Charles' POV:
After leaving Scarlett's house, I told Spencer I'd meet him at his bar. The moment I entered the bar, the deafening music resonated in my ears. It was so noisy that I frowned with displeasure.
If only I could stay with Scarlett at home, I would never go out to drink at a bar.
"Come on, man! Let's drink!" Naturally, Spencer couldn't read my mind, so he asked me to sit down and drink with him.
But before long, I received a message from my mother. "Scarlett is here with James."
After having read the message, I sprang to my feet and couldn't wait to get out of the bar.
"Charles, what the hell, man? We just got here. Where are you going?" Spencer asked when he caught up with me.
"Scarlett is at home. I wanna go back now. Sorry, dude. I have to cancel on you today," I said with a little bit of regret.
"Well, your wife is always more important than your bro! It's cool. Let me see you off, then!" Spencer responded.
"Thanks, Spencer," I replied. Spencer knew me well, so he didn't get mad at me. Instead, he just followed me to the entrance of the bar.
It was then that I saw Vivian at a corner of the bar, speaking to a man. I patted Spencer on the shoulder, asking him to take a look.
Quietly, we approached him. And when we were close enough, we were able to hear the man speak. "I'll see you again next time, babe!"
"Fuck off!" Vivian growled.
"Spencer, do you think she cuckolded you?" Once the man had left, I couldn't help but tease Spencer.
"That's impossible!" I could tell that Spencer was infuriated. He hurried to Vivian's side and asked, "Who was that man?"
It seemed like she didn't expect to run into Spencer here. "He's one of my friends," she replied.
"A friend, huh? Then why did you call you 'babe' ?" Spencer refused to believe her.
"Spencer, that's enough. I'm too exhausted to deal with your crap." Vivian had no intention of answering and just walked away from him.
"Spencer, I gotta go, dude. Go ahead and deal with your problem."
Seeing that they were having a fight, I decided to leave them alone.
Upon my arrival at home, I changed my shoes at the door and was about to go upstairs. However, I suddenly realized that I reeked of smoke. I knew that Scarlett wouldn't like it, so I decided to go the bathroom to take a shower first.
About a half hour later, I finished cleaning myself and now I smelled great.
I put on my pajamas, which were the same style as Scarlett's.
I stared at myself in the mirror. My hair was still damp, and my muscles were well-outlined. Not to toot my own horn, but I was quite proud that my figure was great. Then, I deliberately left the two topmost buttons of my shirt unbuttoned.
If I were to seduce Scarlett now, she wouldn't be able to resist my charms. 'This plan is going to work!' I remarked inwardly.
"Scarlett!" I exclaimed, opening the door of the baby's room.
But I was disappointed to see that only James was sleeping in bed.
'Where on earth is Scarlett?'
Suddenly, I heard a set of footsteps coming from behind me.
"Charles?"
Delighted, I turned around and asked, "Where have you been?"
Scarlett raised a glass of water she was holding. "I went to get some water."
Then, she looked at me and asked, "Aren't you going in?"
Only then did I realize that I had been standing at the doorway.
"Yes, of course. I'm sure James misses me. I want to see him."
