Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 266

Scarlett's POV:

Yesterday, Charles didn't stop fucking me until it was midnight, so it was difficult for me to get up on time today. After turning off the alarm clock, I turned over, still half-asleep.

"Scarlett," Charles muttered before he kissed me. "You'll be late if you keep lying around in bed. Come on, get up! I'm heading downstairs to make breakfast," he added.

"Got it." Despite my reluctant, I got up.

After washing my face and brushing my teeth, I heard James babbling. I hurried to his crib to check on him.

In the crib, he was looking at me with bright eyes, reaching his hands out to me. "Ma! Momma," he mumbled.

My heart melted at how cute he was. Gently, I held my little angel's hand. "Do you want a hug, James?"

James flashed me a bright smile, babbling with excitement.

"You're so adorable!" I cradled James in my arms, coaxing him. He appeared to be sleepy, and he soon fell asleep.

All of a sudden, I heard a knock on the door. It was Tracy. She came up here to tell me that it was time to go downstairs and have breakfast.

As I looked at my baby in my arms, I was reluctant to leave him.

"I'll take care of James for you." Tracy volunteered to help me, and carefully took James from my arms.

With that, I went downstairs to the dining room after exhorting her to be careful.

In the dining room, Charles was serving breakfast on the table. The way he looked so attentive was so tempting to me. Beneath his rolled-up shirt sleeves, his long arms and slender hands were exposed. Even though they weren't that muscular, I knew that they were strong.

Realizing that my mind was wandering, I blushed. After composing myself, I went to the table to sit down.

Charles was looking at me expectantly, and his expression made me giggle. "It's really good. Thank you for breakfast, Charles."

"It's all worth it as long as you enjoy the food, my love." It was then that Charles sat down and ate with satisfaction. After a while, he suggested, "Hey, Scarlett. If you're not too busy, do you want to play tennis together this afternoon?"

"Oh, too bad. I'm a little busy lately because of the new program. I can't go," I responded, looking at him with regret.

"Oh," Charles replied casually. But I noticed the faint sadness from his eyes.

I moved my chair closer to his and held his hand.

Charles smiled at me, and asked, "What's the theme of the new program?" "It's about a mother's postpartum journey," I answered.

"Sounds meaningful," he said.

"Certainly. Mothers face many challenges even after giving birth. I just want everyone to see the life of a mother postpartum, and hope that they can learn how to be more tolerant and understanding of mothers." After saying that, I let out a sigh. I recalled the time when I just gave birth. So many things happened, and I barely got any time to breathe.

That kind of life was difficult and exhausting.

Charles nodded in agreement. "It's a great idea, Scarlett. But you should know that the theme of your program is too ideal. The law of the jungle is the law of our society. Instead of tackling how others should react towards postpartum mothers, I think you should focus more on the mentality and ability of the mothers themselves after they gave birth."

His remark left me stunned, and there was nothing I could say against it.

After a moment of pondering, I held Charles ' hand and asked, "Can you do me a favor?"

"Lay it on me." Charles interlocked his fingers with mine.

"Your company is an industry giant. I'm sure there's a lot of moms in your company, right? Do you mind if I get in touch with some of them to get some materials for my program?" I asked expectantly. Upon seeing Charles frown, I immediately added, "If you can't help me out, I'll go ask Spencer."

When he heard me say that, he shot me a cold glance. "I didn't say no. Don't ask Spencer for help. Otherwise, I'm going to give him hell on the tennis court."

I chuckled, leaning on his shoulder. "Well, that's settled then."

Charles hugged me, chuckling helplessly.

After eating breakfast, I went to the TV station to work.

When my morning meeting finished, I received a call from Nina. "Why aren't you here yet? The food is ready," she said.

"I'll be there in a bit," I answered.

About twenty minutes later, I arrived at the restaurant.

"Sorry for being late," I remarked.

Nina smirked at me and bantered, "What a busy woman! It seems like we won't be able to have lunch together in the future."

I giggled at her remark and sat across her. "Oh, stop it, you! As long as it's a work day, I'll always have lunch with you. Besides, I'm rarely late for our lunch dates!"

"Um... Scarlett? I might not be able to have lunch with you all the time." Nina suddenly sounded serious.

I looked at her with a smirk on my face and asked, "Is it because your husband thinks that I'm taking up too much of your time? Don't worry about it. You can meet up with him during lunch breaks, if you want. I'll just eat alone."

"That's not it. I'm planning to resign. I want to offer legal aid to the less fortunate." "Really?" I was surprised.

Nina nodded in response before she let out a sigh. "Lately, I've been in contact with a lot of vulnerable groups who are having a hard time getting help from anyone. I just woke up one day, overwhelmed by sympathy, and I wanted to do something to help them. It just so happens that I'll be able to use what I learned to help more people in need. That's why I came to this conclusion."
