Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

Because her coat was stained, Scarlett handed the baby back to Francis and retrieved some napkins to try and get the stains out.

“Just throw it away. Even if you wipe it clean, it will still have a smell.” Francis said after seeing what she was doing.

“It’s Bell’s coat. I can’t just throw it away!” Scarlett yelled.

“Don’t you have clothes with you? You mean you didn’t pack anything at all?” Francis frowned. Francis was a neat freak and a germaphobe, and he would never wear someone else’s clothes. He felt sick to his stomach, thinking that Scarlett was clothed in Bell’s clothing right that moment.

What Francis said made Scarlett so embarrassed that she put her head down. She had left a couple of nights ago in a hurry, so she hadn’t taken anything with her. She hadn’t carried any luggage. In fact, she didn’t even have any money! She had had to borrow money from Bell so that she could buy underwear for herself…

“Where is the credit card I gave you?” He said coldly.

“I forgot to take it with me!” She said after she put on her bra and brushed her hair.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

By then, the baby had fallen asleep in his father’s strong arms. Francis looked up to ask, “You are leaving now, aren’t you?”

“What? What am I to you? A nurse? Just someone who feeds your baby and then flies off. Is that what you think of me? He’s my baby too.” She shouted angrily.

“You are the one who wants to leave, so you can leave now!” He said as he patted his son lightly.

Out of anger, Scarlett kicked Francis’s leg. The unexpected action almost woke the baby up, who was sleeping soundly.

“What the hell do you think you are doing?” Francis said angrily

Scarlett was about to push the car door open to get out of the car, but before she was able to leave, Francis just stretched out his arms and grabbed her back.

“Don’t be so angry with me, okay?” He said.

“Let me go!” She said, becoming even more enraged.

“Do you really want to wake him up?” He retorted.

So as not to wake the baby up, Scarlett settled herself down and slapped his hands away. And then the driver started the car.

“Didn’t you ask me to get out?” She pouted as she looked out the window at the scenery that was passing them by.

“Well, he has to have another meal in the evening. Doesn’t he?” Francis joked.

“What? How dare you!” Scarlett stared at him angrily.

“That’s your job! Am I lying?” He said as he took her hand.

Scarlett struggled to get rid of his hand, but she failed and then looked out the window again angrily.

Everything was ready in the villa where Francis lived. When they arrived, Francis took the baby to get out of the car and was followed by Scarlett, who was still very angry. As they walked in, Shirley was waiting for them at the entrance and gladly took the baby from Francis. She really enjoyed looking after that innocent baby.

“The baby’s room has been redecorated as you wanted. Would you like to go upstairs to take a look?” Shirley smiled at Francis.

And then, she saw Scarlett twisting her neck uneasily and asked, “Mrs. Sandler, would you like to change your clothes first? Perhaps a warm bath? Anything you need.”

Since Shirley had been working at the villa for a long time, she knew what Mr. Sandler wanted. She hoped she could provide the same level of service to Scarlet, too, since she was his wife, after all.

“Don’t call me that, please, Shirley. We have not gotten married yet. I would much prefer it if you would just call me Scarlett instead.” Scarlett corrected Shirley.

Francis took a glance at her, and then Scarlett instantly headed down to change her shoes. To end the embarrassment, Shirley just joked, “Well, it will happen sooner or later, so I thought you would have no problems being referred to as Mrs. Sandler. You should learn to get used to it!” Shirley smiled brightly, unaware of all the drama that conspired between Francis and Scarlett when it came to the subject of their marriage.

Under the gaze of Francis, Scarlett didn’t disagree with her again. Instead, she just admitted in a low voice that Francis would be very angry with her and might cast her out if they didn’t get married soon.

When dinner was served on the table, Scarlett was amazed by the fancy food in front of her. However, most of the delicious dishes were not prepared for Scarlett at all because the cooks had been instructed to prepare foods that would suit Scarlett’s strict diet. Scarlett could eat only a few foods, and there was a lot that she had been strictly advised to restrain from eating them– all for the sake of the baby.

When Scarlett saw the food prepared for her on the table, she was in disbelief. Every dish lacked spices or strong flavors, and they were all geared towards helping Scarlett put on more weight. But Scarlett wanted to regain her slender body and didn’t want to gain any more weight. Right then, she regretted everything. She felt upset.

When Francis looked up to see the unhappy look on her face after he took a sip of soup, he just wondered, “What’s up?”

“Well… It’s nothing…” She said after hesitating a little bit. She scooped some of the mashed potatoes and put them in her mouth.

After finishing the unsatisfactory dinner, she was miserable. She felt as though she had made a grave mistake by going ahead with having the baby.

Scarlett went to take a shower and then slipped into the bed in the guest room. When Francis finished up with his business affairs, he walked out of the study room and searched for Scarlett. He was informed by one of his housekeepers that Scarlett had gone to sleep in the guest room.

A while later, Francis came to the crib and sat himself down next to the baby, staring at him. At last, under Francis’s willful gaze, the baby gradually woke up from sleep, groaning and squirming. As the baby woke up, Francis held the baby up and took him to the guest room where Scarlett was sleeping.
