Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 270

Vivian's POV:

When I woke up, Spencer was already gone. 'When did Spencer leave?" I wondered.

Gemma called me and urged me to continue finding girls for her son.

Thus, I had no choice but to call Spencer.

"Boss, where are you?" I asked.

"What's up?"

"Oh, it's not that big of a deal. But you'll have to come back and meet your date today."

"Did my mother call you again?" Spencer asked sharply.

I didn't respond to that, and I just rolled my eyes at him. He already knew the answer, and yet he was still asking me.

"I'm not going on a blind date," he said.

"No, you can't refuse, Spencer! Otherwise I have no idea how I'm going to explain it to your mother," I said.

"Ugh... fine. Ask Nicole to wait for me in the bar tonight," he responded.

After hanging up, I felt the bitterness overcome my heart.

Clearly, Gemma didn't like me. But I couldn't figure out what Spencer really wanted.

Disappointed, I let out an exasperated sigh.

'Forget it! Even if I don't have a boyfriend, I still have my bestie!'

After a moment of pondering, I decided to go look for Scarlett. 'God, I'm so sick of men!' I cursed inwardly.

******

Upon arriving at the cafe, I saw that Scarlett and Nina were already there waiting for me. It turned out that they'd been waiting for me for a long time.

At a glance, I saw James lying in his stroller and sucking on his thumb.

I hadn't seen him for a long time, but he still remembered who I was. He reached out his stubby little arms to me, smiling like an angel.

'Aww! James is so adorable!' My heart melted at the sight of him.

I couldn't wait to hold him. "Come here, my little angel. Let me hug you!"

The little guy had become a lot heavier than the last time I held him. He leaned his chubby little face towards me and planted a kiss on my cheek.

"Aww. You're so sweet!"

James' innocent eyes and unadulterated positivity cheered me up. To show him just how much I adored him, I embraced him in my arms. After a while, a waiter came over with a tray. "Sorry to bother you, ladies. I'm just here to serve you your coffees and orange juice. Please, enjoy yourselves."

"Thank you," said Nina.

She took the two cups of coffee and put them in front of me and Scarlett, and then she picked up the glass of orange juice and took a sip.

I was surprised that Nina wasn't drinking a latte. The ones they served at this cafe was quite famous in town, so I wondered why she opted for an orange juice instead.

"Nina, why aren't you drinking coffee?" I asked.

Suddenly, Nina blushed. "It's not a big deal. Abner and I have been planning to have a child, so we've stopped drinking coffee altogether," she stammered.

As she held the orange juice in her hands, her eyes were brimming with joy.

'A child, huh?' I didn't expect that she and Abner would try to have a child so soon.

"In that case, congratulations!" I greeted.

"Thanks, Vivian." Nina smiled meekly at me.

Love was so magical. Nina used to be so perky and forthright, but now she looked so different.

'A baby...'

I put James back into the stroller, and then picked up my cup of coffee in a daze.

Suddenly, it occurred to me that I didn't use any contraception when I had sex with Spencer.

With hope in my heart, I put down my cup and gently stroked my flat stomach. 'Perhaps a seed has taken root and is growing inside my womb,' I thought.

Before I had time to think any further, Gemma's face flashed through my mind.

And as I cringed at her image, all the beautiful scenes in my head disappeared in an instant.

Emily sneered. "You really are my daughter! You're incredibly talented at seducing men!"

"Shut the fuck up!"

The darkest part of my heart was revealed. It was as if I had been stripped naked and cut open, revealing the rotten flesh inside.

Though it pained me to admit it, she was right.

I did use Ethan to annoy Spencer, just so he could realize how important I was to him. I almost lost my virginity in that tragic incident.

The heavy makeup on Emily's face wasn't enough to disguise her intentions of scheming. Upon seeing her reaction, I suddenly remembered what Gemma told me.

"Like mother, like daughter," she said.

I felt sick to my core and began retching. 'Was she right?' I wondered. Perhaps there might not be any differences between me and my deviant mother. It made me wonder if I would become so despicable someday.

"Now that you have a new goal, as your mother, I do hope you get what you want," said Emily with a sneer.

To my eyes, her blessing was more like a curse, and it filled me with even deeper fear.

Dazed and confused, I went back to my seat. Abner had already picked up Nina, and only Scarlett was there, anxiously waiting for me.

"Scarlett, do you think I'll be happy if I use a trick to win him over?"

I blurted out the question that had been troubling me for the longest time. "Never mind.

I don't wanna know the answer."

Truthfully, I was worried that I'd get a negative answer from Scarlett.

"Vivian, love at first sight isn't a thing. If a man can pursue a woman, it gives us, women, every right to pursue our happiness too. It's not a trick. When it comes to love, it's hard to distinguish between right and wrong. If you're in love with each other, I'm sure it will be fine. We shouldn't deny someone's feelings just because of a 'trick'." Scarlett's words were like a beacon of hope shining down on me. It was then that I poured my heart out and told her everything.

I told her just how much I loved Spencer, how his mother, Gemma disliked me, and that my mother was only interested in earning money.

All the while, Scarlett listened intently to my ramblings, quietly holding my hand.

"Vivian, love isn't that complicated. As long as you and Spencer love each other, everything will be fine," she said.

"You don't understand, Scarlett. That's the problem. I don't even know if Spencer loves me back." I smiled bitterly.

This time, Scarlett didn't say anything and silence ensued between us.
