Pampered by the Demon

“And then I changed my mind when I wanted us… Wow! The lunar halo!”

Scarlett saw it in the sky and jumped up excitedly.

She changed the topic at a critical moment. Mike was more interested in the rest of the story than the astronomical wonder.

“What do you want to do with me? Tell me!”

Unfortunately, the lunar halo eclipsed this overbearing man as she was eager to capture it with the camera.

Scarlett waved her hand and pushed Mike away with courage. With the camera in her hands, she couldn’t stop exclaiming at the sky.

“Heavens! The moon with a colorful halo is impressive!”

Mike looked up unhappily. It was a spectacle in her eyes but a boring circle of colors around a bright spot in his eyes.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

And this big circle interrupted her story. He felt annoyed looking at it!

“It’s so dazzling, so resplendent and beautiful!” Scarlett saw it through the lens, and she couldn’t help marveling at it.

“The bright moon in the sky is so clear. The halo is colorful with purple inside and red outside. I can picture it as a confused girl mourning in the dark sky!” Scarlett got a bit emotional.

“It’s just a colorful light attributed to the moonlight reflecting the ice crystals, thus forming thin clouds,” Mike said coldly.

When sensibility was met with rationality and when a romantic girl met a nerd… That was the case with Scarlett and Mike.

“Hey! Can you keep that to yourself?” Scarlett snapped.

He was such a killjoy when describing the beautiful lunar halo with terminology.

Scarlett looked up at the sky through the lens again.

“Do you know that what you see in the camera is another world? In this world, everything, good or evil, will be defined.”

She was going to define this moment with the lens.

She spoke to him in a contemptuous tone halfway through the story. That was fine. But he couldn’t stand that she ignored him all the time.

So Mike was furious. In the end, Scarlett only got a shot of his face rather than the huge moon.

Any photographer concentrated on his subject would be shocked when others popped up before the camera.

Scarlett cried out in fear, made a grimace, and turned her face to the side.

“Get out of my way!”

Mike did not know why he was acting like a kid.

However, when he heard her talk about the other world, it came to his mind that he was the only one for her in this world. When he realized what he was doing, he was already in front of the camera…

Mike snorted when he heard her command.

“What if I don’t?”

“You!” Scarlett was so angry that she pointed at him.

If not for his signature poker face, she would suspect that she was talking to another man!

So Scarlett could only move the tripod, but it interested Mike and he followed her.

It was like a cat-and-mouse game and neither of them stopped.

In fact, only Mike was happy. He seemed to have found long-lost happiness. Scarlett was so angry that she almost pounced on him and hit him. Only then did he give in.

Scarlett was simmering with rage and decided to teach him a lesson after they got back.

The lunar halo only lasted 20 minutes, so she had to hurry up and take a shot. She had wasted a few minutes because of Mike.

When Scarlett aimed her camera at the sky again, an accident happened.

Scarlett howled.

The camera screen turned dark.

Mike threw up his hands and took a step back in silence.

All this was to show that he had nothing to do with the accident.

He was innocent.

“Why does the battery die at this moment?” Scarlett was on the verge of tears.

The camera had only been charged once since she got it. She had thought it would last more days given its strong battery life.

“Did you bring a spare battery?” Mike frowned.

Scarlett shook her head in despair.

“I’m right to call you a wild and stupid cat. Why don’t you carry it with you?”

As soon as he said that, Scarlett exploded.

She stomped her feet and pouted.

“How can you blame me for this? If it weren’t for you when we were about to set off…”

She lowered her voice.

Recalling how he threw Scarlett into the bathtub in the bathroom earlier, Mike cleared his throat awkwardly.

It was probably because they were hungry and dizzy at that time that they made such a mistake.

“Take a picture with my phone.” He took out his phone.

Scarlett shook her head.

“Although your phone’s pixels are very high, there is no way to ensure the quality of images.”

The best mobile phone available in the market was still a far cry from a DSLR camera, in terms of taking photos.

“It’s just a circle.”

“Go away, nerd!” Scarlett was furious.

She believed that he saw everything in the world as a conglomeration of chemistry elements.

It was stupid to talk about art and aesthetics with this geek!

He could tell that Scarlett was mad from the way she talked.

Mike frowned.

Scarlett looked up regretfully. It was about to end. Was she going to miss it?

Suddenly, a battery appeared in front of her.

She looked up and saw a middle-aged man with black hair and blue eyes standing before her with the battery in his hand.

“It should work.” The middle-aged man said in his native tongue.

“Mr. Shields.” Mike recognized him.

This middle-aged man was Colton Shields, Elaine’s father.

“Hey, Mr. Abraham. I just saw a man using the same camera as me, but I didn’t know that man was you. May I know who she is?”

Colton just asked.

“Scarlett is my wife.”

The lights from the lighthouse in the distance swept over, which dazzled her in the dark.

Colton had only seen her silhouette from afar earlier. Now he saw her face in the light.

“Kate?”

Scarlett was stunned with her mouth slightly opened. The look on her face stunned Colton.

Excited, he stepped forward and grabbed Scarlett’s hand. “Kate, are you Kate?”

Colton spoke in another language.

When Scarlett got dumbfounded, Mike hurried to take Colton’s hand off her hand.

Mike tilted his body to hide Scarlett behind him. Although his tone was polite, he held Colton’s hand tight.

“Mr. Shields, you scared my wife.”

Only then did Colton come back to his senses. He realized that he was being rude, but his eyes were still fixed on Scarlett.

“Sorry, Mrs. Abraham looks like an old friend of mine.”

Scarlett looked like his friend so much.

Not only did her facial features resemble Kate’s, but even their dazed expressions were also the same.

“Well, I’m okay.” Scarlett recovered from the shock soon.

Mike looked suspiciously at Colton and then at Scarlett.

Mike was sure that this was Scarlett’s first time in Country E. Colton’s reaction was weird.
