WantNovelChapter 397
"You wouldn't dare!" His tone was calm but carried an air of authority that couldn't be ignored.
Scarlett internally grumbled but obediently withdrew her hand.
So bossy! So controlling!
She quickly shifted on the couch, trying to put sdistance between them. But just as she started
to move, Steven grabbed her arm and pulled her back. She stumbled, landing right against his
chest.
His embrace was warm, and she instinctively looked up to glare at him, only to be caught in his soft,
tender gaze. Her cheeks flushed red as she quickly lowered her head.
Memories of the previous night flooded her mind-Steven's relentless teasing that left her begging
for mercy. She had only just started to recover, and now she worried... Could he possibly want to-?
Her face grew even hotter as her thoughts spiraled. When had she becso... horny? Maybe he
was just pulling her closer for a look, nothing more.
The more she thought, the more flustered she became. And apparently, Steven noticed her unusual
behavior. His gaze deepened, as though he was trying to read her thoughts.
Before Scarlett could react, he leaned down and brushed a soft kiss against her lips, leaving her mind blank and

"What are you doing?!" she exclaimed, glaring at him.
Steven didn't answer. Instead, he gently placed her back on the couch, leaned over her, and kissed her again—
this time, more firmly, as if to leave no room for protest.
But just as Scarlett felt her heart pound uncontrollably, a sudden, sharp pain in her lower abdomen made her
gasp.
She groaned softly, her face twisting in discomfort. Steven immediately stopped, alarmed.
"What's wrong?" he asked, his voice laced with concern. Did he accidentally hurt her?
Scarlett was now curled up, clutching her stomach with both hands, her expression showing obvious pain.
"Scarlett, what's going on?" Steven's panic only grew as she seemed unable to respond.
Without wasting another second, he grabbed his phone and called his private doctor, insisting he cover as
soon as possible. Luckily, the doctor's clinic was nearby, so the wait wouldn't be long.
While Steven was in the kitchen preparing a glass of warm water, Scarlett struggled to her feet. She made her
way to the bathroom, and as soon as she got there, the realization hit her.
She had started her period!
Unlike before, Scarlett had never experienced this kind of pain. She used to scoff at people who said they
suffered excruciating cramps during their periods, dismissing them as overly tic. But now, with the pain
gripping her, she finally understood just how unbearable it could be.
"Scarlett!" Steven called out, noticing her sudden disappearance. He placed the glass of warm water on the table
and hurried toward the bathroom after hearing sfaint noises.
When Scarlett emerged, she had composed herself but was still clutching her stomach. Steven immediately
swept her into his arms and carried her back to the bedroom, gently laying her on the bed.
Just as he was about to step away, Scarlett grabbed his arm, stopping him.
"1 think it might be..." She trailed off, her forehead damp with cold sweat from the pain. But how
could she explain something like this? How could she admit it was due to her period cramps?
She hesitated, words stuck in her throat, leaving Steven even more anxious. "Just tellalready!"
he urged, his worry evident.
At that moment, the doctor arrived, sparing Scarlett the need to explain. She stayed silent, waiting
for the doctor to assess her condition.
"Please take a look at her. She suddenly started having severe stomach pain," Steven said, his voice
filled with urgency.
After a quick examination, the doctor's lips twitched slightly, clearly trying to suppress a reaction.
Steeling himself, he addressed Scarlett, "Miss Larson, is your cycle irregular?"
Scarlett nodded, feeling a little embarrassed.
The doctor glanced at Steven before explaining, "Mr. Miller, there's nothing serious to worry about.
Miss Larson is experiencing cramps because she ate something cold during her period. For the next
few days, make sure her diet is clean and healthy."
