Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 143

Charles' POV:

Scarlett's phone rang the moment she stepped inside the bathroom to take a shower.

I looked at the caller ID. To my surprise, it was Nate. I picked up her phone and answered it without a second thought.

"Scarlett, I knew you'd answer my call. Can we meet right now? I want to apologize for what happened last time."

I wanted to laugh. What he had said was funny. "Scarlett?" Nate called Scarlett's name tentatively when he did not hear anything from the other end of the line for a while.

"It's Charles."

Nate fell silent.

"To show your sincerity properly, I want you to deal with the media outlets by tomorrow morning." I hung up the call as soon as I finished speaking, and a sneer tugged at the corners of my mouth.

Sure enough, Nate did as told. The next morning, I handed my phone to Scarlett to let her see the latest trending topic with her own eyes.

As I saw the confused look on her face while she read the news, I patiently explained, "It's an apology letter from Nate."

"What happened?" Scarlett asked with a frown.

"I think it's his wedding gift for us," I said in an unusually cheery tone.

Scarlett eyed me with suspicion. "Really?"

I said nothing in response. I then put my arms around her waist and stroked her belly from time to time.

"Why do you keep doing that?"

I paused for a moment and asked, "Can't I?" Without waiting for her answer, I stroked it yet again.

"It's just that you used to caress the upper part," Scarlett teased.

I could not help but chuckle at her words. Just as she said, I put my hands on her breasts and fondled them like I always did. "Did your breasts grow bigger?"

Scarlett shook off my hands and grumbled coyly, "No..."

"Maybe it's because I'm good at massage." I fondled them harder, and a feeling of satisfaction arose in my heart.

Scarlett's face turned red, and she hid in my arms in embarrassment. "You're so cheeky."

Scarlett's POV:

After breakfast, Alice took out a set of jewelry. Then, with a smile, she beckoned me to come to her. "Scarlett, come here."

I recognized the necklace in her hand at once. It was the heirloom of the Moore family. I looked at Charles, perplexed.

He nodded at me and urged, "Just go."

I walked over to Alice, and she helped me put on the necklace

Once done, she looked at me and gasped in astonishment. "You're so beautiful," she remarked with a smile.

"I knew it would look good on you, Scarlett." Christine praised me as well.

I unconsciously touched the necklace around my neck and thanked them for their gift and kind words. "Thank you, Grandma. Thank you, Mom." "I was supposed to give it to you earlier, but you and Charles were at odds back then. But it doesn't matter. What matters is that it is finally yours," Christine solemnly said.

I could not help but feel a little guilty. They must have been troubled because of me.

I returned to my room not long after. There I took off the necklace for safekeeping.

"Why did you take it off?" Charles asked confusedly.

"This is your family's heirloom. What if I break it or, worse, lose it? We should keep it somewhere safe." I put the jewelry into the jewelry box as I spoke.

"What are you talking about? It's our heirloom," Charles corrected with a long face.

"Oh, sorry. It's our heirloom." I handed the jewelry box to him, which perplexed him more.

"Why are you giving it to me now?" he asked with a frown.

I handed the jewelry box to him again. "Please keep it for me."

"It's women's business." "But you're the head of the clan." A smile appeared on Charles's face as soon as I said those words.

"Just take it. Grandma gave it to you." He chuckled at me, but he remained unmoved.

Knowing him, he would not budge. Unable to do anything, I nodded and put the jewelry box away. All of a sudden, he hugged me from behind. "Scarlett, I just need to take good care of you. And you take care of everything we have."

"I don't want to be your housekeeper," I retorted.
