unexpected love chapter 23
The moment Wayne's imposing figure stepped into the private room, Scarlett froze.Her entire body stiffened.Harrison stood up and greeted him respectfully, "President Gray."Wayne's gaze moved lightly over Carlos face and landed on Scarlett.She usually went without makeup. Ever since he had known her, she had never worn any. Her daily attire was always modest and conservative; he had never seen her in a spaghetti strap dress before.The vibrant red color made her skin look even more radiant and flushed.Noticing that Scarlett hadn't moved, Carlos reached out and gave her a slight tug. "Stand up and greet him. This is President Gray."However, the moment Carlos's hand touched Scarlett’s arm, Wayne's expression darkened. If not for his remaining sense of reason, he might have rushed over and pulled Scarlett away.Scarlett stood up, her form-fitting dress underlining her curves perfectly.She exuded an unexpected allure.Wayne lightly fluttered his eyelashes, a glint of light quickly d
unexpected love chapter 24
How did Scarlett end up interacting with Wayne? She had just overheard Wayne talking about divorce. What on earth was going on? She crept closer,trying to eavesdrop on their conversation to find some answers.Sitting in the car, Scarlett suddenly felt deflated, like a wilted flower. She was dejected and downcast. This was the hardest decision she had ever faced.If she left, she would be breaking her promise to the Old Master Gray .Without his help, her mother might not have been able to get the surgery she needed. She owed him a debt of gratitude. Leaving now would make her seem ungrateful. She was deeply troubled. "You..." She suddenly lifted her gaze. "You were so eager to divorce me. Now that I'm willing, why are you hesitating? Don't tell me you've fallen for me?". Wayne's expression froze for a moment before he let out a cold laugh. "I'm not divorcing you because I want to keep you around and make you suffer! Fall for you? Keep dreaming!" Scarlett bit her lip. This man was t
unexpected love chapter 25
She instinctively took a step back. Jeff gave her a once-over, despite her disheveled appearance, he couldn't deny her beauty. The red dress she wore outlined her allure. His gaze darkened involuntarily, but remembering how she had hurt him multiple times, he only wanted to catch her and settle the score. He stepped out of the car, "Seems like we have quite the connection, don't we?" Scarlett turned and bolted, but with his previous experiences, Jeff was quick to block her path, "Where do you think you're going?" Scarlett's face turned pale with fear. She knew all too well what kind of man he was. "Scarlett, right? Did you grow up eating ginseng or something? Do you have any idea how much my nose bled after you hit me?" Jeff had never been 'bullied' like this before! She was the first! As he spoke, he advanced step by step. Scarlett, barefoot and holding her high heels, kept retreating. Her eyes were filled with caution as she watched him. Chris ,who had returned, saw this
unexpected love chapter 26
Over there, Christopher didn't show any sign of recognizing Scarlett Norman in front of Belinda and relayed the message word for word.Wayne's expression showed signs of softening.Belinda pleading on behalf of Scarlett was somewhat surprising to him."I'll take care of it," Wayne agreed.His swift agreement wasn't because of Belinda.He didn't want Scarlett to be out in public, dressed provocatively, and doing hostess work because she doesn’t have a job, nor did he want her chatting about those kinds of things with men online!Even now, the thought of her discussing such matters with another man was something he couldn't accept!Christopher said, "I understand," and hung up the phone, relaying Wayne's exact words to Belinda.However, Belinda wasn't particularly happy at that moment, as Wayne hadn't agreed to meet her.The next day.Scarlett arrived at the dance studio, and Principal Blackwood took her hand, thanking her profusely. "President Gray agreed to invest! Thank you so much.
unexpected love chapter 27
Scarlett thought about the relationship between Belinda and Wayne. Right now, because of what Belinda had done to her, she couldn't even look at Wayne without a scowl."I'll do whatever I want. It's none of your business!"She had been too panicked earlier. When she found out she was pregnant, she wanted to get rid of it. But when someone threatened her child, she lost her mind.She was terrified of losing it.Terrified that someone might hurt them. Belinda knew she was married to Wayne.She must have thought the baby was Wayne's.So she tried to harm her child?In her anxiety, she had forgotten that Bryan was right there, leading her to act out of line.Facing Wayne's fierce gaze, Bryan quickly explained, "I didn't see anything."He hurriedly pushed Scarlett out of the car, afraid that Wayne might take his anger out on him, and drove off in a rush.Scarlett's lips tightened into a thin line as she glared at Wayne, her eyes filled with intense hostility.Wayne's brow furrowed deeply.
unexpected love chapter 28
Scarlett snapped back to reality, hurriedly adjusting her expression and smiling, "Oh, it's nothing." Just then, it was work time, and Belinda arrived. Seeing her, Scarlett was about to open the car door when Wayne grabbed her hand. "If we're going to pretend, we need to do it right." Scarlett looked utterly confused. She blinked her clear, bright eyes. Before she could say anything, Wayne had already moved closer. Instinctively, she tried to step back, but Wayne wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace with a charming smile. "We're supposed to be a couple. We need to act like one." Scarlett swallowed hard, meeting his ambiguous gaze, her cheeks growing warm. Wayne lowered his eyelids, his thick lashes casting shadows, his eyes sparkling like stars in the night sky. "Kiss me." Scarlett, "..." Christopher, "..." ... The air seemed to freeze for a moment! Wayne reminded her, "Belinda is here. Don't you want to make her jealous?" Scarlett bit her lip, e
unexpected love chapter 29
"I want to talk to you," Belinda declared confidently, her voice steady and assured.Wayne glanced at her indifferently and asked, "Need money again? How much this time?""I'm not here to ask for money. I'm pregnant, and it's yours," she said, pulling out an ultrasound report and handing it to him.The report actually belonged to Scarlett, taken when Belinda performed an amniocentesis on her. However, the name on the report was Belinda's.Belinda hadn't done the amniocentesis to check if the baby was Wayne's. She did it to have something to show Wayne.Wayne didn't take the report, but his eyes did glance at it. The dates matched up, but he wasn't going to believe it that easily."I know you won't believe me," Belinda said, having come fully prepared. She handed him a container from a cooler, "These are the fetal cells from the amniocentesis. You can have them tested."Wayne's expression finally changed, not to joy, but to a probing look as he studied Belinda. "I don't know why you'v
unexpected love chapter 30
This time, Jeff was taken aback. If she had continued to resist, Jeff would have thought it was normal. But now, not only was she cooperating, but she was also suggesting something thrilling. This was unexpected. "Are you serious?" Jeff asked, still skeptical. "You've already tied me up like this. What tricks could I possibly pull?" Scarlett tried to make her expression look relaxed and cheerful. Jeff stared at her for several seconds. Perhaps driven by curiosity, he picked up her bag. He actually found the pills inside. Jeff held them in his hand, reading the label. It said Viagra. Scarlett smiled and said, "See? I wasn't lying." "Why would you carry something like this with you?" Jeff frowned deeply. She always gave off an impression of being proper and pure, her appearance was that of an innocent girl. Could she have a wild side too? "Do you really think I'm a good girl? With you, I've always been playing hard to get. Hurry up and take it, so we can have some

unexpected love Chapter 71
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
unexpected love Chapter 70
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
unexpected love Chapter 69
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
unexpected love Chapter 68
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
unexpected love Chapter 67
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
unexpected love Chapter 65
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.
unexpected love Chapter 64
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
unexpected love Chapter 63
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
