Charles' POV:
" You'd better not handle this matter indifferently, or Scarlett will only distance herself from you," Grandma warned me coldly. "In fact, I can tell that she does care for you, but you just keep disappointing her and you have no sense of propriety. You always make her mad."
With that, she looked at me with disappointment and helplessness in her eyes.
I continued to remain silent.
The only reason I sent Scarlett abroad on my private plane was because I wanted to make her journey a comfortable one. After all, it would be very exhausting to catch a plane early in the morning. Moreover, the ticket that she had bought was for the economy class. More importantly, I didn't want to stop Scarlett from realizing her dream.
"Scarlett seems to be sick, so take the initiative to go and see her," my mother ordered coldly.
I remained silent as I wondered what reason could I use to make it seem like I did not go there to specifically see her.
"Did you even hear what I just said?" Annoyed by my long silence, Grandma glared at me.
"I know. You guys should rest. I will go to see her." After saying goodbye to my family, I left the house.
As soon as I was outside, I called Amy. "Delay all my schedules. I am going abroad tomorrow."
After that, I asked Spencer and David to meet me. "Do you know where Scarlett is staying abroad?" I asked.
"I haven't contacted her in a long time. She is your wife. Why are you asking me for her address?" Spencer seemed to be astonished by my words.
"What about you? Did you contact her?" I asked David, ignoring the sarcasm in Spencer's tone.
David also gave me the same response, which made me sigh helplessly.
"If you haven't contacted Scarlett, then you must have contacted Nina, at least, right?" Massaging my temples, I looked at Spencer.
"No," Spencer replied.
I thought he must be lying. Staring at him, I said slowly, "You were intimate with Nina before, and now you're saying that you don't even talk to her? Are you really going to shirk your responsibility after sleeping with her?"
"I can sue you for slandering me like that, you know? Believe it or not, nothing happened between us! Forget it. Since we are friends, I have some news for you. They're both unaccustomed to the climate there, and are sick now," Spencer said, scrolling through his phone. "Here, take a look."
Saying that, he handed his phone to me.
It was Nina's Facebook page.
There was a picture of her and Scarlett, posted recently. They were both clearly unwell in the picture.
I could not help but feel upset when I noticed how pale Scarlett was in the photo.
"If you're that concerned about Scarlett, then why don't you go see her?" Spencer suggested, noticing my horrified expression.
I glanced at him, and did not say a word, but I had already made up my mind.
"I'm telling you, a woman like Scarlett can get many men abroad. If you don't take the initiative now, then she might end up with another man, and when that happens, don't come crying to us." Spencer was clearly annoying.
"Shut up." I gave him a cold glare, but deep down, I was upset.
"I only said it because I am concerned about your marriage, you ungrateful man!" Spencer looked at me with a pout as though he had been wronged.
"Please get him out of my sight." I looked at David, pleading for help.
"Alright, fine! I'll go by myself. Just think about it, though."
After patting me on the shoulder, Spencer and David left.
The noisy world around me instantly fell silent. I looked out of the window at the neon lights, unable to process how Scarlett might react if she saw me.
Perhaps, she would be mad and refuse to see me.
I felt so nervous that entire night.
The next morning, I took an early flight abroad to see Scarlett.
As soon as I landed, Spencer texted me Nina's address.
And I couldn't wait to go to there.
Once I got there, I took a deep breath before I knocked on the door. The thought of seeing Scarlett again made me feel nervous. I was thinking about how I should greet her when I saw her.
Before I was even ready, the door was pushed open.
However, Nina didn't seem surprised to see me at all.
"I'm on a business trip," I blurted out.
"What? Mr. Moore, don't try so hard covering it up, because the more you try, the more you end up exposing yourself." Nina snickered.
