Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 279

Charles's POV:

Scarlett and I arrived at the airport at three o'clock in the afternoon to see my parents and James off.

Nestled in Mom's arms, James was wearing a leather jacket, a baseball cap, and a small schoolbag.

The little boy did not know yet that he would be separated from his parents. The moment he saw Scarlett and me, he smiled from ear to ear and greeted us excitedly. "Dad, Mom, go!"

Scarlett's eyes brimmed with tears. When Mom was about to enter the lounge with James, my son suddenly burst into tears.

"Mommy, Daddy!" he cried.

His face turned red, and tears welled up in James's eyes. He tried to break free from Mom's arms but to no avail. Sadly, he could only reach out his little arms to Scarlett.

A mother and son indeed had a special bond. All of a sudden, Scarlett rushed to James and held him in her arms for the last time.

The two hugged each other and cried bitterly. It was as if they were not going to see each other again for the rest of their lives.

It took us great efforts to coax James that they almost missed their flight.

Scarlett was restless on the way back from the airport.

"Charles, will it be okay to leave James with them alone?" she worriedly asked.

I held her hand and assured her, "It's okay, honey. It's just a trip. Besides, they have bodyguards around them 24 hours a day. I assure you, nothing will happen."

"Still... How about I fly to them in a few days?"

"No. If you leave, then what about me? The Independence Day is in a few days. You have to 'accompany' me."

It was not every day we got to be alone for a few days. I would not let such a good opportunity go to waste.

When I said the word 'accompany', I paused for a moment and glanced at Scarlett from head to toe with a mischievous smile.

"You rascal!" Scarlett glared at me, her face red in embarrassment.

In my eyes, she looked so cute when she was not calm and composed like she usually was.

"What do you say, Honey?"

"Whatever. You know, I don't know what to do with you sometimes."

******

To celebrate my hard-won prize, I brought Scarlett to the Rose Hotel in the evening.

However, my excitement did not last for a long time. Why was it that whenever the two of us were alone, someone would come along and be the third wheel?

Spencer called out of the blue and asked if he could come to dinner with us. Before I could refuse, Scarlett told him to take Vivian with him.

Now, our date had turned into a double date

About an hour later, the four of us were seated at the table in the restaurant. Nobody spoke a word, and an awkward silence filled the air.

It was Spencer who broke the ice. He put down his chopsticks and looked at me helplessly. "Charles, stop pulling on a long face, will you? You're killing the mood."

I forced a smile and asked sarcastically, "Did I?" "You can do better than that. Everyone can see that you're unhappy."

All of a sudden, the door of the private room opened. I could not help but frown when I saw Nancy come in.

What was she doing here anyway?

"Charles, what a coincidence! I happened to have dinner here, so I came by to say hello. I hope I didn't interrupt anything."

Meanwhile, Scarlett cast a confused look at me.

"This is Nancy Wood, Nicholas's sister," I whispered in her ear.

Nancy greeted everyone with a warm smile.

However, Spencer looked at her with an unfriendly gaze and asked rudely, "Who are you?" "My name is Nancy Wood. I'm working in Charles's company. Who's that lady next to you?" Nancy looked at Vivian with a curious gaze.

"Oh, her name is Vivian. She's my girlfriend," Spencer replied without hesitation.

Vivian was stunned. She did not expect him to be so straightforward.

I could not stop thinking about Nancy's face as I lay on the bed after taking a shower.

I knew very well what the look on her face meant. I had seen that look a lot since I was a child. It meant that they admired Charles and that they wanted to win his heart.

I was so immersed in my thoughts that I did not notice that Charles had already walked out of the bathroom.

He wrapped me in his tight embrace. It was not until the scent of his bath lotion came to my nose did I come to my senses. Right now, he seemed gentler and more charming than ever.

Suddenly, my grievances and insecurity swept over me. "Charles, Nancy likes you."

Charles looked at me with a gentle smile. "Are you jealous?"

"A little."

Charles seemed happier when he heard that I was jealous. He wrapped his arms around my neck and gave me a gentle and lingering kiss.

My mind went blank. It was not until we ran out of breath that we let go of each other. "There may be many women who like me, but you're the only one I see," Charles whispered in my ear.

I gazed at his affectionate eyes. But instead of being reassured, anxiety suddenly surged up from the bottom of my heart. "Charles, what if you meet someone better than me? Will you think that I don't deserve you?"

Truth be told, I was insecure about myself. That question had been bugging me for quite some time already.

"In my eyes, you're the best woman in the world." Lying in Charles's arms, I listened as he enumerated my traits and idiosyncrasies. Touched, I raised my head and kissed Charles on the forehead. At this moment, I was willing to open my heart to him.

"I'm afraid of losing you," I solemnly said.

"I will always be yours," Charles sincerely replied while staring into my eyes.

Embarrassed, I faced the other way and changed the topic. "I miss our son. I want to see him soon." Charles turned me around and said, "Okay. Let's go together.

Scarlett, I love you."

I was deeply touched by Charles's love confession. He kissed me yet again, and his hands wandered on my body at the same time. His lips then trailed to my neck and down to my chest. On this night, we opened our hearts to each other.

I relaxed my body and let his manhood enter my body. At last, our bodies became one as we succumbed to our fervent love and desire.
