Chapter 414
Haylan was stunned!
What was going on here?
Didn’t 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 Haylan’s lips until they bled.
“It is your punishment for leaving me unnoticed!” 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.
“So, are we even now?” Haylan asked.
“We’re barely even” Scarlett said.
Scarlett glared at Haylan. Her gaze was still cold as she said, “Why can’t I kill Josef?”
“He has a new medicine that my friend really needs, Haylan said truthfully.
“Your friend? A woman?” asked Scarlett.
“Yes!”
“You two sleep together, too?”
“What?”
Haylan was speechless. “What nonsense are you talking about? I’m just trying to help a friend who really needs Josef’s help.” Scarlett stared into Haylan’s eyes for fifteen seconds. Finally, she sighed and said, “It seems you love her.”
“Huh?”
“When you
talk about her, there’s something in your eyes that wasn’t there when you looked at me before, Scarlett said.
“What things?” asked Haylan.
“You wouldn’t understand even if I told you.”
Scarlett glared at Haylan coquettishly. “You men just can’t control your lower body. You’re so cold and heartless and left after playing with the girls. You’re irresponsible!
“Talking to a playboy like you is a humiliation to me!”
Haylan Jaber was speechless.
Damn it!
She shouldn’t 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?
“Fine. I’ll spare Josef for your sake,” said Scarlett.
Scarlett put away her saber and smiled charmingly. “However, in return, I need you to spend one night with me.”
“Spend one night with you?”
Why were the words One Night so easy to associate with the other words when she said them?
Haylan shook his head and said, “Not tonight. I really can’t leave.”
“How about tomorrow night?” Scarlett asked again.
“Not even tomorrow night!”
When are you free?”
*Maybe after we get off the ship,” said Haylan.
