Francis ground his teeth. He was speechless.

Francis’s car pulled into the parking lot of the Office of the City Clerk. Before getting out, Francis held Scarlett’s hand and asked, “Honey, what’s wrong? Are you… trembling?”

Thanks for the information, Chuck.

Does it have something to do with the baby? Scarlett, talk to me!”“No, Eve, calm down. The baby is fine. I’m fine. It’s just…” Scarlett’s voice trailed off as she struggled to find the words to tell Eve what was going through her mind.Later, Scarlett told Eve what had really happened and expected Eve to give her some advice.“Perhaps he wants something else from her?”“I really don’t understand what’s going on with Francis and his ex-wife.

When she took a look at the time on the clock, she realized that it was eight o’clock, but she still had not eaten dinner. Under his hot eyes, she felt goosebumps all over her body. She was afraid that Francis would scold her for not having eaten dinner and playing games, instead, but when she looked at drunk Francis, she breathed a sigh of relief.“You stink.

Had he been drunk again?No matter what had really happened to him the previous night, Scarlett just felt disappointed and became aware that she was not as important as she thought to him. It turned out that there was a huge gap between them, and it was so hurtful to leave without a word.

Your little girlfriend can’t be enough for you, and I’m your best option.”Upon seeing the torn clothes on the floor, he felt very regretful. The thought that Scarlett knew about this was killing him.“She is carrying a baby now. If you dare to mention what happened here to her, don’t blame me for not having mercy on you.”Vivian just smirked, “Relax, darling! I’ll tell her the truth. I’ll tell her I drugged you, and you treated me like her. Isn’t that what happened? It’s up to her to decide what she wants to do with that information.”

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.

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.
