Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 181

Scarlett's POV:

Charles stripped his clothes right in front of me until he was naked. He then threw his clothes on the floor, and walked into the bathroom. A while later, I heard the sound of running water.

'How can he be so shameless? How can he act like he was in his own house? We're divorced, aren't we?'

Annoyed, I picked up his clothes from the ground and put them away.

I suddenly sensed a unique scent.

It was the smell of tobacco, alcohol, and perfume, coming from his coat.

Was that Rita's perfume?

My heart sank to the depths as I thought of that. No matter how much I tried, I could not control the anxiety that I was feeling in my heart.

All of a sudden, I heard the sound of the bathroom door opening, so I quickly threw his coat on the sofa, but it was too late. When I turned around, I saw Charles looking at me with a smile. There was just a towel around his waist. Wiping his hair with another towel, he walked towards me. His strong muscles and his defined abs were making my insides scream.

My heart was racing and I could not help but blush. Panicking, I looked away.

Charles slightly leaned closer and looked at me seriously. "Don't misunderstand. I didn't sleep with Rita. I was just pretending when I was with Rita and Nate in the past few weeks. Don't worry. I will not let them anywhere near me in the future."

"Why were you pretending?" I asked, forcing myself to calm down.

"I have always felt that your father's death was somehow connected to Nate, and I approached them to find hard evidence."

Upon hearing that, I was speechless. My father's death left me emotionally crippled and caused me to divorce Charles.

"So you have been trying to avoid them lately? Is that the reason you haven't been in the city?" I asked.

"Yes. They keep looking for me every day, and it is really annoying! I don't want you to misunderstand me ever again!"

"Actually, there is no misunderstanding at all. We're divorced, so you're totally free do whatever you want with whomever you want. I..." "Don't say such things."

The next second, Charles pulled me to him. Before I could react, I found myself in his arms.

His scent mixed with the fragrance of the bodywash made me want to indulge in his embrace. I fell into a trance because of the familiar smell.

"Charles, let go!" However, I came to my senses in just a few seconds and struggled.

After all, we were divorced. He had no right to touch me now.

Charles seemed to have guessed my thoughts.

"Scarlett, I only agreed to divorce you because I cared about you and our son. Back then, you were emotionally unstable. The doctor said that you couldn't be stressed out, or both yours and the baby's life might be in danger, that's the reason I was left with no choice..."

Saying that, he continued to hold me warmly. I could feel his steamy breath brushing against my ear, and droplets of water fell from his wet hair, wetting my collar.

Shivering, I tried to dodge him, but he stopped me in one swift move.

My eyes felt a little dry as I said in a hoarse voice, "Let me go."

"I only took Rita to the hospital to make you jealous. Because not only did you lost your wedding ring, you also flirted with other men," he seductively whispered in my ear.

"It's none of your business!" With that, I pushed him away.

I knew that my heart would jump out of my chest if I continued to be around him.

"Scarlett, will you give me another chance if I find out the real cause of your dad's death?" He suddenly seemed very serious and earnest, unlike his usual playful and cynical self.

However, I stayed silent. I didn't know how to answer his question.

He suddenly grabbed my hand, and added, "Just give me some time, and I will find out the truth."

I could feel his affection as he stared at me with his tender gaze. There was sincerity in his tone as he waited for my response.

"You should leave." Saying that, I turned away from him, unwilling to look at him.

"I have felt it, you know?" Instead of leaving, he continued to talk to me in his deep, sexy voice.

"What did you feel?"

"I feel your love." Upon hearing those words, I felt like I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time.
