Chapter 151 Stupid Cat, Stupid Curse
At first, Scarlett thought that Mike came to Country E for business, but he only went out for a while on the day he arrived.
And most of the time, they were having fun together.
During the day, Mike took her to appreciate all the beautiful sceneries in Country E. Scarlett took a lot of photos. Going out for a business trip with Mike was a bonus for her.
He carried her bags, paid the bill, and even acted as a tour guide, though an impatient one.
Every attraction’s features were simply summed up in one sentence.
For example, in the National Museum, his oversimplified introduction was like this.
“This is a place with a lot of things left by the dead.”
Scarlett nodded with a serious expression, waiting for more details.
She wanted to know the stories behind these antiques.
Where did they come from?
It must be easy for him, once a straight-A student, to explain all this.
A minute later, Mike was still expressionless.
“Is that all?”
“Yes.”
He didn’t think there was much worth looking at.
He came here because of her.
Alright.
She shouldn’t have expected a man of few words to change and become talkative during the trip. It wouldn’t happen.
So Scarlett decided to learn more about this place on her own.
In this region, every building was part of history. She needed some information to feel the ambiance.
But the poker-faced man with her didn’t want to tell her, even though he was familiar with it.
So Scarlett made up her mind to look up the place the night before she set off.
However, she failed.
Because she was quite “busy” in the evening…
Mike finally got the opportunity to relish every part of her body and showed her how shameless he could be.
He said, “I will please you during the day, and you will please me at night.”
He put it as if it was very fair.
Scarlett was so tired that she had no time to search for information about this place.
She even had to follow Mike around the next day, with dark circles under her eyes.
Scarlett wanted to be reserved when asked to please him.
Although Mike had found out that she liked him, she wanted to take her time.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
It was better if they could start by holding hands and having dates. Then they should go steady before having sex.
Scarlett would move to a guest room to show that she was rather conservative.
That was her plan.
However, Mike was different. He came straight to her and scooped her up. Then, he shamelessly made a “statement”.
“If you want to change places, just say it. You don’t need to pretend that you don’t want it. I appreciate your honesty.”
Scarlett was lost for words after hearing what the shameless man had said.
“I hate it when you act like this!”
She even swore in her heart.
Mike remained silent.
They would start a family together.
And then they would have kids.
Scarlett pointed at him and said bitterly, “How can you be so brazen to say that?”
“Brazen?” His low voice alerted Scarlett.
‘What are you going to do?’ she wondered.
“Nonsense. Come and let me show you how brazen I am.”
When Scarlett glared at him, he nodded with a serious face.
“Hush. I know what you want.”
“Damn you. You know nothing. Get out of my way.” Scarlett protested in vain.
On the third night in Country E, the presidential suite of Mike quieted down.
Tonight, there was a rare lunar halo.
Mike cut Scarlett some slack and took her to admire the moon.
They were now in a famous scenic area on a relatively high land of the country. There were already many amateur astronomers around.
Scarlett was wearing a high-collared shirt and a pink, winged cap.
Mike was also dressed in casual clothes. They sat back to back on the cushion on the ground.
The hotel assigned a butler to serve them. He placed some snacks on the table for them.
The lunar halo would happen in ten minutes. Scarlett lowered her head to set up her tripod and adjusted the camera.
Mike crossed his hands behind his head and leaned against the tree, quietly admiring her focused look.
“Do you like photography?”
Normally, only two things could calm her down.
One was cooking.
The other was photography.
“When I was in college, I filled in my college application for photography, but I was forced to change it so that I could marry some guy.”
As a result, she had muddled through the four years. ‘God knows how much I hate business school,’ she thought.
Feeling her rage in her words, Mike snorted.
“Are you dissatisfied with marrying me?”
“When I was told that you were going to marry me, I cursed you all day, hoping that bad things happened to you.”
The veins on Mike’s forehead bulged. “Oh?” he asked in a low voice.
It seemed that she had been hating him for a long time.
“Actually, it’s more than that. I even… Forget it.”
Scarlett got the camera ready and was waiting for the lunar halo.
Mike got up without haste and touched the camera.
“What will happen if this ‘accidentally’ falls to the ground?”
“Fuck!” Scarlett mumbled and rolled her eyes.
“Can you act like a normal person? Is this a threat?”
Tell me what you think.” He had many ways to make her obedient.
“Mike, I’m sorry, okay? I will tell you everything.” Afraid that he would break her precious camera, Scarlett looked down and her expression softened.
“Talk!” With his hand still on the camera, he raised his head proudly.
“What would you do if someone suddenly threatens you to marry a girl you have never seen before and you are asked to learn something for four years?”
“Is this all you’ve learned after four years?”
He divorced her in time to give her a chance to show who she really was. Otherwise, she would have been ruined by the Lauren family and ended up as a lunatic!
Scarlett scowled at his derision. “I have tried very hard, okay? But at that time, I did think about life after we were married.”
“Go on!”
Scarlett glanced at her DSLR camera, suppressed the dissatisfaction, and did what she was told.
“I had several plans, such as making a lot of trouble until you agreed to divorce me, or running away with all your money.”
Mike knocked on her forehead but his tone was affectionate.
“If you were smart enough to steal all my money and run away, you wouldn’t have caused so much trouble!”
What a fool!
Scarlett stuck out her tongue at him. “I was just thinking about it. Then I tiptoed over and stole a look at you, and then…”
The dim moonlight hid her slightly red cheeks, and Mike was pleased with the story.
Her sudden pause annoyed him.
“And then? Go on!” he said.
