Bell gestured to Scarlett to respond, but Scarlett insistently didn’t say a word. Bell pinched Scarlett’s thigh until Scarlett screamed in pain.“Scarlett? Aren’t you at school? What happened? Are you alright? Is everything okay?” Francis asked hurriedly.“Don’t put your weight on me! And get your leg off on me! It’s killing me!” Scarlett begged as Bell let her leg fall on top of Scarlett’s.As Bell lifted her leg up to let Scarlett breathe, Scarlett came to the window to answer the phone.“Who are you with right now?” Francis was overwhelmed by what he heard over the phone, although he was trying to make sure his tone was still calm. He felt certain that she had gone back to school to see some lover

Because her coat was stained, Scarlett handed the baby back to Francis and retrieved some napkins to try and get the stains out.“Just throw it away. Even if you wipe it clean, it will still have a smell.” Francis said after seeing what she was doing.“It’s Bell’s coat. I can’t just throw it away!” Scarlett yelled.“Don’t you have clothes with you? You mean you didn’t pack anything at all?” Francis frowned. Francis was a neat freak and a germaphobe, and he would never wear someone else’s clothes. He felt sick to his stomach, thinking that Scarlett was clothed in Bell’s clothing right that moment.What Francis said made Scarlett so embarrassed that she put her head down. She had left a couple of

At the moment, Scarlett was half awake and saw her baby struggling to have his meal. She had no choice but to sit up and hold him up, starting to feed him while she kept yawning sleepily.Francis went back to bed and rested his head on his hands to look at the mother and the baby. They were the two most important people to him in the entire world.He felt very happy and satisfied, and this feeling was so much greater than the sense of satisfaction he felt when he would cut a billion-dollar business deal.As the sun climbed up gradually, a busy morning started the new day.Scarlett had woken up so early that she was dozing off at breakfast. Her hair almost landed in the porridge.“Are you that tired, babe?” Francis

“Why is that?” “Because it’s you. Because the father of the baby is you, and so I’m willing to give everything up for you and our child!” She didn’t know if Francis understood what she was saying to him, but this was how she tried to show him love and affection. She was so strong and proud that she didn’t want to be humble because of this love, but she would be like that for him.As for Francis, he believed she was the only one for him, and he had tried his best to keep her around. Together, they had come to new, individual meanings of love, united by a shared vision of their baby’s future. After everything that had transpired– all the fighting, arguments, and deceptions– Scarlett and Francis had finally come to see each other as soulmates

“What a bad-tempered kid!” Scarlett exclaimed as she lowered her head to kiss him on the tip of his nose. The doctor was a kind, old man. He had a colorful lollipop in front, which made Carlos smile and begin drooling. Carlos seemed to want the doctor to hold on to him.Scarlett did her best to hold him steady and took off his pants and diapers, getting him ready for the injection. However, Carlos turned around to look at her in doubt, as if he was wondering what his mother was trying to do.Scarlett noticed that the look he had on his face was the same look that Francis often wore. She was stunned for a while. She couldn’t help thinking that genetics had made her son in the shape of her husband– genes were such a powerful thing, she thought to herself.
