Outside the emergency room, Eason kept apologizing to me.

"Bro, I deserve to die. I should have told you earlier."

"I've made you lose so much face."

"Don't worry, I won't recognize her as my sister anymore."

Eason was pledging his loyalty to me, distancing himself from his sister.

I sat in the chair, crossing my legs.

"Tell me about the things I don't know."

Eason was stunned for a moment, then started talking non-stop.

Scarlett's past was truly jaw-dropping.

In college, she acted aloof while hooking up with Professor Jones.

What shocked me even more was that Scarlett had been pregnant, and not just once.

As for the father of the children, even Eason could only guess.

I met Scarlett at a coffee shop.

According to Eason, our encounter was also arranged.

Scarlett knew my family was well-off, so she used a play-hard-to-get strategy on me.I fell for her act completely. She played the perfect role.
