Pampered by the Demon

A scheme by Mike?

Scarlett was interested.

“Let’s go to the café over there.”

The two of them sat face to face. Richard thought of how she looked when she was in school.

It was only a few years since their separation. What had happened to her?

The night they enjoyed the shooting star, he saw Mike hugging her and kissing her. He thought that if she could be happy, he would quit.

However, things that he had accidentally found made Richard feel indignant.

Without the Lauren family’s intervention, the two of them could be a couple.

“Scarlett, is he nice?”This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Well, he’s good.” Scarlett lowered her head, stirring the coffee with the spoon.

[Why can’t I find that feeling of nervousness anymore? It’s so awkward sitting like this.]

“Richard, what is the scheme of Mike that you mentioned?”

Scarlett admitted that she was attracted to this sentence.

Richard was not hasty to answer. Instead, he looked at Scarlett silently.

His heart ached.

She was very focused when she talked about Mike.

Scarlett herself had not realized that Mike had already occupied an irreplaceable position in her heart.

“Richard?” Scarlett was waiting for his answer.

Richard grabbed Scarlett. Scarlett was stunned and immediately broke free of his hand out of reflex.

Mike would often do intimate acts, but other than protesting verbally, she had never been too resistant.

With Richard, her conditioned reflex worked too well.

Well, he couldn’t even hold her hand.

Richard was a little desperate. Scarlett was a very simple girl, so her body would react before her brain.

She had really left the world he built for her.

However, he was unwilling to let go so easily.

“I know.” Richard suddenly said.

“What?” Scarlett did not know why Richard said that.

“Mike drafted a very unreasonable divorce agreement without you knowing. He only gave you five million, but asked you to divorce him!”

He had hired a private detective to investigate Mike’s lawyer who had been confirmed drafting the divorce agreement.

Although it was not confirmed if the agreement had been sent abroad for divorce, such a document had indeed been drafted.

“I know.” This was a “secret” beyond Scarlet’s imagination.

“I signed it myself.”

“What? Scarlett, how can you sign that? Don’t you know how much Mike is worth? Five million is no more than only a piece of jewelry!”

Richard did not expect that Scarlett signed herself. He thought that it was a copy of Mike!

“No matter how valuable he is, he earns by his hard work. I married him for two months and fail to help him much. Five million is a lot.” Scarlett didn’t think that it was unfair.

She had never thought of changing her fate through the marriage. It was better to earn money by herself.

“Scarlett, how-” Could you be such a silly girl!

Richard had been lost for words.

This girl was too stupid. How could she not have the slightest bit of scheming!

“Since you and Mike have already signed a divorce agreement, why hasn’t he set you free? He is using you to stabilize the Abraham Group stock price. When the stock bounces, he will kick you out. He is too shameless!”

“He has his difficulties.” Scarlett often said that Mike was a shameless person.

However, when others talked about him that way, she felt that it was too harsh to accept. She then defended him, unconsciously.

Richard would be no exception.

“If he is thoughtful, how can he divorce you like you are a beggar? He only gave you a little money. Scarlett, you can’t believe such a man!”

“Some things can not be measured by money.” It was Mike who saved her in time, otherwise, she might have died the day when she ate spicy food and vomited blood.

“Richard, thank you for your concern, but I don’t need it. Your gentleness and your consideration should be left to your fiancée. It was my fault that I broke my promise to you. I will make it up to you if I have any chance. But I can handle things between me and Mike.”

“Since you’ve already divorced, why can’t we start over as we did before? I’ll take you away and leave everything you fear. I’ll give you a brand new life!”

They both became stunned by his words.

Richard did not expect that he would say these, but now he unexpectedly felt happy.

He had thought a lot abroad and believed he could forget the season full of the fragrance of white magnolia.

But the moment he saw her, the fort he built in mind was instantly collapsed.

“Richard, do you know what you’ve said?”

“Scarlett, you didn’t leave with me four years ago. I waited almost from sunrise to sunset at the airport. Now I am here and waiting for you. I have always kept this missing ticket for you. Since Mike won’t cherish you, come with me. Let’s leave here.”

“You don’t know what you are talking about. Richard, cherish your own responsibility. Don’t forget, you already have a fiancée!”

As long as a man had been labeled by someone else’s, no one should ever touch him. Otherwise, the one who made the label would be hurt. It was Scarlett’s principle.

Scarlett stood up, took her bag, and prepared to leave. When she passed him, Richard got up.

He could no longer control his emotions. He held Scarlett in his arms and roared.

“My responsibility has always been on you!”

Not far away, a long charred camera took a picture of this scene.

“Scarlett, I don’t know what happened to you. If you don’t tell me, I won’t ask. I only want to ask you, do you want to come with me now?”

Richard hugged Scarlett tightly.

Scarlett struggled to free herself.

“Please stop doing anything beyond friendship anymore. It is very irresponsible to your fiancée and Mike…” Well, wait, what did it have to do with Mike?

It was only a slip of the tongue! A slip of the tongue!

“If you keep saying things that will put us in a bad position, we won’t be friends!”

Under such conditions, any pity would be unnecessary. Heartless was a kind of protection.

If she was greedy for the warmth that Richard brought her, it was unfair to Mi-bah, it had nothing to do with Mike, it was unfair to Richard’s fiancée.

Richard found it hard to accept her refusal.

“You are divorced now. Why can’t we be together like we were?”

“Richard, the pure and innocent feelings of my youth brought me a very good memory. I don’t want to add bad things to this memory. No one’s happiness can be built on hurting a third person.”

Scarlett decisively took a step back, clearly drawing a line between them.

“Time flies by and my old dreams have awakened. The most beautiful time has passed, and we can’t go back. I’m sorry, Richard, forgot me.”

Richard clenched his fists as he watched Scarlett leave without looking back.

He would not give up.

He would know every detail about the marriage between Scarlett and Mike. If Mike bullied Scarlett, he would not let him go!
