Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 139

Scarlett's POV:

"I'm living with Charles," I firmly said while looking at Nate warily.

Nate nodded in satisfaction. "That's good then. But I'm sure you'll face a lot of trouble because of him."

"I don't care. I've already been in a lot of trouble before we even got together," I fired back.

"Rita committed suicide because of you."

I looked at him with an icy cold gaze. "It has nothing to do with me."

All of a sudden, Nate grabbed me by the arm. "How could you be so cruel? Don't you feel any remorse? Someone could've lost their life, and you're the reason behind it!"

"Let me go!" I tried so hard to get out of his grasp. His touch disgusted me and made my hair stand on end. However, no matter how hard I struggled, I could not shake him off.

"Leave Charles," Nate ordered through gritted teeth. His grasp was becoming tighter and more painful by the second.

"I won't. Charles and I will get married soon. You'd better be polite to me, or you'll regret it," I warned. I might look weak and helpless, but my resolution never wavered. His empty threats did not mean anything to me.

Nate did not say a word and just stared at me fiercely.

While we were at a stalemate, I saw Charles rushing towards us from the corner of my eye.

"You don't want to get beaten, do you?" I said cryptically with a smile.

Nate furrowed his brows in confusion. While he was in a daze, Charles kicked him on the leg.

He immediately let go of me. Charles's kick sent him to his knees.

But Charles was not done yet.

Just as he was about to pounce on Nate and beat him, I grabbed his hand and pulled him into the room. "Charles, don't get your hands dirty because of him. It's not worth it."

Charles looked at me worriedly. "Are you okay?"

I nodded and smiled reassuringly at him. "I'm fine. You came right in time."

As soon as I said these words, I turned around and took out the ring from the cabinet.

I walked to Charles and said with a smile, "Give me your hand."

Charles did as told. But instead of putting the ring on his finger, I put it on his palm.

"Aren't you gonna help me put it on?" Charles asked with apparent discontent.

I shook my head with a chuckle. I wore my own ring and did not help him despite his request.

Although annoyed, Charles did not say anything more.

"Happy wife, happy life," he murmured to himself.

I was amused by his words.

Once we were both wearing our rings, Charles held my hand and looked at it. Then, he nodded with satisfaction, which made my heart flutter.

"Let's go buy Grandma's birthday gift," he said with a dashing smile. Hand in hand, we walked out.

As soon as we arrived at the mall, the manager walked up to us with a welcoming smile.

"Hello, Mr. Moore and Mrs. Moore. Are you here to buy wedding rings? Would you like to see the newly arrived limited edition ones? I'm sure you'll love them. We've been keeping them for you," the manager said while leading us inside.

"No. We're buying a gift for our Grandma," I explained.

"I see." The manager's smile faltered.

I paid no attention to the look of disappointment on his face and just focused on choosing the best gift for Christine. An agate necklace in the glass cabinet caught my eye.

"Do you like this one?" Charles asked in a low voice.

I nodded. "Yes. I'm confident Grandma will like it."

Charles turned to the sales assistant. To my surprise, he pointed at another necklace. "Take that out and let her try it."

"No, thanks," I flat out refused.

Charles ignored me and pointed at the other necklaces. "Take all of those and let my wife try them on," he repeated.

I was too stunned to speak. I could only sigh helplessly when I saw how much everything had cost.

Once we got into the car, I glanced at the rearview mirror and recognized the car behind us. "Isn't that Rita's car?"

"Yes," Charles replied indifferently. Without another word, he started the car and sped away. It seemed that he had no intention of dealing with her. Even so, I could not help but keep an eye on her along the way. I watched as her car tailed us to our destination.

When we arrived at the mansion, the housekeeper came out and warmly welcomed us. But then, the housekeeper walked out afterward, which perplexed me. "Aren'tyou gonna come in?" "Mrs. Moore asked me to deliver a message to Miss Lively," the housekeeper answered.
