unexpected love chapter 9: old master Gray's plan
Everyone was puzzled. How could it be such a coincidence? Both of them had something urgent? Belinda also sensed something was off. If she had misheard earlier, what about now? Her eyes darted back and forth between Wayne and Scarlett, trying to figure out what was going on. "Dr. Norman, what urgent matter do you have?" she asked cautiously. Scarlett wanted to blurt out that she was wayne's wife and let him explain everything to Belinda. But in reality, she didn't dare. She couldn't afford to offend this man. Having already lost the chance to work at the Second District Hospital, she couldn't risk losing her job here as well. So, she shrank back like a quail, "My grandpa called me back for something urgent. I couldn't refuse. I didn't expect President Gray to have something urgent too. What a coincidence, haha—" She forced out a laugh. She hoped to muddle through, but Wayne had to stir the pot. "Coincidentally, my grandpa called me too. Where does your grandpa live?
unexpected love Chapter 10: Precious memories over little things
A sudden noise startled Scarlett. As she turned around, she accidentally knocked over a box, which fell to the ground with a loud clang! Shane glared at her, his immense anger making his expression terrifying. She hurriedly tried to explain, "I... I didn't mean to..." As she spoke, she crouched down to pick up the box. Just as her fingers were about to touch it, her wrist was grabbed with such force that it felt like her bones might shatter. Pain! It felt like her hand was about to break and cold sweat broke out from the intense pain. Wayne's eyes were bloodshot with rage. "Get your filthy hands off it!" With that, he violently shoved her away.scarllet was caught off guard and fell backward, hitting her head on the corner of a cabinet. The sharp pain left her momentarily numb, her head buzzing. She could feel warm liquid trickling down and reached back to touch her neck, feeling something sticky. No surprise, it was blood, but not much. She lifted her eyes, peering through a
unexpected love chapter 11: Who did you offend?
Old Master Gray had already anticipated this. At that moment, Butler Ronald seemed to understand as well. "You wanted me to find a heart..." Before he could finish his sentence, Scarlett emerged with a medical kit. Butler Ronald immediately fell silent. Old Master Gray stood up from the sofa, leaning on his cane, and said to Scarlett, "Follow me." With that, Old Master Gray headed towards the study. Scarlett placed the medical kit on the table and followed him inside. Sitting down in the chair behind his desk, Old Master Gray's expression turned sorrowful. "Wayne's parents passed away early. I raised him. During his school years, he stayed in the dorms, and after graduating from college, he moved out of the old house to take over the company. He's been so busy ever since that he hardly ever comes back." Old Master Gray's voice was low. Wayne's father was his eldest son, and the pain of outliving one's child never truly fades, no matter how many years pass. There were reasons w
unexpected love chapter 12: verge of losing her job.
"Dean, why are you asking me this?" Scarlett Norman felt a faint sense of foreboding."You should know that being blacklisted in the professional field means..." The dean hesitated, "It means your career as a doctor might be over. No hospital will dare to hire you."Scarlett was stunned by this sudden turn of events.Her hands clenched and unclenched repeatedly. "Dean, I love this job, and I can't afford to lose it.""Even if I wanted to help, I can't." The dean felt regretful. He had always admired Scarlett's dedication and skill as a doctor.But he didn't have the power to protect her."If you want to keep your job, you need to talk to Wayne. You offended him, so apologize. It's better than losing your job," the dean advised kindly."I..."She hesitated.She knew very well that wayne's prejudice against her couldn't be resolved with just an apology.Wayne's treatment of her wasn't just because she almost damaged his precious item last night. He was also unhappy about her being his w
unexpected love chapter 13: what do you see In Her?
Christopher wasn't entirely sure either.He was equally puzzled when he saw the two of them laughing and chatting over a meal. It was a surprise to him as well.If he hadn't happened to pass by that restaurant, he wouldn't have found out."How about we call Dr. Bryan and ask him?" Christopher suggested.Wayne responded with a nonchalant "Hmm."Christopher went to make the call.About twenty minutes later, Bryan arrived at the company.As soon as he walked in, Bryan said, "I actually have something I wanted to talk to you about...""Do you know Scarlett?"Bryan was cut off mid-sentence. He paused and nodded, "Yes, I know her. She's my classmate from Medical School. She was the one who treated your injury last time."Wayne leaned back into the brown leather sofa, his dark eyes flickering, his long, thick eyelashes trembling slightly. So it was her that day?This was indeed unexpected."By the way," Bryan walked over and sat down, "Wayne, could you be a bit nicer to her?"Wayne raised an
unexpected love chapter 14: Didn't want to marry you!
She had already made up her mind, but the thought of facing him made her hesitate.His violent outburst from yesterday was still fresh in her memory!Taking a deep breath, she mustered the courage to step into the house.As she pushed open the door, she was greeted by Mrs. Robert.With a warm smile, Mrs. Robert asked, "Back from work?"Scarlett nodded and glanced inside, only to see someone sitting on the couch,his face hidden from the view.Mrs. Robert said, "Mr. Gray is here."Scarlett changed her shoes and walked in, forcing a smile as she greeted, "Good evening, Mr. Gray."Wayne put down the financial magazine he was reading and glanced at her.His tone was dripping with sarcasm, "Mr. Gray?"This woman, refusing to divorce him yet acting so distant?Was she playing hard to get?Scarlett had already apologized once, but she sincerely repeated, "I didn't mean to touch your things. I'm really sorry.""Do you really think that just saying sorry will make me forgive you?" Wayne leaned
unexpected love chapter 15: If you want your job back
Scarlett was dreaming. In her dream, two giant snakes were coiling around her, squeezing the breath out of her. Just when she thought she would suffocate, a light appeared, and she grabbed onto it desperately...She thought she was about to be saved, but then she was jolted awake.Opening her eyes, she saw a tall man standing in front of her, his clothes disheveled, looking like he was ready to devour her.She instantly woke up fully, scrambling to the corner of the sofa, her voice trembling and hoarse from sleep, "W-what do you want?"Her voice was raspy from just waking up, with a hint of a tremble.Wayne let out a mocking laugh. Clearly, she had deliberately messed up his robe, and now she was pretending to be scared?"Isn't it you who wanted a man and pretended to be asleep to make a move on me?"Scarlett's breath hitched, her fingers slowly curling up as she stubbornly glared at him, "I did not!"Wayne obviously didn't believe her. "Really?"Without warning, he leaned in closer.H
unexpected love chapter 16: find out who it was that night!
Wayne had not slept in the room where she had spent the night.Everything inside was neat and untouched.She walked in, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and then headed out. She went to the hospital, only to find that her job had been reassigned by the director.There was no place for her anymore.Feeling dejected, she turned around.As she walked out of the hospital, she stood on the steps, knowing deep down that she had no other choice.That evening.She arrived at Green Garden.Standing at the entrance, just as she was about to go in, she saw Belinda.Why was Belinda here?It didn't take long for her to recall Belinda's connection with Wayne, and it all made sense.She stepped inside, almost as if guided by an unseen force, and followed Belinda.She watched as Belinda walked into a private room, but inside wasn't wayne.Instead, it was a wealthy guy from their college days who had once pursued Belinda.Despite his wealth, he wasn't very good-looking, which was why Belinda

