unexpected love chapter 8: pretending not to know him
"Not seeing anyone," Wayne said as he pushed open the office door. "Get me a cup of coffee." With that, he walked towards his desk. "President Ortiz said if you don't see him, he won't leave today." Wayne glanced back at his secretary. The secretary immediately lowered her head. "Bring him in," he said as he sat down and unbuttoned his suit jacket. Soon, the secretary came in with a cup of coffee, followed by jeff. jeff wore a face full of resentment as he started questioning, "That woman, where did you find her?" Wayne picked up his coffee and gestured for the secretary to leave. Only then did he look up at jeff. "Look at what she did to me!" jeff pointed at his neck, where a visible scar lay, and his wrist was wrapped in bandages. "She nearly severed my tendons." Wayne's gaze briefly lingered on jeff's injuries, feeling a strange sense of satisfaction. Feigning ignorance, he asked, "How did it happen?" jeff, still shaken, replied, "That woman had a knife! Her
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 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

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
unexpected love Chapter 62
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

"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
