Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

Downstairs came the sound of the engine start, and soon the housekeeper came to tell Francis that she had driven herself out.

“Shall we chase after her?” The bodyguard asked.

“Let her go!” He said after he took a glance at the baby in his arms. He knew her and her driving skills very well. No one could catch up with her.

Meanwhile, Scarlett kept driving and crying; she had no idea where she was going. Once she got far enough away from the village, she pulled over.

“Damn you, Francis, how can you think that I would just abandon my baby and our relationship?” She angrily punched the steering wheel. The sound of the horn scared the birds resting in the trees lining the road.

She was facing a dilemma: she didn’t know whether to go back or not. Returning to Francis would mean that she had accepted his harsh words. Yet, staying away meant that she would miss out on her baby… his first steps, his first words… Scarlett didn’t know what to do.

After much thought, Scarlett made up her mind and decided to go downtown first and think about what to do next later.

Meanwhile, Francis made a call to Shirley. He was starting to get worried, so he decided to call Scarlett’s professor to ask about where she might be. He had the baby to sleep.

With the help of the professor and her classmates, Francis was finally able to confirm that Scarlett was back at school, and he felt relieved after knowing that she was safe.

As for Scarlett, it was dark when she found the dormitory building for the postgraduate students. She didn’t know which room had been arranged for her, so she went to look for Bell right after she arrived.

After asking around, Scarlett finally found the room where Bell lived. When she pushed the door open, Bell and her friends were playing Monopoly. Everyone was excited and yelling about the game.

When Bell saw her, she was stunned and said, “Wow, you are back. How come you’re here so late at night? What’s up?”

Bell’s friends were not strangers to Scarlett, and they all greeted her, “Scarlett, where have you been these days? Long time no see!”

“Well, I have something private to deal with, so…” She replied as she found a place to sit down.

A while later, Scarlett joined their games. They were playing with real money, so Scarlett managed to win a lot of cash. It was enough to cover one month’s living expenses. Bell’s friends headed back to their own rooms separately once the game was over.

After Bell and Scarlett finished washing up, they laid out the sheets on the beds.

“So, which room is my room?” Scarlett asked.

“This room! We’re sharing.” Bell said.

“What a coincidence! That’s so great!” Scarlett said.

“I made it happen on purpose!” Bell said

“Wow, that’s so nice of you!” She smiled, holding Bell in her arms.

“Well, I’m not like you, I don’t just go missing for long periods with no explanation. You’d better tell me everything now! Tell me the reason for you not coming back to school for so long; otherwise, I won’t forgive you!” Bell exclaimed.

“I’m here to explain it all to you! Here’s the story: do you remember the Sandler Company and the boss of the company, Francis?” Scarlett said.

“Of course. The company is one of our school sponsors, quite famous, and Francis is the one who gave you the scholarship. Besides, he’s handsome, and I will never forget a handsome guy like him.” Bell said.

“Well, I have a son with him,” Scarlett responded.

Bell was astonished. She grasped Scarlett’s hand and stared at her blankly, “What did you say?”

“Well, we were supposed to apply for a marriage license, but I changed my mind. The thing is that I have a baby with him, and now I regret it.” She sighed.

“Oh my god, that’s fucking crazy! You have a baby with Francis Sandler!” Bell gasped with excitement.

“Don’t you think that I’m cheap?”

“Of course not! I think you’re doing just fine,” she said, “You have found a good father for your baby! At least he is born into a very good family, wealthy and educated. You can provide him with a great environment to grow up in.”

Bell’s excitement surprised Scarlett. She checked her forehead to see if she had a fever, “What really happened to you when I was gone? Why are you becoming such a practical person now?”

“It doesn’t matter what I have experienced. Listen to me, I have to be your son’s godmother.” Bell said.

“Well, about that, I can’t make that decision on my own!” Scarlett said.

“Well, I have to, and I don’t care about what you think. It’s decided.” She said.

“But anyway, so, why did you decide to come back to school so late? Didn’t you get kicked out?”

“Well, we had a quarrel about going back to school. I was too mad to stay there, so I just stormed off. That’s why I’m here now!”

When Bell heard that, she started looking for Scarlett’s cellphone, which really puzzled Scarlett, so she asked, “What are you doing?”

“Well, go and make a call to Francis! You gotta apologize to him and ask for his forgiveness!” Bell said.

“Why should I? That would be so embarrassing! I don’t want to do that!” Scarlett stared at her in surprise.

However, Bell had no moral integrity about this and dialed the number Francis immediately. She handed the phone to Scarlett, “Come on! Apologize quickly!”

“Hey, don’t do that!” Scarlett said as she was about to hang up the cellphone.

Bell stopped her and said, “Come on now, tell him that you were wrong to storm off like that.”

“Please don’t get involved in our affairs. We can solve our problems by ourselves.”

“I don’t care about you guys, I’m just worried about the baby,” Bell explained.

They had been deadlocked there with the cellphone, and then the phone was picked up in front of them.

“Hello?” A deep male voice came to them over the phone.
