Alice had fallen asleep right after eating some snacks, so Scarlett got some moments of calm and quiet all to herself. Just as Scarlett got tired and nodded off silently, the train arrived at the small station in Manbuca.
Scarlett shook Alice awake gently, and the two hurriedly took their luggage and followed their teammates to the front. It was very cold at four o’clock in the morning. Scarlett tightly buttoned her thick down jacket but still felt cold deep in her bones.
No one bothered to talk in such weather along the way since opening their mouths meant expending energy.
The bus that was supposed to pick them all up had not arrived yet, so the group, with six people

“Oh, I’m sorry to hear that,” Mr. Underwood turned to Alice and said, “Make sure you sleep properly tonight, Alice.”Then the group followed Mr. Underwood and headed to their residence in the village.Everyone was relieved when they saw the house they were going to live in for the following month. It was located right next to the primary school, which meant it would be very convenient for them to get to the school every morning. Apparently, it was an old house but was clean and well-equipped with almost all the supplies they would need in their daily lives.Everyone set their luggage down inside the house and immediately decided that the two girls would take the rooms on the second floor, and the four boys would share the two rooms on the ground floor.

“Good, good, everyone is right! I’m happy for you because you all learned some important lessons from the game! And one more thing I want to tell you is that our life is just like a basketball game– we have ups and downs in it, that is…sometimes we shoot and score, but sometimes we get blocked and find no way out…” Scarlett looked around and smiled at the crew of kids.“But no matter what happens, you have to stay determined and just keep going! Victory belongs to those who fight till the last minute. Just like our MVP today, Feynman Young!” Scarlett encouraged the kids to give warm applause for the most outstanding player in the game and then dismissed the kids for doing whatever they wanted.After another busy day, Scarlett returned to the house and laid down on the sofa.

Students were all excited to hear this good news, and everyone was cheering loudly.It turned out that the special fund for developing education in ill-conditioned areas also covered the fees for building supporting facilities like libraries and gyms.Since the good news came two days before the teachers were getting ready to leave the school, a big farewell party was arranged for them.

“I haven’t been in a relationship before…” Scarlett murmured. “I know it may sound ridiculous, but I’m afraid of commitment. But you’re just different. You’re so special to me, so I convinced myself to take a step further."“But you know what, I don’t know how to deal with a relationship. For the past twenty years, I’ve always been in a tug-of-war with my damn life, and I got no experience of truly falling in love with anyone. So I don’t really know what I’m doing when it comes to romance. You have to teach me, Francis. I need a coach.”Francis’s chest was warm, and Scarlett felt a great sense of security leaning on his body. This is what she had wanted to do most for the past ten days.Scarlett looked up at him, “I&rsqu

After lunch, Scarlett laid on the sofa, and Francis was about to leave for the company. Suddenly, she received a call from Eve, inviting her for a girl’s date.“Eve? Eve Crawford? Since when do you know her?” Francis frowned and repeated that name with a displeased tone. Because of Chuck’s engagement with Eve’s sister, Tiffany, he knew a bit of that girl and knew she was notorious for her extravagant and wanton lifestyle.Scarlett looked at his face and knew exactly what he was thinking about. She rushed to his back and said, "Hey, I can be friends with whoever I want. Don’t interfere in my personal life like that.”Francis was checking his schedule on the tablet, so he was scared by Scarlett’s sudden appearance behind him.

With her red lips and her sexy figure, Eve was wrapped in a form-fitting black dress that made her look like a dangerous rose. Scarlett, wearing the white dress with the low back, looked so stunning that all eyes were on her.“A small gift to our beautiful superstar.“ Scarlett was immersed in looking in the mirror and didn’t notice that Eve had left for the counter to pay for the two dresses.“Oh, sweetie, it’s too much. I will give you back the money.”“Come on, it’s my great honor to pay for such a gorgeous lady.” Eve gave a gentle pat and said.“Oh wow, are you, my new sugar daddy!” Scarlett jokes.“Oh yes!

Her dance enlivened the bar all of a sudden, with more and more people joining in to sway to the music. A man was pushed forward by the crowd to dance with Scarlett. He and Scarlett danced intimately, touching each other’s shoulders and back and holding each other by the waist.

Scarlett couldn’t resist that hot and heavy kiss and responded to it with her tongue. Her white dress was now split open till her waist, and Francis was gently massaging her breasts. That beautiful dress now hung from her body like a rag.“I don’t want to have sex in the study. I don’t know, but it’s kinda like…sacrilege? I don’t know what the right word is… I just feel kinda weird about it, you know?” Scarlett suddenly stopped the kiss and made an announcement that sounded awkward to Francis.Francis didn’t mind her words and quickly pulled the zipper. Scarlett shook her head, but it was just in vain. Because as she said, Francis’s always the one who calls the tune! All of a sudden, Scarlett felt her body was split open by fiery heat.

When Scarlett woke up, it was eight o’clock in the morning. She rolled around in bed for a few moments before sitting up. 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. He kissed her neck and tousled her hair.

She looked as pretty as ever.“Of course I miss you, but I can’t do anything about it, right? I can’t cry on daddy’s shoulder as Brittany did.” Francis said. 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

I’ll be gone for a month,” Scarlett said one evening.“Why do you have to be gone for such a long time? Can’t you just get one of your associates to go instead? 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.

I feel nervous,” he said in a low voice.“What?” Scarlett asked curiously.Francis was standing in front of the window of his study room with his hands in his pocket, looking out at the vast, blue sea outside.He took a deep breath and smiled, “I said, I’m much more nervous than you are.

At this moment, Carlos took Shannon by the hand and walked in slowly, and said, “Brittany, mommy is tired. Please go play by yourself.”But Brittany just ignored him and took Scarlett to jump on the balcony. She was excited about the big blue swimming pool in front of them and said, “Mommy, I want to swim.