Bella hadn't even finished her sentence when Jackson's hand came down hard on her cheek. Bella was stunned. In all her years, her father had never laid a hand on her! Her eyes filled with tears of grievance. "Why did you hit me?" "Didn't you want to be hit? You can slap yourself, but I can't slap you?!" Jackson's voice was filled with anger. "I've never been so humiliated in my life. Now, thanks to you, my reputation is in shambles, and you still have the nerve to cry?" Bella was taken aback. "Dad, how did you know I hit myself?" "Do you think Wayne is a fool?" Jackson stared at his daughter. "I can't understand why you would do such a thing." "I just can't stand that woman being around Wayne. You said you would introduce me to him," Bella choked out between sobs. Jackson nearly fainted from rage. "Yes, I wanted you to marry Wayne, and you like him. That's a good thing. But the premise is that Wayne has to be interested in you. If he's not, what good is my introduction? You

Scarlett had no idea what Wayne meant by that.She quickly said, "I'm not familiar with this place, so I took some time finding the break room. You must be very thirsty! I'll bring the coffee to your office right away."The woman's expression paused slightly.In truth, it was she who had held Scarlett back with conversation, causing the delay.Wayne disliked staff gossiping and whispering during work hours.Had she just broken a rule?Wayne gave her a cold glance before turning and walking away.The woman's heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, almost leaped out of her chest. She thought she was going to get a formal warning.Luckily, she wasn't.She dared not gossip anymore and immediately returned to her workstation....In the office.Scarlett placed the coffee on the desk.Wayne stood behind her, looking at her back. "You don't want others to know your identity?"Scarlett turned around.Had he heard what she said?"I just didn't want to cause you any trouble," Scarlett said

Jackson thought he had the upper hand, but suddenly found himself at a disadvantage. His daughter was clearly more seriously injured! "President Gray, are you blatantly showing favoritism?" Jackson didn't bother with formalities anymore. This was heading towards an all-out confrontation. Wayne had no intention of breaking ties, but he wasn't afraid of it either. "Just like you, I am fiercely protective of my own." He waved Scarlett over. She obediently walked over and sat beside him. Jackson felt Wayne was being completely unreasonable. Bella was his own flesh and blood, his precious daughter. Who was Scarlett to Wayne? "She's just a woman who could be found anywhere and just happens to be prettier. How can she compare to my daughter?" Hearing this, Scarlett felt a sharp pain in her heart. Both were daughters, but look at how different their fathers were. At that moment, she tried to make her expression look relaxed. But she couldn't. Instead, her face gr

