unexpected love Chapter 40
If it weren't for the fact that Scarlett was injured, he might have strangled her right then and there. Marrying him, did she have to endure such humiliation? Scarlett pretended not to hear him. But her trembling eyelashes betrayed the fact that she was still awake. Wayne closed his eyes, forcing himself to suppress his anger. He took a deep breath, sat down on the edge of the bed, and reached out to touch her face. Scarlett couldn't hold back and turned her head away. Wayne chuckled, "Not pretending anymore?" "Pretending? I just woke up," she said lazily, stretching on purpose. "What do you want?" "You're my wife. Of course, I have to check on you," he replied, still smiling. "Has Mrs. Robert been taking good care of you lately?" Scarlett nodded. Mrs. Robert was indeed wonderful, taking care of her meticulously. Her quick recovery was largely thanks to Mrs. Robert. "When will you be discharged?" he asked. Scarlett would rather stay in the hospital than go back to the vill

Scarlett stared at him, feeling that he was up to no good. Sure enough, Wayne let out a light chuckle and said, "Seeing you in a tough spot makes me happy." Scarlett was speechless. She retorted coolly, "You have a strange hobby. If someone didn't know better, they'd think you were insane." With that, she sat down on the bed. Her body felt much better today, and after moving around a bit, she was now tired. Glancing at the clock, she saw it was almost nine o'clock. "Aren't you going home?" she asked. The more she wanted him to leave, the more Wayne refused to go. "Where would I go when you're here?" he said, leaning back casually. Scarlett ignored him and lay down on the bed, trying to sleep. Wayne spoke again, "Tonight, I'm sleeping here with you." She pretended not to hear, wrapping herself tightly in the blanket, as if afraid he would come over and try to steal it from her. Watching her actions, Wayne couldn't help but smile. Her behavior was somewhat endearing. He tugg

Scarlett didn't deny it. "Seeing you two having problems does make me quite happy." She didn't fully understand the relationship between Wayne and Belinda, nor did she care to. All she needed to know was that Belinda cared deeply about Wayne. Being with Wayne would definitely upset Belinda. That was enough for her. Wayne appreciated her honesty. He pulled her close by the waist and flipped her onto the bed. Scarlett panicked instantly. She stuttered, "W-what are you doing? This is a hospital! What if someone sees us? Have you no shame?" Wayne smirked, "So, you're saying it's okay as long as it's not in a hospital?" "N-no, that's not what I meant," Scarlett denied it immediately. No way! She wouldn't want anything to happen between them, no matter where they were. She had only said those things to provoke Belinda! Wayne looked at her, his eyes burning with desire, yet he was still trying to control himself. The drugs in his system were indeed affecting him, but he wasn't co
unexpected love Chapter 43
The person blocking the way was Caroline. Andrew had come to see Scarlett to plead on behalf of Adrian, but Scarlett didn't help. Now, her son was going to jail. Although it wasn't for a long time, he would still have a criminal record. Even if he completed his studies, many future opportunities would be limited. Caroline was both furious and resentful. She held a grudge against Scarlett for not helping. She thought Scarlett was cold-hearted and unfeeling. Today, she was here to embarrass her. She even brought reporters. She knelt down in public! Yes, she wanted to create a scandal, making everyone believe that Scarlett was an ungrateful girl who wouldn't lift a finger to save her own brother. Crying and accusing, she said, "Adrian is your brother! How can you just watch him suffer? Has your conscience been eaten by a dog? He's your only brother..." Her tears and cries were so convincing that anyone who didn't know the situation would think she was deeply wronged. The hos
unexpected love Chapter 44
Mrs. Robert was usually a calm and composed person. So why was she so flustered now? Scarlett put down what she was doing and asked, "Mrs. Robert, what's wrong?" Mrs. Robert handed her the phone. "Look at this." Scarlett's eyes fell on the phone screen. It was a post about the incident that happened earlier that morning. The post had been edited to make her look like a terrible person. She didn't need to think hard to know who was behind this! Caroline's antics that morning were all for this moment, weren’t they? With the internet being so advanced, it was easy to start an online smear campaign. All it took was some money to buy traffic, and people would believe anything they saw without questioning the truth. Some people, with their twisted views, could even drive a good person to despair. She remembered a news story she had read recently. A girl had asked a delivery guy to bring groceries to her father. The girl was grateful for the delivery guy's help and tried to give him
unexpected love Chapter 45
Wayne hadn't been interested at first, but after Carlos's nudge, he glanced up at the stage. Under the spotlight sat a stunning figure at the piano. He raised an eyebrow, genuinely surprised. Surprised to see Scarlett at this event. Surprised she could play the piano. Carlos said, "Miss Norman is quite talented. My wife told me she’s also an excellent dancer." Wayne's gaze remained fixed on the stage. Scarlett placed her slender fingers gently on the piano keys. Her body relaxed, and with a slight press of her fingertips, the first note rang out. The rhythm followed, smoothly and orderly, creating a beautiful melody... Carlos, who knew nothing about piano, was eager to share his excitement with Wayne. "I put so much effort into developing this drug. Without your significant investment, we couldn't have developed it so quickly." Wayne was here today because he was an investor. He had equity and a say in decisions. "Later, we need to discuss the pricing strategy. Do you have t

