Pampered by the Demon - Chapter 119
“What?” Scarlett did not hear him.
He knocked on her head, “No one else can hear this. This is only for me.”
The original version in the world, only for Mike.
“What’s this? The machine’s voice is similar to me!” Scarlett was still embarrassed.
It was indeed synthesized from her acoustic waves.
However, the last sentence about arriving at the destination was her real voice.
When they had just gotten married, Scarlett tried her best to please him to get his help to save the Lauren family.
The saddest thing in the world was knowing that she was lying to him, but he still fell in love with her.
Looking outside the car, Mike found that his former thoughts were completely wrong. He was suddenly stunned.
Wasn’t that a watermelon peel?
A watermelon peel was on the ground with flies flying around it.
Lots of people were satisfied with the vegetables they bought.
Bugatti didn’t fit the surrounding at all.
“You’re not… coming here to buy anything, are you?” Mike looked sullen.
They were focusing on the navigation in Scarlett’s special version. It was already too late by the time Mike found himself in a magical place.
“This is an outdoor market where you could find the freshest materials in the city!”
It had been a long time since Mike saw such a dirty place. Rotten vegetable leaves were everywhere, plus the noisy crowd. Mike was reluctant to get out of the car.
He thought that all the vegetable stalls were as clean and tidy as supermarkets.
“Let’s go. You’ll help me carry bags.” Scarlett pushed him. She was going to buy a lot of things later.
“Why this shock? Did Mike never experience normal people’s lives?”
For a man who is obsessive about cleanliness, it would be a difficult challenge for him to watch his every step on piles of watermelon peel and vegetable leaves in a crowded place.
Scarlett was already joyfully walking through various vegetable stalls. She was very familiar with this area. Some shoppers would even greet her warmly when they saw her.
The air was filled with all sorts of smells, such as seasonings, fruits, vegetables, and seafood. It was hard for Mike to stand the smells mixed.
He lived a privileged life and had never been in an outdoor market before.
“Scarlett, the shrimp is fresh. Do you want to have some?”
The vendor’s eyes brightened when she saw Mike behind Scarlett.
“Is this your husband’s? How perfect you match for each other. Come and buy some, I’ll sell this cheaper to you!”
Scarlett blushed and didn’t try to correct her that Mike was her ex-husband.
Seeing that Scarlett was blushed, Mike was amused and felt that this place wasn’t that bad.
He paid for it and the vendor continued to praise him.
“You are a wonderful husband who is handsome and considerate to your wife. Scarlett is so lucky to have you!”
Mike immediately felt that this aunt, who spoke in a dialect, seemed to be kind.
All the people in the vegetable market praised her husband.
In the end, Scarlett was used to it. When others praised her husband, she did not blush and thanked them.
“He didn’t deserve your praise for he would be annoying sometimes at home.”
“I don’t believe so. It’s nice for a husband to help his wife carry bags. You’re so lucky.”
They couldn’t stop talking…
Mike usually couldn’t stand small talks like this, and he never wasted his time on these.
However, when he thought it was okay when he became the topic of a conversation. And he didn’t even notice that he was smiling all the time.
When Scarlett was chatting with others, she would peek at him. She felt that he wasn’t cold anymore.
When they finally left the market, they had bought lots of materials.
“In the future, you should accompany me to the market. Look, they gave us so many things for free!”
It was because of Mike they gave her garlic for free as she bought gingers.
“Greedy.” Mike shook his head and opened the trunk, putting all the things into it.
Suddenly, Scarlett’s eyes brightened, “Mike! Give me five yuan!”
She had no money left. So, Mike took out his wallet and gave her a note.
“I’ll be back in a minute!” Scarlett ran to a small stall. An old woman was selling cold cakes or something like that.
Mike leaned against the car and waited for her. After a while, Scarlett returned with a pile of cold cakes. The old woman left with her empty trolley.
“Could you eat all of these?”
Boss raised his eyebrows. He didn’t eat these snacks. He remembered that she didn’t like these traditional handmade snacks either.
“I don’t like it but we could give them to the children in orphan asylum later.”
Scarlett put a pile of cold cakes on the back seat and sat on the passenger seat.
“This old granny is so pitiful. Her grandson is ill and needs lots of money. So, although she is over 80 years old, she still needs to sell snacks to support her family. Every time I pass by, I’ll buy some snacks from her.”
Today, Grandma didn’t have any change, so she bought all the snacks.
The boss flicked her head with his eyes filled with softness.
“My Little fool.”
“Buy things you don’t like.”
However, Scarlett was quite cute this way.
Maternity Hospital was next to the orphan asylum in City B. When the luxurious Bugatti stopped in front of the gate, many curious children who played outside the courtyard surrounded the car. Scarlett got out of the car and gave the snacks to them.
Mike sat in the car and looked at her. The afternoon sun shone through the branches by the roadside. She was covered with a layer of light.
After giving out snacks, Scarlett waved goodbye to the children. A person came out of the hospital and walked towards Scarlett in a daze.
Scarlett was waving goodbye to the children and didn’t notice the person when she turned around.
Two absent-minded people were about to bump into each other.
When Mike found out, it was already too late to warn Scarlett.
The two women collided.
“Ah!” Scarlett felt that she bumped into someone behind her, so she hurriedly stopped.
“I’m sorry!”
“I’m sorry!”
The two women said at the same time.
Scarlett raised her head and recognized the woman she had bumped into.
“Elaine?”
Isn’t this Richard’s fiancée, Elaine Shields?
“Scarlett?” Elaine also looked surprised when she saw Scarlett.
“What a coincidence, did you come to see the children?” Scarlett forgot to ask for her phone number last time, but she still remembered her for being impressed with her.
“I…” Elaine clenched the hospital document in her hand and lowered her head.
“You know each other?” Mike walked over to check if Scarlett was injured, and looked at Elaine.
“This is Elaine,” Scarlett introduced.
Mike remembered, Richard’s fiancée?
Oh, he remembered.
Ex-fiancée, to be exact.. It was said they canceled the engagement.
