Situation
Scarlett's POV:
I had been really busy ever since I became the producer.
I would send James to the Moore mansion so that Alice could take care of him while I was at work. And I would go there to pick him up as soon as I was done with my work.
But whenever I went there, it seemed that Alice wanted to say something to me, but she was hesitant.
I could guess what she wanted to talk to me about, but I was not in the mood to talk about it.
One day, when I was about to leave with James, she stopped me. "Scarlett, is it really over between you and Charles?"
"Mom, do you know how Nate is connected to my mother?" I changed the subject, unwilling to talk about my relationship with Charles.
After a long moment of silence, Alice said with a sigh, "Well, the fact is, Nate loved your mother, but it was one-sided. Your father was the first man that your mother ever loved. Nate fought with your father several times over your mother's love, and he was really unwilling to give up on her. And after your father passed away, he..."
Before Alice could say more, I interrupted her, and said, "I understand. Thanks. I am heading
back now."
With an anxious look in her eyes, she asked, "Why can't you stay a bit longer? Charles will be home soon."
"James is asleep. And I am tired too, so I want to go home and have an early tonight." With a smile, I walked out of there, holding my son in my arms.
I felt like I should leave before Charles returned, because I did not want to see him.
However, just when I was about to start the car, he appeared in front of me. He stopped his car right in front of mine, blocking my way.
I glanced at my son, who was sound asleep, and gave up the idea of honking the horn. After thinking for a second, I got off the car.
At the same time, Charles also got off his car. "What do you want?" I asked in a sullen tone.
Without answering me, he got in my car, sat in the driver's seat, stuck his head out of the window, and said, "Let me drive you home." "No, thanks." Saying that, I glared at him.
Charles glanced at James, and said, "Aren't you worried to let our son sleep alone in the backseat?" I hesitated for a moment before I got in the car with him.
Charles then signaled his driver to drive his car away to make way for my car to pass.
The drive was a silent one, and as soon as we arrived at my apartment, I tried to get off the car, but Charles locked the door.
Before I could say anything, he said, "I'm James
' father. If you want any help, you should come to me first." "There's no need for that. Open the door. I want to get off," I said uneasily as the things that we had done in the car before kept popping up in my mind.
However, Charles sat still as he stared at me.
"Open the door, now! James won't be comfortable sleepinglike this." Feeling a little low, I tried to urge him.
Looking at our son, Charles finally compromised.
I quickly got off the car, letting the cool night breeze cool down my heated face.
The next day, there was news of Nate's party for the wealthy all over the Internet. In the photo, Charles was sitting in the center, and there were two women beside him dressed in sultry clothes. "Why is Charles hooking up with them already? He just got divorced," Nina complained, watching the news.
There was a hint of sadness in my heart as I glanced at her.
"Scarlett, Charles and the baby are here," a colleague reminded me.
Frowning, I got up to go out.
Charles was indeed standing there with James in his arms.
He smiled at me and said, "Our son can say 'mama' now. I brought him over so you could hear it."
