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. "Wayne, let me go!"Her strength was no match for Wayne's, especially when he was this furious.He easily pinned Scarlett's hands above her head, holding them tightly.She tried to kick Wayne off, but he anticipated her move and quickly used his legs to pin hers down.Scarlett was completely immobilized.Fear gripped her heart.This wasn't her first time with a man.But this was entirely different.That night, the man had been gentle with her.But...Wayne was insane!"If you dare touch me, I'll report you for assault!" she threatened.Wayne grabbed her chin, his grip so tight it felt like he might dislocate her jaw, crushing her bones.His face twisted with anger and sarcasm. "You can try, but let's see if you can win."As he spoke, he tore open Scarlett's nightgown.A chill hit her chest.Tears streamed down Scarlett's face instantly.Her body trembled slightly beneath him.What did he take her for?"Scarlett, are you still that pure girl?

    "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

    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

    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.

    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.
