Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 236

Charles's POV:

Scarlett looked me up and down, raising her eyebrows at my pajamas. However, she said nothing about them.

Her face was pure and innocent, her eyes exceedingly enchanting and charming. Even though I was with her almost every day, her beauty still fascinated me.

I approached her and closed one arm around her soft waist, while the other hand snuck on her full chest. I said meaningfully to her in a low whisper, "I've taken a shower next door, Scarlett." However, Scarlett shoved my hands away and grabbed my arms instead, as if she was clueless to my hints.

She suggested, "Let's go downstairs to drink. We can eat something along the way."

Her words made me froze, and I stood rooted to the spot. Scarlett, who had taken a step forward, was forced to stop in her tracks. She turned around and shot a sharp glance at me, annoyed. "What are you doing, Charles? Didn't you ask me to drink with you at home? I agreed, but why are you still unhappy?"

I hugged her and mumbled softly, "No, I'm not unhappy. I'm fine"

I didn't want to just drink at such precious time...

I stared at her, my eyes filled with affection and eagerness. But the moment Scarlett's gaze fell on me, I immediately put on an innocent look. "Let's go downstairs."

I warned myself again and again to take things slow and be patient. Otherwise, I might scare Scarlett away and render all my previous efforts vain. If I wanted to win her over, I needed a lot of patience.

When we reached downstairs, Scarlett grabbed some red wine and goblets, and placed them on the table.

Seeing her busying herself, I couldn't help smiling. Then, I turned around and brought out the cream cake I had bought previously.

"When did you buy that?" Scarlett asked, surprised.

I put the cake on the table and took a seat beside her. "Before I picked you up, Tracy told me that you liked the cream cake I bought before."

Scarlett glared at me, though she looked quite flirtatious. "You have the nerve to say that!"

I knew she was referring to the conflict we had back then.

"I didn't mean to upset you at that time. I promise I won't do that again." I closed our distance, and licked her tender red lips gently.

Scarlett blushed instantly, her appearance so cute and adorable.

I saw that she was going to be angry again, so I quickly let go of her and stood up. "Let me cut the cake for you."

I grabbed a knife and cut the cake into neat pieces. Then, I put one piece in front of Scarlett and handed her a dessert fork.

Scarlett took the fork eagerly and scooped one bite of the cake. Her eyes curved like crescent moons as she relished in the taste. "Yummy!" "Let me have a taste." I leaned over to grab a small bit of the remaining cake that was still on her fork.

Looking up, I realized that there was still some cream on the corner of Scarlett's mouth. She was staring at me dazedly, stunned by my actions.

Unable to help myself, I let out a small laugh before kissing her lips. As I did so, the cream on the tip of my tongue melted.

I whispered in a hoarse voice, "So sweet."

Scarlett's ears turned red instantly. She pushed me away, embarrassed, and yelled, "Just drink your wine!"

"Okay." I sat back calmly, grabbed some wine, and clinked glasses with her.

Scarlett glanced at me briefly before looking away immediately and gulping down the wine in her glass.

I raised my eyebrows and snickered to myself. I had no intention to stop her at all.

"We won't go back to Moore mansion today. What about James?" Scarlett poured more wine into her glass, but she didn't let go of the wine bottle. Instead, she looked at me questioningly with her head tilted slightly.

"Don't worry. Mom and Grandma are there," I comforted her softly, hoping to reassure her.

However, she replied with a frown. I had no choice but to take out my phone. I opened an app before giving it to her. "This is the real time surveillance video of the nursery. Do you want to see it? See? James is sleeping."

"Wow! I can't believe you can check that on your phone!" Astonished, Scarlett took my phone and glued her eyes on the screen with a happy smile. "Oh my god! My son is so cute even when he's sleeping!"

"That's because he inherited the best genes from us."

"God, you're so smug." Scarlett flashed me a small smile and held my hand, trying to please me. "Let's go back later. I can't sleep well if I don't hug James before going to bed."

I turned her hand over and slowly separated her fingers, and then interlocked my fingers with hers lovingly. "Okay."
