Haylan was stunned!
What was going on here?
Didnât Scarlett just clamor to kill him?
Why did she suddenly do that?
Just as Haylan was feeling puzzled, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his lips.
His expression changed, and he hurriedly pushed Scarlett away.
Then Haylan touched his lips again, and his hands were covered in blood.
Scarlett actually bit Haylanâs lips until they bled.
âIt is your punishment for leaving me unnoticed!â Scarlett wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and glared at Haylan.
However, there were many regrets and sorrows of not being loved behind her angry eyes.
âSo, are we even now?â Haylan asked.
âWeâre barely evenâ Scarlett said.
Scarlett glared at Haylan. Her gaze was still cold as she said, âWhy canât I kill Josef?â
âHe has a new medicine that my friend really needs, Haylan said truthfully.
âYour friend? A woman?â asked Scarlett.
âYes!â
âYou two sleep together, too?â
âWhat?â
Haylan was speechless. âWhat nonsense are you talking about? Iâm just trying to help a friend who really needs Josefâs help.â Scarlett stared into Haylanâs eyes for fifteen seconds. Finally, she sighed and said, âIt seems you love her.â
âHuh?â
âWhen you talk about her, thereâs something in your eyes that wasnât there when you looked at me before, Scarlett said.
âWhat things?â asked Haylan.
âYou wouldnât understand even if I told you.â
Scarlett glared at Haylan coquettishly. âYou men just canât control your lower body. Youâre so cold and heartless and left after playing with the girls. Youâre irresponsible!
âTalking to a playboy like you is a humiliation to me!â
Haylan Jaber was speechless.
Damn it!
She shouldnât humiliate him like that!
He had thought of taking responsibility for Scarlett before. But he realized he had been cheated on.
He had yet to settle scores with Scarlett How did everything become his fault when it came to Scarlett?
âFine. Iâll spare Josef for your sake,â said Scarlett.
Scarlett put away her saber and smiled charmingly. âHowever, in return, I need you to spend one night with me.â
âSpend one night with you?â
Why were the words One Night so easy to associate with the other words when she said them?
Haylan shook his head and said, âNot tonight. I really canât leave.â
âHow about tomorrow night?â Scarlett asked again.
âNot even tomorrow night!â
When are you free?â
*Maybe after we get off the ship,â said Haylan.
âOkay. Jâll ask you out after we get off the ship. We havenât seen each other for so long that we must find a place to catch up.â
www 12:19 Scarlett looked at Haylan with tenderness and love in her eyes.
Although she resented Haylan for leaving her without saying goodbye and disappearing, the resentment in her heart vanished after seeing Haylan today and knowing that he was safe and sound.
Instead, she had an expectation. She looked forward to revisiting the old days with Haylan.
Haylan was speechless. âItâs OK for us to catch up, but youâre already married and have a child. We might cross the line if we do anything else.â
âYou know that Iâm married?â Scarlettâs eyes changed slightly. Then, she suddenly had a sweet feeling in her heart.
Haylan knew that she was married and had a child. It meant that Haylan had been silently paying attention to her all these years, which warmed her heart.
Haylan looked at Scarlett and nodded.
