and blood rushed to his head.

“Put on your cat. F’m taking you somewhere Zachary said. He took the clothes and led Scarlett out

“Zachary, where are we going?” Scarlett asked hurriedly

“Don’t ask. You’ll know when we get there? sald Zachary

When they went downstairs, Lorstal asked, “Where are you going?”

Without looking at her, Zachary replied, “We’re heading out. Don’t wait on us for dinner”

Then, he pulled Scarlett out of the house,

“Mom, did you see that? Zachary is completely being strung along by that hussy. She must have complained to him just now. And now he’s taking her out to buy her things to coax her!” Megan said angrily

“Isn’t it all because of you? Why are you always pissing her off? She’s pregnant with the child of our family, I don’t care what happens to her, but nothing can happen to my grandchild” Lorelai responded as her expression darkened. She was not happy with Zachary treating this woman well.

She knew Scarlett was not as easy to manipulate as Isabella. She did not want to have a daughter in law like her, but Scarlett was pregnant with Zachary’s child. The Winslow family ly had one child in The past four generations. If she had not given birth to Zachary back then, she would not have entered the Winslow family and certainly not had her status today

So, Zachary needed to have a son as soon as possible. She did not care who gave birth to if it was an illegitimate child. She would raise him anyway. This way, Zachary would have another bargaining chip when he inherited the Winslow family’s business in the future. After all, other branches of the Winslow family had been coveling the family business. And their branch had never been prosperous.

Splendid Garden was located in a high end community close to the University of Moutmore. The buildings nearby were all high end residences. When Scarlett was in school, she often thought she would never have the chance to live in such a good house in her life. She did not even dare think about a place like Moonlight Apartment. As long as s could live in Splendid Garden, she felt that her life goal would have been realized.

How, standing in front of the window and looking at the tall (Splendid Garden) sign at the gate of the community in the distance, she felt extremisly

“Do you like it here?” Zachary asked. He hugged her from behind.

Scaripit nodded as she replied, “Yes, Zachary Whose house is this? Why do you have a key?” She blinked her big eyes and stared at Zachary

Zachary laughed and then said, “This fyouse is under my name. You saw it, too, it has three bedrooms and two living rooms. Even if the baby Is born, it’s spacious enough for the three of us to live here”

Scarlett looked at him in shock. “What did you say?” the exclama

Zachary gently gave her a peck. “Let’s move in here. I hire a hovererger to take and pub you when I’m at work, so I can’t protect you. But living here can improw your mood. The baby also ne

Her lips trembled, and she called his name softly

“Why are you crying again? If you cry, the baby will be sad, Zachary comforted as he hugged her lovingly

Scarlett nodded tearfully and smiled. “I’m just touched. Zachary, you’re too nice to me the mate

“Silly, you’re my wife. Of course, I should treat you well. By the way, didn’t you say your mom and broker crew to Modeya, 32 y we bring them over to live with us?” Zachary said as he fixed her hair

Scarlett’s eyes flashed. “Mom won’t come. She’s afraid people will say that her daughter has a sugar daddyada sevding my limelight. She only hopes that I live well and find a man who truly loves me. Then, the hard work the put into song me will be rikt she replied.

Zachary felt moved. “No wonder you’re so nice. It’s all because of your mom. nga of work by tomorrow. Let’s goist them or inves them over for dinner,” he suggested.

Zachary smiled as he agreed, “Okay, that’s settled then. You let them know about the plant

He felt more at ease being here with Scarlett after leaving the mansion and his mom and sister. He did not have to worry about anpre nagging him about Isabella, either

Seeing Isabella in a business suit with a work ID at Maguire Group today had upset him.

Thinking of her cold expression, which was unlike her previous mild and submissive manner, upset him even more.

Only Scarlett was sensible and considerate of him.

His father was stern, his mother naggy, his sister unruly, and his fiancée was always so wimpy. He had been distressed until he met Scarlett She was gentle and considerate, considered him in every situation, and put his opinions first. She knew how to have fun, unlike hatella, was always boring. So, Zachary naturally preferred Scarlett.

“Scarlett, marrying Isabella involves the interests of both our companies, so we can’t register our marriage yet. Can you forgive me?” Zachary asked cautiously.

Scarlett smiled faintly and leaned into Zachary’s arms. “Silly, of course, I understand. It’s enough that I have your heart. As long as you’re good to me, I won’t feel wrong at all,” she said.

