Pampered by the Demon

She was just here for some food yet she actually met Richard!

“Wow, what a coincidence.”

Her embarrassed expression looked indescribably cute in Richard’s eyes.

“Why are you here so late at night?”

Scarlett smiled awkwardly. She couldn’t say that she wanted to eat because she couldn’t understand some things.

“This is for you.” He handed Scarlett the pancakes that had been packed.

Scarlett had yet to receive it when another voice came from behind her.

“Richard, why are you so slow?”

Elaine stood behind Scarlett and looked at them curiously.

“Didn’t you say that you would treat me to pancakes? What are you doing?” When Elaine saw Scarlett, she felt that she had seen her somewhere.

“I remember now. You are Mrs. Abraham!” Elaine’s eyes lit up. She jumped over and looked at Scarlett with a smile.

“I almost didn’t recognize you when you didn’t have makeup. You still look beautiful.”

When she put on makeup, she looked elegant, and when she didn’t have it, she looked pure. This Mrs. Abraham looked so young and charming.

“Thank you. You’re good-looking as well.” Scarlett carefully looked at Richard’s fiancée. This girl had removed her makeup but was still charming. She looked very lively and cute.

Scarlett’s praise made Elaine narrow her eyes and she shook Richard’s arm, “Did you hear that? This great beauty praised me. Mrs. Abraham, do you like pancakes? How do you know this stall?”

“I studied in the high school here. I miss it when I come here again.”

“So, you didn’t study in the same high school as Richard? Why haven’t I heard you mention her before? Did you and Mrs. Abraham know each other for long?”

Richard just looked straight at Scarlett, and Scarlett felt the atmosphere was awkward.

“He was my senior in high school. I will leave you alone and I have to go.”

“Take it.” Richard stopped her and stuffed the pancakes into Scarlett’s hands.

Scarlett immediately sensed that Elaine was looking at her. She said awkwardly, “No need. My stomach is just healed. I forgot that I can’t eat these.”

“I wish you two a happy night. Goodbye.” She smiled at Elaine.

No longer looking at Richard, she turned to leave.

Richard watched her leave. The street lamp was still the same one from a few years ago.

The broken manhole cover on the street was the same as before. The girl he liked left without looking back at the same place but at a different time.

Elaine seemed to have felt something. She looked at Richard and then looked at Scarlett, who had gone far away.

“You and Mrs. Abraham were high school classmates. Why haven’t you told me about it before? You should have told me the last time I met her. I was so embarrassed when you were chatting just now…”

Why did she feel that the man next to her who was about to become her fiancé had something on his mind?

He would not tell her many things. The way he looked at Scarlett made Elaine feel very scared.

She instinctively tightened her grip on Richard’s arm as if she could keep him by her side in this way.

He immediately pushed her away. A hint of impatience flashed across his eyes. Elaine caught his gaze and immediately used a bright smile to cover up the pain in her heart.

She took the potato pancake in his hand and took a bite, the slightly sweet taste made her frown.

“So this is the so-called delicacy. It isn’t that delicious.”

“If it doesn’t taste good, dump it.” Richard looked at her coldly and strode to his car.

“I just feel that it’s too sweet. In fact, it is delicious when carefully eating. I will eat it all!” Elaine trotted to catch up with him.

She quickly stuffed the hot pancakes into her mouth. It was so hot that she wanted to cry. However, she did not dare to stop eating.

“Don’t push yourself if you don’t like it.” He snatched the package from her mouth and threw it into the trash can by the roadside.

Elaine’s eyes were full of tears. She had tried her best to please him, but why did she feel that he was getting further and further away from her?

He still stared in the direction where Scarlett had left. Could it be…

Elaine immediately thought of a possibility, but she shook her head. She must have thought too much.

“You don’t have to cater to me like this.” Richard finally withdrew his gaze and looked at Elaine, who was trying to hold back her tears and pretended to be happy. Only then did he realize that his tone might have been a little harsh.

Although he did not like this fiancée, he did not need to hurt her.

“It’s not catering. I’m willing to do that. I’ve always felt like that.” She liked him very much. From the first time she saw him four years ago, she fell for him.

For him, she was willing to give up everything. She believed that her efforts would one day be able to make him accept her.

However, she had to find out what had happened between Scarlett and Richard.

Elaine took a meaningful look at the direction where Scarlett had left and was deep in thought.

Scarlett took a taxi and left the place as if she was fleeing.

The familiar high school gradually disappeared, and she suddenly remembered what Miffy said.

Relationships would change.

The person that she thought she would never forget would eventually fade away as time passed.

When she first met Richard, she thought that she would be nervous and sad, but she was calm.

Now that she thought about it carefully, even on their meeting at the banquet that night, she felt more nervous and guilty towards Richard than missing him.

Richard’s fiancée was a pure girl. Her eyes were full of curiosity like hers in the past. She hoped that Richard would treat her well.

She touched the hickeys on her neck that had yet to fade away. This was left by Mike.

There was no way for her to face the man she had once liked with another man in her heart.

Richard was a man who already had a fiancée.

It was time to let go.

She had to try her best to figure out what was going on between them.

“Master, please go to the store selling steamed dumplings.”

In fact, she used to like snacks like Spicy Hot Pot and potato pancakes. They were cheap and delicious and would bring her happy memories.

However, Mike hated food sold at stalls. When he was in a good mood, he would let Lily buy the steamed dumplings for her.

She was late. The store was closed. It was said that the last customer had bought the last portion of the steamed dumplings.

Scarlett was depressed to the extreme. Was she going to miss everything like this for the rest of her life?

She was late for the pancakes.

And the steamed dumplings also left her.

Just as she walked out of the store in a daze and was about to take a taxi home, her line of sight was blocked by a bag that was emitting a tempting aroma.

Scarlett turned around, wanting to see the one showing off. That guy bought the last portion and ran to her to show off!

She turned back, and Mike knocked on her forehead.

“You didn’t go home tonight! Why are you running around?”
