Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 129

Scarlett's POV:

I felt the breeze tickly my skin like feathers when the sunlight shone on my face.

I woke up from my sleep and heard the clock ticking.

Instinctively, I picked up my phone, only to find that it was turned off.

As soon as I charged my phone, a message from Charles popped up. "Good morning," the text read.

I complained to myself thinking that he really knew how to get my attention.

All of a sudden, I got a video call from him. I thought for a moment before I answered.

"Good morning, baby." Charles' handsome face popped up on the screen, and he was smiling. It was obvious that he was in a good mood.

"Good morning," I answered reluctantly.

"I heard you snoring while you were sleeping." He teased me with a smile.

"No, I didn't!" I denied. Seeing that he was still giving me a cheeky smile, I warned, "Don't make video calls if you have nothing serious to talk about!"

I then immediately hung up, without even giving him a chance to speak.

However, deep down, I felt like I did something wrong. Charles had been affecting my mood a lot lately, and I felt like things would not end well if it continued to be that way.

After calming myself down, I got up to wash my face and brush my teeth. When I walked to the living room, I saw that Nina had prepared breakfast for me.

"Come and taste this. See if you like it." Nina pulled me to sit down at the table and handed me the milk.

"Is it a little too light?" I asked uncertainly, tasting it.

Upon hearing my question, she tasted the food with a confused look. "Light? I think it's just right," she said with a hint of suspicion.

I tasted it again, but I still felt that it was too light.

Nina suddenly put down her fork and looked at me seriously.

"Scarlett, did you take contraceptives?"

When I heard those words, my heart jolted for a moment.

"Go to the store and buy a pregnancy test strip," she reminded me with a serious look in her eyes.

I grabbed the corner of my shirt nervously. It was so sudden, and it was the kind of news that I was not prepared to face at all.

"It's better to check. Maybe you're not pregnant. Better be sure than sorry, right?" Nina comforted me gently.

Pursing my lips, I nodded, but I could not stop feeling uneasy about it.

After having breakfast, Nina went out. Alone at home, I felt a little upset as I subconsciously placed my hands on my belly.

If I had known about it earlier, then I would have taken contraceptives. Just when I was regretting my actions, the doorbell rang. Thinking that it was Nina, who had left something behind, I quickly opened the door.

"Mom, what are you doing here?" I asked in surprise, looking at Alice.

"I was traveling, so I came to visit you." Alice held my hand and smiled.

I looked at her suspiciously, because it did not seem like she had come there on a trip.

"I've left all my luggage at the hotel, and my companions are there. It's not too far from here, so I'll head back after checking on you," Alice explained.

"Come on in, Mom." I led her into the room and poured her some water before I sat down with her.

"Scarlett, are you doing okay? You look a little haggard," Alice asked with concern.

Noticing the concern in her eyes, I quickly explained, "The doctor said that I will feel uncomfortable until I adjust to the climate here." "What a quack that doctor is! You have been here for such a long time. How can you still not be used to the climate here? Why didn't he just say you're pregnant, huh?" Alice blurted out and I noticed a hint of surprise in her eyes.

However, I froze when I heard those words.

"Are you really pregnant? Just last night, I dreamed of becoming a grandmother." Seeing that I was silent, she held my hand excitedly and looked at me eagerly.

"No, I'm just not accustomed to the climate here," I denied in a hurry as I tried to keep calm.

"You should go to the hospital, and get yourself checked again. This is an important matter, okay?" Alice said with disappointment as well as concern.
