Will Be The Last Time
Charles' POV:
Scarlett frowned as she stared at me.
Her bright, beautiful eyes bewitched me. And it rendered me unable to resist the urge to lean close to her.
Scarlett seemed a little nervous. To my surprise, she closed her eyes and pecked me on the lips.
I was stunned by her initiative.
After taking a step back, she stared me with coquettish eyes. "Let's go back to the mansion tonight, okay?"
"Sure." I licked my lips, feeling unsatisfied.
Then, I locked my eyes on Scarlett.
Confused, she asked, "What...?"
Before she could finish speaking, I held the back of her head, bent over, and kissed her. Then, I jammed my tongue into her mouth and gave her a French kiss.
Tracy yelped for a second, but she soon quieted down and averted her gaze from us.
Meanwhile, Scarlett whimpered and resisted. I embraced her tightly and kissed her more passionately. Seconds later, she indulged herself in our kiss. She wrapped her arms around my neck and began to kiss me back.
After a long time, I finally let go of her. I pressed my forehead against her and suggested, "Maybe we shouldn't go back to the mansion today."
Scarlett glared at me, blushing. "But I want to go back!"
"Well, I guess it would still work as long as we do it quietly," I said.
"Charles!" Scarlett exclaimed.
Seeing that she was about to get pissed, I clammed up. But the smile on my face didn't disappear.
Upon our arrival at the Moore mansion, dinner was already served. We greeted the elders and sat beside them.
Grandpa exhorted Scarlett. "You shouldn't spend all of your time working. You should spend more time with your child whenever possible."
Scarlett was ladling a bowl of soup for Grandma when she heard that. "I will, Grandpa," she answered.
Grandpa nodded with satisfaction before turning to look at me. "Charles, is your company lacking in manpower? My friend has a granddaughter named Nancy Wood. She just graduated this month. Do you mind checking if there's a suitable position for her?"
Honestly, my company was never short on manpower, but Grandpa rarely ever asked for favors. I held him in high regard, so I wanted to do him this favor. Thus, I agreed to his request readily. "I'll ask my assistant to contact her."
After dinner, I wanted to stroll in the garden with Scarlett. However, Grandma took her first.
I had no choice but to follow them around.
Grandma seemed to be in high spirits, and she asked Scarlett to play chess with her.
But after losing several games in a row, Grandma began to act shamelessly. "No, no, no. My eyesight is poor now, so I moved the wrong piece. I'm going to redo my move!"
Scarlett just let Grandma redid her move and just smiled at her. "Grandma, take a good look at the pieces before you make a move this time."
Grandpa shook his head, sighed, and held Grandma's hand. "How could you still be so childish at our age? You're making Scarlett coax you!"
Grandma glared at him and asked, "Am I not allowed to do so?"
"Fine, fine. Do whatever you want." Grandpa immediately conceded and just clammed up beside Grandma.
