Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 153

Scarlett's POV:

Receiving Rita's message, I went to the cafe where she asked to meet.

But when I got there, I didn't see Charles, but just Rita sitting by the window in a trance.

Walking up to her, I asked her in a calm voice, "What did you ask me here to witness? His ruthlessness towards you?"

"One day, Charles is going to be ruthless to you as well." Rita sneered, looking up at me.

"Is that so? Well, I hope you're around to see that happen, if it does happen, that is," I said casually, shrugging my shoulders at her.

"You can gloat all you can now." Though she was trembling with anger, she seemed to be reluctant to show her weakness.

"You asked me to come here. If I don't gloat, it would be a waste of the kindness you showed me, wouldn't it?" I asked coldly, looking down at her.

Without saying a word, she glared at me with deep resentment in her eyes.

"Charles is generous enough to let you go, but I'm not. I like to settle things fair and square," I added indifferently before I turned around.

And just when I was about to walk out of there, I noticed Charles standing behind me.

I immediately lowered my head guiltily.

'Did he hear everything I just said? Is he going to blame me now?'

While I was still in a daze, he held my hand and led me outside.

"Where are we going?" I asked subconsciously as I followed him.

"I am sending you back to the TV station," Charles said casually without even stopping.

"Why did you come back?" I asked, looking at his side face as soon as we were outside the cafe.

"I am pretty sure that Rita will call you again, so I had to come back and try my luck," he said in a gentle voice, looking at me.

Although I was indeed moved when I heard those words, I was also a little concerned.

"Looks like you really care about me."

"Isn't it obvious?" Charles stopped and looked at me with tenderness in his eyes.

I hesitated for a moment before I said uneasily, "Do you care about the child or me?"

Deep down, I was worried that he might only be showing kindness to me because of the child I was carrying, and not because he loved me.

"You sleep with me tonight, and I'll tell you the answer," Charles whispered seductively in my ear.

I was speechless and I felt shy, so I glared at him, wondering how he could act like a hooligan whenever he felt like it.

Laughing, Charles held my hand and we walked forward.

He began to quicken his pace with each step.

Feeling strange, I glanced back. But I understood why he was doing that when I saw Rita behind us.

I got home from work that afternoon, and began to cook. While I was in the kitchen, my phone rang all of a sudden.

"Hello, this is Liam. I met you at the party before." I heard a strange man's voice coming from the other end. I tried to recall him for a long time, but I could not remember anything about him at all.

"What can I do for you?" I asked politely, even though I had no clue who he was.

"I apologize for not being able to make it to your wedding. I was occupied with something at that time. I would like to give you the wedding present tonight. Would you be available? I want to give it to you myself."

I was a little stunned that he was asking me out so directly.

"You can just give the present to Charles." As soon as I said that, I heard the door open, so I quickly turned around and said, "Honey, you're home!"

Upon hearing that, Liam immediately hung up.

"Yes. What present? Who were you talking to?"

"I don't know, but he said his name was Liam and we met at some party before."

"Why is he looking for you?" Charles asked while picking up my phone.

"He asked me to meet him and said that he wanted to give me the wedding present in person." I was being honest with him.

Hearing that, Charles called him at once and put the phone on speaker.

"What do you want from my wife?" he snapped as soon as the call was connected.

"Hello, Mr. Moore. My name is Liam. I just wanted to give her the wedding present, that's all." Liam's graceful voice was heard.

Upon hearing that, Charles furrowed his brows.
