Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 440

Simon's POV:

The song was about to end.

Under the dreamy light, Caroline looked like an angel.

My heart was racing as I held her in my arms.

I was stunned and speechless when I looked into her beautiful eyes. I immediately lowered my head unconsciously, trying to kiss her.

"The song is over." Caroline's cold voice came to my ears and she turned away immediately.

Feeling embarrassed, I helped her stand up and kissed the back of her palm.

"Pack this dress," I ordered the store assistant in a low voice.

"Sure, sir."

Feeling the bitterness in my heart, I could not help but sigh.

I did not know how long it was going to take Caroline to open up to me.

"Are you going back to the company or are you going home?" I asked.

Caroline frowned. "I want to go home."

Nodding in reply, I wrapped my arm around her waist. "Let's go."

Relief filled my heart when I saw that she was not trying to dodge me.

We kept silent through the ride, and thirty minutes later, we arrived at the villa.

I turned to look at Caroline and saw her sound asleep.

The soft afternoon sunlight was making her features appear more angelic.

She was really beautiful!

I unfastened my seat belt and approached her.

I saw her thick lashes flutter like a butterfly's wings.

Her lips were soft and alluring, tempting me to kiss her.

I approached her carefully, my whole body turning stiff from the nervousness.

Just when I was about to kiss her forehead, she suddenly opened her eyes.

"What are you doing?" Her cold voice pulled me back to reality.

After calming down, I grinned and said, "I wanted to wake you up, but when I saw you sleeping so soundly, I changed my mind."

Caroline rolled her eyes at me, opened the door, and was about to get off.

But I quickly grabbed her hand and said in a serious tone, "Caroline, I will be waiting for the day when you will accept me."

She looked at me with guilt in her eyes, which made me a little sad.

I handed her bag to her. "Go back and rest well."

A bitter smile appeared on my lips when I saw her rush into the villa.

I knew I had helplessly fallen for her.

Although I knew that she only told Charles we were together to piss him off, it still make my heart bloom with joy.

I told myself that it was only a matter of time before my wishes turned into a reality.

When I got home later, I got a call from my mother.

"Simon, how are you doing there?" There was an unmistakable hint of concern in her voice.

"I'm fine, Mom. What about you?" I asked casually.

"I'm fine too. With Edward's help, I don't need to worry about anything. But you..."

Although my mom was still talking to me, I felt like I could not hear her at all. I couldn't concentrate.

"Mom, take care of yourself. I'm busy now, so I'll have to go." I quickly ended the call and massaged my aching forehead.

I pushed aside all the other thoughts and began to concentrate on work.

Time flew quickly, and it was soon time to get off work.

When I remembered that Raina was still in the Moore mansion, I did not even feel like going home.

I took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet, and was just about to take a sip when Richard knocked on the door and walked in.

He walked up to me and reminded me, "The doctor said that you should cut down on drinking. It's not good for you."

I glanced at him and did not say a word.

"Nicholas Wood wants to see you. Should I send him away?" Richard asked.

I frowned and said, "Let him in."

"Okay."

Richard then escorted Nicholas inside. I looked at him and asked, "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be taking care of Nancy at the hospital?"

Nicholas was about to say something, but he stopped and narrowed his eyes at Richard.

I motioned to Richard, who understood and left the room.

Nicholas then turned to me with an anxious look in his eyes, and said, "I want you to help me destroy the Hill Group."

"Well... Why would I do anything to help you?" I retorted, shaking the wine glass in my hand.

Scratching his head, Nicholas said, "I have no other choice. The Wood family is just not strong enough to fight the Hill Group."

I looked up at him and snorted, "And what does that have to do with me?"

"I know that you still hold a grudge because of what Nancy did in the past. She thought that if William took Scarlett away from you, then she might have a chance to be with you, but we both know now that she was just naive and thoughtless at that time."

"What did you just say?" I put down the glass angrily.

Nicholas stepped back in fear.

I stood up and hissed, "Say it again!"
