Chapter 77 - Boss Wants Peace? No Way!

Outside the door, Mike listened to the cries coming from inside. His fists clenched and then loosened.

He really wanted to push the door open and strode into the room. Then he would hug her and order her to stay by his side.

However, the luggage she had packed, the clothes she had changed, and the photo of her and Richard hugging were like a knife stuck in his heart, making him breathless.

He pounded hard on the wall.

"Damn it! How could she secretly go out with another man, and even lied to me after coming back?" Mike thought angrily.

But he just couldn't throw this hateful little liar out of his heart.

Since she didn't love him, then she didn't deserve his love. Mike forced himself to turn around, not to see her, not to listen to her crying.

But her face, her tears and her voice had been deeply engraved in his soul, lingering.

Damn it!

She had only been away from him for a few years. How could she allow another man into her heart?

Scarlett belonged to him alone from beginning to end. Only she could affect his emotions, so it was her fault!

Mike drove all the way home at top speed angrily.

As soon as he entered the room, he smelled the sweet fragrance of pastries.

He hurriedly walked to the dining table without changing his shoes. Those beautiful desserts were carefully sealed.

He opened them, only to find they were all to his taste.

Wasn't she fooling around with another man? How could she have the time to cook?

Then he found a sticky note on the table.

It was her beautiful handwriting on the paper.

"There is soup in the soup pot. It should be still warm when you come back. Remember to drink it. Don't stay up late. I'll cook mango pancake for you tomorrow morning. Love you!"

She also drew a little ghost face on the paper.

Mike walked to the kitchen and saw the soup pot. Its time was set in advance. The time showed that she had been at his house for the past few hours.

Could it be that he misunderstood her?

But why did she change clothes? Mike suddenly remembered something. He walked into the laundry room and found the clothes that were thrown in the laundry basket.

It was Scarlett's long-term habit to put dirty clothes in the laundry basket as long as she saw them. But sometimes even she herself would forget about it.

Mike picked up her clothes and saw the coffee stains on them.

Scarlett tried to explain to him before, but he ignored. Now those words were suddenly clear to him.

"Wendy poured coffee on me.

"You are my only love, Mike." He recalled her words.

He clenched the clothes in his hand and closed his eyes.

He had misunderstood her.

He had become irrational because of jealousy. Now he finally realized that Scarlett was almost tied to him, she didn't have the time to go out with Richard.

How could he let Wendy go because of his jealousy?

Thinking of Scarlett's actions just now, Mike was depressed.

Even if she was stubborn, she endured her temper and explained to him again and again. How did she make it?

He was regretful for those hurtful words he blurted out. Damn Wendy!

He was so angry with Wendy that he immediately called the private detective and ordered them to investigate her private life. Once finding an opportunity, they would strike!

Thinking about Scarlett's uncontrollable crying, Mike was guilty. Despite the rain, he grabbed his car keys and rushed out again.

By the time he arrived at Scarlett's house, his clothes were already drenched.

At the door, he saw the ashes of clothes, the fruit knife and the broken phone on the ground. Everything was the way they were.

He rushed into the house. Scarlett was still sitting with her arms holding her legs. The handcuffs on her wrists made her slender wrists red.

Mike was shocked at her expression.

From the time he came in, she had been expressionless.

She just immersed in her own world, as if he didn't exist.

Mike suddenly realized that all the affection between them had gone. Scarlett's attitude towards him was just like when they got married.

No, it was even worse!

At that time, Scarlett would at least pretend to be soft and lovely by his side. Now, she simply ignored him.

She didn't even take a look at him.

A crack began to appear in Mike's powerful heart as he unlocked her handcuffs.

"Scarl, I've found out the truth. You don't have that kind of relationship with Richard. But why did you annoy me on purpose?"

She was silent. There was a hint of ridicule in her eyes.

She had explained so much to him, but he didn't listen at all. She didn't want to talk to him anymore, so she closed her eyes and ignored him.

Mike was upset by her indifference. He suddenly remembered that she was preparing for pregnancy. Was the baby in her belly okay after he scolded at her?

Thinking of the baby, his face became pale. He helped her lie down, but she just pulled the quilt and turned her back to him.

She didn't want to forgive him at all. Even looking at him made her feel annoyed.

Mike was not good at explaining. Since Scarlett ignored him, he went out.

Scarlett heard the sound of sweeping outside. Then she heard another noise and smelled smoke.

Scarlett opened her eyes and felt nervous.

Did Mike go crazy again and burn her house?

She walked out and was shocked at the mess in the kitchen. Mike was looking in confusion at the pot that was emitting black smoke.

In his memory, Scarlett always did this when she cooked fried eggs for him in the open kitchen. Which step was wrong?

What was more, he had also messed up everything in the kitchen.

Last time he cooked, he didn't make such a mess because Scarlett had already prepared the materials for him. Now that he had nothing, it was reasonable to mess up.

He cooked twice in his life for the same woman, and she hated him...

Mike seemed to feel that Scarlett's gaze was not worshipful. He pretended to be dignified and coughed.

"The meal will be ready in a while. Go and rest."

For a man who was so proud and arrogant like Mike, this kind of tone and cooking in person was equivalent to making peace.

But Scarlett didn't accept it.

He had already said all those harsh words and broken her heart. Did he want to make peace so easily?

How could Mike treat her as a pet? When he was happy, he would pet her. When he was unhappy, he would abuse her. Then he came over to coax her and pretend to be a good man.

He was daydreaming!

Scarlett returned to her bedroom and locked the door, still ignoring him.

Mike almost destroyed her kitchen to make a bowl of sticky black stuff. He was embarrassed to admit that it was a bowl of noodles.

He originally wanted to coax the little wild cat, but he felt that this black stuff wouldn't help at all. What should he do?

Mike was a little confused.
