Chapter 115: Please Let Me Have You
Meanwhile, Scarlett was in a deep sleep, and then she was awakened by someone.
“What are you doing? Please leave me alone! I want to sleep! I’m so tired… just let me sleep, why won’t you?” Scarlett said in anger.
But Francis didn’t say anything. Without a word, he lifted the baby and placed him in Scarlett’s arms.
Scarlett was so tired and frustrated that she felt like she would burst into tears any moment. Despite that, she knew she had to put the baby first and feed him if that’s what he wanted. Scarlett felt very wronged.
“I’m not a nurse, okay? How can you treat me like this?” She cried.
Although she knew what the baby’s needs came first, Scarlett still felt that no one cared about her feelings. She was an independent individual, and she really did not want to become a stay-at-home mother. Scarlett still had aspirations. She still had dreams and goals. She didn’t want to give up her own life for the sake of her baby.
She wiped away her tears, but she couldn’t stop crying. The waterworks just wouldn’t stop, no matter how hard she tried to hold her tears back. The cold tears fell on the head of the baby. But he didn’t react at all. He was just hungry. He stared at his mother with a blank expression on his face.
Leaving her hair loose, Scarlett started feeding the baby.
Seeing Scarlett in pain, Francis felt very guilty for pushing her as hard as he had. It turned out that no matter how hard he pushed Scarlett, he would end up being the one suffering.
Francis knelt down in front of the bed and helped her wipe away her tears. But the tears were like a spring with no stop, and he couldn’t wipe her tears fast enough. They just kept falling down.
“Come on, babe, don’t cry, okay?” He said, trying to comfort her.
However, as she heard what he said, she felt even more aggrieved and depressed. She had been holding all her emotions in for those last few days; hearing Francis’s words made her hurt even more, and she kept on sobbing louder and louder.
The baby was stunned by her crying; he became full very soon this time, and then he closed his eyes to sleep.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Francis put the baby aside on the bed and then turned back to take Scarlett in his arms.
“You get away from me!” She cried as she pushed him away.
“Well, if I leave now, you will cry even more, am I right?” Francis smiled as he gave a kiss on her cheeks and went on, “I know you very well, please don’t cry, my babe!”
“I’m not your babe!” She disagreed in a hoarse voice as she wiped away her tears.
Francis helped her brush her hair with his hands and apologized, “I’m so sorry, it’s all my fault. I should not be treating you like this!” He paused awhile and then continued, “But babe, you gotta think about me, too. I’m not young anymore; as for you, you’re still so young and pretty. I’m really afraid that you will abandon our baby and me. What’s more, you have found excuses to delay us registering our marriage so many times. Don’t you think I’m the one who is wronged?”
Upon hearing what he said, Scarlett was very stunned and stared at him, talking nonsense.
“Well, although I never proposed to you formally, you should know that I love you and I really want to marry you. Are you really going to keep turning me down?” He said as he hugged her and affectionately kissed her neck.
Scarlett leaned against his shoulder and said, “I know that… but I’m hungry now, can we talk about it later after I have something?”
“Are you turning me down again?” he stared at her smilingly.
“Well, I didn’t get enough to eat dinner, and I just fed the baby. So I’m starving now!” She smirked.
“Am I going to have no chance to marry you in this life?” He sighed.
“Well, it all depends on your performance!” Scarlett said as she had her hands around his neck and kissed his chin.
“Well, I can show you, my babe!” He said as he started to take off his clothes.
Upon seeing that, Scarlett realized what he was going to do and tried to get away. But before she could get away, she was pulled back by Francis, and he had her under him. He looked at her with desire in his eyes, as he had not touched Scarlett while she had been pregnant. Now he was on fire. He couldn’t control his appetite.
“Please let me have you, and give me a chance to prove to you that I’m worthy, okay?”
“The baby is here…” She said, embarrassed, as she pointed to the sleepy baby.
But before she finished her words, she was stopped by Francis’s kissing. When they kissed, they were on fire. Their passion could burn an entire city down.
What happened next signaled the end of their cold war. It was a long and wonderful night, and the two of them slept with their arms wrapped around one another.

At about six o’clock in the morning, the baby woke up and started wriggling around in bed. He looked around with his eyes, which were brighter than the twinkling stars at night, searching for his dear parents. Because he was rolled up like a burrito in a warm sleeping bag, he couldn’t move much. He rubbed his eyes and then started to cry.
Scarlett buried her head in the sheets and gave Francis a kick, making him get up to check on the baby. After that, Francis got up and held the crying baby up across Scarlett. He changed his diaper and washed his face gently. Meanwhile, the baby kept trying to lick Francis’s fingers. Francis smiled and put the baby back into the mother’s arms.
Francis carefully lifted up her shirt and put the baby next to her. Fortunately, the baby was very smart, and he moved toward her breast instantly.