Wayne knew her skin was fair, but only by touching it did he realize how delicate and smooth it was.It felt like a feather brushing against his heart.He craved this sensation, a feeling that utterly captivated him.Scarlett's eyes widened in shock, her pupils trembling.What was he doing? No. This couldn't happen.Given her current physical condition, she absolutely couldn't engage in such activities with a man. However, today Wayne was being even more audacious!She couldn't break free from his grasp, so she steeled herself and bit down on his lips that were causing chaos on hers!Wayne winced in pain, loosening his grip slightly, giving Scarlett the chance to push him away.She glared at him, her eyes blazing with anger, and demanded, "Wayne, what do you mean by this? Do you think I'm some woman who casually sleeps with men?"Wayne looked at her, his expression tinged with a hint of confusion. "Aren't you?" Scarlett almost raised her hand to slap him, but she held back.She could

Wait, isn't that Wayne?! What on earth is he doing here?! Scarlett felt like she had seen a ghost. She quickly pulled her hand back, rolled up the car window, and armed herself with sunglasses, a hat, and a mask. She was convinced that her escape plan was foolproof and that Wayne hadn't yet realized she had run away. Wayne being here had to be a coincidence. He must have other business to attend to. With that thought, Scarlett felt slightly less anxious. She hunched down, burying her face in the steering wheel, praying he hadn't seen her. Knock, knock— The car window was suddenly tapped. Scarlett, like a quail, refused to open the window no matter what. Meanwhile, the car in front of her wasn't moving either. Growing anxious, Scarlett honked the horn a few times. Wayne stood beside the car, his gaze cold and menacing. At this point, she was still stubbornly resisting? Not getting out of the car? Fine. Very well. He wanted to see just how long Scarlett could stay inside the c

Wayne liked the feeling of her clinging to him. He smirked triumphantly. Lowering his eyelids, he said, "Don't you know if I'm strong or not?" Scarlett was utterly confused. "How on earth would I know if you're strong?" she thought Wayne must be out of his mind! Wayne's eyes held a deeper meaning, "You know." Scarlett couldn't grasp the hidden meaning behind his words. She just thought they were talking past each other. Outside the hospital, Wayne was afraid Scarlett might catch a cold, held her a bit tighter. As the driver opened the car door, he gently placed her inside and adjusted her coat. Scarlett looked up and saw his serious and caring expression, feeling a subtle flutter in her heart. But she quickly dismissed it. A man who could push her down from the second floor and disregard her life wouldn’t be kind to her. She didn't believe it. Her expression turned cold again. Wayne asked her, "Are you cold?" "No," Scarlett replied curtly. It seemed she

Wayne closed the door and started walking toward the window at the end of the hallway. Bryan followed him. "You've known Scarlett for a long time. Tell me about her," Wayne said, facing the window. He stood tall with one hand in his pocket, his broad shoulders and narrow waist creating a striking silhouette. Even his shadow cast on the floor was pleasing to the eyes. Bryan thought to himself that Scarlett and Wayne would make a great couple, like a match made in heaven.After a moment of contemplation, he asked, "What do you want to know about her?" "Everything." Bryan organized his thoughts before speaking. "Scarlett was an excellent student, always at the top of her class. After graduation, she excelled at work too. The director of Vincal Hospital held her in high regard. As for her personal life, she was pure..." He paused. "Scarlett used to be a good girl. She never dated anyone during school, even though many boys liked her. She received a lot of love letters, but she

Wayne immediately pushed open the hospital room door and saw Scarlett, her leg still in a cast, slumped over the side of the bed.He frowned, "What are you doing?"Before the words were fully out, he was already at her side, helping her up while trying to suppress his anger. "Your leg is like this, and you still want to run?"Scarlett gently shook her head. In her current state, she couldn't run even if her legs were fine; she had no strength left.Her chest was numb from the engorgement."I'm just thirsty."It was only then that Wayne noticed her lips were cracked and bleeding.His eyes softened, and he said gently, "I'll get you some water."Scarlett lay back on the bed, staring at the ceiling, and weakly asked, "Wayne, why won't you let me go?"Wayne paused as he poured her a glass water. He knew he had feelings for Scarlett.But because she had been with another man, he couldn't bring himself to admit it, not wanting tocompromise his pride.Even though he had feelings, he kept th

