Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 30

Scarlett's POV:

I'm going to accompany Rita for the check-up. As soon as I mentioned divorce, Charles' voice became cold.

He then ran out of the room as though he was afraid that his sweetheart was going to die if he wasted another moment.

Looking at his receding figure, I sighed with a heavy heart. Deep down, I felt like Rita would immediately feel much better if he showed her our divorce papers.

But the door slammed shut, and he was gone.

I walked to the sofa and looked at the clean table. Thinking of that Charles was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, I fell in a daze.

Rita's wedding dress was ready. It was very likely that what just happened a while ago would probably never happen again.

I was in a trance that entire day. And in the evening, I received a call from Nina. I went to the bar to meet her.

Scarlett, what's the relationship between the three of you? Why did I sense a weird awkwardness in your relationship that day?

Nina had been curiously eyeing me ever since I walked into the bar, and now, she could not help but ask.

It's a love triangle, but it's more complicated. Since she seemed to have already noticed that something was wrong, I had to admit it.

So you guys... She was truly shocked.

I can't tell you more for now. Honey. I'm sorry, I interrupted her with a smile.

Nina hesitated for a moment before she smiled back. She then changed the subject and said, "By the way, what's your relationship with Spencer? You two look cute together."

We are just pretending to be dating. We're not lovers.

Can I pursue him, then? Nina asked cautiously, but her eyes were twinkling.

Of course, you can.

Ever since Spencer and I decided to follow Charles' advice and pretend to be in a relationship, we had been feeling very uncomfortable to be around each other. And now, Nina wanted to pursue Spencer. So I could take her with me when I went on a date with him in the future. As long as they were dating, I would just be following them around, and it was not too far off from Charles' original plan, anyway.

It was the best of both worlds.

Tell me more about Spencer. I'm curious. Nina couldn't hide her true feelings at all. As soon as she heard that I had no objection, she seemed to be very excited.

But I didn't know much about Spencer, so I could only tell her what I knew.

Nina listened carefully as I provided as much as details I could. We had a good conversation, and we bonded over that.

While we were happily talking, I received a text message from Rita. It was a photo of her and Charles where she was wearing a wedding dress. She asked me if she looked good.

I wanted to say something perfunctory to her, but when I thought of the fact that she was so difficult to handle, I gave up on the idea. All of a sudden, an idea occurred to me, and I forwarded the photo to Charles with the following message, "This is a good one. It hasn't been exposed yet, right? How much will the paparazzi give me if I sell this? After all, this is first-hand information, which is very valuable."

Charles replied with just a question mark.

I glanced at it and had no interest in continuing the conversation, so I locked my phone screen.

Two hours later, Nina went to the bathroom. While I was looking around the bar in my seat, a middle-aged man walked up to me. He was dressed in a black suit.

Miss Riley, my boss would like to have a word with you.

Upon hearing his words, I looked at him in a daze. His "boss" was no doubt the next Mr. Walker.

Umm, okay. I stood up.

Miss Riley, this way please. The man led me outside.

There was a Bentley waiting at the entrance. As the windows rolled down, I saw a man's ugly face in front of me.

He looked at me, but for some reason, his gaze disgusted me. It almost made me feel like I was some kind of a commodity, and not a person.
