Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 279

Charles's POV:

Scarlett and I arrived at the airport at three o'clock in the afternoon to see my parents and James off.

Nestled in Mom's arms, James was wearing a leather jacket, a baseball cap, and a small schoolbag.

The little boy did not know yet that he would be separated from his parents. The moment he saw Scarlett and me, he smiled from ear to ear and greeted us excitedly. "Dad, Mom, go!"

Scarlett's eyes brimmed with tears. When Mom was about to enter the lounge with James, my son suddenly burst into tears.

"Mommy, Daddy!" he cried.

His face turned red, and tears welled up in James's eyes. He tried to break free from Mom's arms but to no avail. Sadly, he could only reach out his little arms to Scarlett.

A mother and son indeed had a special bond. All of a sudden, Scarlett rushed to James and held him in her arms for the last time.

The two hugged each other and cried bitterly. It was as if they were not going to see each other again for the rest of their lives.

It took us great efforts to coax James that they almost missed their flight.

Scarlett was restless on the way back from the airport.

"Charles, will it be okay to leave James with them alone?" she worriedly asked.

I held her hand and assured her, "It's okay, honey. It's just a trip. Besides, they have bodyguards around them 24 hours a day. I assure you, nothing will happen."

"Still... How about I fly to them in a few days?"

"No. If you leave, then what about me? The Independence Day is in a few days. You have to 'accompany' me."

It was not every day we got to be alone for a few days. I would not let such a good opportunity go to waste.

When I said the word 'accompany', I paused for a moment and glanced at Scarlett from head to toe with a mischievous smile.

"You rascal!" Scarlett glared at me, her face red in embarrassment.

In my eyes, she looked so cute when she was not calm and composed like she usually was.

"What do you say, Honey?"

"Whatever. You know, I don't know what to do with you sometimes."

******

To celebrate my hard-won prize, I brought Scarlett to the Rose Hotel in the evening.

However, my excitement did not last for a long time. Why was it that whenever the two of us were alone, someone would come along and be the third wheel?

Spencer called out of the blue and asked if he could come to dinner with us. Before I could refuse, Scarlett told him to take Vivian with him.

Now, our date had turned into a double date

About an hour later, the four of us were seated at the table in the restaurant. Nobody spoke a word, and an awkward silence filled the air.

It was Spencer who broke the ice. He put down his chopsticks and looked at me helplessly. "Charles, stop pulling on a long face, will you? You're killing the mood."

I forced a smile and asked sarcastically, "Did I?" "You can do better than that. Everyone can see that you're unhappy."

All of a sudden, the door of the private room opened. I could not help but frown when I saw Nancy come in.

What was she doing here anyway?

"Charles, what a coincidence! I happened to have dinner here, so I came by to say hello. I hope I didn't interrupt anything."

Meanwhile, Scarlett cast a confused look at me.

"This is Nancy Wood, Nicholas's sister," I whispered in her ear.

Nancy greeted everyone with a warm smile.

However, Spencer looked at her with an unfriendly gaze and asked rudely, "Who are you?" "My name is Nancy Wood. I'm working in Charles's company. Who's that lady next to you?" Nancy looked at Vivian with a curious gaze.

"Oh, her name is Vivian. She's my girlfriend," Spencer replied without hesitation.

Vivian was stunned. She did not expect him to be so straightforward.
