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~"

    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

    "It was..." Belinda almost blurted out, "Scarlett told me." If she told Wayne the truth, Scarlett might never share Wayne's whereabouts with her again. This time, Scarlett hadn't lied to her. She still had a chance to get close to Wayne in the future. "I came here to learn how to swim," Belinda insisted, biting her lip. Shane's disgust for her grew. At first, she acted like she didn't want anything. Now, she was clinging to him, using every trick in the book. He might never come to this place again because of her. "Belinda, if I had known it was you who fell into the water, I wouldn't have saved you." With that, Wayne walked away. Belinda's eyes reddened. His words were so hurtful. Did Wayne hate her so much that he wished she would just disappear? ... Wayne walked into the house. Scarlett was lounging comfortably on the couch, reading a book and munching on some fruit. He walked over and pulled the book from her hands, glancing at it. It was a medical textbook. Wa

    Scarlett widened her eyes, her hand hidden under her sleeve already clenched into a tight fist.Luckily, she had prepared for this.As expected, Wayne was secretly monitoring her.She had only been to the hospital for an hour, and he already knew?"I caught a cold, went to get some medicine," she replied, avoiding Wayne's gaze.She had only gone to the hospital for an ultrasound. She had spoken with the doctor to erase the record; it wasn't a surgery that required mandatory documentation.To cover her tracks, she had taken some cold medicine.Now, it seemed her thorough thinking had paid off.Otherwise… She instinctively covered her stomach.Wayne noticed her movement and asked, "You have a cold, and your stomach hurts too?"Scarlett quickly removed her hands. "I-I have a cold. Can't my stomach hurt too?"She tried to maintain her composure.Wayne paused for a moment, considering. "I suppose that's possible.""You better not be lying. If the investigators find out you weren't sick and

    Scarlett struggled desperately.

    "So, I really don't know. I wasn't trying to hide it from you."Bryan would have told Wayne if he knew! Maybe then, Wayne would let go of Scarlett. "You're angry because of this?" he asked.Wayne stared coldly at him. "Bryan, do you think I'm an idiot? She doesn't know who her own man is? Now, to reunite with her lover, she's been spying on me, pushing me into Belinda' arms, and using every trick in the book. And you say she doesn't know who her man is?"Bryan listened to Wayne's words and realized he had a point. How could Scarlett not know who her man was?So why was she hiding it from him? Was she afraid he would tell Wayne?"I get it now," Bryan said, slapping his thigh.He looked at Wayne. "This Scarlett, she's even wary of me, you know? When she ran away this time, she didn't let a single word slip to me. She knows about my relationship with you and is afraid I'd tell you. She told me she doesn't know who her man is because she was deliberately hiding it from me, fearing I'd tel

    In the night, he stood tall and straight, lost in thought or perhaps in memories. Scarlett quietly turned away. She didn't disturb him. But Wayne knew she was there the moment she arrived. He had his pride, too. Her attitude was crystal clear. If he kept pestering her, wouldn't that make him look desperate? There probably wasn't another girl in the world like her. The girl who once saved him right here. ... Scarlett sat alone on a bench by the corridor. Butler Ronald noticed her sitting by herself and asked, "Where is Master Wayne?" Scarlett knew, but she replied, "I couldn't find him." Butler Ronald could tell that Scarlett hadn't even tried to look for him and sighed, "I'll go find him." But then he remembered the old master intended to foster feelings between Wayne and Scarlett. The Old Master had sent Scarlett to find Wayne so they could spend more time together, right?He turned back."You should go!"Scarlett looked up."But I...""You are his wife. It should be yo

    Scarlett fell into a long silence. She finally spoke, her words ambiguous, "Regret it? Yes and no." "In the current situation, I do have some regrets." If it weren't for that moment of impulse and unwillingness, if she hadn't given herself away, she wouldn't be desperately trying to escape now because of the baby in her belly. Without that night, she would have been one step closer to her dream. She could have started her internship at the Second District Hospital, and eventually become a full-fledged doctor, a chief physician. Her dream would have come true. Without that night, she wouldn't have felt a shred of guilt towards Wayne. As a wife, she had indeed been unfaithful. "If you didn't have the baby, maybe you could have..." "I don't regret it, because of this baby. At first, I wanted to get rid of him, but as he grew inside me, I could feel his heartbeat. Gradually, I became more and more attached to him, more and more in love with him. Now, I even feel like he's an angel

