Chapter 513 He Would Take Care of Leia As Soon As Possiblenovelbin
Simon felt distressed because of that crazily overprotective brother, Blanche.
Every time he tried to play with Rainie or bully her, her annoying brother would show up and kick hisbutt.
Simon figured Aunt Scarlett would give him a beautiful sister and he would let her marry Blanche. IfBlanche bullied him again, his little sister could help him take care of Blanche. Simon thought he wasso smart!
"How do you know Aunt Scarlett is carrying a girl? What if it's a boy?’ Bianca could not contain herlaughter.
The little one was so interesting. Not only did he want to marry her daughter, but he had even arrangedfor her son’s marriage.
"No, Dad says it's a girl, so it must be a girl. I want to have a sister. I don't want a brother."
The little one gave a loud kiss on Scarlett's cheek as he spoke, "Aunt Scarlett, you're going to give mea beautiful sister, aren't you?"
Scarlett's watery eyes brimmed with affection. "Yes, I'll give birth to a baby sister for you."
Bianca was a little surprised when she saw them getting along.
It was said that the devilish young master of the Holston family had a bad temper. He had driven awaymany socialites and ladies whom Jim brought home. How did he get along so well with Scarlett?
Bianca suddenly realized something shocking as she sized them up. Simon's eyes were so similar toScarlett's.
However, why did two people who were not related by blood have almost identical eyes?
A bold idea appeared in Bianca's head.
'Is it because Scarlett resembles Simon's biological mother so Jim is forcing her to stay with him?'
It was just like those cliche novels. The hero's beloved woman unexpectedly died, leaving only theproduct of their love. One day, he suddenly found a substitute who looked similar to his dead lover.Disregarding the heroine's will, the hero thought of every possible method to imprison her with him.
Bianca let her imagination run wild. Then, she looked at Scarlett sympathetically.
"Miss... Ms. Rayne?" The strange look in Bianca's eyes made Scarlett a little fidgety. "Why do you keeplooking at me like that?"
Bianca took Scarlett's hand. It was soft but surprisingly cold. "It's okay, Scarlett. We're kinda friendsnow, so you don't have to call me Ms. Rayne like a stranger. Just call me Bea. Do you have coldintolerance? Why are your hands so cold? You should pay more attention to taking care of your body,or your baby will also have cold intolerance when they're born."
Scarlett smiled at her, revealing two faint dimples. "Yes. Thanks, I'll keep an eye on that. By the way,my cat scratched you that time. I've always wanted to apologize to you but never got the chance. I'm sosorry. I don't know why my cat went crazy. He has always been well-behaved and never hurt anyone..."
Bianca was once again amazed. The girl was indeed a beauty. Her warm smile was gentle, sweet, shy,and timid. She was just like a budding fragrant gardenia, making people see the world in pure white. Nowonder Jim wanted to keep her by his side!
"It's okay. It's been a long time since that happened and I'm okay now. Is your cat alright? Are you stillworking at Blue Honors?" Bianca had forgotten some of the details from that day.
However, the scene of Scarlett crying and holding her dying cat as she pleaded with Percy remainedfresh in her memory.
That cat must have been very special to her.
Otherwise, she would not have shown such a desperate and hopeless expression at the sight of thedying Persian cat.
Scarlett said gratefully, "Yes, Nono's back to full health now. A good friend of mine gave him to me andhe means a lot to me. Thank you for not going after it, or he would have died. I resigned from BlueHonors a couple of months ago. I now take care of Simon at the Holstons' residence while I nurture mybaby..."
Scarlett spoke the last three words somewhat sarcastically. It was as if she was enduring some kind ofhumiliation and pain.
"Scarlett, don't overthink it. Just have the baby. After all, the baby's innocent. We have to go through allkinds of hardships in life, but we'll still get whatever we want in the end." Bianca was not in a position toprobe into the private affairs of others. She wanted to comfort Scarlett further, but she did not knowwhat to say.
Scarlett looked so fragile. Besides, Bianca had a weird intuition that even comforting her would beindescribable torture for Scarlett.
"Get whatever we want? That may be true for others, but it's impossible for me..." Scarlett chuckledsarcastically.
Suddenly, she thought of the familiar woman she had met at Blue Honors and changed the painfulsubject. 'Bea, do you know Leia Norman?"
Rumors of Luke and the Norman family's heiress, Leia, had been all over the place lately. Variousmedia reported that a marriage between the Crawford family and the Norman family was imminent. 1
However, while others might be unaware, Scarlett had come into contact with Luke several timesthrough Jim.
Every time that man talked about Bianca, the love and affection in his eyes were inconcealable. Howcould he possibly marry another woman?
"Yes, we're acquainted." More than acquainted... That woman was trying to steal her man!
Scarlett got lost in her memories. "When you had that incident in Blue Honors, I thought that actressLeia was somehow familiar when I saw her, but for a moment, I couldn't remember who she was. WhenI saw her poster afterward, I remembered we met when we were kids. We grew up in the sameorphanage, and her name wasn't Leia Norman then. It was Leia Shaw. She left after being adopted byMr. Norman and his wife. A lot happened at the orphanage, and I never saw her again. Bea, you'dbetter avoid Leia. She's... She's scheming... You'll suffer..."
Scarlett quietly told Bianca about some of the things that had happened when she and Leia were at theorphanage.
She had foolishly treated Leia as her sister and shared everything with her. She would rather starve sothat she could give Leia the delicious food she tried hard to get.
However, Leia had framed her again and again. In the end, she was left with a bad reputation whileLeia became the most popular kid at the orphanage.
"Yes, I'll be careful. Thanks for warning me." Bianca's contempt for Leia deepened after hearingScarlett's brief description.
At the same time, she broke into a cold sweat. She never expected Leia to be so scheming since shewas a child.
However, Luke had said to leave everything to him. After dealing with the disc incident, he would takecare of Leia as soon as possible.