“Scarlett, you’re too nice,” said Zachary as he hugged her tightly.

He also felt relieved. In fact, he had been impulsive and wanted to take Scarlett to the City Hall for their registration earlier. But he calmed down halfway through. He could not ruin the plan set by his dad and Nathan

Scarlett smiled gently.

Of course, she knew Zachary was going to the City Hall when they left home and that he changed his mind on the way

However, it did not matter. Marriage was only a matter of time. To get more money and power, having a marriage license did not matter. The status of the lady of the Winslow family was hers anyway.

She wanted Isabella’s life and the properties under her name. She believed it was a lot of money. Otherwise, the Winslow family and the Ingram family would not be making such a big fuss over it.

She was in no hurry. Things would progress one step at a time.

Zachary returned to the Winslow residence. When Lorelai heard that he had arranged for Scarlett to live away from home, she became very worried.

She asked, “There’s no one taking care of her. What if something bad happens to the child?”

“Weren’t you afraid anything bad would happen to the child when Scarlett was being bullied at home every day?” Zachary replied calmly.

“You…” Lorelai uttered as she got mad.

“What do you mean by that, Zachary?” Megan asked. She was angry, too.

“Let them move out. You can go there when you have time. Arrange a housekeeper and take care of her,” said Terence to Lorelai coldly.

It was a good idea for Scarlett to move out. Otherwise, it would not be easy to explain himself to others. Because no matter how much he

emphasized the marriage contract between Zachary and Isabella, having a pregnant woman at home was a good enough pretext for gossip.

Over the weekend, Zachary and Scarlett went to Fiona and Felix’s house.

Looking at the old house and furniture, Zachary frowned. “Scarlett, how could you let Ms. Pearson and Felix live in a place like this? This

won’t do. I’ll ask someone to help them move tomorrow,” he said.

Felix immediately beamed with joy, but Fiona blocked him and handed Zachary a cup of coffee. “No need. We’re used to living here. We can

afford the rent as it isn’t too expensive. You don’t need to worry about us. As long as you’re living well, it’s fine,” Fiona said.

Scarlett pulled Zachary to sit on the couch and softly said, “My mom raised me and Felix by herself. We’re used to difficult times. Her only wish is that Felix and I can live good lives.”

Fiona sat opposite them and smiled lovingly at Zachary. “That’s right. As a mom, it’s fine as long as our kids are doing well. Seeing you love

each other so much, I couldn’t be happier,” she said.

Felix stood by the door with his arms crossed as he watched Fiona and Scarlett. He reached out his little finger and pricked his ears. The people he admired most in the world were his mom and sister. They did not even blink when they lied. His sister had studied a lot, but her charm was exactly the same as that of his mom.

He was actually worried about the handsome boy sitting on the couch.

Meanwhile, Zachary’s heart felt warm. Everyone said that Scarlett was with him for his money, but she had never asked him for it. Even Fiona was so sensible. Although Felix seemed a little arrogant, Scarlett told him that their father spoiled him too much when he was still alive, so Felix developed some bad habits. She resolutely refused to let Zachary help Felix find a job and insisted on making him find one himself. He really felt that he had found a treasure. A girl as beautiful, innocent, highly intelligent, and self–respecting as Scarlett was really rare.

Fiona had cooked a table of food for him, too.

Her cooking was much better than their housekeeper’s.

“Zachary, try this soup. I’ve been simmering it all afternoon. Scarlett loves it very much. When she was young, we were not that well–off. I had to save food money for a week to make this for her. But I feel satisfied when I see them enjoying it,” Fiona exclaimed as she served him soup.

Scarlett had a happy smile on her face.

Zachary took a sip and nodded. “Yes, it’s really delicious, Ms. Pearson,” he exclaimed.

“Then have more,” said Fiona happily as she urged them to eat..

Felix was already ordered by Fiona and Scarlett in advance to eat more and talk less. For the sake of his future wealth, he was willing to sit and watch them play a show of filial piety. Fortunately, he had good self–control and did not spit out his food.

Fiona looked at them and teared up. She said, “Zachary, I leave Scarlett to you in the future. Their father died young. I had to raise them alone and earn money to support the family. I’m afraid their upbringing may be unsatisfactory. If Scarlett is not sensible, please be patient with her. I’m really happy to see you today.”

Her voice was a little choked, and the gently wiped the comers of her eyes with a tissue.
