The window! Yes, the window. If the door was a no-go, maybe the window would work! Scarlett immediately stood up and walked towards the window. She tried to push it open to check the height, but the window wouldn't budge. She twisted the handle and shook it forcefully. The window didn't move an inch. Her brows furrowed in frustration... Just then, Mrs. Robert's voice came from outside the door, "Young Mistress, did you upset the Master? He seemed very angry when he left and ordered the room to be sealed. Without his permission, you can't get out. I think you should apologize to him and ask for his forgiveness..." "His temper is so foul. Will apologizing really get me out?" Scarlett doubted seriously. She angrily slapped the window. Wayne, you jerk! She cursed him in her mind. Mrs. Robert asked, "Do you have any other ideas?" Scarlett hadn't thought of any feasible plan yet. She lay down on the bed to conserve her energy. Her brain kept working, trying to come up with a sol
Wayne winced in pain, his brows furrowing deeply. But he didn't push her away. This woman was now pressed entirely against him. Her soft, boneless body seemed to easily stir his desires, making Wayne feel like a pervert. Having such thoughts about a sick woman. He struggled to suppress his agitation. Maintaining an outward appearance of calm and composure. Yet his body was relishing the sensations she brought him. Soon, her grip on his hand began to loosen… Wayne also noticed that her initial bite, which had hurt a lot, was now losing its force. Scarlett's hand slowly slid from his collar, and as she began to slump down, Wayne quickly caught her by the waist, holding her close. "Scarlett..." His voice carried a hint of panic. Scarlett didn't respond. She had fainted. Wayne scooped her up in his arms and began striding out of the room, calling for the driver to prepare the car as he walked. Bryan said, "Take my car. I'll get it ready right now." He ran out to start the car pa
As Scarlett was about to fall, Wayne caught her, his strong arms encircling her waist. He pulled her in tightly. Scarlett's slender body collided with his chest. He held her so tightly that her body seemed to stick to his. His fingers, through the fabric of her clothes, caressed her waist. Scarlett's face turned slightly red, and she cursed, "Shameless!" In her mind, she wondered how someone as brazen and despicable as Wayne could exist in this world. Wayne stared at her angry expression and decided to take her "shameless" accusation to heart. His hand became even more daring, slipping directly under her shirt. His fingertips touched her smooth skin. His breath hitched for two seconds. The sensation brought him immense pleasure, yet he remained highly restrained. Scarlett's eyes widened in shock at his actions, and she pushed hard against him, "Let go of me!" Wayne, both audacious and playful, said, "You are supposed to fulfill your duties as a wife to me. If you don't know
Scarlett saw Belinda and immediately put on a cold face. "What do we have to talk about?"Belinda replied, "Let's make a deal. If you give up Wayne to me, I can help you become a full-time doctor at the Second District Hospital. I remember you once said your dream was to become an attending physician there.""That was in the past," Scarlett refused outright.Her dream hadn't changed.And it never would. Belinda.There would never be any cooperation between them.All Scarlett felt for Belinda was hatred.Belinda wasn't giving up. "I know you hate me. What's done is done. Even if you kill me, it won't bring your child back. Why not use me to achieve your dream?"Belinda knew Scarlett had miscarried. Usually, with twins, if one is lost, the other is hard to keep. Naturally, she assumed Scarlett had lost both her babies.Scarlett looked at her and said, "Belinda, not everyone is like you, willing to do anything to achieve their goals." After saying that, she turned and walked away. Belind
"Who is it?" Mrs. Robert paused, surprised by Scarlett's intense reaction. "It's just me." Scarlett patted her chest, letting out a sigh of relief. She had thought it was Wayne. Thank goodness it wasn't him. "Why are you so nervous?" Mrs. Robert asked. She smiled, "I'm just a bit on edge." Mrs. Robert nodded in understanding, thinking that she must be traumatized from being locked up. Although Scarlett had done something wrong, Wayne locking her up for three days without food or water was indeed excessive. It was no wonder she was so jumpy. "I'll make you something delicious to help you recover," Mrs. Robert said. "I came up to ask what you wanted to eat so I can buy the ingredients." Scarlett thought for a moment and said, "I'd like some dumplings." Mrs. Robert chuckled, "Such a foodie." "I'll head to the grocery store then." Mrs. Robert stomped down the stairs. Scarlett watched Mrs. Robert's retreating figure. Her expression gradually turned serious. She couldn't shake
Scarlett was stunned. When did he come back? How did she not hear him? And what time was it now? Why was he back so early? She tried to wriggle free. "Why are you back so early?" Wayne heard her and thought, is she pretending? He had asked around at the office about his schedule, and now she was acting like she knew nothing? He bent down, resting his chin on her shoulder. "Finished work early, so I came back." The consequence of offending him would be his torment. For the sake of the child in her belly, she couldn't go head-to-head with Wayne. She was an egg, and Wayne was a diamond. The consequence of a head-on clash was simple: she would die. Her death wouldn't matter much, but her child hadn't even seen the world yet. She smiled and nudged him, "Move aside, I need to get some water." The water had boiled too vigorously, and the scalding liquid splashed out, landing on Scarlett's hand. It was hot. She instinctively pulled her hand back. "Hiss~" Wayne
