All Chapters of All She Needs: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Dylan had always known how bad Scarlett was with dates, but he had hoped she would remember his birthday just once. However, it had been six years, and she had never once remembered his birthday. If she didn't have her phone, she probably wouldn't remember anyone's birthday at all. He had hoped she would remember this year's, but he was dismayed yet again."I'm disappointed." Dylan pouted sadly.Scarlett chuckled. "At least you haven't given up on me yet."Dylan glared at her. He would never give up on her. No matter what, as long as it concerned her, he would always care. "Well, where's my present, then?" Dylan asked shamelessly with his arm outstretched.She didn't even remember his birthday, so how could she have prepared a present for him? "I told you I forgot about your birthday. I'll give you your gift tomorrow."Dylan retracted his hand to rummage through his bag, his fingers brushing over a small box. He breathed in and decided that it was now or never. "Do you know

Lucas noticed the ring on Scarlett’s finger and thoughtlessly asked, “Did Uncle Dylan give you that ring? Did you accept his proposal?”Scarlett blushed, scratching her head. “I guess you can say that.”“What do you mean you guess? Then what about...” Lucas almost blurted out Jonathan's name, but he managed to seal his lips just in time. “What about what?” Scarlett got curious now that Lucas brought it up.“What about me?” Lucas wondered why his mother had accepted Dylan’s proposal. Did she really not have any feelings for Jonathan?“Pfft.” Scarlett chuckled. “You’re my son; what about it? You can call him Daddy then.”“But he’s not my dad!” Lucas grumbled inwardly. Lucas thought this was all Jonathan’s fault because he was so bad at flirting. Dylan was much better, judging by how quickly Mommy had fallen for him. This was bad; he would have to talk to Jonathan tonight. “Can I not call him Daddy? It’s so awkward.” Lucas whined softly. “Then do you want to continue calling

“Baby, I’m not sure if it's possible to win this case... How about you find the evidence, and I’ll just appear in court? I know I won’t be able to manage. 100 million dollars? This is my biggest case yet.” She could guess what type of client she had for this case, and she was fortunate to have Lucas when things got tough for her.Although the sum of money involved was tempting, Scarlett wasn’t the type to accept a case she wasn’t confident she could win. The money was secondary to her; her main concern was whether she could win the case. A case that needed 100 million dollars had Scarlett thinking that there was a slim chance of winning it. However, since they’d already taken on this case, it was her responsibility to look deeper into it. “Lucas, tell me about this case.”Lucas pretended he didn’t hear her and looked at Scarlett pitifully, his eyes shifting. Scarlett wasn’t dumb, and she suddenly realized something. “Lucas, please don’t tell me you accepted it without taking a look a

Scarlett’s ruffled state brought Jonathan so much joy that he was already humming a tune in his head. He looked pleased, and his good mood was palpable. Lucas heard his mother screaming behind them, and he also noticed the obvious change in Jonathan's mood. He wondered if Jonathan found joy in his mother’s anger. Usually, Lucas would be terrified when his mother got angry and would try to make her happy, but Jonathan was happy instead. He believed that was the reason Lucas was loved by his mother while Jonathan was unable to win her over. He was delighted when he thought about it.They were both difficult people—one was domineering and the other was stubborn. Their personalities were like fire and water, and if they didn’t find a balance, it would be hard for them to get along. Seeing that Scarlett was still five feet away when the elevator doors began to close, Jonathan surreptitiously pressed the button for the doors to reopen. Scarlett assumed that Lucas had pressed the button

"I'll be your assistant then. You can prepare today's dishes." Lucas generously passed the position of head chef to Jonathan, and he graciously accepted.Jonathan picked up the knife and skillfully cut up the carrots, with every piece equally sized, not one too big nor too small. Lucas was impressed with Jonathan's skills, and even though he still thought he was better, he was reassured that tonight’s dinner was in good hands. Scarlett was watching TV on the couch, but she wasn't paying attention as her gaze kept wandering over to the kitchen. It was a heartwarming sight for her to see the two of them busy together.The ring on her finger suddenly felt like it was exuding heat, as if it were burning her skin and punishing her for her infidelity. She glanced at the ring and touched it gently. She knew she should stop having second thoughts when she'd already accepted Dylan's proposal. Yet, if Lucas wanted to acknowledge Jonathan as his father, she would just let him be. She had me
