Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

As Francis walked in, Scarlett lowered her head to stroke her belly, and a while later, she saw a familiar figure sitting down next to her.

“I’m fine now. Are you scared?” she asked smilingly; although her small face looked pale, her eyes were still bright.

Francis held her hand and said, “Scarlett, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault, if not because of me, you would not suffer so much like this…”Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

He opened his arms and embraced her, and said, “I’m so sorry that I can’t feel your pain.”

Scarlett was about to make fun of him, but before she could do that, he just kissed her face and said, “Scarlett, don’t be afraid. I will protect you, so don’t be afraid…”

Scarlett just smiled and let him kiss her.

After some deliberation, Scarlett and Francis decided to stay at the hospital for the next three days; they decided it was the safest option because they could access a doctor within seconds there.

Scarlett was very tired because she had spent the whole day worrying. As it was getting dark, she fell asleep holding Francis’s hand.

Good night, my babe!” Francis said as he rested a kiss on her lips gently.

But Scarlett wasn’t having a good night at all because she was in the middle of an intense nightmare. All of a sudden, she started crying in her dream.

Having been resting on the sofa not far away from her, Francis woke up suddenly by her crying.

“Scarlett, wake up! Everything is fine, don’t be scared. You just have a bad dream.” he said as he touched her cheek gently.

Her crying gradually became clear, and she seemed to be lost in her dream and cried hard.

Francis felt very helpless; he turned on the lamp and woke her up.

Scarlett woke up in his arms and touched her face full of tears.

“What’s wrong with me?” she asked strangely.

Francis made her stay in her arms and said, “You were crying so hard in your dream… don’t you remember?”

“Did I?” Scarlett asked in surprise.

But the tears on her face proved that it was true, so she had to believe what he said.

“I think I’m just scared…” she said as she looked at her bulging belly.

Because of that, Francis felt very guilty again. He felt guilty that she had to bear the pains of childbirth and pregnancy again, while he felt nothing.

“I’m sorry, babe,” he said guiltily.

Scarlett turned her head at him and reached her hand out to touch his handsome face, “I don’t blame you. It’s all my fault.”

“Of course not!” he said.

“Now I remember that when my mother was pregnant with Skyler and me, she also suffered a lot. Don’t blame yourself. It has nothing to do with you. If you want to blame someone, you should blame me for somehow getting pregnant with not one but two babies!” Scarlett joked.

Francis laughed loudly.

“Isn’t it because of my genes?” he said as he held her and finally felt relaxed.

Scarlett stayed in his arms and drew a circle on his chest, and said, “Well, my mother gave birth to Skyler and me; obviously, we can tell that it’s my genes that are playing the decisive role.”

“OK, OK, it’s all because of you.” Francis conceded.

Scarlett just chuckled and felt sleepy. And then she rubbed her eyes and asked, “Don’t you sleep?”

“I watch you sleep. Be good and don’t cry!” he said; after that, he turned off the light and patted her shoulder gently.

Scarlett felt the warmth coming from his chest and had the familiar sense of security surrounding her, and then she gradually became relaxed and fell asleep again.

While Francis was not very comfortable in the posture, he didn’t want to stop holding her close.

***

Three days later, with the permission of the doctor, Scarlett finally could go back home. Scarlett was eager to return home; she didn’t want to waste another second at the hospital because she really missed Carlos.

Through the car window, Scarlett saw Carlos running around on the lawn; just as she had expected, he was healthy, happy, and carefree. Skyler had taken Carlos to play football in the lawns in front of the villa. Carlos was dressed in a blue shirt and white shorts.

As the car stopped, Carlos held the football and looked strangely in the direction of the car.

He was sweating a lot because he had been playing with his uncle for quite a while; when he saw the familiar figure Francis supported arms, he immediately recognized her and shouted, “Mommy!”

After that, he rushed towards her like a rocket. He threw his favorite football away and ran towards Scarlett.

Right then, Skyler also walked over, and then Scarlett gave him a big hug. Skyler said smilingly, “Welcome back home!”

Francis checked Carlos’s back and found that it was full of sweat, so he pinched Carlos’s fat hand and said, “Morning exercise ends here. Get in and drink some water!”

As a result, Carlos put his hands around his neck, and he just stared at his mother.

When they got in, Skyler teased Scarlett about having another two babies after they divorced.

“Hey, how dare you tease me like that?” Scarlett said as she gave him a hard pinch.

Francis laughed and then took Carlos upstairs to change clothes.

At night, they ate dinner together happily, though Carlos became angry many times during the dinner because he wanted his mother to feed him to eat. He had missed his mother dearly, and he didn’t want his father or uncle feeding him. He had eyes only for Scarlett that evening.

Carlos stopped crying and started eating his meal happily once Scarlett started feeding him attentively.

Scarlett raised the spoon and gave him a mouthful of carrot puree and then used another hand to pat her waist.

“Are you tired?” Skyler said after he saw that.

“I’m fine. I’ve just been sitting here for too long.” Scarlett smiled.

Upon seeing that, Francis put down the napkin and came to sit on the other side of Carlos. He took the bowl from Scarlett and started to feed him and said,

“Be good and eat now!”
