Pampered by the Demon - Chapter 120

“What a coincidence. Did you come out to have fun?” Elaine asked, but she looked absent-minded.

“No, we are here to buy groceries. By the way, Elaine, what’s your phone number? I ruined your dress.”

Scarlett remembered that she owed her a new dress.

“No need.” Elaine was in a hurry to leave. She was rather distracted now.

“Don’t say that. I’m so sorry about my mistake.”

Scarlett grabbed Elaine’s hand, and the bag in her hand fell to the ground.

Things fell out of the bag. Mike bent down to pick it up and saw the words on it.

Elaine’s face suddenly turned pale, and she awkwardly snatched the bag from Mike, “I have something to deal with, see you later!”

Seeing that Elaine run away as if someone was chasing her, Scarlett felt odd.

“What’s the hurry?”

Mike narrowed his eyes and said nothing. He looked at Elaine’s back and then glanced at the gynecology clinic not far away.

He turned around and saw the silly look of his little wild cat. He sighed and flicked her forehead.

“You should watch when you walk. Stupid thing.”

Scarlett pouted. How could he do that again!

In the car, Scarlett was still thinking about Elaine and her strange moves.

“See, you misunderstood me last time. Now you know you are wrong! Elaine lent me that dress. And you burned it into ashes!”

Thinking of that day, she felt so wronged.

“Yes!” She slapped her forehead and Mike frowned.

“Don’t be so dramatic.”

Fortunately, he was a good driver, otherwise, he would have been frightened by her sudden shout and hit the greenbelt on the road!

“I know it!”

“What?” Did she really know why Elaine was here?

“Give me some money!”

“What? Why?” He couldn’t catch up with her all the time!

“To pay for the dress! It was Elaine’s dress. You burned it without her permission. You are the one who should be blamed, of course, you have to compensate me, and then I’ll take it to pay Elaine!”

It turned out that she was thinking of this… Mike was speechless.

“You have my card, right? Just use it and take whatever you want.”

“Well, I’ll go to the store tomorrow to see if there are any identical ones. If not, I will pay her with cash.”

“Elaine looks very strange today,” Scarlett said, puzzled.

It seemed like she was out of her mind.

“She broke the engagement with Richard.”

Mike said lightly, with his eyes looking straight ahead, but his hand holding the steering wheel tightened.

He was paying attention to Scarlett’s reaction.

“Ah! What a pity.” Scarlett did not expect that they would actually break off the engagement!

“You think it’s a pity?” Mike saw the red light and stopped the car. He turned to look at Scarlett who was still surprised.

“Of course it’s a pity! Elaine is a good girl. In fact, she and Richard are quite a good match.”

Scarlett was particularly surprised, and somehow she felt unspeakable sad.

“Mike, did they break off the engagement because of me?”

Seeing that Scarlett didn’t have any other reaction, Mike relaxed and started the car unhurriedly.

“That Richard is not a loyal man. It’s only a matter of time before they cancel the engagement. Why are you worried about them?”

“Richard isn’t that kind of person!”

Although Scarlett knew that Mike didn’t like Richard, she still didn’t want to hear him ridicule Richard with such a tone.

“Who is he to you? Do you really know him?” Mike’s tone got cold and his face darkened.

“Of course! We were high school classmates, and…”

They had grown up together.

In the past, she had feelings for him that she couldn’t understand. Scarlett certainly knew that Richard was not the kind of man that Mike had described.

“And what? And you nearly ran away with him and cheated on me?”

Thinking about what she had done with Richard back then, Mike was especially annoyed.

“Hey!” Scarlett was so angry that she turned her head. Her good mood was ruined by him.

Seeing her throwing a tantrum, Mike also became furious.

“I was talking about him. Did you get mad at me for him? That guy is not good. You’d better stay away from him from now on!”

“If he is not a good guy, then you are?”

Scarlett didn’t want to talk back to Mike, but she was very unhappy to hear him belittle Richard like this.

Although she and Richard weren’t together, they were childhood friends who grew up together. Even if they couldn’t be a couple, they were still friends.

Richard had just lost his marriage. Mike had no sympathy at all, and his words were so unpleasant!

Even if it wasn’t Richard, if it was Miffy or any of her other friends, she wouldn’t have let Mike talk about them like this!

“You silly thing, Richard is not a good guy! Why can’t you see that!”

Hearing her speaking up for another man, Mike was furious.

The corners of Scarlett’s mouth twitched. “Mike, you shouldn’t be a CEO. You should be a stand-up comedian.”

He was an excellent talker!

Mike glared at her, this heartless wild cat!

“Do you know why Elaine is here today?”

“What? Isn’t it a coincidence?”

“You are so stupid. Can’t you see the bag in her hand?”

“What? She’s not feeling well?”

“She’s pregnant.” Mike couldn’t stand it anymore and knocked on her forehead again.

“What the hell?”

Scarlett was shocked. Elaine was pregnant, but she had just broken off the engagement with Richard. What was going on?

“Mike, are you sure? Don’t talk nonsense! Elaine is not married yet!”

Scarlett was very surprised by what Mike was hinting at.

Mike knocked her forehead in dissatisfaction once again.

“You think I’m as stupid as you? I saw her test results. It has just been a month, and she intends to keep the baby.”

“How did you know that she would keep the child?”

“Because there’s also a bottle of folic acid tablet in her bag.”

“What is that?”

“The pills that women need to take in the early stages of pregnancy. Are you really a woman? How can you not know this?”

Mike looked at her in disdain.

“How did you know that?” Scarlett muttered to herself.

Well, Mike had done research to help her get pregnant, but it didn’t work…

“This child must be Richard’s!” Scarlett reacted.

“How can you be sure?”

“Elaine loves Richard, and I’m sure about that. She will take the risk of getting pregnant before marriage only when she is pregnant with Richard’s child!”

“How do you know if she’s cheating on Richard?”

Scarlett glared at him gloomily.

“You business people are so annoying. The world in your eyes is full of malice, and you believe in no one!”

“You are too concerned about a woman you have only met once. You don’t even care about Wendy like this..” Mike pointed out objectively.
