Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 271

Scarlett's POV:

After listening to Vivian's words, I knew that any comfort would be useless. Wanting to cheer her up, I proposed, "How about we go shopping? The best way to make ourselves happy is to spend money!"

"Okay," Vivian replied, smiling softly.

And so, we went on shopping spree. Just like that, the matter from before completely vanished from our minds.

Tracy and Janet followed us obediently, with James in the stroller. James seemed to enjoy the shopping mall very much, cooing happily at the sights and sounds there. His doe eyes looked around excitedly, the curiosity in them evident.

At noon, we had lunch at a restaurant.

I ordered some eggs for James. I crushed them into fine bits before feeding them to him.

As I was feeding him, my phone vibrated. It was a message from Charles.

"Where are you? I'll pick you up."

I replied by sending him the location of the restaurant.

A while later, I spotted Charles standing at the door of the restaurant. He was wearing a simple white shirt, but he looked dashing all the same. Happily, I waved at him and called, "Charles,

here."

To my surprise, he was followed by two people. Spencer and David were there as well, walking casually behind him.

"Spencer, David. You're here too."

"Hi, Scarlett. Oh, is this baby James? He really looks like Charles!" David approached James for a closer look at him, and then caressed his little face gently.

"I don't know, I think he looks more like Scarlett. Especially his eyes," Spencer disagreed.

"James inherited all of mine and Scarlett's best genes." Charles slipped in and joined the conversation. His tone was light, but there was a distinct smugness in them. He couldn't help brag about his son, apparently.

"You're right. James is the fruit of your love, isn't he?" Vivian echoed with a smile.

"There, Vivian is hot and smart. Spencer, you better marry her as soon as possible."

Spencer was stunned, unable to reply. Vivian took advantage of his silence and teased, "Don't make things difficult for him, now. He doesn't even like me. Besides, our families aren't equal in social status. We're not right for each other."

"Oh...? Turns out that you're pretty old-fashioned when it comes to relationship and marriage." Charles sized Spencer up and down, showing a rare expression of disgust. His eyes were narrowed in disapproval.

Spencer was rendered speechless a second time. After a moment of silence, he relented and mumbled, "Fine, I admit defeat."

James, the curious little thing he was, looked around and blinked innocently. Suddenly, he let out a happy giggle. Then, he stretched and spread out his chubby hands towards Charles.

Charles smiled at me, and then took James from me. He held James with one hand and held my hand tightly with the other. Then, we made our way towards the parking lot.

"We're leaving now, everyone. See you next time." I turned around and waved goodbye to Spencer and the rest, and walked away with Charles.

Spencer's POV:

After Charles left, David bade goodbye and made his leave as well.

Now, only Vivian and I were left.

I was about to ask her where she wanted to go, but then her phone rang and cut off my attempt. She picked up the call and said in an exaggerated tone, "Of course I'm free this afternoon. Where do you want to go?"

"How about horseback riding?" From where I sat, I could clearly hear a man's voice from her phone. In an instant, jealousy burned me whole. 'Horseback riding? Oh yeah? Well, your face looks like a horse!' I couldn't help but curse inwardly, seething.

"Fine, let's go horseback riding. Send me the address. See you later!" Vivian hung up the phone. Then, she stood up to leave, not even sparing me another glance.

"Stop!" So infuriated I was, I followed her without thinking.

"What on earth are you doing, Spencer? I'm going on a date. Don't follow me!" Vivian stopped in her tracks and spun around to glare at me.

"Well, I want to go horseback riding too!"
