Pampered by the Demon

It couldn’t be wrong. This was the feeling!

“Where is the cook?” Scarlett hadn’t eaten such delicious food in many years.

She remembered that when she was in the countryside, Julia often made stir-fried wild vegetables, and the taste was very special.

After coming to the Lauren’s, Julia stopped cooking it and became crueler to Scarlett…

Mike put down his chopsticks and looked at Scarlett with a deep gaze.

“This restaurant needs to be booked in advance. When the owner is ready, she will send a message to the customer and tell the customer where the key is. No one has seen her.”

This was also the uniqueness of this private restaurant.

After so long, no one had seen the owner.

Just one dish was enough to make Scarlett so emotional, which showed Julia’s status of in her heart.

The uneasiness in Mike’s heart gradually expanded. Scarlett’s current expression made him very uneasy.

Scarlett returned to her chair in disappointment.

Yes, Julia was still strictly watched in the nursing home. This private restaurant should have nothing to do with her.

The originally good dining mood became heavy because of Julia.

The memory of Allen deliberately threatening Scarlett in the past was recalled.

Mike picked up another dish and placed it on her plate, but Scarlett was only staring at the stir-fried wild vegetables.

While she was enjoying her happy life, Julia was still bearing the danger of being exposed at any time.

She was so sad.

Mike couldn’t allow her to continue like this.

“Tomorrow, we will go to Baston City together.”

‘I can’t delay any longer. Things change at any time. I have to take her away from this place.’

“No, I won’t go.”

Mike got annoyed instantly. The cold air around him was enough to freeze this small restaurant.

“I, I, I’m not feeling well!” At this juncture, she could not leave.

“It’s time for our agreement. Don’t you want to hear my answer?” he said indifferently.

Scarlett froze. Mike seemed to be fiddling with the cup unintentionally, but his aura seemed to be slightly tense.

Although they didn’t make it clear, they knew each other very well.

The relationship between them had reached a very important turning point.

Going to Baston City was definitely not such a simple business trip. It was very likely that he would make some promises to her during this trip.

Moreover, it should be what she wanted to hear.

If it was any other time, Scarlett would nod happily and go home to pack her luggage.

However, at this moment, she was in a deep dilemma. The stir-fried vegetables evoked her extreme responsibility for Julia.

As if sensing her hesitation, Mike said.

“The scenery in Baston City is very beautiful in this season. The flowers bloom everywhere on the hills. If the scenery is missed, there will be no more.”

The last sentence was obviously to use the scenery to remind her to think twice.

Scarlett hesitated, but when she looked at the dishes on the table, the pictures of Julia appeared in her mind.

Shaking his head, she said, “I’ll be waiting for you to come back. We will go together next time.”

This was already an obvious rejection.

Mike got up, picked up the plate of stir-fried vegetables that distracted her, and threw it against the wall.

…

The plate hit the wall and made a loud noise. The green vegetables were scattered on the ground.

Scarlett was startled by his actions.

Although his actions were crazy, his expression was unusually calm.

“What are you doing?”

Mike glared at her and turned to leave.

“It’s up to you whether you want to go or not.”

Leaving her behind, he left alone.

Outside the door, Mike looked up at the blue sky.

He could have everything except for her sincerity.

Why?

He smashed that hateful dish.

However, there was a trace of that crazy woman who was not sincere to her at all that could not be smashed.

She was a very sentimental person who would remember anyone who treated her well for a long time.

But the person she should remember the most was forgotten by her.

After Mike left, Scarlett was the only one left in the specially decorated private restaurant.

She silently lowered her head to clean up the mess caused by Mike.

He was angry and she knew.

But she had to do this. She already had a wonderful method that would not hurt him and could also keep Julia.

“Put it there. I’ll clean it up.” A voice suddenly sounded.

Scarlett turned back, and a woman wearing a mask stood behind her.

“You are…?”

“I’m the owner of this restaurant. You… ah!” The masked woman was shocked when she saw Scarlett’s face.

She even ran over in surprise and held Scarlett’s hand.

When Scarlett was held by a stranger, her first reaction was to retract her hand.

“Sorry, you look very much like my…” The owner, Kate, looked at Scarlett in disbelief.

‘Similar. So similar.’

“Am I a common face?” Scarlett looked at her mask. There was actually someone wearing a mask. Why?

Kate touched her face and said a little sadly.

“My face was destroyed by the fire twenty years ago, so I wore a mask to avoid scaring you.”

Scarlett exclaimed. Although Scarlett could not see the woman’s face, Scarlett felt that this woman was very kind and her voice was very gentle.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to.”

Kate shook her head.

“It doesn’t matter. I’m used to it. When I see you, I think of my daughter. She died when she was born. If she was alive, she should be the same age as you.”

Normally, Kate would not come out. She only came out when she heard some noise, but she did not expect to see Scarlett squatting there to clean up the mess with a sad face.

This sad side profile was so similar to her past self.

“The stir-fried wild vegetables were very delicious. Did you make it?” Scarlett asked.

“Well, that’s how we do it back home. Many people in the village can do it. Do you like it?”

Scarlett nodded and said sadly.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

“My mother also knows how to make this. Eating this reminded me of my mother, and also irritated my… lover.”

Scarlett said the last two words with a guilty conscience.

She also didn’t know how to introduce Mike to people.

Although Kate knew that this girl looked very much like her past self and the girl couldn’t be her child that died immediately after her birth, when she saw Scarlett’s sad look, Kate still felt sorry.

…

Kate held Scarlett’s hand and asked in concern.

“Your mother and your lover are not in harmony?”

Scarlett nodded.

How good would it be if Mike was able to accept Julia!

“Do you want to hear my experience as an experienced person?”

Scarlett looked at her. For some reason, this masked woman made her feel very close, so she nodded.

“Back then, I fell in love with a man I loved very much. However, I was strongly opposed by his family. He desperately wanted to keep me, but I left him.”

Kate patted Scarlett on the hand.

“For the past twenty years, I have always regretted it. If I had been brave enough to face it with him at that time, maybe our daughter would not have died.”

She had wasted so much effort to give birth to that child, but the doctor had carried her a dead baby.
