Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 213

Charles' POV:

When I woke up the next morning, my body felt so sore.

I heard some noise, so I opened my eyes, staring at the direction the noise was coming from.

Janet appeared to be frightened. She took a step back, raising her hands. "It's me, Janet."

I frowned, wanting to sit up, but then I found myself having difficulties moving a muscle. I looked down, realizing that I had been tied up.

"What the hell happened?" I asked through gritted teeth.

In a trembling voice, Janet replied, "I found the door of your room wide open. When I came in to check, I saw you tied up. Do you not remember anything that happened?"

The intimate scenes from last night popped up in my head one after another. I recalled how Scarlett got on top of me and kissed me passionately.

She was so patient last night. It was as if she was waiting for an opportunity or something.

"Go and ask Scarlett to come here. Now!" I grunted.

"Tracy has already gone to Scarlett's room to wake her up. Allow me to untie you first," she said.

"No." I refused, and then stared at the door. "The one who tied me up should do it."

Moments later, another person walked into the room.

"Mr. Moore, I can't seem to wake Scarlett up. She's in too deep of a sleep," Tracy said, visibly apprehensive.

I was so angry that I broke into a manic laughter. Scarlett had bound me for an entire night, but she was sleeping like a log.

Janet looked at me, curious to know what I was thinking. "Sir, I think it's best that we untie you. Do you mind?"

I gnashed my teeth and finally agreed.

Janet and Tracy removed the ropes from me.

I moved my aching joints and clenched my fists. "Tracy, Janet, take James out to the park or something. Make sure not to come back before lunch."

Janet and Tracy exchanged glances in silence before they left the room to carry out my order.

Meanwhile, I changed into a fresh set of clothes and tidied up before going downstairs.

Both my mother and grandmother were already drinking tea and chatting in the garden. As usual, I greeted them a good morning, and then I made a request. "Hello, my beautiful ladies! Are you in the mood to go shopping today? I've prepared a surprise for Scarlett, so I'm going to need some time with her alone today."

They readily agreed to my request, and were happy to hear about my surprise for Scarlett.

Before leaving, Grandma held my hand and said,

"Charles, it's good that you're paying more attention to Scarlett. With time and effort, she'll forget all about the unpleasant things that went on between you two."

I promised to do as she had told me, and watched their car leave before going to the nursery.

"Now, let's see if you can escape me!"

Scarlett's POV:

I was sleeping soundly until I was awakened by the sound of running water from the bathroom.

"Janet? Is that you? What's going on?" I opened my eyes, still a little drowsy.

"Were you having a nice dream? Is that why you didn't want to get up?" It was then that I heard Charles' voice.

Startled, I bolted upright only to find him half-naked in front of me.

Charles had only a bath towel on to cover his lower body, and his bare upper body was still damp. His broad chest and well-toned abs were a sight to behold. There were still some driblets of water on his skin, running down his body and passing through his muscles until they disappeared into the edge of the bath towel.

My heart felt like it was about to leap from my chest, and I could feel that my ears were burning up.

By the time I got ahold of myself, Charles was already on the bed. "Are you so enticed that you can't take your eyes off me?" he bantered.

Hurriedly, I got up to try and escape. Unfortunately for me, he was quick to press me down on the bed.

"Where do you think you're going, Scarlett?" Charles leaned over, looking at me from above. His eyebrows were raised and there was an impish grin printed on his lips.

The mere sight of him made my heart race and my face blush.

I pinched my fingers, trying to calm down. "Charles, get a hold of yourself!"

But before I could finish my sentence, Charles stopped me from talking by kissing me.

He pinched my chin in order to force me to accept his kiss. Perhaps this was some sort of punishment. He then nibbled on my earlobe, and planted a hickey on my neck. I could feel my body heating up, and I was starting to get aroused.

Within less than a minute, he had crawled under the sheets with me and clung to my skin.

Suddenly, he removed the bath towel. I was so shocked that I couldn't avert my gaze from him.
