Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

“You are my woman now, and everything you have represents me. And I don’t want others to think that I don’t have the ability to provide a good life for my woman, okay?”

Scarlett held his arms and said, “But I’m always afraid that one day, God will bring disasters upon us to punish me for being so happy.”

When Francis heard that, he felt sad for Scarlett, and he understood why she felt like that. He knew Scarlett was very grateful for the happiness she had now, but she was afraid of losing it all because she had never lived with such abundance before. She was afraid of going back to her old life when she had to scrounge and make do with what she had.

“Baby, we’ll never be bankrupt. You have absolutely nothing to worry about.” Francis tried to comfort her.

“I don’t know….” She looked at him blankly.

“Well, you just need to know that I have enough funds for you and our baby. We never have to worry about money for the rest of our lives. Don’t worry.” He said affectionately, touching her cheek lightly.

Suddenly, Scarlett had something flash through her mind as she stood there in the middle of the boutique store. With a burst, she said to Francis, “You even gave your ex-wife two hundred million as alimony, so it’s not a big deal for you to purchase a handbag for me. Is it?” She had an accusatory tone in her voice.

With that, Scarlett turned to the saleswoman and said, “Please help me pack up the three handbags I just looked at because I want them all!”

“Thank you very much, and we look forward to seeing you next time! Please make sure to view our selections online, ma’am. We have new stock coming in all the time: from Paris, Milan, Tokyo, and Sydney.” The saleswoman reverently handed the credit card back to Francis after she had picked up the bags.

Francis carried the wrapped bags and pulled Scarlett to himself and explained,

“The decision I made had nothing to do with her, it was just a business decision.”

“Don’t try to justify your actions from the past!” She pouted angrily.

“Hey, don’t be mad! Anyway, it’s a little late for that, right? How about I put the estate of that company in your name?” He said.

“No, I don’t want that, although it’s worth several hundred million. That doesn’t belong to me. I would never steal something.” Scarlett resolutely refused.

After that, Scarlett turned to leave. Right then, she ran into the last person she felt like seeing. It was Jennifer and Claire. They were walking towards her.

“Wow… what the fuck? It really is my lucky day, isn’t it?” Scarlett frowned and muttered under her breath.

“Don’t talk like that! You are a mother now!” Francis urged.

As they came closer, Jenifer ignored Scarlett completely. Instead, she went straight up to Francis. She extended her palm to shake Francis’s hand and said, “Well, what a lovely coincidence, Mr. Sandler. Fancy meeting you here.”

Out of politeness, Francis shook her hand in greeting.

“Mr. Sandler, what are you doing here?” Jenifer asked curiously.

Claire was taken aback when she saw Scarlett and Francis walking out of the store next door together, hand in hand.

“Scarlett, I’m so glad to see you again!” She smiled as she brushed her hair.

“I’m here to accompany her to do the shopping, and we are about to go back home now!” Francis answered.

Jennifer finally shifted her gaze to Scarlett as she stood next to Francis. She looked her up and down. “So, are the two of you dating? My apologies for being so forward. But isn’t that the truth?”

“Well, we are not dating!” Scarlett explained uncomfortably.

“Scarlett, who was the baby you carried last time we met? The baby you took to the hospital to see the doctor.” Claire interrupted.

“Well, that’s my son, Carlos Sandler! And I will introduce him to you next time.” Scarlett smiled, pretending to have no idea about Claire’s plotting.

“Sandler? Is he the son of Mr. Sandler?” Jenifer wondered as she elegantly smiled at Francis.

“Yes, he is our son, and he is ten months old now.” Upon hearing that, Jenifer and Claire were shocked. Without a second to lose, Scarlett said goodbye to them and got out of there.

“Mum, she has married Francis! I can’t believe it!” Claire cried out.

“Stop crying! I have told you before that you would not be able to make him fall in love with you!” Jennifer said helplessly.

“But Scarlett is nothing. How can he be in love with a girl like that? It’s ridiculous. It’s absolutely absurd!” Claire was fuming.

“Now they are married, and you can’t do anything to change that, so you can stop thinking about him from now on. Besides, she suffered, too, didn’t she? Maybe she’s earned it. Do you want to suffer as she did for the reward at the end?”

With all the waterworks, Claire had managed to ruin her makeup completely. She looked like a raccoon with mascara streaked all over her cheeks. “If I could be with him, I’m willing to live a hard life as she did.”

But Francis would never give her a chance. He wouldn’t even look at her twice. What a cruel and sad world it is for lovers.

Around ten in the morning, Skyler’s flight from Paris to Irvine arrived at the international terminal.

“Skyler! I’m here!” Scarlett yelled out and waved frantically at her little brother as she saw him walking out of the entrance.

Skyler looked up and saw his sister waving at him wildly. She was wearing a white shirt, loose black pants, and flat white sneakers. She had a small bundle in her arms. Skyler hurried over and hugged Scarlett.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“Sis, so good to see you!” Skyler smiled brightly.

“I’m so glad you’re here!” Scarlett smiled and hugged him back. Meanwhile, the little baby between them started wailing.

Skyler looked down and looked into a pair of beautiful and dark eyes.
