1 Mike, I Want a Divorce

The closed curtains blocked all the sunlight. Scarlett Lauren turned over and habitually leaned to her side. However, she did not feel the familiar temperature.

She half-narrowed her eyes and forced herself to sit up. She blushed when she saw the man who was intimate with her last night walking into the bathroom in his pajamas. She could vaguely see scratches on his sturdy back.

She worked hard in bed last night in order to curry favor with Mike. She wanted him to help the Lauren Group out.

Scarlett suppressed the intense exhaustion and spoke in a soft voice,

"Mike..."

The man stopped and turned to look at her.

Although they got married two months ago, her heart would still skip a beat at the sight of his perfect body shape when he just got up with his wispy hair.

The perfect outline, bushy eyebrows, sharp eyes, a height of 6 feet, and well-shaped muscles. His scattered hair reduced his sharpness and he looked a little lazy now.

He always wore a sulky face. Scarlett rarely communicated with him. She often played numb when she had to face him. So, when she needed his help, she could only raise up her courage to look right into his eyes.

Mike pursed his lips and stared at her with his dark eyes. The woman he spent a wild night with was wrapped in a red silk blanket. She was stiff as she squeezed out a fawning smile. "What did you think about what I told you last night?"

Mike's gaze suddenly turned cold.

Scarlett tugged at the blanket on her body and subconsciously crossed her arms. She didn't know whether it was because of the low temperature in the room or because his gaze was too terrifying, she had gooseflesh all over her arms.

"My blood pressure is low," he spoke after a while.

Scarlett looked at him doubtfully. She asked him to help the Lauren Group. What did it have to do with blood pressure?

"People with low blood pressure will get angry easily when they get up, so don't anger me."

After that, he turned and entered the bathroom. The sound of water rang and his handsome figure was faintly discernible behind the translucent glass.

Scarlett clenched her fists and flipped him off. He was so arrogant!

Thinking that she still had to ask for his help, she took a deep breath and restored her gentle expression. She was thinking about countermeasures.

Mike came out of the bathroom and wore a new set of clothes. His snow-white shirt was neat and tidy, complementing his cold and aloof temperament. He ignored Scarlett, who was in the struggle on the bed. He walked to the wardrobe and found a snow-white, handmade suit jacket. Just as he was about to wear it, she spoke,

"Mike, we are married. We are husband and wife."

"Yes?" He stopped and looked at her while he raised his eyebrows.

Scarlett lowered her head, looking at the sheets. She just thought of a bunch of excuses, but now she felt choked under his sharp gaze.

She cleared her throat and didn't look into his eyes, trying to sound gentle. It was said that Mike liked soft women.

"I think husband and wife should be honest with each other. Also, today is my birthday..." She was trying to act flirty and pouty. Although it was a bit disgusting, in order to achieve her goal, she threw caution to the wind!

"Is that so?" His hand that was buttoning up his jacket stopped for a moment.

"Can you give me a present? That is the Lauren..." She racked her brains and tried to persuade him for the last time.

Mike was listening, but the next moment he heard the word "Lauren", he instantly changed face. He said seriously, "As I said, I don't want to hear that word."

The man did not have much patience, and this was a dangerous topic. If she was smart enough, it would be best not to mention it again.

Scarlett was rejected by him again and again, these days. She could no longer pretend to be gentle and finally threw a fit!

"If you don't deal with this matter, we will divorce!"

Even a servant could get tipped. He enjoyed her service in bed, but now just changed into a heartless man so immediately!

As soon as she said divorce, the man rushed to the beside. He lifted her chin with one hand, and his whole body exuded a cold aura.

"Say it again?"

The man clutched her chin, revealing endless coldness.

"You'd better take back your words." His eyes were cold, and he began to tighten his grasp. She just said so on impulse, but the man's reaction completely aroused her anger.

"Unless you promise me to help the Lauren Group to get out of this crisis!" Who liked to serve this unpredictable man, they could take her job. She had got enough of him!

"Scarlett, no one can threaten me. You'd better remember this!" Mike pushed her away forcefully. He had a wonderful night, but now the good mood was completely gone.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Scarlett wrapped herself in the sheets and quickly jumped in front of him, extending her arms to block him.

"Mike, I know that we are just forced into marriage. You may not have any feelings for me. But there is a problem with the Lauren family. I do not expect you to solve the crisis. At least, for the sake of my efforts these days, please go and comfort my father. Even if you are perfunctory, it is still fine if you do not invest in any capital, okay?"

Scarlett felt that as long as Mike still cared about their relationship, there was no reason to refuse.

Ever since she married him, she had hidden her true color and tried to curry favor with him according to the information provided by her family.

Not to mention that she even cooked according to his preferences. She hurt her fingers several times! Not to mention that she practiced smiling gracefully day and night. Her facial muscles were almost stiff! Not to mention that she forced herself to be a gentle lady. God knew she was never a lady!

She was a virgin. But to hone her skills in bed, she at least watched hundreds of adult movies! And she had to endure his endless desire sexually. She almost broke her waist! It was deadly painful!

However, she clearly underestimated Mike's cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness. He once again rejected her.

"What has it to do with me?"

His cold and ruthless attitude and annoying expression irritated Scarlett. She could not suppress her anger anymore. She screamed, "If you don't agree, then divorce!"

After shouting, she instantly felt extremely refreshed.

To hell with the so-called noble lady!

The man sneered and said word by word, "If this is your insistence, well, let's divorce."

"Sure! I have had enough of you!"

He turned and strode away. His hand on the door handle, he turned to sneer, "What a coincidence. I feel the same!"
