Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 146

Charles' POV:

As soon as I heard what Rita said, my mind went blank.

I then though of what had happened before and arrived at an answer.

"Is it true?" I asked in a serious tone, looking at Scarlett.

Although I knew the answer to that question, I still wanted to hear it from her.

Crumpling her hem in her hands, Scarlett took a deep breath, and said, "It is."

"How long has it been since you got pregnant?"

"A few weeks now. It's that night of Valentine's day."

"Why didn't you tell me before? Were you afraid that I might not want the baby?" I looked at her, my heart filled with disappointment.

She had hidden her pregnancy from me for so long, and she had also refused the wedding. Thinking about it, I could not help but get angry. "I don't want the baby to affect your decisions." Scarlett continued to keep her head down, looking stubborn and pitiful at the same time.

After a long silence, I said to her lightly, "You should go back and rest."

Ignoring the surprised look in her eyes, I turned to Spencer and said, "Please send her back home for me, will you?"

"Are you mad at me?" Scarlett asked me in a voice that was filled with grievance.

"Now that you're pregnant, you need to rest well." I softened my tone as I stroked her head.

Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, I added, "You go back first. I'll be back after I take care of things here."

"Tomorrow... Are we still going to hold a wedding ceremony?" Scarlett looked at me nervously as she tightened her grip on the hemline of her dress.

I held her cold hand and said firmly, "Tomorrow, I'll pick you up early in the morning and marry you."

Before she left, Scarlett looked at Rita and said indifferently, "My father made a mistake by trusting his friends too much, and your father is a scumbag. He used his friend to violate the law. He can't get away with it."

Scarlett then turned to me with a nervous look in her eyes. And I gave her a reassuring look before she walked away.

As soon as she left, Rita sat down next to me, and asked eagerly, "Charles, didn't you know that Scarlett is pregnant?"

I drank alone, without answering her.

"Charles has always wanted a daughter. Now, his wish can be fulfilled," David said with a smile.

"I can also give you a baby, Charles. You can have as many babies as you want, with me!" Rita whispered in my ear, and it was obvious how anxious she was.

I kept silent for a long time before I slammed the glass on the table with a loud bang.

"I'm going to be a father," I roared happily, looking at everyone, except Rita.

"Charles, I think you still need to find out whether Scarlett's child is yours or not," Rita reminded me.

"Scarlett is nothing like you." I gave her a cold glare and moved away. Clearly, I wanted to keep my distance from her. I completely despised her now.

"Pour me some wine to celebrate this good news! I'm going to be a father." Seeing that I was in a bright and cheerful mood, everyone raised their glasses to celebrate the wonderful news.

"Charles, as far as I know, Scarlett is having an affair with her colleague. Please calm down and don't let her deceive you." Rita was still trying to confuse right with wrong, and my good mood was ruined because of her.

"You all drink to your heart's content and enjoy yourselves today. It's my treat," I said flatly before I stood up, about to leave.

However, Rita caught up with me and stopped me.

"Do you really want to marry Scarlett?" she asked me in tears.

"Yes, I am." I nodded without hesitation and warned her, "Don't follow me anymore. I don't want Scarlett to misunderstand me."

"But Scarlett doesn't love you at all," Rita screamed hysterically, standing behind me.

I stopped in my tracks and retorted coldly, "I can feel her love on my own."

Leaving her alone, I strode away from there.

Scarlett's POV:

On my way home, I kept thinking about what Charles would think of the baby. Although he promised me that the wedding would be held as scheduled, I still felt uneasy. And I began to regret hiding the truth from him.
