Chapter 103
Dey looked at the ice-cold Scarlett and suddenly felt that she was like a hedgehog.
As he drew nearer, she brandished the thorns on her body, deterring him from taking another step.
He said with some frustration. “I don’t want you to pray, nor do I need you to please me. As long as
you’re healthy”
Scarlett was prepared for a major altercation with him, yet she was taken aback when he uttered that
word.
She gazed blankly at Dev, yet he smiled warmly at her.
His smile was faint and clean, without any scheming.
He seemed to be paying attention only to her physical condition just now, so he asked more questions.
Dev spun around, grabbed the plate from the table and gave it to Scarlett. “Have a bite to eat first.”
Scarlett did not respond. Her dull eyes stared at the food on the plate in a daze.
“Miss Sales?”
Dev called out to her. Only then did Scarlett slowly raise her head to look at him.
Her eyes were filled with tears, but the expression she revealed was extremely indifferent.
When Dey saw this kind of gaze, his heart suddenly tightened uncontrollably
It was as if he had done something wrong to her, making him feel extremely guilty and nervous.
Just as he was about to speak, she interjected, “You said that it is fine as long as I’m healthy, then why
did you treat me that way five years ago?”
Scarlett originally did not intend to mention the past, but the words he said suddenly touched her
heartstrings.
She really could not understand. He clearly wanted her life, but now he said that as long as her body
was fine.
What thoughts could have prompted a person so full of contradictions to utter such words?
Dev was stunned for a few seconds, and an apologetic look appeared on his face.
Five years ago, he had just lost his memory, feeling unfamiliar with everyone and everything.
However, Scarlett came to him every day and explained it over and over again, which made him very
annoyed.
He uncovered some information and his perception of her changed. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
That was why he ordered the security guards to throw her, who was still kneeling at the door, out
This was the most excessive thing he had done to Scarlett, which made him feel guilty until now.
“Sorry, I didn’t send someone to drive you away on purpose. I just felt that you were a little annoying,
so…”
Dev was a little embarrassed to continue. It was true that he had done something inappropriate.
Even if Scarlett had been scheming at that time, he should not have ordered several men to carry her
and throw her out. It was really disgraceful.
Scarlett was actually asking why he wanted to kill her.
Dev replied to another matter.
He probably didn’t want to admit what he had done back then, so he tried to change the subject.
Scarlett didn’t ask anymore. For a coward like him, it was meaningless to ask more.
Her silence made Dev a little confused.
When she came to pick him up at the airport, he apologized, yet she still didn’t warm to him as usual.
Now that he apologized to her again, she still did not have any reaction.
Could it be that she was not referring to this matter!
However, he had only done this one thing and had not done anything else that had let her down.
Dev couldn’t figure it out. He opened his mouth to ask something else, but Scarlett said lightly. “Mr.
Gatsby, please send me back. Thank you.”
In fact, the was not qualified to ask Dev to send her back, but her legs could not move, so she could
only ask for his help. Otherwise, she would stay in his villa until her legs recovered.
However, she did not want to stay with Dev.
Her indifference and alienation made Dev slightly frown.
“Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Gatsby.”
Scarlett, as if fearful he would not send her away, added.
Since she so desperately wanted to leave, Dev did not try to keep her.
He handed the plate in his hand to Scarlett. “Have some breakfast and I’ll take you back.”
Scarlett had no appetite, yet upon hearing that he had consented to send her back, she meekly
accepted the plate.