Belinda’s voice was so loud it made Scarlett's ear hurt. Scarlett held the receiver far away from her ear. "Scarlett, you better explain what's going on! If you're playing games with me, I won't let you off the hook!" Belinda had such a fiery temper; what man would like that? Scarlett sighed helplessly. "I don't know why he came back early..." "Scarlett, you did this on purpose to deceive me!" "If you don't believe me, then let's just stop working together." Scarlett couldn't stand her yelling anymore. On the other end, Belinda took a moment to calm down. It wasn't that she wanted to yell; she was just frustrated. She had a chance to be with Wayne, but now they were drifting apart. Wayne was growing more and more distant, and it made her anxious and angry. "I believe you..." Belinda said through gritted teeth. Right now, she had no other choice but to continue working with Scarlett. Even without seeing her face, Scarlett could imagine Belinda's expression twis
"Stop talking nonsense."Wayne kept his mouth shut, so she forced it open, prying his lips apart with her fingers.Her movements were rough.Wayne, "..."He had no choice but to open his mouth and accept the pill Scarlett was shoving in."Scarlett, men like gentle women. You're too wild.""It's not that men don't like wild women; it's that you don't. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean everyone else feels the same. Besides, my man loves my wild side," Scarlett retorted with a big, challenging smile.Wayne's brows furrowed.Wasn't he just asking for trouble with that comment?He knew Scarlett had a man.Why did he even bring this up?The thought of Scarlett lying beneath another man-made Wayne's blood boil, rushing to his head!Suddenly, he lowered his head and pressed his lips forcefully against hers."Mm..."Scarlett struggled, pushing him away. "What... are you doing..."Wayne had already lost all reason. He wanted her. This woman belonged to him.If the past couldn't be cha
The person who entered was none other than Scarlett's father, Andrew "Wayne didn't touch Adrian. Think about it, have you offended anyone else who might want to take revenge on your son?" "Not Wayne?" Andrew was clearly skeptical. "He's lying to you. If it wasn't him, who else could it be? I haven't offended anyone who would target Adrian. It has to be Wayne, no one else." Scarlett asked, "Do you have any evidence?" "Didn't he hit Wayne's assistant’s car? He's still in the hospital, along with one of his lovers..." "Alright, Dad, you should investigate this thoroughly," Scarlett interrupted, not wanting to listen to Andrew's assumptions, especially since they involved Belinda . "Wayne didn't make things difficult for you because of this, did he?" Andrew finally remembered to ask if his daughter had been implicated.Scarlett's lips curled into a cold smile. "It's rare that you remembered me." The sarcasm in her tone was so evident that Andrew could easily hear it. "It's not tha
Seeing her cautious and shocked expression, Wayne deliberately asked in a teasing tone, "You don't remember what happened last night?" The way he dragged out the words "last night" made it sound even more suggestive, leading her mind to wander. "Last night?" She vaguely remembered accompanying Wayne to the hospital and falling asleep on the way back. After that, her memory was a complete blank. How Wayne had carried her to the room and undressed her, she had no recollection of it at all. As she carefully assessed her body, she didn't feel any discomfort. Having been through such experiences before, she knew what signs to look for if something had really happened. Wayne seemed to sense her thoughts and gently tapped her nose. "I wouldn't do anything without your consent." Scarlett inexplicably felt a wave of relief wash over her. "It's getting late. Time to get up!" Knowing she would feel embarrassed, Wayne got out of bed first and left the room, giving her some spa
Scarlett tilted her head up, staring at him with a cold expression. "Let go of me!" Instead of releasing her, Wayne tightened his grip. Scarlett could barely breathe from the pressure.Wayne's face was serious. "The moment you rushed into my arms, I didn't want to let you go."Scarlett's heart skipped a beat. Is that why he didn't call immediately? She stopped struggling. Her face pressed against his chest. With her eyes closed, she could feel nothing but his presence. "Can you tell me where you went on the night of our wedding?" She finally asked. She needed to confirm her suspicions. Wayne's expression faltered for a moment. That night, he had encountered some issues and met Belinda, and then... "Why are you asking this?" he said, his voice low. He really didn't want to bring up Belinda. "I want to know. Can't you tell me?" She looked up at him. "I was abroad, handling company matters," he said. He couldn't possibly tell Scarlett that he had lost control and ended up wi
