Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 142

Scarlett's POV:

Charles suddenly called me and told me that he wanted to take me out to eat.

Upon hearing that, Alice cheerfully helped me dress up, saying that I must dress well for a date.

I let her help me get dressed after seeing that she was really excited about the idea.

As soon as I walked out of the house, the driver drove me to the hotel, where Charles was waiting for me in a private dining room.

I was discomfited by his intense gaze.

"Mom helped me choose this outfit," I said in a low voice as I pulled my dress awkwardly.

"The dress is too short," Charles said in an unpleasant tone, frowning.

"I think it's beautiful," Spencer praised sincerely.

"Thank you," I replied with a sheepish grin.

Charles put his coat on me, and said, "Put it on. You'll catch a cold."

He then made me sit beside him.

"You've seen her wear such beautiful dresses whenever you're at home with her, and yet you pull a long face when other people see her like that."

"Yes, you have so many rules for your wife, but you are not careful enough with your own actions, and you often do things to make her misunderstand you."

Spencer and David teased Charles.

The more I heard them talk, the more I felt that something was strange. Didn't Charles just invite me for dinner?

"Scarlett, I have something to explain to you on Charles' behalf," Spencer said.

With a frown, I looked at Charles. Why couldn't he tell me directly? And why did he have to ask his friend for help?

"I am sure you know about what happened last night, but you might have misunderstood Charles because we were with him at that time. I can assure you that there's nothing going on between him and Rita, and we are witnesses for it."

"Yes, Scarlett. The news reports were false. In fact, Charles completely ignored her and even said some harsh things to her," David explained. "Seeing how angry he was yesterday, even I was a little scared," Spencer said, patting his chest in fear.

Then they both explained what had happened last night. Hearing that, I sighed helplessly.

"So that's why you asked me out today?" I asked calmly, looking at Charles.

Charles nodded and began to drink with a fretful look.

Spencer poured him another glass of wine when he saw that his glass was empty.

"Don't drink too much. After all, you are planning for a baby now," David said and was about to take away the wine glass, but Spencer stopped him.

"Scarlett became sad because of him, so that's his punishment!" Saying that, Spencer poured Charles another glass of wine.

Charles looked at them in silence, acquiescing in what Spencer said.

Just then, a waitress knocked on the door, and entered.

"Hello, sir. The surveillance video has been sent to your phone," she said, bowing her head as she handed the phone to Spencer and left.

"Scarlett, take a look," Spencer said, pushing the phone towards me.

In the video, Rita kept pulling Charles's sleeve, but he seemed to be clearly displeased with her, and his long face looked terrible. It was exactly like what Spencer and David said.

Watching the video, I had mixed feelings.

"David and I are going out to buy some cigarettes." Spencer stood up and put his arm around David's shoulder, ready to leave.

"Do you have to buy cigarettes together?" I teased them, understanding their intention.

"Of course, we should! We are good buddies, who are inseparable," David said, putting his arm around Spencer's shoulder.

They both smiled at me and left, leaving me alone with Charles.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Charles continued to stare at me in silence.

Without saying anything to him, I lowered my head and began to eat the fruit.

"I want to eat, too," Charles said all of a sudden, still looking at me.

Upon hearing that, I quickly fed him a piece of fruit.

"I don't like this." Looking at the piece of orange in my hand, he shook his head.

I glanced at him before I put the orange into my mouth without saying anything.

All of a sudden, he kissed me, and the taste of the orange exploded in my mouth, sweet and fresh with a tinge of bitterness.

He kissed me so hard that I felt like I had lost my strength.
