All Chapters of Billionaire’s Overwhelming Love: My Flash-Marriage Husband Is Super Clingy: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The approach of the night saw lights turned on. The Richards’ estate was brilliant in lights. There were all kinds of worldly renowned luxury sedans pulling up in the car park that was situated in front of the luxurious castle-like residence, putting the situation in the same class as an international luxury car show. Large Swarovski crystal chandeliers were hanging off the ceiling of the grand and sumptuous golden-themed banquet hall, radiating a faint gold hue to every corner of the room. Clinking glasses and toasting, this was a gathering of the prominent, with each one of them capable of shaking the world of politics and business at the snap of a finger. Currently, they were exchanging conversations in groups of twos and threes with a glass of wine in hand. The moment Scarlet, holding Keanu by the arm, stepped into the hall, she could immediately sense the snoopy, curious, jealous, contemptuous looks from the crowd. It was as though she was a lab rat. Breaking out in cold s

Keanu brought Scarlet to the VIP lounge and made a call to have the maid send in some ice and ointment. Sitting on the sumptuous European-style sofa, Scarlet sank her line of vision toward the man who went down on his knees before her. He held an ice pack wrapped around with a white towel and applied the cold compress against her hand. As her pupils dilated, her heart was filled with warmth. She could have done it herself or sought help from the maid for this trivial matter, but he attended to it personally. Noticing the tremble in her hand, he asked, “Did I hurt you?” “No, no.” Scarlet softly shook her head. “The bruise might darken and it’d look ugly if ice compress isn’t applied on time. The ice can be cold so bear with it for a while.” He fixated on the application, careful not to invoke any discomfort as he was under the impression that she shriveled in quiver due to the coldness. Hence, he did not realize the change in her. “Okay,” she gently responded, lowering her h

“Don’t you know that you can scare people to death?” Scarlet widened her teary eyes and glared at him between weeps. She shuddered at the thought of the horrifying memory creeping up on her that instant. “Ms. Scarlet, I don’t mean to scare you. Don’t cry, alright?” Kayden carefully picked her up from the floor. He was filled with regret by his abrupt actions that scared her to tears. He fished out a neatly folded handkerchief from the pocket of his suit to wipe the tears on her face. Nevertheless, Scarlet took a step back to shy away from his hands. She said in a hoarse voice, “Is something the matter? I should return to the hall if it’s nothing.” She had not forgotten the reminder to keep a distance from Kayden. “Wipe your tears.” He forcefully but thoughtfully stuffed the handkerchief in her hand. Lowering his eyes to hide his sense of defeat, he spoke in a gentle voice that carried a hint of somber, “I just want to see Ms. Scarlet for a little while.” He knew for some

A hearty and witching voice cut in before Keanu could answer. “I wonder if I can have the honor to share the first dance with Ms. Scofield?”Although Keith was still speaking, his hand had already forcefully grabbed her delicately fair hand and the other arm had reached around her waist. Following an elegant twirl, he brought her to the dance floor. Like a steady flow, he moved with such fluidity and swiftness in a heartbeat, leaving no chance for Sharon to refuse. Keith and Sharon took the opening dance to swing the ball to full gear. The man’s good looks and the woman’s graceful beauty attracted all eyes outside the dance floor on them. As Sharon’s skirt fluttered to the rhythm of Keith’s footsteps on the dance floor, she shot daggers at him. She bluntly spoke through clenched teeth, “Mr. Richards-Reeves, I don’t want to dance with you.” Her heart was set on the aloof and distinguished Keanu as a dance partner. “Ms. Scofield, we’re now the center of attention in this bal

“Scarlet, I didn’t think you’d be really good in the waltz,” suppressing his shock, Keith witchingly narrowed his eyes and complimented her. It had never occurred to him that Sharon could be in close proximity with his brother... Keith felt that he did Scarlet wrong for accepting the bet on a whim. “I took up dancing during my university years,” Scarlet faintly replied. Although she did not have a chance to attend any ball, she had never neglected her training and would practice from time to time. “Scarlet, focus on finishing this number with me and I’ll help you steal Brother back and return him to you later,” Keith said as he secretly observed the situation over there. Amused by his exaggerated tone and expression, the gloominess clouding over Scarlet lifted a little. She tried hard to focus on keeping up with Keith’s footsteps. Sharon curled her red lips into an alluring smile. Lowering her eye level in shyness, she tenderly muttered a confession with melodious music i

