Pampered by the Demon

Scarlett recalled what happened back then. She remembered that she pushed Wendy into the swimming pool.

Although it was not deep, Wendy was still choking on a few mouthfuls of water. Then Mrs. Lauren was furious.

Scarlett’s mother was frightened. She was afraid that Allen would drive her and Scarlett out, so she beat Scarlett hard with a mop. She didn’t even stop when the mop was broken.

Scarlett always remembered that it was so painful with the red lines on her body.

Her mother was crying while beating her. As for Allen and Mrs. Lauren, they sat on the sofa, watching her being beaten. They didn’t stop it until Scarlett was covered in bumps. Then they asked her mother to drag her back.

She stayed in bed for three days before getting out of it. It was fortunate that she wasn’t seriously injured as such a little kid.

Although Scarlett sounded casual and made light of it, Mike was still enraged.

He hated the Laurens who were lunatics. He also hated himself.

Why wasn’t he with her when she suffered great pains in her childhood?

Why couldn’t he find her earlier?

“I can endure being beaten. After all, it was my fault for pushing Wendy into the pool. However, Wendy, she…” Tears welled up in Scarlett’s eyes at thought of that scene.

Mike couldn’t help but ask when he saw her trembling.

“What did she do?”

“She killed Myke. After being beaten, I stayed in bed for three days. On the fourth day, I got up. The moment I opened the door, I saw Myke’s body. It was wet all over. It was tied to stones and drowned in the pool. It still licked my palms wagging its tail to cheer me up that morning. But in the afternoon, it died…”

It made Scarlett extremely painful.

She had no friends or family. Her mother was so coward and bullied her. Only this puppy was her companion.

But Wendy drowned it so cruelly just because she pushed her into the pool.

Mike understood how important that dog with the same name as him was to Scarlett. Seeing that she burst into crying, he reached out and held her in his arms.

Scarlett said in a muffled voice, “Mike, why is she so ruthless? Myke is so cute, how could she have the heart to kill it?”

“I’ll get even with her for that,” Mike said in a deep voice. He gently stroked her long hair, “I promise!”

It was cold on this rainy night, but Scarlett felt warm after weeping out her grief.

Scarlett told Mike all that Wendy had done to her and vented her anger and grievance. When she finally calmed down, she realized that she had been leaning against Mike.

He had been holding her in his arms and patiently listened to her. Scarlett didn’t find his shirt wet with her tears until she finished complaining. She was a little embarrassed at that.

“We can’t keep a dog now. When the new villa is decorated, you can keep one called Skyla a year later,” he said generously after listening to Scarlett’s misfortune.

“Why do we need to wait for a year?”

Mike looked at her stomach and didn’t answer it.

He was about to get her pregnant and it was not good to keep a pet during pregnancy.

Scarlett could not understand.

“Why do you call it Skyla?”

It confused Scarlett.

“Have a guess.” Mike smiled and looked at her with an evil leer.

Scarlett was dumbfounded, “Mike, you’re not that stingy, are you?”

Was he deliberate just because she accidentally kept a dog with the same name as him?

“Anyway, I’ve compromised and allowed keeping a dog that sheds a lot. Don’t ask for too much! Just call it Skyla!”

Mike said that possessively.

Scarlett was dumbfounded again.

Their conversation was a little poignant, so she started another topic.

“Mike, are you going to buy houses again?” Scarlett wondered why he bought more with so many properties.

“It’s already done. One is a villa in City B, and the other is a medieval castle in Country F with a private manor. They can take a vacation there when City B is in the flood season.”

He started to do this when he intended to get Scarlett pregnant.

“You’re so rich.” Scarlett curled her lips.

Mike was staggeringly wealthy who bought two luxury houses so easily.

As for her, she was managing to make a living. Besides, she still owed him so much money.

“I’ve been to the castle. We can raise two pure-bred horses in the manor so that my children can play there. Do you prefer the medieval style or a modern one?”

“The former. But my preference doesn’t matter. It’s not for me.”

Scarlett was slightly shocked when he mentioned children. Did he think so ahead?

When he had his children, she would pay off her debts and be away.

“Mike… Are you going to remarry?”

“No.” He answered without hesitation.

He wouldn’t remarry. It was very inaccurate, so he immediately denied it.

Scarlett heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she was a little upset.

Even if he didn’t intend to remarry now, he might do it one day. After all, he had bought so many houses. He would marry someone else in the future.

He even took children into consideration…NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Forget it. Whether or not he would marry someone else and have children, it had nothing to do with her.

She might be jealous of him having so many luxurious houses she couldn’t afford. That was why she felt a little sad now.

Nevertheless, it had nothing to do with that. She was just deceiving herself to relieve her sadness.

“Then what kind of style do you prefer about the decoration of the castle?” Boss asked.

“If large, it can vary in style. With a few more master bedrooms, you can sleep in different bedrooms in different seasons with only one person until you get old.”

Scarlett spoke somewhat emotionally.

This was her wish.

She loved photography and enjoyed seeking different beauty, but she wished to be with only one person.

She also wished to meet the one who was willing to enjoy beauty and life with her.

Mike remained calm and kept all she said in mind.

“Then it’ll take some time.”

“You don’t have to say it to me.” Scarlett looked at him in confusion. He seemed to tell her to wait patiently.

“Mike, why don’t you go back to the Abraham’s which is so large.”

Since he was in a good mood, Scarlett asked the question she had always been curious about.
