Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

After finishing up his morning shower, Skyler stood in the doorway, watching the various helpers at the villa working meticulously. They looked like they were taking care not to be too noisy, probably because they didn’t want to wake Scarlett up. Seeing everything happening in front of his eyes, Skyler smiled at himself.

All of a sudden, the sound of Carlos crying floated to Skyler’s ears. Skyler bounded towards Carlos’s room, opened the door, and saw Grace was dressing Carlos with great difficulty as he bawled. She was sweating and obviously stressed out.

“Be good, my sweet boy! Your mother will be very happy to see you all dressed up! Come on now.” She coaxed him gently.

“What’s wrong? Are you being naughty, Carlos?” Skyler said from behind.

Grace turned around, holding the half-dressed baby, and smiled, “Mr. Morris, you’re already up! Did you sleep well last night?”

“Yes, Grace, I slept well. Thank you for asking. Why don’t you let me take care of Carlos there? I can dress for him. Come on, hand him to me.”

Grace stepped back and smiled awkwardly. She felt embarrassed. “Well, it’s just that he’s gotten used to Mrs. Sandler waking him up… he’s not happy that he has to see me instead of his mother….”

“Oh, really? You’re such a naughty boy, aren’t you, Carlos?” Skyler said as he walked over and held Carlos up. Carlos was in tears, and his eyes looked tired and red.

“Let me help you dress, okay? I’ll wash your face and feed you later! You can see how much I love you! Will you play with me?” Skyler said as he patted his shoulder gently.

Maybe Scarlett and Skyler shared a similar smell or something, but Carlos kept mistaking Skyler for Scarlett. He kept cooing and repeated the word “mummy” over and over.

“I’m your uncle, not your mother!” Skyler said as he put him on the bed and dressed him.

Grace breathed a sigh of relief. She went into the kitchen to see if breakfast was ready or not. She wiped the sweat off her forehead.

Carlos was almost one year old, and he really had great strength. In fact, sometimes, he even had enough strength to release himself from Grace’s grip. He would punch people and not realize that he could actually cause damage, too.

Although Carlos was down, he still cooperated with Skyler and let him help with his dressing and washing.

“My good boy, you are the best!” He said. Skyler thought that Carlos was both smart and sweet, so he gave Carlos a big kiss on his cheek. Carlos responded by gripping Skyler’s face and kissing him back.

Skyler chuckled, and Carlos started giggling too. They both looked silly together.

Meanwhile, Scarlett was just getting ready to start her day. She came down the stairs yawning. When Francis went to work, basically no one would wake her up, so she could just sleep in till whenever she pleased. Nonetheless, Scarlett was pretty self-disciplined, so she would wake up without any prompting.

As Scarlett walked downstairs, she saw Skyler and Carlos sitting and laughing together on the mat. Scarlett smiled and said, “It looks like Carlos had really taken a liking to you, Skyler!”Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

By then, Carlos had recovered from his bad mood. He wasn’t angry anymore that he wasn’t greeted first thing by his mother. Carlos pointed at Skyler and whispered something. It looked to Scarlett that Carlos was introducing Skyler to her as his new friend.

Scarlett came up to Carlos and said, “It’s your uncle! It’s your Uncle Skyler, Carlos!”

Right then, Carlos pointed at himself and then at Skyler. Perhaps he was trying to say, “Look at us, we’re friends now.”

Skyler sat cross-legged and said, “Wow, he’s so smart! Sometimes I think Carlos is even smarter than me.”

Scarlett caressed Carlos’s cheek and looked into his bright eyes.

“Well, after all, he is Francis’s blood. If he were not smart, how would he survive in a society like ours?”

“He has great parents. He is fortunate to have you and Francis because he’s sure to be successful in the future with your support and guidance.”

Scarlett put Carlos back on the mat and patted his thigh lightly. She smiled, “Well, he will still have to struggle and fight for what he wants. That’s what we all have to do, isn’t it?”

Carlos turned around to take a look at his mother. He had no idea what she was saying. He crawled towards her quietly.

Skyler shrugged and said, “Hmm, maybe I was mistaken. The father seems strict, and the mother is just a bit unreasonable….”

“Hey, don’t say that! Actually, Francis treats him very well, he doesn’t let me lay a finger on him. Sometimes I’m not sure about his parenting style, to be honest. Spare the rod and spoil the child, isn’t that right?” Scarlett smiled.

“Did our mother ever hit us when we were kids?” Skyler asked.

“No, she didn’t. That’s exactly why I once was so silly that I dared to leave our aunt’s house. Sometimes I think back on that and feel so scared. Anything could have happened to me. What if I had gotten kidnapped? Murdered? Raped? The world is such a dangerous place…” She said.

“Well, speaking of that, how are our aunt and her family?” Skyler suddenly remembered and asked. It felt like he hadn’t seen them in eternity.

“I don’t really know! I have lost contact with them! I did a while ago…” She shook her head. She was lost in thought.

Skyler and Scarlett’s aunt, Anna Morris, had heard the news that Scarlett was now married to Francis Sandler, thanks to Scarlett’s cousin, Caroline Barrow.

“What? Are you saying that Scarlett has married the president of the Sandler Company? Where did you get the news? Is this real? Are you lying to me?” Anna asked loudly in astonishment.

Caroline sat on the sofa wearing a gauzy blue dress. She was quite young, but the dress aged her somehow. She looked old.

“It’s Claire who told me! So it must be true!” Caroline explained.
