Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

After repeating this a few times, she finally delivered the baby.

“It’s a boy!” The doctor exclaimed.

“Bring him to me. I need to count and see if he has five fingers.” Scarlett said tiredly, stretching her finger to point to the baby covered with blood.

Upon hearing what she said, the doctor burst into laughter. Scarlett could see twinkling stars in front of her.

Scarlett slept until noon. In her sleep, she dreamed that she was enjoying a feast, but before she could start eating anything, everything would just disappear right before her eyes. This pissed her off to no end, so she woke right up.

Weakly, she opened her eyes and cried, “I’m starving!”

As she struggled to sit up, Francis instantly helped her with his pair of strong hands, and then she fell into his arms from being too hungry. Quickly, one of the housekeepers set up a small table in front of her and served delicate foods, like cucumber sandwiches and lightly spiced rice porridge, to her.

“I want to eat meat!” She looked up and said.

Holding her in his arms, Francis helped her cool off the porridge and said, “The doctor said you couldn’t eat anything too greasy because it’ll take a toll on your digestive system. So we have to be careful, my princess. Okay?”

Scarlett looked up to him and started wondering why he was so calm and unconcerned. Shouldn’t she be mad at him? Why did it feel like everything had gone back to how it was before? He was the one giving her orders, and she was the one flattering him.

“Why are you staring at me? Aren’t you hungry?” Francis looked down at her and said, doubt coloring his voice.

What happened next surprised everyone in the room. With one of her hands pressed up against the bed, Scarlett wrapped her other arm around Francis’s neck and raised his head up to kiss him on the lips.

Francis was surprised to see Scarlett being so forward. Instinctively, he reached out to push her back. But before he could do anything, Scarlett pushed herself forward and slipped her tongue into his mouth.

Francis was at a loss for words: he could do nothing but kiss her back. Besides, he was enjoying the kiss. As they got hot and heavy, Scarlett bit his bottom lip hard with her sharp teeth and then quickly turned away. Greedily, she began digging into the porridge that sat before her.

“Ooh, this porridge tastes surprisingly good!” She said as her eyes lit up. She was enjoying the porridge readily.

As for Francis, he was stunned by what had happened in the last couple of minutes. He touched his bleeding lips and walked out of the room, leaving Scarlett to eat her food.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

The minute Francis walked out, and the door was closed, Scarlett just put down the spoon and pouted, “Damn you, Francis! How dare you treat me like this!”

Scarlett was angry because Francis was acting strangely calm that morning. His usual temper and passion seemed to have vanished into thin air. There was no explanation for it. Scarlett wondered if Francis had stopped caring about her like he once did. Suddenly, she remembered her baby. Where was her baby anyway?

In the living room, Francis was holding the baby in his arms and feeding him. The baby kept sucking the milk out of the bottle with his smallmouth. Seeing Francis tending to their baby so gently, Scarlett felt moved.

Meanwhile, Ella came and said, “Sir, we are ready to go!”

Right then, Scarlett rushed down from upstairs, with her disheveled hair in bare feet. She shouted sharply, “You can’t leave! You can’t leave just yet!”

Ella was stunned. She looked back at Scarlett and wondered what was happening. Francis was shocked by her sudden wave of madness and shouted back, “What do you think you’re doing? Go back to bed immediately.”

Scarlett grasped the door and bit her own lips, “You are not allowed to take the baby away! You can’t just go.”

She was almost about to cry as she stood there with her tousled hair, not even a pair of slippers on. She was the picture of a total mess.

Francis frowned, “What? What are you talking about, Scarlett? Who said they are gonna take him away?”

“Aren’t you the one who said you are gonna leave?” She shouted out loudly.

Francis was really mad at her as he saw her like that and shouted back, “Get back to bed now! Otherwise, you will get a cold.” Scarlett looked down at her bare feet in embarrassment, and then Ella just retreated out quietly.

After seeing her continue to stand there motionlessly, Francis put down the baby in the crib and rushed to hold her up. When she saw him coming to her, she used her hand to protect her head because she thought he would beat her. However, to her surprise, Francis picked her up, and then she instantly had her hands around his neck.

“Don’t move!” He shouted out.

Scarlett was stunned and then stayed still, leaning against his chest.

A while later, the baby started crying in the crib as if he was blaming them for not feeding him.

Upon hearing his crying, Francis took her to the side of the crib and said, “Pick him up! Comfort him. Come on, we scared him with all that shouting.”

“How?” Scarlett asked him. She reached her hands out and then stopped short. She had no idea how to handle a real-life baby.

Instead of admonishing her for her lack of experience, Francis began to teach her patiently. “Here, like this. Put one hand behind his head and the other under his butt. Remember, a baby is really delicate, so you have to make sure to keep him supported at all times. Don’t hold too tight, though, because then he’ll be uncomfortable. Got it?”

Scarlett held him up very carefully and stared at him as he moved his neck uncomfortably. At this moment, the baby opened his eyes, and she came to see his eyes for the very first time.