It was a tiny diamond from Scarlett gown. The diamond fell onto the marble floor, leading towards a flat lawn. Wayne noticed the footprints. Scarlett's gown required high heels, and though she wore shoes with heels, they were the chunky kind, a style rarely seen nowadays, making them easy to identify. He stepped onto the lawn, searching. When he discovered a path, he didn't hesitate and followed it. Scarlett was absent from the party. This could only mean she might have stepped out. The path grew narrower and more secluded, and soon he found himself in front of a rose garden. The sky was dark, and the surroundings were hard to discern. "Help, is anyone there..." Just as Wayne was about to turn back, he thought he heard a voice. He followed the sound, "Scarlett?" Scarlett didn't hear him, so she couldn't respond. Inside the dark hole, she couldn't see anything and was terrified. The area was overgrown with thorny bushes, and everything was damp. She curled
Jackson was equally surprised. Wayne Gray was a well-known bachelor, not only unmarried but also never seen with a girlfriend. He always attended events with male assistants by his side. So, it was indeed surprising to see him suddenly show up with a woman. "What should we do then?" Bella Wells whined, clinging to her father. "You said you would introduce me to him." Jackson certainly hoped to have Wayne as his son-in-law. However, with a woman now appearing by Wayne's side, and without knowing her relationship with him, it was impossible to rashly introduce his daughter to Wayne. "Bella, you should go back for now. Let me find out more about the woman with him first," Jackson said. "Dad, you've been preparing for this for days, and I've been looking forward to it for so long. All this effort just to get you to introduce me to him. Now, if we give up, all our preparations will be wasted!" Bella was clearly unwilling. She had accidentally come across Wayne's photo in a fi
Was Scarlett regretting it? Regretting her past with that man? Otherwise, why would she have said what she just did?"I..." Scarlett opened her mouth, about to speak, but Wayne silenced her with a kiss.Suddenly, the lights went out.It was unclear whether it was a power outage or a short circuit.In any case, the power was cut off. Everything plunged into darkness. It felt like they were back to that night.Yet, they were doing the most intimate thing in the world.Scarlett, as if guided by some unseen force, closed her eyes and did not push Wayne away. Instead, she actively responded to his kiss.Wayne, encouraged by her response, demanded even more.They lost themselves in each other... kissing passionately.In that moment, it felt like they were the only two people in the world.It was a moment where thinking seemed impossible.Their minds went blank, and everything was controlled by the other. "We should break up. I don't love you..."The power came back on suddenly, the lights
Scarlett froze. Wayne's expression changed in an instant. "Mark, you got the wrong person, your mom is over there." An elderly lady quickly picked up the child and apologized to Scarlett, "I'm sorry, the child didn't see clearly and mistook you for someone else. Your clothes..." Scarlett looked down and saw sticky sugar from a candy apple smeared on her pants. She smiled and said, "It's okay." Tonight, there were many people, all bringing their children to see the lanterns. It was understandable that the child made a mistake. Just now, Scarlett had clearly noticed Wayne's reaction and asked, "Do you really dislike children?" It wasn't that he disliked children. Wayne replied casually, "I don't like the idea of you having children." Scarlett thought of the child in her womb, lowered her eyes, and let her hair fall to cover her face. "What if I do have a child?" "How could I ever let you give birth to a bastard to disgust me?" After saying that, Wayne turned around. "Let's g
Her tear-filled eyes were caught by Wayne. She quickly wiped away her tears and forced a smile. If Wayne hadn't seen it himself, he would have thought he was imagining things. She had cried. But why? Was it because Belinda had pulled her hair today and she felt wronged? Wayne walked in. "Do you want me to find a martial arts school for you?" Scarlett was speechless. What was he talking about? "Weren't you upset because Belinda hit you today?" Wayne sat down on the sofa, draping one arm over the backrest while unbuttoning his suit with the other. Scarlett replied, "She's not worth it." Wayne asked, "Then why were you crying?" Scarlett stubbornly denied, "When did I cry?" Wayne frowned so deeply that his brows nearly knitted together. This woman—seriously! He had clearly seen it. Would it kill her to show a bit of vulnerability in front of him? Constantly putting up a facade was truly annoying! He got up and walked upstairs. He didn't bother looking at her.
Belinda quickly let go of her grip and turned the tables, "Scarlett got furious because I told you she helped me. She hit me and insulted me. I had no choice but to defend myself."She positioned herself as the victim."Is that so?"Wayne had already heard from his man that it was Belinda who had lashed out in anger. She could lie without even blushing.His gaze was icy as he stared at Belinda.Belinda, unsure why he kept looking at her, feigned weakness, "You have to stand up for me!" Her shamelessness and ability to twist the truth were truly astonishing.Wayne had seen it all now.If Wayne hadn't arranged for someone to monitor Scarlett and see everything clearly, he might have believed Belinda's story."If she insulted and hit you, tell me, what exactly did she say?""She called me... she called me shameless, said I was trying to seduce you, blamed me for telling you the truth. She even scratched my neck with her nails. If you don't believe me, look."She deliberately tugged at he
