Farewell To My Endless Love

Charles's POV:

"Didn't you understand what I've just said?" I snapped.

I was starting to get impatient as Scarlett kept dodging my touch like a caged animal. Frustrated, I held her chin with my thumb and index finger and forced her to look at me.

"No, I didn't!" Scarlett fired back.

She was violently panting under me. As she spoke, she looked me in the eye, her eyes red and lips pursed.

I should be the one who was by her side when she was pregnant. However, she gave that right to William, and that infuriated me. But then, my eyes fell on her soft, pink lips, and my anger dissipated in an instant, replaced by a burning desire to make her mine.

I wanted her her love and body. The only thing I was thinking right now was to punish her in bed. Ridiculous as it might seem, I wished I could eat her so that she would always belong to me.

I followed my desire and kissed her like I missed her.

However, my phone suddenly rang. I stiffened for a second, and Scarlett took this opportunity to turn her face away.

She pushed me away with all her strength and reminded me, "Charles, your phone is ringing."

Who would care about that damn call right now?!

But instead of answering the call, I continued what I was doing. I reached out my hand and caressed Scarlett's face.

Her body was hot, and I noticed her eyelids tremble in anticipation. Moreover, her body fragrance wafted into my nose, which made her even more irresistible. I could not help but rub my face on her neck, obsessed with her distinct, pleasant smell.

"Charles!" Scarlett exclaimed, bringing me back to my senses.

I looked at her and saw that she was glaring at me with eyes brimming with tears. She seemed angry and frightened but she refused to cry.

Was I really annoying in her eyes?

"Suit yourself," I coldly said.

Disappointment flooded me like a tide. Unable to take it any longer. I let go of her, got up, and slowly walked out of the door without looking back.

Scarlett's POV:

A feeling of sadness loomed over me as I stared at Charles's receding figure.

I had already made a clean break with him, had I not?

One second he was fooling around with me. But the next second, he just left without a word.

I was fuming, but I could not find a way to vent my anger. Then I saw the dishes Charles had cooked on the table, and I lost my appetite to eat.

I picked up the plates and poured all the food into the trash can. As I stared at the discarded leftovers, I could not help but think how wonderful it would be when I had finally kicked Charles out of my life. How I wish it were easy, like throwing garbage.

In the evening, just as I got out of the shower and was about to soak my feet with warm water, I saw Janet come in with her phone.

"Are you going to take photos again?"

Janet nodded. "Yes."

I sighed in exasperation. "There's no need for that. Your boss and I had just had a fight. I don't think he wants to see any update about me." Feeling awkward, Janet lowered her head and did not look at me anymore.

After that incident, Charles did not show up in front of me again. From then on, my life was peaceful day after day.

Christmas was around the corner. So after work, I asked Nina to go with me to buy a birthday gift for Michael.

I knew that he liked playing golf, so I brought Nina to a golf equipment store.

The store was breathtaking. Golf clubs of various sizes were neatly arranged on the shelves, and the other equipment looked exquisite as well.

"Are you still planning on leaving Charles?" Nina asked me out of the blue.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

I glanced at Janet and Tracy not far away, and a helpless feeling washed over me.

"How can I manage that? There are bodyguards watching me around the clock."

Nina's hand, which was holding a golf club, froze.

With an inexplicable look on her face, she put the club down, clung to my arm, and whispered in my ear, "Relax. Since you can't leave Charles, why don't you drain him instead?" Drain him? My face turned beet red upon hearing this.

With Charles's strength and stamina, I would be exhausted to death before I could even tire him in bed.

"Since he doesn't want to let you and the babies go, you can splurge on his money. Don't worry. I'm a lawyer. I'll help you," Nina offered. Judging from the look on her face, she was itching to have a try. My face turned red again but, this time, because of embarrassment. It turned out that she was pertaining to Charles's money.

I could not help but look away when I realized that I was thinking the wrong thing.

Nina noticed that I was in a deep thought, so she waved her hand in front of my face and asked, "Scarlett, are you listening? Please think it over." "I will," I answered perfunctorily.

The conversation had come to an

end. With that, began to choose my gift for Michael. A few moments later, a silver custom-made golf club caught my attention. I picked it up to have a closer look. Sure enough, it was the perfect gift for Michael. However, I could not help but frown when I saw the price tag. Given my current financial situation, it would take a while before I could fully pay it.

Nina came over and took a look at the price tag as well. Like me, she gasped sharply when she saw how expensive the golf club was. "What the hell Rich people really do have expensive hobbies. Well, if you can't afford it, why don't you ask Charles

to pay for it? I'm sure it won't make a

dent in his wealth."

I shook my head in refusal. "No, thanks. I've decided to make a clean break with him, so I would rather not be indebted to him. Besides, I have a job. I can pay for this myself."

"In my opinion, you don't have to work so hard. You know, it's easier to ask for money from Charles." Nina nudged me with her elbow and raised her eyebrows at me meaningfully. "Why don't you take my advice?"

She brought up her plan of draining Charles's money again, but I immediately shut it down and shifted the topic.

"Do you think there's a chance that Nancy and Charles will be together?" I asked with a straight face.

Nina slapped me on the back as if I had just said something ridiculous. "Are you crazy?! Are you seriously thinking of pushing Charles to another woman?"

"Well, I can't get rid of him, so I think it'll be easier for me if he keeps himself busy with another woman."

Nina rolled her eyes and looked at me as if I was a freak. "Scarlett, you've gone nuts."

Of course, I did not take Nina's disapproval to heart. Without another word, I turned around and called the sales assistant.

"Hello. Please pack this golf club for me," I said with a smile and then paid for the item with my credit card.

"You're just asking for trouble. As you can see, Charles doesn't want to divorce you, so you two are still a married couple. Scarlett, there's no need for you to draw a line between you and him because, in the end, you'll be the one to suffer," Nina earnestly advised.

"Why do I have to ask for his money? It's not like I can't support myself and my children. I'm a strong independent woman, you know."

People who did not know about me and Charles believed that I was Cinderella and Charles was my prince charming.

Little did they know, Charles was not a prince, and I did not want to be a damsel in distress.

I could support myself and my children without his help. I did not need him. Besides, I was confident that, with my children, I would get by just fine.

"Silly girl, you should also plan for

the future. Look at yourself. You have a weak shoulder, and your ankle hasn't healed yet. Not to mention, you're also suffering from tendinitis. You maybe young right now. But when you get old, you might have to sit in a wheelchair. If you don't save up enough money, what do you think will happen to you in the future?"

Nina poked me hard on the forehead in disappointment.

With an annoyed look on my face, I rubbed my aching forehead. I did not know whether to laugh or cry at her advice.

But then again, even though Nina scolded me, I felt warm in my heart.

It felt good to be cared about.
