last update Last Updated: 2021-05-11 00:34:00

That man who kidnapped Skyler haunted Skyler and me like a nightmare, and he threatened our safety with every moment that he was alive. So I just couldn’t wait to end that nightmare myself…I’m sorry to cause you so much trouble…But I always trust you, I really do…” Scarlett was a little upset. She didn't want Francis to misunderstand the situation or her feelings either.

“I promise there won’t be next time.” Scarlett looked up at him with watery eyes.

“Never again.” Francis couldn’t help but hold her tight; he wanted Scarlett close to him, always.

Scarlett’s heart was beating frantically, and her cheeks flushed red as if she had downed multiple shots of tequila. For this first time, she gazed deeply into Francis’s eyes without any

    When Scarlett got dressed and came out, Stella smiled with satisfaction, but the photographer seemed scarcely impressed.“Not good?” Stella was puzzled.Andrew walked around Scarlett and mimicked photographing her from every angle. “She's not fit for a static shot,” he concluded, “this girl should be moving!”Stella got his point immediately, and her eyes lit up. “You mean you’re gonna take a short video of her?”“A video clip will be a lot more impressive than a photo.” Andy cleaned his camera lens as he glanced at Scarlett.Though Scarlett had been in some movies and sitcoms, she had just played some bit of roles and didn’t know how to act at all. But a

Since the Intercontinental Hotel is one of the most high-end hotels in Irving and its buffet is famous and popular among the rich, Scarlett couldn’t wait to enjoy a feast. She had rejected Stella’s money, but she wouldn’t reject this amazing banquet.Indeed, as expected, when everybody was drinking and playing games, Scarlett was the only one who buried herself in the delicate food.

As she pulled out her phone to ask Francis where he was, a sleek black car pulled up in front of her. Scarlett opened the door, climbed in, and fell directly into Francis's arms.“Can’t you just rest for a while?!” Scarlett murmured as her lips were sealed by Francis’s. As soon she got in the car, she was warmly welcomed by his passionate kiss.After a while, Francis stopped and said, “I’ve told you not to drink that much!” Scarlett got up from his arms. “You got drunk yourself!” Francis pinched her cheek softly.

    Stella was incredibly excited to see that Scarlett had shot to fame overnight. She and Andrew discussed the cover of the anniversary special edition and ideas for the shoot inexhaustibly.

This meant she would be able to borrow less money from Chuck and still help Skyler achieve his goals.Francis Francis also watched that video, not that he had much spare time to follow fashion and entertainment news.

    Scarlett was still stunned, and she tried to make the whole situation less serious than it felt. “Hey, aren’t you asking for too much interest on the debt I owe you?” Francis remained solemn, "I'm not joking with you. By the way, is Skyler going to Britain?""Yeah, but why?" Scarlett looked at him, alert. She couldn't figure out why he had just mentioned her brother. "If you stay with me, I will pay Skyler's tuition fees and living expenses, as well as take charge of his safety abroad. Very cost-effective deal for you, isn't it?" Francis hardly revealed any emotions from his words.Scarlett sat up straight as well, and her face had now grown serious. "I don't need your money. Do you think you can just buy me like that?" She paused for a while and took a deep breath. "I don't sell myself.” Her voice was shaking, either because of uncontro

I didn’t really mean it, Scarlett.”“Do we have a plan B, Uncle Francis?” Scarlett felt the tension between them was eased, and she dared to ask such a question. “Scarlett!” Francis raised his voice to turn down her bold request. “Then… are you doing this because… because you really love me?” Scarlett lowered her voice and asked very cautiously.“It just can’t be more obvious, you little fool!” Francis was angry at this stupid, clueless girl but couldn’t help but hold her even more tightly.“If you really love

She had never had sex before– this would be her first time. Ever. Her courage had disappeared in the face of Francis’s wanton aggression, and she couldn’t imagine how painful it would be to have him inside her.Francis pounced all of a sudden and pinned Scarlett down again. With one hand playing with her nipple, he sucked passionately on her breasts, alternating between them.This vicious look was definitely not the usually calm and sophisticated Francis.

Even though Francis was a very picky eater, he chewed away at the mutton and ate all the food on his plate.“Thank you for this amazing treat. The mutton is perfect.” Francis finished his meal and wiped his mouth. Scarlett put down the fork and said, “Really? It’s probably because I used the red wine from your cellar.”

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 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

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.

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.
