Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 123

Scarlett's POV:

When the video call ended, I burst into laughter as I remembered how Charles was "bullied" by his family members.

"You're not that happy when you see me, your own husband," Charles complained with a frown.

My smile faltered when I noticed the unrestrained joy on my face. Embarrassed, I straightened my scarf and turned my face away.

Charles touched my scarf and asked, "Why are still wearing a scarf at home?"

"What are you doing?" I took a step back and looked at him warily.

Charles withdrew his hand and shrugged his shoulders. "Why are you wrapped so tightly at home? I've seen you naked, you know."

"Well, my neck hurts." I shielded my scarf with my hands and took a step back vigilantly.

"If you want, I can stay here overnight. I'll give you a massage in return." Charles reached out to pull the scarf off my neck again.

"No, I don't want to!" I protested firmly, hoping he would not insist.

"I'll stay overnight for free then. I don't mind spending the night here. I can make do with it." Charles spread out his hands and sighed helplessly. However, I knew him better than anyone else. I'm sure he was just trying to make me feel sorry for him.

I glanced at him. "No, you can't. I'll book a hotel room for you," I protested in an icy cold tone.

With that, I took out my phone to call the hotel and book a room for Charles.

But before I could hit the call button, Charles grabbed my hand pulled me outside of my house. I struggled to get out of his grasp but to no avail. "Where-where are you taking me?"

"Somewhere nice to celebrate Valentine's Day, of course," Charles answered calmly.

He then pulled me into his car, and he left me no chance to escape.

Today was Valentine's Day. Because of this, a lot of people were on the streets. Most of them were couples.

They were all beaming with happiness. Thanks to the festive atmosphere, my anger gradually dissipated. I could literally feel the saying that "love is in the air."

The car was stuck in a traffic jam for a few minutes. Thankfully, the cars started moving not long after. Soon, our car came to a halt in front of a sophisticated restaurant.

I looked around and thought that this place was not suitable for the two of us. However, I did not want to upset Charles, so I did not say out loud what was on my mind.

"When did you make a reservation in this restaurant?" I curiously asked.

Charles looked at me and smiled. "Just before we came here."

My eyes widened in awe. "It's not easy to book a table in such a restaurant on Valentine's Day."

Charles glanced at me lazily and answered, "Of course, money."

I suddenly remembered that there were indeed a lot of things in the world that could be bought with money. But... not me! He could not buy me. The moment we walked into the restaurant, the waiter warmly welcomed us and led us to our table.

"Sir, Madam, should we serve the dishes now? Do you need anything else besides the ones you've ordered?" the waiter asked with a smile while looking at me.

"Just serve the ones that were ordered. Thank you," I replied with a smile.

"Please wait a moment. The dinner will be ready shortly." The waiter turned around and left as soon as he finished speaking.

A few moments later, the waiter returned with the dishes. He deftly served each dish one after another. And soon, the food was finally ready.

Charles and I gazed at the scrumptious feast before us. Without further ado, we dug into the food and ate in silence. We did not say a word and just enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere around us.

While we were eating, fireworks were set off outside, illuminating the night sky and breaking the silence between the two of us.

I looked outside the window and gasped in shock as I saw the colorful fireworks. "It's so beautiful!"

I remarked in a daze.

"Yes, it is," Charles replied in a dreamy voice.

I turned to look at him. To my surprise, he was not looking at the fireworks but at me. Was he talking about the fireworks or me?
