Scarlett handed her a tissue, but Sophie waved it away. “Three years. Do you regret anything? You two spent so much time together…”
“There’s nothing to regret. I had fun with him throughout the years, I honestly only got space in my mind for good memories. I don’t know, like, he sucks, you know? He really sucks. But in the end, all said and done, I don’t hate him. I’m gonna be honest, I don’t hate him. I can’t hate him.”
“Um, Sophie… I know it’s bad timing to tell you this… but I’m actually…”
“Dating Francis.” Sophie interrupted her and smiled.
“Wait, what the fuck? How did you know what I was gonna say?” Scarlett was stunned.
The beautiful cellist who broke her arm lent her cello to Scarlett. She accompanied Scarlett to practice hoping that Scarlett would be able to play well, so she wouldn’t have to feel so guilty for letting the whole orchestra down.“Scarlett, we are practicing solo now, but you should try to keep up with the overall rehearsal tomorrow, okay?” Young also joined their practice, giving timely guidance when necessary.“I…I’ll do my best.” Scarlett was not too confident in her abilities because she hadn’t practiced in a while.The melody of “The Virgin Mary” was somewhat familiar to her, but she hadn’t touched the strings for a long time. The task before her was challenging. Still, she persevered and managed to get the hang of the melody.
But today, he found it sharply painful to hear her closing words.“It’s so finely sliced, and it’s still super fresh. Why don’t you have a little bit now, eh?” Vivian asked.“No, thank you. Leave it here, and you can go.”“Oh, did I interrupt your sweet weekend with your beautiful girlfriend? But where’s she?” Vivian looked around the room.“She's not here right now. You can go.”“Are you having trouble?” Vivian couldn’t even hide her smile. “Messing around with a college girl like her really hasn’t been your brightest idea, Francis. She’s young and attractive… you’re old and set in your ways. Of course, yo
Sophie was under careful monitoring in the ICU. Even though she was saved from danger, she was still unconscious because of excessive loss of blood. Bell and Niki got the news, and they rushed to the hospital immediately. When they saw Scarlett in the corridor, they were stunned and doubted if Scarlett was the one who just got rid of the hand of death.“Oh, babe…You look so terrible. You must have been so scared.” Bell immediately came to her side and took her into her arms.“It was the first time I’ve seen so much blood. It was so horrible. I thought I would lose her.” Scarlett couldn’t keep herself from sobbing.“I heard that Jeff is gonna get married tomorrow. When did they break up? I didn’t know anything about it!”
Scarlett, not even hearing Sophie’s question, reached for a piece of watermelon. Immediately, Sophie hit her hand, trying to get her attention.“Ouch! What the fuck? Why did you do that? What’s wrong?” Scarlett shook her hand and cried out in pain.“Watermelon? For a pregnant woman? No way.” She handed her an apple and said, “Here. Eat an apple. Take it.”Scarlett frowned. “Can I have a peach instead?”“Peaches will make you feel really warm inside. Like, uncomfortably hot. You don’t wanna eat that.” Sophie put the apple in her hand.“Wait, what? I don’t know what you mean.” Scarlett looked confused.
“Well… she sent me an invitation!” Sophie took out a delicate invitation card from her bag and handed it to Scarlett.“What the fuck? She's getting married?!” She looked at it in surprise.“Yes, and the dude is apparently super-rich and hot, too!” Sophie sat beside Scarlett and said.“Oh, so she broke up with that other guy, then. The last time I saw her was at a model casting, and she was with a middle-aged man at that time, I think. I mean, he was practically geriatric, but like, I’m not judging...”“Oh wow, look at you getting catty.” Sophie laughed out loud.“Anyway, I'm gonna go and find out who she managed to coerce into actually marrying her
“Incredible. He doesn’t look like the man I saw last time. So Fan is really into old men, huh?” Scarlett whispered.“What about you?” Sophie looked at Scarlett and snickered.“Oh, fuck off. Francis’s not even that old. He’s charming as hell. You don’t know what you’re talking about anyway,” Scarlett rolled her eyes and said.“Oh? You think you’re better, Fannie then? Are you getting a sense of superiority now?”“It’s just… I’m just wondering, like, what these guests must be thinking of Fannie right now… they would probably think of me in exactly the same way at my wedding.”“Come on, save your sappy
He knew. He just didn’t care because he needed some way to vent.“The present result shows that Mrs. Sandler is healthy according to all the criteria listed here. But she is thinner than she is supposed to be, so maybe you should pay more attention to her diet. In general, according to Mrs. Sandler’s current physical condition and unforeseen complications aside, she will give birth to a healthy baby.” The doctor said with a bright smile.Francis breathed a sigh of relief and shook the doctor’s hands again, “Thanks a lot!”The doctor smiled. “Mrs. Sandler seemed a little anxious today. Remember, it’s important for a pregnant woman to be looked after with utmost care.”“Yes, of course. Thank you, doctor.&rdq
Scarlett opened an illustrated book titled A Letter To Daddy and Mommy. On the first page, there was a small, lovely baby with a note that read, “Daddy, Mommy, I am coming to your side. Please be sure to love me.”She kept turning the pages and found many carefully written notes and marks with strokes. She put her hand on the book and touched the marks. She recognized the familiar font, and her eyes turned red.These notes and marks were certainly left by Francis. She was not expecting this. She could not have imagined that the ever domineering Francis had been working so hard to prepare to be a qualified father.Scarlett was holding the picture book and tears kept falling from her eyes, wetting the pages. Maybe it was
