to her from behind and pushed the wheelchair to walk forward. “Hey, what are you doing?” Eve asked.“Well, if you want to be a mother, you can have one yourself.” he smiled as he pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose.Eve was pissed off by what he said and yelled, “Do you think that I can’t?”“Oh? Really?” he sneered.Eve knew what he was saying was a trap, so she just ignored him and didn’t answe
“Well, I want even the first few weeks of their lives to be marvelous and filled with joy. It doesn’t matter that they don’t really know what’s going on right now… I want to be able to show them thousands of pictures from their childhood when they’re older.”Scarlett nodded her head as she touched her chin and got ready to stand up, but Francis stopped her and asked, “What are you going to do?”Scarlett just looked back and smiled at him and said, “I want to go look for Carlos and tell him that his dad is already playing favorites.”Francis laughed and said, “Come back.”Scarlett retreated back on his lap and grasped his collar. “We have to treat all our children equally.”
Three years laterThree years later, in front of the villa, a black BMW drove through the gate quietly. The driver expertly parked the car in the garage and opened the trunk. A second later, a tall woman in a blue business suit got out of the car and then took a small bag out of the trunk. It was, of course, none other than the suave and sexy Scarlett Morris.Scarlett quietly opened the door. She could hear the muffled sounds of the TV coming from the living room.A five-year-old boy wearing a white shirt and a gray cashmere sweater was seated on the sofa. He was watching TV absentmindedly– his eyes were glazed over, and his chin balanced in his hands. He clearly wasn’t paying attention to what was happening on the screen before him, yet there
Scarlett giggled and said, “Well, I wonder who he inherited his stubborn nature from….” She held Francis’s neck and took a deep breath. “What are you doing?” Francis asked.Scarlett just chuckled and said, “You just smell so good.”Francis just smiled, “Oh really? Do you like this scent? I got a new cologne just the other day.”Scarlett rubbed his cheek lightly and said, “I love it. It suits you well. It’s… mature.”It seemed that Scarlett had an endless charm to attract Francis. Even though they had been living together for many years now, he hadn’t grown tired of her just yet. The same went for Scarlett, who had, as time went on, come to appreciate Francis’s quirks a
While Carlos stood there still, Brittany and Shannon just rushed towards the bed to look for their mother.Carlos took a look at them and then looked up at his father and said, “Good morning, Daddy...”Francis just stroked Carlos’s hair and asked, “Have you had breakfast yet?”“Not yet. I want to eat breakfast with mommy!” he smiled. His smile was just like Scarlett’s.When Francis saw that smile, his heart would always soften. He didn’t have it in him to be cruel to Carlos. He tousled Carlos’s hair and let him into the room.Brittany and Shannon were on top of Scarlett at this point. Like noisy birds, they kept chattering into Scarlett’s ears. Scarlett had no
“I’ll be honest: I have no interest in current affairs,” Chuck scoffed, “But a couple of friends of mine called me up asking about you. That’s how I know you were even on TV.” Chuck said.“Ask you what?”“Oh, you know… the usual… they wanted to know if you’re seeing someone at the moment.”Scarlett laughed.“How dare they try to steal my uncle’s woman? They must be blind.” Chuck laughed out.“Fortunately, I’m married; otherwise, you would be very busy.” Scarlett laughed as well.“You are right. But I don’t want to be a matchmaker in life,” he said.
Eve grew up abroad. On account of her mother, she didn’t like her father’s family. Although her mother had never truly uttered a bad word about them, she had been accumulating deep resentment and contempt towards her so-called father as she grew up.When Eve was sixteen years old, a sophomore in high school, she had her first experiencing of sex in the back of a teal sedan. It had all been with some boy she had met only a week ago at a party, and Eve hadn’t cared much for him. She had just wanted to lose her virginity. He was cute and completely inexperienced.She was always passionate, bold, and unrestrained. But she was terrible at school– she just didn’t test well. As a result, she tanked her SATs and ended up at a community college studying botany. It wasn’t the most popular major, but Eve managed to get by.
To get to King Hall, Eve had to walk through a long corridor lined with soft, champagne-toned carpet. There were impressionist paintings on the walls, including big names like Monet and Manet. Eve wondered if the casino had somehow managed to loan them from The Louvre in Paris. She looked around in awe, another shiny pink drink in hand.As expected, there was a sensor on the door. Eve took her phone out from her handbag and leaned against a column, watching people coming in or going out.About half an hour later, a man came out to pick up his phone. At the sight of that, Eve instantly put her phone to her ear and pretended to be having a conversation, “Honey, I’m at the door. I will come back now!”As the man opened the door, Eve immediately grabbed the doorknob and smiled at the man while holding