Belinda's face turned ashen with fear, stuttering, "Y-you, why are you here?" Wayne strode forward and kicked her aside, his eyes dark and menacing. "How dare you deceive me!" Belinda fell to the ground in a disheveled heap, scrambling to get up in panic. "I didn't deceive you..." Wayne had heard everything she said, and yet Belinda still tried to hide the truth! He had once held some sentiment for Belinda because of that night, but now... He just wanted this woman to disappear immediately! "Mrs. Robert, keep an eye on her!" Wayne called Chris, instructing him to come and deal with Belinda. After hanging up, he looked at Scarlett, who lay on the ground, her breaths faint and weak. Hesitating for a moment, he then quickly moved to her side, squatting down. His hand hovered uncertainly before finally daring to touch her cheek, his voice trembling as he softly called her name, "Scarlett." He never imagined that it had been Scarlett that night. His heart quivered with emoti

Chris rushed over to try and stop it, but it was already too late. Scarlett had fallen from the upstairs window. Wayne, with a cold demeanor, ordered, "Take her away." With that, he turned and walked out of the room. Henry glanced down from the window. Although it was only the second floor, it was still high enough to cause injury from such a fall. He felt a twinge of sympathy but didn't pity Scarlett. She was the one who had challenged Wayne first. Why did she have to run away secretly? They had spent months searching for her! Downstairs. Scarlett lay curled up on the ground, her whole body aching, but her legs hurt the most. She shakily reached to touch her leg bone, knowing that her leg was likely broken. Chris ordered his men to pick her up. There was no gentleness, just rough and simple actions! Scarlett was too weak to resist. She was like a boneless rag-doll, dragged along by them. Even though this was Jeff's territory, Wayne had come prepared with many men.

He walked in and sat down, a fake smile plastered on his face. "President Gray, long time no see." The private room was dimly lit. Wayne lounged lazily in the shadows. No one could discern his expression or emotions. Wayne asked, "Did you need something from me?" "I heard that President Ortiz has a collaboration with Grand Prix Corporation. But then, I also heard that the CEO of Grand Prix Corporation has regrets?" Wayne's voice was neither too loud nor too soft. Yet it struck Jeff like a bolt from the blue! He knew it must be Wayne's doing. His heart bled, but he kept a calm facade. "It's just a collaboration. If it falls through, so be it." Wayne chuckled lightly. "President Ortiz is very magnanimous. But if the collaboration fails, I wonder how much President Ortiz will lose?" Jeff's face twitched slightly. Wasn't this just a deliberate jab at his sore spot? He knew Wayne was known for his ruthless tactics. He had come prepared, catching Jeff completely off gu

Before Scarlett could respond, he spoke first, "If you don't want anything to do with Wayne, and you've already broken up with your boyfriend, why not be with me?" Jeff had asked Scarlett whose child it was. Scarlett said it was her boyfriend's, but they had broken up. So now, the child had no father. "No..." "Don't be so quick to refuse," Jeff interrupted her. "We've known each other for a few months now, right? I've treated you well, haven't I? We could be considered friends, right? You can't stay here forever. If you don't want Wayne bothering you, you need an identity..." Scarlett looked at him, lost in thought. She really couldn't stay here forever. Once she left, Wayne would eventually find her. "I can be your shield. You can tell Shane that your child is mine," Jeff said mischievously. His mischief was directed at Wayne. Even though the child wasn't his. But making Wayne think it was. Is Wayne going to be furious? "No way," Scarlett refused. She didn't want Wa

Upon seeing Beatrice, Scarlett quickly shifted her gaze to Jeff. What does he mean by this? Why did he bring her mother here too? Her expression darkened. "Scarlett, this gentleman said he's your friend and brought me to see you. And here you are," Beatrice said as she walked briskly over. Scarlett smiled at her mother, "Mom, please go inside first." Though puzzled, Beatrice nodded and went inside. Once Beatrice was inside, Scarlett's smile vanished. She glared at Jeff. "What do you mean by this? Isn't it enough to capture me? You had to bring my mom too?" Jeff glanced at her. "Weren't you clever when you were dealing with me? How come you're so confused now?" Scarlett still didn't understand. "Who knows what kind of evil plan you have?" She eyed Jeff warily. This man had tried to take advantage of her multiple times. Could he possibly be a good person? Jeff's previously smiling face slowly turned cold. "I see you don't recognize a good deed when you see one!"Scarlett s

Should we leave now?" Beatrice asked anxiously.Scarlett looked up at her mother. "Mom, don't panic."She was also trying to stay calm."Why is he looking for you?
