Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 250

Scarlett's POV:

As dusk approached, the lights outside the window grew dim. The sunset glow tinted the darkening sky a brilliant red.

When we arrived at Moore mansion, no one was home. The servants told us that Charles' family had taken James along to visit their friends.

I was a little disappointed, since I hadn't seen James for the whole day.

"Isn't it good for us to have some quality time alone?" Charles said, grabbing my hand.

In return, I glared crossly at him. Suddenly, my phone rang.

I took out my phone and saw that it was a message was from Vivian. "What do you think of her?"

Attached was a photo of a woman. She looked beautiful, but seemed to be vulgar in temperament.

I instantly replied to Vivian, "She's not as pretty as you."

"You're such a sweet talker! I bet you can always make your husband happy, right? Or did Charles get angry because you were drunk last night?"

"I don't think so."

After ending our conversation, I put my phone aside and thought about Charles's behavior when we woke up this morning. He acted the same way as usual. On the contrary, I had a terrible headache because of my hangover. My body was in pain and was sore everywhere.

Wait, sore and painful?

I immediately stared at Charles. "Charles. Last night, did we...?"

"I wish." Charles narrowed his eyes at me, his gaze filled with both desire and dissatisfaction. "But since you have your period, I couldn't do anything."

Embarrassed, I quickly looked away, my cheeks flushing. I didn't dare to look at him a second longer.

As it so happened, I received a call there and then. I took the opportunity to shake off Charles's hand and answered the phone. It was the leader of the TV station. "Scarlett, you need to go to France for the interview this Friday. I'm sorry, but honestly, I don't feel comfortable about leaving this task to anyone else."

I gave my agreement and accepted the task without complaint.

"Who's on the phone?" Charles asked, raising his head at me.

"My boss requested me to go on a business trip to France on Friday."

"Business trip? With whom?" Charles furrowed his beautiful eyebrows, his displeasure evident. "Do you really have to go? How many days will you stay there?"

He started shooting questions rapid-fire. I couldn't help laughing. "It's just an interview! Don't worry, it won't take a long time."

Charles gripped my hand with a long face. His lips were pulled into an unhappy frown. "I don't want you to leave me."

"This is my job. You've been on business trips before, but I never stopped you." His reaction rendered me helpless. I didn't know what else to say.

"Well, now, I don't want to leave you," he muttered. My hand was slowly warmed up by his palm, and as he did so, my heart felt warmed as well.

I took the initiative to kiss him on the cheek and coaxed him softly in a gentle tone, "I'll video chat with you every day."

"Okay, but you have to turn on your phone 24 hours a day. We can't lose contact at all, not even for a second!" Charles compromised, looking less gloomy.

"No problem," I agreed readily.

"And..."

Like a child, Charles bombarded me with request upon request. I accepted them all patiently, nodding all the while as I placated him.
