Chapter 39: Scarlett Is Impressed By Mike

After Scarlett finished speaking, Mike turned around and looked at her seriously.

Then, he laughed.

Scarlett had never seen anything near a smile on Mike's face before, except for sneering, not to mention such heartfelt laughter.

She even heard him laugh out loud!

Scarlett was seriously accusing Mike of what he had just done.

How could he call her Piggy after she just said a joke about pigs?

How rude.

She did not find it funny, but he seemed to enjoy it very much.

"What are you laughing at? How much did you drink? You are now anything but sober." Scarlett complained.

On hearing her words, Mike stopped laughing. After looking at her, he couldn't help but start to laugh again.

When those who normally did not smile suddenly smiled for once, others would be deeply impressed. That was what Scarlett felt like at that moment.

She had always believed that men like Mike would only be charming when he appeared to be cool and manly.

It never occurred to Scarlett when he laughed, he could be so impressive that the whole world seemed to have lightened up because of his smile.

It was not an exaggerated one. The corners of Mike's lips pursed, and his eyes seemed to be full of affection. Scarlett looked at him. His smile was like a warm breeze and melted all his ice-cold disguise.

It turned out that Mike not only had a straight face, he also had a beautiful smile.

Realizing that Scarlett was looking at him, Mike restrained his smile and gently tapped her forehead.

"Piggy, why do you always look so confused?"

Only Scarlett could reduce his outrage and then cheered him up right away.

Scarlett touched her forehead that was tapped by Mike and made a face at him in her heart.

Mike's appearance was impressive. So was his bad temper!

Scarlett really couldn't understand how he could hit her head and call her names after they had divorced.

It turned out that Mike wasn't taking her to the suburbs to do anything bad. He parked the car outside a cottage.

As soon as she opened the door, Scarlett caught a whiff of the smell of some kind of medicine.

Mike took the lead to get out of the car. Ignoring her resistance, he picked her up in his arms and explained.

"This is where Dr. Harris lives now. He used to work for the Abraham family. He has retired due to old age and is now enjoying his life here."

Scarlett's foot was hurt. Mike didn't believe in his current family doctor. He thought it would be best if Dr. Harris, who was more experienced, could help check her injury.

"I thought you would directly call him and ask him to come over. That's what you normally do. Why did you drive over yourself this time?"

Although it was not a long drive, it was not the kind of thing that Mike, as far as Scarlett knew, would do.

Wasn't he the kind of overbearing man that believed everything was supposed to be about him?

"Dr. Harris is elderly. It's inconvenient for him to go there and then come back."

Mike rang the doorbell. Soon, a spry old man with grey hair walked out of the cottage.

"Mr. Abraham! Why are you here?" Bernard Harris was happy to see Mike.

"My wife has an ankle joint sprain. Dr. Harris, would you please give her a check-up?" Mike didn't speak to Bernard in the careless way of speaking to a servant. Instead, he said with great respect.

Scarlett looked at him in surprise.

Why was Mike still pretending now? There was no one else except his former family doctor here. Why did he call her his wife?

What was he doing it for?

Bernard looked at Scarlett from head to toe and nodded in satisfaction.

"When you got married, I was in poor health, so I didn't go. Now I have finally met Mrs. Abraham. I can tell from the energy around her that she will be a good wife and you will lead a happy life. How wonderful!"

Scarlett didn't know how to react to such high praise. Looking at Bernard who was walking quickly in front of them, she whispered in Mike's ear.

"Is he a doctor or a fortune-teller?"

"Mrs. Abraham, doctors, and fortune tellers have something in common. Both try to study humans and their destiny." Dr. Harris suddenly replied. Scarlett blushed out of embarrassment.

Mike looked at her with amusement as she buried her head in his arms. He forgot to tell her that although Bernard was more than 90 years old, he had good hearing.

Bernard opened the door. When Mike entered the room with Scarlett in his arms, he whispered something to Mike that made Scarlett even more embarrassed.

"Mrs. Abraham's energy also tells me that your first kid is very likely to be a boy."

Scarlett didn't know what to say. It was so embarrassing!

She would not have a baby with Mike! He was already her ex-husband.

What made her even more frustrated was the reaction of Mike. He asked Bernard seriously.

"Isn't there any possibility that it might be a girl?"

"There is always a possibility, but the energy of having a boy first is a lot stronger."

Mike frowned.

Bernard sensed his disappointment and patted his shoulder.

"Mr. Abraham, you are still very young. You can give birth to multiple children until you have the daughter you want."

"Sure." Mike nodded and quickly felt that his chest was hit by Scarlett.

Scarlett blushed deeply out of shyness.

She would not have a baby with Mike! Never! Bernard was too imaginative!

Also, when would Mike sober up? Why would he take Bernard's words seriously?

He was asking Bernard questions about having babies!

Bernard was indeed an experienced doctor. Scarlett's feet were quickly taken care of and wrapped in a thick layer of medicine.

While preparing the medicine, Scarlett watched Mike casually chatting with Bernard.

If not for the fact she was beside him, she would have suspected that it was someone else speaking.

Scarlett didn't know that Mike could be so gentle.

He was not talking with some people from the noble class, but a retired family doctor. However, Mike answered every question Bernard asked seriously.

Although he still didn't speak much, he didn't put on any airs, as if he was an ordinary junior talking with his elders.

Scarlett sat aside and quietly watched them chat. Looking at Mike's harmless appearance, she concluded.

He was really drunk.

On the way back, Scarlett could not help but ask Mike.

"Are you close with Dr. Harris?"

"Yes. I was in poor health for a while when I was young. It was Dr. Harris who saved me. He also took me to the countryside for a summer vacation."

It was because of this experience that Mike respected Bernard so much.

"I thought you would look down upon everyone. It turns out you also have someone you care about!"

Scarlett had seen many men who thought they were rich and fancy, like those from the Lauren family.

They thought that they had money and power, and had always been bossy towards the housekeeper and the servants.

In that sense, Mike was not that bad.

When she thought of how Mike had been chatting with Bernard warmly, Scarlett felt that her prejudice against him was eliminated a little.

"Piggy, what are thinking about?" While driving smoothly, Mike was able to tap Scarlett's forehead at the same time.

Scarlett pouted and decided to take back her praise towards him just now.

He was still that annoying!

...

Scarlett was unable to walk for the time being because of Mike's willfulness. Although he seemed to make up for it later by taking her to see Bernard, it was still a few days before she could move.

The next day, Mike probably came to his senses and felt guilty about what he had done due to alcohol, or more precisely, jealousy. He mercifully gave Scarlett a day off so that she could rest at home.

Scarlett was lying in bed when someone knocked on the door.