    Wayne glanced out the window, his stern face devoid of any expression. Only when he thought of someone did a hint of warmth appear. "To the Norman Family." " yes sir, he replied and headed towards the Norman Family residence. In no time, they arrived at the residence. Wayne got out of the car. "Leave the keys. You can go back." "Yes, sir." The driver parked the car and handed over the keys. Wayne took them and walked towards the house. The living room was empty and quiet; Scarlett was nowhere to be seen. He frowned slightly. Could she be out? No, that didn’t make sense. She wouldn’t take the baby out after just finding him. He began searching room by room, starting downstairs and then moving upstairs. Finally, when he pushed open one of the doors, he saw Scarlett.She was lying on her side on the bed, gently patting the baby, trying to lull him to sleep. He walked in quietly, his movements as light as possible, yet Scarlett still noticed someone entering. She turned her he

    Before the lawyer could even begin reading the contents, Caroline couldn't wait any longer. She snatched the document from him, eagerly opening it to browse through the contents. Her heart was filled with joy and anticipation, dreaming of inheriting all the Norman Family's assets. However... The more she read, the paler her face became. By the end, her face was completely drained of color. "No, this can't be. Andrew would never do this to me. This must be fake. It has to be fake!" She screamed in madness, tearing the document to shreds. The lawyer didn't stop her because it was just a copy, not the original. It didn't matter if she tore it up. "You must have all conspired against me!" She glared at the lawyer and then turned her gaze to Scarlett and Beatrice. "You two! It must be you two behind this!" Scarlett couldn't be bothered to waste words with her. She signaled the lawyer to read the will. Caroline wasn't about to give up easily, but Adrian held her back and said, "Mom,

    As she spoke, she noticed Scarlett holding a tiny baby in her arms. She quickly walked over and asked, "Where did this baby come from?" Before she could answer, she guessed, "Is it your friend's?" "It's mine," Scarlett said. Mrs. Robert's eyes widened. "Young Mistress... what did you say? Whose child is this?" Quickly, she thought of something. "Could it be the Master's?" Scarlett shook her head. "No." "What?!" Mrs. Robert was flabbergasted. "If it's not the Master's, then whose is it? Did you have a child with another man?" Scarlett didn't deny it. "Yes." "Scarlett," a deep, anger-laden voice sounded from behind her. Scarlett turned around to see Old Master Gray standing on the steps at the doorway, leaning on his cane. From his expression, it was clear he had heard Mrs. Robert's words. His face was ashen, and he spoke in a steady, yet stern voice, "Come with me." After speaking, she walked inside and headed towards Wayne's study. Butler Ronald glanced at Scarle

    It was Adrian! "Adrian!" Caroline rushed over in a panic, terrified that something terrible had happened to her son. She lifted the metal frame and cradled her unconscious son, patting his cheeks. "Adrian, wake up! Please don't scare me like this, please..." Caroline was genuinely crying. Adrian was her only son, and all her hopes were pinned on him. If anything happened to him, she wouldn't be able to live on. Everything she did was for her son! "Are you stupid? Why did you save that woman who's fighting you for the inheritance?Scarlett's knee was bleeding heavily from the impact, but she ignored her own injury and took out her phone to call 911. She limped over, wanting to check Adrian's condition. Caroline, thinking Scarlett meant harm, pushed her away. "Don't touch my son!"Scarlett stumbled from the push. "If you don't want your son to be in danger, let me take a look. I'm a doctor; I won't hurt him," she said coldly. Caroline, still holding her son and crying, accused

