Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 244

Scarlett's POV:

In the morning, I opened my drowsy eyes and reached out my arms to embrace Charles. But then, I realized that he wasn't beside me. The cold touch of the bed sheet jolted me awake.

I still remembered how sweet we were last night. I wondered if it was just a dream.

Still dazed, I went downstairs. There, I saw Christine and Alice sitting at the dining table and eating breakfast. When they heard me go downstairs, they both turned to look at me.

"Good morning, Scarlett. Did you sleep well last night?" Christine asked, smiling at me.

"Sure did, Grandma," I answered listlessly.

"Come and have breakfast with us, dear! I specially made your favorite apple pie today. Charles had to go out early because something urgent needed to be dealt with in the company. But before he left, he made this heart-shaped fried egg, and told us that nobody is allowed to touch it, because it's for his beloved wife." Alice grinned as she said that.

I felt ashamed and annoyed by how foolish I had been. It caught me off-guard that I didn't know since when I had been so easily swayed by Charles' every move.

This dawning realization made me panic. It worried me that this current happiness was but a fleeting dream. But, there was a voice in my heart that said I wanted to be with Charles and that I wanted to have the happiness I once dreamed of.

There was a variety of breakfast food on the table; fresh milk, fruits, pastries, and an apple pie that Christine carefully prepared. They all smelled so good, and mouth-watering.

Compared to these delicious foods, the heartshaped fried egg that Charles made wasn't even worth a glance. But even so, I still savored every bite of it.

While we were having breakfast, none of us mentioned the dispute yesterday about having a second child. But I knew that the issue wasn't over.

And sure enough, after breakfast, Christine brought me to her room. She then held my hand and said earnestly, "My dear Scarlett, I'm getting old. The future of the Moore family depends on your shoulders and Charles' now. I don't really care about his opinion that much, but I want you to give us an answer. Can I expect a great-granddaughter anytime soon?"

The sight of her expectant eyes made me reluctant to say no.

"Of course, Grandma."

"Great! I knew that you'd share the same opinion as I do, my dear!" Christine nodded with relief, still holding my hand.

At this time, Alice also came in. Apparently she had heard what I said just now.

"Scarlett, are you really willing to do that?" It sounded like she couldn't believe it yet.

"Of course."

As soon as I said that, Alice rushed towards me and hugged me with excitement on her face.

"Oh, Scarlett! You truly are the best. Once my granddaughter is born, I'm going to give you big gift!"

The promise I made to these two women made them very happy, and it might've dispelled an oncoming storm in the family. However, I had no idea what might happen in the future.

Now that I had comforted them, I could finally go to work.

Not long after I sat down, Nina rushed into my office.

"Scarlett, do you have a moment? I've pondered about this for a long time, and I figured that it's necessary for me to tell you about this matter." Her eyes lit up.

"Is something the matter, Nina?" I was really confused.

"It's not really that big of a deal. Do you remember that poor girl we met at the bar last time? The one goes by the name Jasmine."

Upon hearing the name, I remembered the girl's tearful pretty face.
