Scarlett's POV:
As soon as I got off the plane, I tried calling Charles, but when I could not get through to him, a sense of depression clouded my heart.
I knew that I needed to go to the Moore mansion right away. Maybe I could find him there.
"Oh, Scarlett! How did you get here all of a sudden?" Christine was surprised to see me.
"Well, I came back to see you, Grandma." With that, I gave her a forced smile.
"I'll call Charles at once. I am sure he'll be really happy to know that you're back," Alice said excitedly as she went to grab her phone.
A while later, she frowned at her phone screen. "That's too bad! Looks like he's turned off his phone at such a critical moment."
"Maybe, his phone is dead. Leave him be. I am sure that Scarlett must be really tired after her long journey."
Saying that, Christine held my hand and made me sit down with her.
That night, I was in a daze, and I went back to my room as soon as I ate.
I took a shower and lay on the bed, looking at the familiar chandelier. The cool night breeze blew from the window, disturbing my thoughts.
I was asleep when I suddenly felt someone touching me.
When I opened my eyes and looked at the man in front of me, my mind went completely blank for a moment.
I touched Charles' face and giggled. "I must be dreaming! I was sure that you were not going to visit me in my dreams tonight, though."
Upon hearing that, Charles frowned.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?" There was a hint of coldness in his tone.
"It's because I only came back to meet the elders," I mumbled, feeling angry in my heart. "Humph! Even in my dreams, you end up making me mad." With that, I turned over and continued to sleep.
The next morning when I woke up, rubbing my eyes, and turned around, I was stunned to see Charles sleeping next to me.
He opened his eyes and said in a gentle voice, "Good morning."
"Good morning," I replied with a smile. "When did you come back?"
"I think I came back at around three in the morning," he whispered in my ear.
If he really came back at three in the morning, then I was not dreaming about him.
Charles gently placed his hand on my waist and stroked my belly lovingly.
"I'm going to wash my face and brush my teeth." Saying that, I pushed his hand away and walked to the bathroom.
While I was brushing my teeth, he pushed open the door and walked in, naked.
My cheeks turned red as I immediately turned away and mumbled, "Why don't you have your clothes on?"
"Do you shower with your clothes on?" Asking that, he walked behind me and stood in front of the shower before he turned it on.
Standing in front of the mirror, I could clearly see his naked body in the reflection. 'Fuck! Why does he have to be so good-looking and sexy?'
