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

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

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

"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

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 31
"Beatrice, you are truly foolish, do you know that? You can't even grasp your husband's intentions. It's pathetic," Caroline said, crossing her arms with a haughty expression. "From the very beginning, your husband planned to send your daughter into the Gray family, to become their relative. He didn't divorce you just so he could manipulate your daughter. Yet, you naively believed he still had feelings for you. If he really cared about you, why would he have been with me for twenty years? And how could he bear to let your daughter marry into the Gray family? Sure, the Gray family is wealthy, but Wayne is notorious for his bad temper. Your daughter was practically forced on him. Do you think her life will be easy? If you were smart, you'd divorce Andrew immediately. That way, your daughter could escape this misery sooner." "You're lying!" Beatrice shouted, but her voice lacked strength. Her words carried no weight! Scarlett felt her body waver as she listened. From a young age,

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? Didn't you both have an amicable divorce?" Beatrice asked, puzzled.Scarlett rubbed her face. "I ran away."Beatrice was speechless.But she quickly understood that her daughter wanted to escape a marriage that wasn't meant for her.She understood her daughter.After calming down, Beatrice said, "The world is big. We'll find a place to settle down."Scarlett wasn't so optimistic.From the current situation, it was clear she had angered Wayne.Otherwi
