Pampered by the Demon

The business in Miffy’s bar had improved during the time Mike took Scarlett out to play.

When Scarlett came back, she was surprised to see the majority of the room was filled with guests.

“Finally, you don’t play computer games anymore,” Scarlett said as she handed Miffy the gift.

“They have finally stopped checking for the safety standard. The business has improved a lot. I am feeling a little tired, though.”

Miffy yawned. She often had a feeling that she was out of energy recently.

“What is this?” Miffy took the gift from Scarlett.

“I think this bracelet suits you a lot. Try it.”

Miffy opened the box and grunted when she saw the logo on the box.

“Damn! How come you bought me such an expensive gift?”

Scarlett did not give Miffy any opportunity to refuse. She smiled, grabbed Miffy’s hand, and put the bracelet on for her.

“It’s not a big deal. I have ‘the bank of Mike.'”

“I envy you. You look prettier. Has Mike been giving you plenty of nourishment? Look at that face, it’s full of collagen.”

Scarlett’s complexion looked smoother and more luminous.

Scarlett remembered what Mike did with her in the bedroom as she sipped her water.

‘Well…

He couldn’t get enough. I was exhausted every day.

I don’t have dark circles under my eyes thanks to the effect of my eye cream.’

Scarlett also brought back a few boxes of special chocolate for Miffy. Miffy loved chocolates.

However, when Miffy opened the box and put a piece of chocolate in her mouth, she covered her mouth and looked like she was about to throw up.

“What’s wrong?” Scarlett stood up and patted Miffy on the back.

Miffy grabbed her water and gulped down a few mouthfuls to suppress the urge to throw up.

“It was handmade hazelnut chocolate. I thought you liked it.”

Wondering if the chocolate had gone bad, Scarlett picked one up and put it in her mouth. It was delicious.

Miffy’s face was pale. “My stomach has been weird recently. I throw up whenever I smell something I am not used to smelling.”

“I would have thought that you were pregnant if I didn’t know you were single.” Scarlett teased her.

Miffy’s cup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

“Scarlett…”

“What’s wrong? Are you hurt?” Scarlett hurriedly checked if Miffy was ok.

Miffy’s face looked ashy.

“Do you have time tomorrow?”

“Yes, I am free these days.”

Scarlett had more freedom to come out as Mike had not been so persistent about Scarlett’s presence around him.

“Can you go to the hospital with me tomorrow?”

“What’s going on?” Scarlett was nervous.

You’ll know when we get there.” Miffy shook her head.

Miffy remembered her period seemed to be a few days late.

Mike had a dinner party that evening. Scarlett was chewing a bag of chips while watching TV series.

Mike called to tell Scarlett not to wait for him to have dinner. He might come back late.

Scarlett was not used to this because Mike used to be with her all the time.

Scarlett wanted to call him to see where he was but decided it was best not to.

Scarlett would call Mike to show that she cared about him whenever he was out when it was late when they just got married.

It felt automatic, like a part of her work. Now, Scarlett felt different.

Scarlett actually wanted to call Mike to tell him to drink less t and be safe.

‘What are we?

‘Would the ex-wife and ex-husband live together and share a bedroom?

‘Obviously not.

‘Mike has never confirmed that we are dating.’

Scarlett finally thought of a better way.

She called Mike’s driver.

At that moment, Mike was in a KTV room with four elite men and two bottles of imported wine.

However, the atmosphere was a little dull.

Mike sat on the sofa with a glass of wine in his hand. His mind was on the phone in his pocket.

There wasn’t a single message or a call.

Suddenly, someone’s phone rang.

Darian looked at it and smiled.

“Honey, I’ll be back soon. Yes, I didn’t drink much. The driver will pick me up. Don’t worry, go to bed early. I love you!”

Mike heard every word. He raised his wine glass and drank everything with one gulp.

Ben looked at Jett, then at Mike.

‘Is Mike waiting for his wife’s call?

‘It shouldn’t be. Mike is the most composed of the group.

‘He would not act like a young boy who had just fallen in love.’

Mike’s spirit was very low, and so did Jett, who used to be the soul of a party.

“Jett, you were the one who invited us here, and you have been silent all night. What’s going on?” Ben asked.

Jett was usually the life of the party.

But today, he seemed to have something on his mind. He had been drinking silently, just like Mike.

“I might be getting married,” Jett said. All heads were turned in his direction.

Even Mike turned to look at Jett in amazement.

“Who is the unlucky girl?” Darian asked the question on everyone’s mind.

Although Darian, who owned an entertainment company, was just as much a playboy as Jett, Darian felt he was fully qualified to tease Jett as Darian was the first one who decided to commit to a relationship and got married.

Darian knew Jett would not stop being a playboy even if he got married.

“It’s arranged by the family. Have you heard of the Gross family in the eastern part of the city?”

“The Gross family with military and political legacy?” Mike wondered.

Jett nodded. “If things go as planned, I will marry the eldest daughter of the Gross family next month.”

“What’s the rush?” Ben asked. Ben would be the only bachelor in the group after Jett got married.

Mike remembered the Gross family. It was equally powerful as Jett’s family.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Shyann went to study abroad and had opened a company herself. She was one of those successful women.

‘Shyann does make a good match for Jett.’

“My grandpa doesn’t have much time left. He wants to see his grandson before he runs out of time.”

Jett and Shyann had only met a few times. They did not have feelings for each other. Jett agreed to marry Shyann just because he needed a wife, and Shyann wasn’t bad.

“You don’t look like a happy groom. Why do I feel like you’re attending a funeral?” Darian teased Jett, who shrugged.

“There is nothing to be happy about. It makes no difference no matter who you marry.”

A girl’s round face suddenly appeared in Jett’s head.

Jett shook his head. ‘Why am I thinking about her again? She was the only one who has rejected me so far.’

“Mike, the weather is going to be good tomorrow. How about you take Scarlett out to play? Isabella wants to know her. It was a pity we missed the chance to see her last time,” Darian suggested.

Mike’s eyes narrowed as he heard Scarlett’s name. His mobile had not buzzed the whole evening. No messages or calls from Scarlett. ‘How can Scarlett be so patient?’
