Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 232

Charles' POV:

The sound of my son's crying jolted me awake.

Upon opening my eyes, I saw James, the source of the noise, staring at me with his innocent eyes. He was looking at me through the fence of the crib.

To be honest, he looked like a miniature version of me. The only difference was that his eyes were similar to Scarlett's. They were like quiet lakes that pulled people in with just one stare.

"Where is your mommy? Why are you on your own, little man? Hush now, stop crying." I looked around, but Scarlett was nowhere to be found.

"Ma!" James began to suck on his thumb as tears ran down his eyes. "Mama... Ma!"

"Fine, fine... I'll take you to your mother." I picked James up and brought him downstairs.

There, I saw Scarlett talking over the phone.

When she turned around, her eyes met mine. Instantly, she tensed up, acting a little strange.

"Who are you talking to? And what were you talking about? You didn't even notice me going downstairs." I approached her with James still in my arms.

Scarlett finally hung up the phone.

"Something's wrong with the press. I'll have to go on a business trip once I'm fully recovered," she said, cautiously waiting for my response.

"I see," I replied. I lowered my head and began to play with James.

"Aren't you going to ask me any details about it?" Scarlett appeared to be surprised.

"If I ask you questions, will it stop you from going?" I walked towards Scarlett with James still in my arms. James was staring at her with his beady, innocent eyes. Her face softened and it became incomparably gentle.

"No." Scarlett planted a kiss on James' forehead and looked up at me. "But I can promise you that I'll call you every day."

I was pleasantly surprised to see her being quite obedient today, and there was a glimmer of joy in her beautiful eyes.

My heart skipped a beat as I raised my eyebrows. "I want a kiss, too."

I wanted her to seal her promise with a kiss.

"Go wash up. James is getting hungry." Scarlett pretended not to hear me, intending to take the baby from me as soon as possible.

I had no choice but to pass James onto her, and I pretended to leave. But when Scarlett wasn't looking, I took the opportunity to lean in and kiss her on the lips.

She was taken aback by what I did. "Charles, stop it!"

"Dop! Dop!" said James. His eyes wandered between me and Scarlett. And he clapped his hands, mimicking the words that he didn't even understand.

Both Scarlett and I were so amused that we broke into laughter.

It was a wonderful morning.

Spencer's POV:

At long last, I was discharged from the hospital.

For the past month, I had been lying in bed, feeling extremely bored because of my injured leg. The most annoying thing was that Vivian had reached an agreement with my mother, while I was incapacitated. She would take some strange women into my ward from time to time.

After going through the discharge formalities, I stepped out of the hospital. Somewhere nearby, there was a gorgeous, sexy lady with heavy makeup on. She was waving at me from in front of a luxurious car.

"Spencer!"

she shouted.

It was Lilith.

"Surprise! I'm here to pick you up." Lilith walked closer towards me and said, "Get in the car. Where would you like to celebrate your discharge from the hospital?"

I took a step back, feeling incredibly disappointed. 'Even Lilith knows that I've been discharged from the hospital. Where is the woman who should be here today?' I asked in my mind.

"Who are you waiting for?" asked Lilith.

As I looked around, I saw a familiar car pulling over in front of me.

It was Vivian!

She rolled down the window of her car, staring at me in silence.

"Are you here to pick me up?" I pretended to be cool and composed.

Before Vivian could answer, Lilith clung to me and held my arm. "Didn't I tell you that I'd be the one to pick you up today? You can't run off with someone else!"

After glancing at us, Vivian rolled up her window.

And before I could shake off Lilith's hands, Vivian had already driven away and soon disappeared from my sight.