Bella Wells walked towards Scarlett. Instinctively, Scarlett took a step back.Luckily, the enforcement officers were still around. She moved closer to them.Although they weren't real police officers, at least they wore uniforms.They should be able to scare off any troublemakers, right?" Scarlett, come here," Bella called out, noticing Scarlett trying to avoid her. She stopped walking when she saw Scarlett retreating."What do you want from me?" Scarlett asked."You lied to me and tried to keep Wayne all to yourself. Last night was the first time I ever apologized to someone, do you know that?" Bella couldn't let it go.She had to get things straight with Scarlett."Wayne was the one who made you apologize. You should go talk to him!" Scarlett replied.Why was Bella coming after her?Did she think Scarlett was an easy target?"I'm not going to him; I'm coming to you!" Bella shouted impatiently. "When you lied to me, you had plenty to say. Now, why are you acting all scared?"Scarle

Seeing Scarlett, Andrew took large strides toward her. "Scarlett..." Before Andrew could finish his sentence, Caroline rushed out, looking aggrieved as she complained to Andrew, "Your precious daughter has no manners at all. She just pushed me hard." Scarlett deeply regretted coming here. Why did she have to get involved in Adrian's business? She must have been out of her mind to agree to ask Wayne for Andrew. Andrew shot a glare at Caroline. "You're an elder. Can you not hold a grudge against a child?" "Is she a child? She's grown up and even married. How can she still be considered a child? She didn't even lift a finger to help her own brother, so cold and heartless. What are you expecting? That she'll take care of you in your old age?" Caroline's words grew more and more agitated. She was still bitter about her son being in trouble. Back then, she had asked Scarlett to talk to Wayne on her son's behalf. But she had refused. Cold-blooded to the core. Andrew kne

Wayne drove her back to the villa, maintaining a demeanor that was nothing short of 'kind and gentle,' showing no signs of anger whatsoever. In fact, he was so nice to her that Scarlett almost believed he was a good person. But the slow boil of a frog in warm water is the most torturous. Scarlett nervously asked, "Are you going to get back at me later?" He smiled charmingly, "No." Scarlett felt her heart ease a little. Could it be that he really wasn't angry? Had he become more magnanimous? "It's late. Go wash up and get some sleep," Wayne said as he headed to his own room. Scarlett stood there for a few minutes, stunned. Could it be that He had changed? Had he really 'turned over a new leaf'? Scarlett returned to her room and sat by the bed for a moment. Wayne didn't come back to settle any scores. It was almost eleven o'clock now. He should be going to bed, right? Scarlett clutched her chest. Indeed, doing something behind someone's back is never a good idea. You never

Scarlett remained motionless. After watching the entire movie, her hand was drenched in sweat. Partly because of nervousness, but mostly because Wayne was gripping her hand so tightly. Even after the movie ended, Wayne didn't let go of her hand. Scarlett had no choice but to follow him. She glanced at the man so close to her and thought, Who said he wouldn't do it? He must have been pretending this morning. As they walked out of the cinema, they were greeted by the bustling night market outside. There were lots of people. Coming and going. Scarlett spotted a stall selling takoyaki in the distance. She wasn't sure if it was because she had watched a two-hour movie and was now hungry, or if it was her pregnancy cravings, but she said, "I'm hungry." Wayne replied, "What do you want to eat? I'll take you." Scarlett pointed to the nearby stall and said, "I want to eat that." "Not hygienic," he said, and without another word, he pulled her along. He drove her to a high-end r

"What... What are you doing here?" Scarlett was stunned. The secretary remained calm and replied, "I came to pick up something for President Gray I need to get back to the office, so I'll be leaving now." After speaking, the secretary walked out, casting a subtle glance at Scarlett before quickly heading downstairs. Scarlett frowned. Although she felt something was off, she didn't think too much about it. After all, the person was Wayne's secretary. Entering Wayne's office was probably like being at home, right? So, entering his room should be understandable too? "Ma'am." Mrs. Robert's voice came from downstairs. Scarlett went downstairs. "You really came back," Mrs. Robert said with a smile. Scarlett nodded, "Yes, I'm back." She sat on the sofa and asked casually, "Mrs. Robert, does the secretary often come to the villa?" "No, very rarely, almost never," Mrs. Robert replied. "It's usually Christopher who accompanies Mr. Gray." Scarlett nodded in acknowledgment. "Why did

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
