Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

As expected, Francis was delighted, and Scarlett felt he was overwhelmed by happiness.

“Francis, I have to remind you that raising a girl comes with all kinds of costs… clothes and accessories….” Scarlett added.

Francis just laughed loudly and said, “Of course. I will give my girls the best in the world!”

Then, in a more serious tone, Scarlett said, “But Francis, I’m also serious. Besides dresses and jewelry and whatnot, it’s difficult to raise girls in this cruel world. Are you really ready for that?”

Francis kissed Scarlett’s cheek and said, “I’m ready for any challenge as long as you’re by my side.”

After that, Scarlett just said, “How is Carlos? Why hasn’t he talked to me lately?”

“Well, he likes his uncle more than you, so…” Francis said.

When she heard that, Scarlett felt frustrated and said, “How could it be? Doesn’t he love me the most in the world? I’m his mother!”

“Since when did you have such illusions?”

“I hate you!” she said angrily. She knew Francis was just teasing her, but she decided to go along with it.

As it was getting cooler in the room as it became dark outside, Scarlett didn’t want to take a shower. However, Francis insisted that she should take a shower because he had his little plan in his mind.

“Are you really gonna stay here and watch me take a shower?” Scarlett asked after she had taken off half her clothes.

“Of course!” he replied. “That’s precisely what I intend to do.”

Scarlett pointed at the bath mat on the ground and said, “Actually, I don’t need you here to protect me, so you can get out now!”

“No, I have to be here watching you; otherwise, I will be worried about you!” he said.

Scarlett came closer to him jokingly and pointed at her breast, and said, “I gotta warn you, because of this pregnancy, my boobs are going to be huge. Are you sure that you are gonna watch me taking a shower?”

Francis just smiled and then started to take his clothes off slowly.

He joined Scarlett in the shower gleefully.

Francis turned on the shower and let the warm water wash over. He started kissing Scarlett all over her shoulders and neck and then grabbed her waist tightly. Scarlett thought he would eventually stop, but Francis just went on kissing her over and over. She couldn’t lie– she enjoyed every second of it.

Scarlett got up before her alarm clock sounded the next morning. Because of two babies growing in her stomach, she felt quite uncomfortable when she laid down. On the other hand, she felt better when she was standing up.

After she was able to get herself up, Scarlett went to the washroom and knelt down before the toilet. She started to throw up violently. Because she had been doing this every day of her pregnancy thus far, she wasn’t fazed by it anymore. She flushed the vomit away without a second glance and got ready to stand back up. Her bulging belly was getting in the way, but someone helped from behind. A strong arm suddenly came to her support.

Scarlett turned around and smiled at the figure behind her. “Why did you get up so early? Aren’t you horribly jetlagged?”

Francis handed her some warm water and said, “Babe, I’m just fine. How are you? Has the vomiting gotten any easier, or is it still as troublesome as the first day?”

Scarlett sniffed and said, “I can’t do anything about the vomiting! It’s all your fault, don’t you know?”

Francis was stunned; he stroked her hair and said guiltily, “Do you really blame me?”

Scarlett patted her belly gently and said, “You can take a look around you. You’ll find those very few girls my age are married and with a second and third child along the way. Pretty much every girl my age is either studying or building her career… I suppose most of them are just enjoying the feeling of being young… and full of potential….”

“Scarlett, but you’ve been through it all, haven’t you? College, working… we’re in love, we got married, and now we’re having children. I don’t see anything abnormal about that, regardless of your age. Besides, anyone who is in love would follow these steps. Don’t you think so?” Francis said carefully.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Scarlett put her hands on her hips and said exaggeratedly, “Being in love? Are you sure that we have that?”

“Aren’t we?” Francis said unhappily.

“What! Are you really kidding me?” she said. “Did you forget about the time we separated, or was that all just a crazy dream that I had?”

“Sweetheart, I loved you with all my heart even then. So, don’t you think it’s right for me to say that we have been in love this whole time? You don’t need to feel envious of anyone, alright? I hope you know that.”

Scarlett was stunned for a moment. She had to admit that she was convinced even though she found Francis’s logic to be quite strange. What’s more, she adored hearing from Francis that she had been loved by him this whole time. Despite everything that had happened between them, all the drama and the lies, in the end, things seemed to have worked out in the perfect way possible.

Actually, she wanted to laugh out loud, but she held her chuckles back. After that, she pushed Francis away and decided to change into a beautiful skirt.

After spending the early hours of the morning together, Francis drove her to school. As the exchange program was coming to an end, Scarlett had more and more things to finish and turn in on time.

Walking together down the boulevard on campus, Scarlett suddenly burst into laughter.

Francis touched her head gently and said, “Why are you laughing? What crazy ideas are you getting in your head?”

“Crazy ideas? Nothing like that, I just suddenly thought of something amusing,” she said.

“Well, what is it? Aren’t you going to tell me?” he asked.

“I mean… it’s nothing, really. I just think you look a bit ridiculous walking around on this campus. Like, you’re old. And everyone here is young and full of life…” Scarlett had noticed that people around were looking at them a little bit funny.
