Chapter 5
Ethan denched his fists and glared at Scarien
She knew exactly what he wanted to say
Taking a Isbored breath, she slumped to the floor with no energy left ||
Her ear was still ringing from his slap as she rubbed it gently
She began refolding the dothes scattered across the floor.
“Is this what you ve been waiting for? Divorce me so you can marry Summer?
Two more requests left. You wouldn’t waste all that effort, would you? Honestly, you’ve half–assed the first two requests. Maybe you don’t want this divos after all?
She looked up into his eyes]
His dark gaze filled with contempt.]]
“Scarlett, you should know your place. Too bad you don’t
Fine. I’ll do this third request. But remember, the Reid family won’t protect you anymore. Touch Summer again and I’ll make you fucking wish you were di
rly to herself]
Scarlett laughed bitterly to
Anyone could talk tough.
Back when they fought the most, Ethan was never a match for her.
Besides, she’d soon give him exactly what he wanted without him lifting a finger.]
Ethan called summer to comfort her, arranging for her early return to New York
Watching him protect Summer so carefully made Scarlett’s heart ache.[]
So Ethan could love someone after all
Just not her
When han returned, Scarlett still hadn’t finished packing her clothes
He couldn’t stand walching anymore and yanked her up, bending down to pack them himbet.[]
“God, you’re useless. Can’t even park this little bit of stuff. Anyone would think you’re dying with how weak you are[]
Starien suddenly felt like teasing him ||
am dying How about
about that? Will you regret treating me li
me like that shes g gone? |
dan froze for a second. When he looked up, his face was filled with mockery ||
Regier Dreams on if you died 1 if throw a
a party for three days

York to relebrate
Scarlett Laughed until tears ca
crutching her abdomen ||
Youre Landal We’ve slept together, you know “||
She could feel bri Lody reaching
Back in New York, she spent another wer

Afterward, she went to the mud fully covered up and bought a wig ||
cut your hair?”]]
Scarlett ignored his question and got straight into his car.
“Let’s go
Ethan frowned. He instinctively reached to touch her wig, but she quickly dodged]
We’re in a hurry. Are you coming or what?”
Ethan got in the car. “Just a friendly reminder–less th
than seven days until the Cooling off period ends. You better think fast about those last two requests.”
Scarlett didn’t answer. She kept staring out the window]
She’d been too busy before–busy fighting with Ethan, busy trying to get his attention–and had missed so much of New York’s beauty.
she’d thought if she could stand at his level, they’d share the same view together.
But the truth was, when youre with someone who doesn’t love you, they don’t see you even when you’re right beside them.
Yet for someone he loved, he would bend his proud back
Scarlett’s fourth request was for Ethan to take her to an amusement park.]]
How childish]
Tihan gave her a look of disdain.]