Scarlet sat down on the bench inside the hexagonal pavilion with Keanu. The windy breeze carried the fragrance of the flower over, soothing her mood for quite a bit. “Keanu, Ms. Scofield, she likes you right?” Scarlet finally asked the question that had troubled her the entire night. “Mhmm, she just confessed to me,” said Keanu softly as he took his coat off to put it on her. “What?” She squealed and was so shocked that she almost bolted up. That woman, Sharon Scofield, already knew he was married. He already had a wife yet she confessed to him. “I rejected her.” Scarlet nodded and grunted with a heavy mood. She said with a similar tone, “She’s beautiful and her body is as perfect as a sculpture. She’s elegant, graceful, and has a wealthy background, why did you reject her?” She was not trying to accept defeat or whatsoever. To be honest, Sharon was a beautiful woman, flawless in fact. She had the looks of an angel and the seductive body of a devil. Even she was deeply im

Dinner ended. After all the guests had left, it was already late. The Richards passionately urged Scarlet and Keanu to stay for the night, so the two settled down in the manor. Keanu brought Scarlet back to the room and said, “It’s late. Wash up and go to bed, I still have some things to do.” “Okay. Don’t stay up too late… I mean you’re still injured. Staying up late is bad for your recovery.” Added Scarlet as she realized her words might cause a misunderstanding. “I got it.” He turned around and closed the door when he went out. Scarlet curled her lips into a warm smile. The man must have realized that his presence would cause discomfort to her, so he went out, allowing her to occupy the room for herself. Inside the closet were clothes fitting Keanu and herself and they were all brand new, most of them even had the price tag on. Scarlet simply grabbed her pajamas and went into the bathroom. Keith looked at Keanu with a strange look. “Second Brother, did Scarlet just chas

When Keanu returned to the room, he saw a woman sleeping soundly on the bed. The way she slept looked peaceful and sweet. He softly grinned and a hint of tenderness flashed across his icy cold gaze. He put his notebook aside and elegantly walked into the bathroom. …When Scarlet woke up, she saw an elegant and graceful man sitting on the couch in his formal wear. She accidentally locked gaze with him, the coldness and dull gaze caused her to nervously avert her gaze. “M-Morning!” she greeted him with unease as she looked down after realizing the man was staring at her. She was clueless about how long he had been watching her sleep. Did she drool on the bed? Did she sleep in an ugly posture? She was wondering how she looked in her sleep. “Morning,” he said. “How long have you been awake?” Scarlet simply diverted the topic. She had a difficult time sleeping last night, so she was clueless when Keanu came back or when he woke up. Keanu did not answer so she added. “Are yo

“No, no no, tell me!” Scarlet noticed Keanu stood up from the couch and wanted to leave. She jumped off the bed and latched on his arm, saying, “I’ll never doubt you again and I’ll never interrupt you.” Like her or not? It was just a simple answer that would take him a few seconds yet he spent an entire night studying the results on the Internet. His effort was proof that he treated her question seriously and he wanted to answer her feelings with all his heart. He turned around and stared at her pinkish and petite face, looking like she wanted to be pampered. Her eyes were glimmering like stars in the sky. No one could get mad at her when she put on such a look. “Keanu, did I tell you that your arrogant and serious look was extremely powerful? And your serious face looked even more handsome than usual. Your voice is melodious, it’s heavy and steady, it sounded like the best cello which lingered in the air for hours. It tasted like the most fragrant red wine…” She knew her dis

The Richards dining area. Casey, who was having breakfast, heard footsteps. She looked up and saw the two walking down side by side. Scarlet looked happy and energetic with a smile on her. On the other hand, her own son looked as cold as usual but there was a hint of dark circles under his eyes, making him look rather tired. She immediately remembered what her younger son told her about the second master’s weak health. She could not help but frown and she started to wonder whether it was because of the injury that had caused the tiredness. “Scarlet, how’s your sleep last night? Did you get used to the bed?” Casey offered her concerns. “Thank you, Mother. I had a good sleep last night,” said Scarlet. Since Scarlet was not looking awkward or uncomfortable, Casey took it as a sign to verify her speculations. She added with a smile. “I’m glad that you had a good sleep. I’m worried that you aren’t used to the new environment. I heard that you don’t have any class this morning, s
