Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 151

Scarlett's POV:

After we left the island, the driver took me back to the Moore mansion.

As soon as I sat down in the living room, Christine held my hand and persuaded me, "Scarlett, stay for a few more days. There's no need to rush back to the training."

The others nodded in agreement.

"You and Charles just got married. You should be with each other, having the time of your lives," Lawrence advised, seeing that I did not say anything in response.

Meanwhile, Alice turned to look at me and asked for my opinion. "Scarlett, what do you think?" "I'll call Charles and discuss it with him," I answered. Without another word, I returned to my room.

His absence crossed my mind, and disappointment washed over me.

While I was lost in thought, my phone suddenly rang. It was Charles. I could not wait to answer it. "The test result has come out. It's just water," Charles informed me in a serious tone.

I was stunned, unable to believe it.

"When will—" Just as I was about to ask him when he would come back, I heard a noise on the other end of the line. From the sound of it, he was with a lot of people.

"Honey, I'll talk to you later. I have something important to do. I'll take care of it first." Charles hung up the call without waiting for my reply.

I watched in a daze as the screen of my phone automatically turned off. It was only after a minute or so that I came to my senses.

Something must be wrong with that glass of water. However, there was no way that Charles would make a mistake. What happened and where was he anyway? I had not discussed with him about the training program yet.

I felt a headache coming on at the thought of these things.

After pondering for a moment, I decided to go back to the training with Nina.

The two of us met at the airport at two o'clock in the afternoon.

I had been busy with the training courses in the following week. Charles seemed to be busy as well. We did not talk much, even over the phone.

I was worried about him, but at the same time, I was a little aggrieved. We had just gotten married. And yet, we were apart.

I came back on the weekend.

As soon as I disembarked the plane, I saw Charles waiting for me at the airport.

I felt as though I had not seen him for a long time as I gazed at him from a distance.

But then, Rita suddenly crossed my mind. I could not help but heave a heavy sigh as I thought of her.

The test result showed that the glass of water was not spiked. Would Charles think that I framed Rita on purpose?

While I was in deep thought, Charles strode over to me.

He took my luggage and exited the airport without a word.

We had been away from each other for just a week, but it seemed that we had grown further apart.

I followed him closely.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, so I thought of a topic to break the silence. "Have you solved the company's affairs?" I worriedly asked.

"Almost," Charles briefly answered.

Unable to take the dreadful atmosphere between us, I stopped in my tracks and scoffed, "What's wrong with you?"

Charles turned around, walked over to me, and held my hand. "Let's talk about it when we get home."

On the way home, I looked at Charles's stern expression and muttered, "You don't seem very happy to see me."

He glanced at me and massaged his forehead wearily. He looked upset for some reason, but he would not tell me.

After a long agonizing silence, he finally opened his mouth to speak. "Why didn't you tell me you had resumed your training?" he asked coldly.

"You didn't tell me when you'd come back, so it doesn't matter if I leave or not."

I was infuriated when I recalled that he had left the day after our wedding. To make things worse, he was cold to me right now.

Charles frowned and looked at me. Still, he did not say a word.

The atmosphere was awkward all the way home. Charles and I were at odds, and I had no idea what was going on in his mind.

When we arrived at the Moore mansion, Christine held my hand and asked how I had been abroad.

"It was great," I replied with a smile. Then, I stood up and opened my suitcase. "By the way, I've brought you something."

I took out the gifts I had prepared before coming here and then gave them to them.

While everyone was opening their gifts, Charles suddenly stood up and said to everyone, "I'm not feeling well. I'm going to have a rest."

I felt a little anxious, but I followed him nevertheless.

In the bedroom, Charles took his change of clothes and went to take a shower.

Meanwhile, I waited for him in the bedroom, restless.
