Farewell To My Endless Love

Chapter 185 Possessiveness

Charles' POV:

Grandma was more than happy to see me and Scarlett return to the Moore family mansion together. She even gave me a wink when she saw us together.

Looking at her, I shook my head helplessly.

Upon seeing that, her smile faded away, and she muttered, "You really are useless!"

What had I done now? Besides, it was really hard for me to figure out what was on Scarlett's mind. I had already told her a million times that I really loved her, but she kept refusing to believe me.

Grandma waved to Scarlett and said, "Scarlett, come have dinner with us."

"Okay, Grandma."

The dinner spread was indeed quite sumptuous, from simple sandwiches, pies to exquisite steak, and lamb chops, everything was prepared to perfection.

Looking at me, Grandma motioned for me to sit next to Scarlett.

"Where did you have lunch?" I took the initiative to make conversation with Scarlett.

"I had lunch with William at a restaurant near the TV station." Scarlett seemed to be deliberately emphasizing the fact that she had lunch with William, just to piss me off.

"Didn't you say that you aren't that close with him? Why did you have lunch with him, then? It might cause people to misunderstand your relationship, don't you agree?" I retorted, feeling a little jealous.

"Charles, it's none of your business!" Scarlett scolded.

I wanted to say more, but Grandma walked out of the kitchen with a dish in her hands. "Scarlett, Charles sent me a message mentioning that you are coming tonight for dinner, so I specially cooked a few more dishes. Try them and see if you like them."

"Thank you, Grandma. I am sure I'll enjoy them," Scarlett replied happily, which was completely different from the way she treated me.

Grandma seemed to notice that, and said with a smile, "Scarlett, why don't you stay here with James tonight? Surely, he wants to be with his parents."

"That would be completely pointless, because Scarlett doesn't want to stay here," I said indignantly.

"I'll be with James in the nursery tonight. After all, Charles and I are divorced, so it won't be appropriate for us to sleep in the same bed," Scarlett said bluntly.

All of a sudden, the air in the room felt unusually cold.

Hearing her cruel words, I felt my heart ache.

"Grandma, I'm full. I'll go upstairs to check on James. Enjoy yourselves." With that, Scarlett stood up and left the table.

I put down the tableware. Watching her receding figure, I felt powerless.

'Scarlett, what on earth do I have to do to make you forgive me?' I thought to myself.

A while later, my father's voice brought me back to reality. "Charles, why are you sitting there in a daze?"

"Dad..." I said to him sullenly.

"Is Scarlett back?" he asked, sitting down at the table.

"Yes, she came to see James."

"What's going on between you two? Did she find out about the fake divorce?"

"Dad, how do you know about it?" I was stunned.

"The lawyer told me, of course!"

"Please keep it a secret for me. I don't want her to know the truth yet."

"Why so?" Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

"I've done a lot of hurtful things to her in the past. Consider this as my way of making it up to her. I just hope that she will accept me again someday."

Without saying more, my father nodded at me.

"Don't tell anyone about it," I added, glancing at the servants.

"Understood, sir." The servants understood my warning immediately.

"You may leave now. I want to talk to my son in private." There seemed to be something on my father's mind.

"Dad, what's the matter?" "I heard that Nate is going to hold a banquet at the MC Hotel tonight. Do you know the guests he's inviting?" My father asked in a low voice.

"Dad, don't worry. There is no one who can save him now. He deserves everything he gets!" I promised him.

"That helps put my mind at ease. You should go upstairs. Scarlett and James are waiting for you," he urged me.

"Alright, then. Enjoy your dinner, Dad."

Saying that, I walked to the master bedroom upstairs, and pushed open the door, but no one was inside. Seeing that, I immediately walked to the nursery.

I gently pushed the door open, and saw Scarlett standing beside the crib, playing with our son while he was pulling the buttons on her shirt playfully.

"My darling, Mommy loves you." Scarlett leaned over and kissed James' tender face.

I couldn't help but walk to the crib. Scarlett turned to me and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I came here to see James." With that, I tenderly pinched my son's face.

I glanced at Scarlett and reminded, "Your shirt buttons are open."

She immediately buttoned up her shirt, blushing.

"Get out."

"I have the right to stay here with my son."

Looking at her blushing face, I had an urge to pull her into my arms and kiss her.

"If you don't leave now, I am going to call the others and tell them that you're trying to molest me!" Scarlett was standing, but because she was so short, she had to look up at me.

I ignored her and asked, "James, tell me, would you like daddy to be with you tonight?"

James looked at me blankly. A while later, he opened his cute mouth and blew out a bubble.

While I was caught off guard, Scarlett pinched my face with her left hand. It was the first time that she had done such a bold thing to me ever since we separated.

I was stunned for a moment, but a second later, I felt the pain and hissed, "Woman, do you know what you are doing?"

Scarlett let go of my cheek and said, "What? My son and I don't want your company tonight!"

She then pushed me out of the room, and closed the door on my face. Feeling reluctant, I walked back to the master bedroom, rubbing my face.
