“How ungrateful he is! You helped him get rid of those two annoying women, and now he blames you for not caring about his feelings? That’s nonsense. How dare he ask for a divorce?” Eve stomped around angrily. She couldn’t understand why Francis was behaving so strangely all of a sudden.Scarlett leaned back on the sofa and stared at the tray of fruit on the table, and said, “You don’t understand. What I’ve done has provoked his ego, and it’s not the first time. I guess no one can endure me. I’m going to die alone.”“But he is Francis Sandler, I thought he was going to be different… and mature.”Scarlett looked up at her and said calmly, “There is no difference! He is still a man. Men are all the same, aren’t they? It doesn&rsq

Scarlett had her head against his shoulder and just smiled, “Won’t you blame me for being too impulsive?”“Of course not. It would be best if you always did what feels right to you, Scarlett. I trust you. I’m here for you, no matter what. You know that, don’t you?” Scarlett tightened his arm on her shoulder. Scarlett said, “Everyone will make mistakes in this life. If we don’t have the opportunity to make our own mistakes and learn from them, then what’s the point of living life anyway? We might as well have done. Besides, getting a divorce isn’t the worst thing in the world. I can recover from this, move on, and still live a full life. I’m still young, after all.”Skyler smiled as the breeze outside the cab caressed his hair, “That’s right. We would never have survived wi

“So, what’s going on between you and my uncle anyway? I want to know exactly what’s been going on these days,” he said, “Don’t you think that the two of you made a major decision way too hastily? What’s wrong with you? You’re parents to a baby boy now! You have to be more responsible, don’t you think?”Scarlett turned her head towards him and said dryly, “You should talk to your uncle about that. He is the one who asked for a divorce. Why are you coming out here interrogating me? The one you want to be asking all these questions is Francis.”“Well, I really want to ask him about it. But considering the good relationship I have with you, I wanted to talk to you first. Just tell me, what exactly is going on? My poor young cousin has been crying all these days, don’t you feel sorry

Having left her phone at the apartment and with the remote for the television far out of reach, Scarlett had no way to entertain herself and kill time. All she could do was close her eyes and pretend to sleep so she wouldn’t have to interact with Francis too much.Because she was weak, Scarlett managed to actually fall asleep amid all the pretense. When she woke up again, it was four in the morning. Francis was long gone, even as the scent of his cologne hung faintly in the air.At night, Scarlett felt more emotionally fragile than she had in the past few weeks. Lying in the hospital bed, Scarlett held the quilt that smelled strongly of disinfectant and couldn’t help but cry.She cried for her ridiculous persistence and for the loss of a good man. She c

Scarlett played with Carlos all day, and because of that, Chuck had no place to go, so he became bored and started playing video games.Scarlett gave Carlos a shower, and after that, she put a cute yellow robe on him that made him look like a little king.After that, Scarlett lay down beside him, and she started to tell him a bedtime story in a low voice. In less than ten minutes, Carlos fell asleep and started snoring.Chuck stretched himself and took a look at the time, getting ready to look for Scarlett.“Shall we go back now?” He asked. “Isn’t Carlos so cute? He is so cute, and I really don’t want him to grow up.”  Chuck cou
