Oops! My Secret Baby Is Caught By His Top-Lawyer Daddy! Novel

---- Chapter 67: Even a Superstar Gets Jealous of Simple Happiness The moment Clara stepped into Scarlett's apartment, she made a beeline for the floor-to-ceiling windows and gasped, "Scarlett, you superstar! This place is unreal! Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous!" Sierra had arrived a bit earlier and already had her own freak-out. She rolled her eyes and teased, "Girl, close that mouth of yours. You're about to drool on the floor." Scarlett shot them both a look. "If anyone's allowed to drool, it sure as hell ain't you. Mrs.

Devereaux, come here-look at that!" She tapped Clara on the shoulder and pointed across the bay. "See that little island? That's Eclipse Bay, Greystone's luxury villa district. Your husband lived there before you two got married. Never been? The view from there is ---- even better than mine!" Clara's eyes widened. She genuinely had no idea! Riverbend Villas wasn't shabby by any means-it was a solid mid-to-high-end neighborhood-but compared to Eclipse Bay? It was a whole different league. And yet, when she suggested moving into Riverbend Villas, Aaron hadn't even blinked. He'd just agreed.

Who knew he used to live somewhere that high-end? Scarlett noticed her dumbfounded expression and huffed. "Okay, ground rules. No flaunting your lovey-dovey nonsense tonight. I'm heartbroken, and what I say goes!" Sierra gave her a mock salute. "Fine, fine. Your boobs, your rules." Scarlett grabbed a throw pillow and aimed it at her head. ---- Sierra held up another in defense. "No offense, but look at you-gorgeous, rich, famous-just wink and the hottest guys will come crawling. Why bother with marriage? That's so... basic." Scarlett slumped a little, clearly in a mood.

"Is it really too much to want what everyone else has? A normal life, some love, a family? Even superstars get jealous of simple happiness." Sierra suggested with a grin, "Then maybe try another guy? If you only keep one fish in the tank, of course you'll be sad when it dies. Try keeping ten. See what happens." Scarlett poured herself a glass of red wine and took a long sip. "Harder than it sounds. But after tonight, maybe I'll give it some thought." Sierra leaned in curiously. "Seriously?

Derek's great-handsome, charming, sweet, from a good family-but you've got your pick of hot, eligible men. Celebrity heartthrobs, brooding CEOs, those sweet-talking idol trainees. None of them ever made your heart flutter?" The truth was, plenty of men chased her. But ---- none of them were him. Scarlett smiled bitterly and changed the subject. "Enough talking. Pick your poison! Anyone who walks out of here sober tonight-I'm cutting you off for life!" Sierra didn't even bother with a glass.

She popped open a bottle of 1664, clinked it against Scarlett's wineglass, and said, "Down for the count!" Scarlett downed her drink in one go, then gave Sierra a thumbs-up. "Now that's a real friend!" Clara quietly reached for a bottle of pink bubbly, but Scarlett rushed over to stop her. "Hey hey hey, what are you doing? That stuffs basically soda. You trying to punk me?" Clara calmly replied, "I'm a total lightweight. One drink and I'm out. So what do you want-me chatting with you, or passed out on your couch?" Scarlett thought about it. Yeah...

if Clara passed out right away, the fun would be over before it ---- started. She backed off and poured herself another glass instead. Sierra watched Scarlett closely. "You really can't let Derek go, huh? Still pining for him?" Scarlett nodded. "Maybe it's just that whole wanting-what-you-can't-have thing. Feels like he's stuck under my skin." Sierra raised a brow. "Nah, I'll tell you what it is. He was your first. Am I right?" Scarlett didn't deny it. She even gave her a mock bow. "Damn, girl. Didn't know you were such a love guru. Respect." Sierra smirked proudly.

"Hey, it's common knowledge-first love is the hardest to forget. But I gotta say, Scarlett, I'm impressed. In this chaotic industry, you're like a rare gem. You didn't even fall for anyone until now?" Scarlett shrugged. "You still need to meet the right person, you know? What about Clara? Why so quiet over there?" Clara opened her mouth, but Sierra jumped in
