She'd agreed to the bet that day on a whim, and now she didn't know how to get herself out of this mess. This bet was disastrous for her, as it not only hurt Dylan but also made Macy upset at her, so she needed to find a way to fix things.She took a deep breath and went back into the house, determined to stand her ground and not get swept away by Jonathan's antics."Jonathan Leonard!" Scarlett yelled."Yes, my dear wife?" Jonathan replied cheekily as he raised his head to look at her.Scarlett hadn't expected Jonathan to tease her like that, and she clenched her fists and repeated the mantra in her head, "Don't get upset. Don't get upset …"After she'd calmed down slightly, she took a deep breath and said, "I'll allow you to live in my house, but only if you agree to my terms.""Alright, state your terms.""Number one. You can't take advantage of me.""Take advantage of you? Ms. Langston, don't be such a prude; I've never taken advantage of you, and besides, in this day and ag

"Listen to your mom, Lucas. Though I agree that, with your intellect, you don't need to go to kindergarten, believe me when I say this will allow you to experience what it truly means to be a child. I didn't get to go to kindergarten, and I regret it every single day," Jonathan said sagely with a nostalgic expression."You've never been to kindergarten?" Scarlett questioned incredulously. She was under the impression that rich people like him valued education more than anything else, so she thought that his family would've sent him to the most prestigious kindergarten in the city."Don't look at me like that. It's just that, like Lucas, I was unusually intelligent at a young age, so my family decided to hire private tutors to teach me instead of sending me to school. Growing up, I've never actually experienced what it was like to go to school, so I really want to experience school life for a change," Jonathan replied regretfully."I actually somewhat pity you now … Did you hear your

However, Jonathan didn't mention anything about his work and simply whipped up a feast for Scarlett and Lucas."Wow! The food actually tastes pretty good. Your cooking skills are getting better by the day. Maybe someday you'll actually get on my level!" Lucas praised him through a mouth stuffed full of food. Jonathan was unsure of how to react to such a backhanded compliment."Silly child. Just eat your food. How was school today?" Scarlett asked."I feel as if the people in my class aren't on the same level as me and might even be several levels lower. In fact, they're so dumb that I'm worried that my IQ will be reduced just by being in the same class as them. In fact, the teachers aren't any better either. When I heard them talking about the topics for the class, I really wanted to laugh," Lucas said arrogantly."Tone down the sass, young man. I didn't send you to kindergarten because I wanted you to learn. I sent you so you would be able to interact with your peers like a normal

"Scar, I've been dreaming of making you my bride ever since I fell for you. I've had countless dreams of you in a wedding dress, holding my hand, and smiling brightly. Now that you've agreed to marry me, it feels like all my dreams are finally coming true. I couldn't be happier. Thank you for fulfilling my dreams, Scar." Scarlett had Dylan wrapped around her finger, and he'd completely fallen head over heels for her ever since they'd met in Amerstica.Dylan's words were sincere, and Scarlett really wanted to forgo the marriage ceremony and just marry him on the spot."I know that you love me, and tomorrow, your dream of marrying me will finally become a reality!" Scarlett replied with a smile.Dylan returned her smile before suddenly saying, "Oh, right. I have to take you somewhere.""Where?""You'll know when we get there," Dylan simply replied secretively before helping her into his car.Dylan sped down the highway impatiently, like he couldn't wait to take Scarlett to the lo

Scarlett woke up bright and early the next morning and realized that Dylan's car was already parked outside her house.She got out of bed and made her way to the car to look for Dylan, but quickly realized that there was no one inside. She was just about to go back inside when a pair of large hands covered her eyes.Scarlett yelped in surprise as she heard Dylan's voice behind her. "Guess who?""Dylan! Don't you think it's a bit too early for games like this?""Oh, you guessed it correctly," Dylan said with a smile as he let go."Why are you here so early? Lucas is still in bed." Scarlett had planned to wake Lucas up before going to do her hair and makeup. She hadn't expected Dylan to drop by so early."I'm here to take you to the makeup studio! I've already talked to Macy, and she'll bring Lucas later, so you don't have to worry. We should let him sleep in for a while longer so he doesn't fall asleep during the ceremony."Dylan knew that Scarlet would be worried about Lucas,
