Quinn rolls his eyes, “All the insiders know that Scarlett is his woman. Who dares to marry her?”
“It is just an ordinary clerk instead of an insider.”
Quinn is astonished, “Does she upset Aydin on purpose?”
“I have called Scarlett to ask about it just now. She is serious and has even taken wedding photos with that man.” Quirico hands the cellphone to Quinn, “Just that man, who is not handsome nor rich. I don’t know why Scarlett likes him. She has been dating with Aydin for ten years. If she had insisted for one or two years, she would be the first choice when the Wen family force Aydin to get married. But now she chooses to be married with another man. She has made it through for so many years in vain, no? What is she thinking about?”
Quinn scans the photos on the phone, which look very common and can be taken easily with several hundred yuan.
The man is also very ordinary, but looks at Scarlett with gentle eyes.
Quinn gives the cellphone back to Quirico, “I will go to find Scarlett to have a word later.”
“Are you free today? Don’t you need to take care of Wiphy?”
“Wiphy has gone back home with his mommy.”
Quirico and Caelan exchange a glance, “Does Wiphy call Yaffe mom?”
“Yeah, he likes Yaffe very much.”
Aydin, who is sleeping all the time, suddenly burst out shouting, “Unless I am dead, I won’t allow you to marry another man.”
The three of them look at each other for a while, and Quinn says, “I will go to find Scarlett first. Just take care of him. Caelan, tell me before you leave, so we can have a farewell party.”
“Of course. Go to deal with Aydin’s matter first.”
…
In the suburban area
Quinn parked the car in front of an ordinary residential building.
It is an old building, and there is a small garden in the front, where the flowers are common in the bird and flower market.
Quinn stands in front of the rusty iron gate, but doesn’t use his hands to push it open.
He takes out the cellphone and calls Scarlett.
After a while, a familiar phone ring arises inside.
A soft and pleasant female voice comes, “Hello, Quinn.”
“I am in front of your house.”
Scarlett’s voice pauses, “Quirico has talked a lot with me and I have already explained. Quinn, I don’t want to meet anyone related to him, especially you, his friend.”
“Do you think I will leave just with your several words?”
Scarlett pauses and says, “Wait.”
Quinn gets back into the car, looking at the woman who walks out slowly from the small building.
It is not a beautiful woman, but she has the lingering charm, tranquil and outstanding.
Quinn has seen Scarlett many times, who wore luxury brand before.
But now she is wearing low-end clothes, without makeup on face, clear and light, looking exceptionally beautiful.
Scarlett walks to the passenger seat and knocks the window.
Quinn winds down the window, “Get in the car.”
“I will drive you around.”
Quinn says nothing, but follows Scarlett after getting out of the car.
Scarlett walks on a path with Quinn, and they sit down in a pavilion casually established by the road.
Quinn looks at the rails in the pavilion, not moving.
Scarlett smiles, “Quinn, you also think I made a hasty decision?”
“Hurrying to be married like this means little possibility of happiness.”
“What about you? You have got married suddenly with a woman of new acquaintance.”
“We are different.”
“So are we. Compared with men, women are always disadvantaged, especially those men with wealth and power like you. Who can dispute with you?” Scarlett forces a smile.
“Do you find another man to upset Aydin because he doesn’t want to be married with you?”
“I am not that bored. Have been waiting for ten years, what else can I be afraid of? I am just tired of such life. Well, did he love me? If he did, could he throw a sum of money to me and had me abort the child? Do you know what I am thinking of when facing the doubtful expression of the doctors and nurses? How did I feel every time when I faced the provocation of those girlfriends with whom he played with outside? As his friends, you think he will play around just for a few more years and it will be okay. When the Wen family forces him to get married, I will naturally be married to him.” Scarlett wipes her tears and his voice begins to tremble, “It is just a possibility. The Wen family won’t absolutely ignore my efforts for these years, but why does no one talk about the marriage of us? I am already 29 years old, and will be 30 years old next year.”
Scarlett takes a deep breath and continues, “I am in very bad health because of frequent abortions. Maybe I can’t be pregnant in the future. Will the Wen family want a daughter-in-law like me? I think they won’t. Besides, after being married with Aydin, I don’t need to think what kind of life I will live, which will be the same as that in these ten years. I have no expectations towards this kind of life. The man I meet now is not as rich as you are, but he takes care of me and is very considerate to me. I don’t care whether we will live a poor material life. We do not give up making efforts, and there will be no problem for us to live a well-off life.”
“Do you think he will not care about your past?”
“I have told him all those things and he said it doesn’t matter.” Scarlett looks at Quinn, “Do you think it is incredible? But I can’t feel he is cheating and lying to me.”
“I still think you have taken a risky action. Aydin is not a person without sentiment. He will not owe you since you have accompanied him for ten years.”
“But I need love, not debt nor money.” Scarlett looks at the forest far away with leisure eyes, “Go back to tell him that I don’t hate him. I am also partly wrong for being like this and coming to such a situation after ten years’ life, so there is no one to blame. His future fiancée will definitely better than me, and he doesn’t need to be sad for me for a long time. Just tell him to have fun as he likes.”
After speaking, Scarlett turns to look away from Quinn. She stands up and goes back on the coming way.
Quinn stands still there, without commenting on Aydin and Scarlett’s matter.
What Aydin has done is quite common in their aristocratic circle. Many people play the same as before even after getting married. As long as both parties agree before marriage, the couple will turn a blind eye, or have their own fun.
But he has to admit that this kind of way really hurts.
For men of this kind of class, even if they want to get married after playing till the age of 40, there will be a crowd of young women aged tens or twenties coming straight over.
But women are different.
Even if they are rich, powerful and beautiful, they will have less choices on marriage partners once they are over 30 years old.
Even according to the kind of breakup way between Aydin and her, she will not have any compensation, let alone the breakup fee.
Finally, she is the most disadvantaged.