    "It's not up to you to decide who gets the Norman family's inheritance, Caroline. I will find out how my dad really died, and if you had anything to do with it, I won't let you off," Scarlett said coldly. Caroline had just returned, "If you dare to fight my son for the inheritance, I won't let you off either!" "Mom..." Adrian tried to persuade her. Andrew had just passed away, and here they were, arguing heatedly in front of his body. How could the deceased rest in peace? "Adrian, I'm telling you, don't let your father brainwash you. I'm the one closest to you. What does Scarlett have to do with you?" Caroline snapped. Adrian always sided with Scarlett, which made her very unhappy. She believed that Adrian's behavior was all Andrew's fault. He had instilled the wrong ideas in their son! Half-siblings, what kind of bond could they have? Given her own conflicts with Scarlett, it was destined that Adrian could never see Scarlett as family! And now, with the inheritance dispute,

    Scarlett explained in a soft voice.Wayne only had a rough idea of what happened. After all, Caroline had chosen a remote location, and Wayne was clueless about what transpired in between. Hearing Scarlett say that Caroline had tried to harm her, Wayne's nerves tightened. "Are you hurt?" he asked. Scarlett shook her head. Thinking about Julian's injury, Wayne felt reassured. She was skilled with a scalpel; it wasn't easy to harm or capture her. However, she was still a girl, and no matter how smart, her physical strength had its limits. "Be careful from now on," he advised. "If anything happens, contact me immediately." "Okay," Scarlett replied, her clear, bright eyes blinking. "Wayne, I..." She wanted to tell him that she had given birth to a child. But as the words reached her lips, she hesitated, unsure of how to begin. "What's wrong?" Wayne asked. she lowered her head, trying to find the right words in her mind. "It's about last time. I had something important

    Andrew had it all figured out. Once Scarlett vented her anger, he could ask her to take care of Adrian, and she wouldn't be able to refuse him. He had already planned everything. The distribution of the Norman Family's assets was settled in his will. No matter how hard Caroline tried, it would be futile. Caroline knew Andrew didn't have much love for her, but she never expected him to be so cold-hearted as to use the inheritance to threaten her into confessing for Scarlett. "I've been with you for almost twenty years. Don't you have any trust in me? I've told you, I didn't..." "Just tell me, are you going to confess or not?" Andrew cut her off, having no patience for her excuses. Caroline stood there, trembling all over. Though their relationship had never been particularly loving, they had always been seen together, and he had been gentle and considerate towards her. How could he be so heartless now? "I gave you a son!" she shouted, her voice breaking. Andrew remained

    At this moment, his gaze at Scarlett was so intense it felt like it could tear her apart. If looks could kill, she would undoubtedly be dead by now! "I was just..." Scarlett began to explain. But Wayne abruptly stood up, clearly unwilling to hear any of her words or excuses, and stormed out of the dining room. Scarlett tightly pressed her lips together and didn't follow him. Wayne was furious right now; if she approached him, he wouldn't listen to her calmly. It was better to let him cool down first. She would explain once he had calmed down. "Achoo—" Scarlett covered her mouth as she sneezed! Mrs. Robert noticed and asked, "Are you catching a cold?" Scarlett nodded. Mrs. Robert went to get her some cold medicine. "Thank you," Scarlett said. Mrs. Robert smiled warmly, "You're Mr. Gray's wife. Taking care of you is part of my job." At the mention of Wayne, Scarlett lowered her eyes. She put the pill in her mouth and washed it down with water. After eating, she changed i

    Scarlett knew that someone like Julian, a pampered rich kid, was terrified of death. "Let me go," she said calmly, her tone direct. Julian refused to budge. "I don't believe you'd dare to kill me." He thought Scarlett, just a girl, wouldn't have the guts to do it! But what he didn't know was that as a doctor, someone who dared to use a scalpel, she was anything but timid. Scarlett pressed the sharp edge of the broken glass into his skin. Julian felt the pain and touched the warm, sticky blood, his face turning pale with fear "You... you really dare?" He was so nervous he could barely speak! "You wanted to ruin me, and if I don't have the guts to fight back, then I deserve it, don't I?" Scarlett, with the precision of a surgeon, applied just the right amount of pressure. Julian felt intense pain and saw a lot of blood, making it look severe, but it wasn't life-threatening. This was all about her choice of location! As a doctor, she knew the human body well! She kn
