Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 31

Scarlett's POV:

When Charles asked me how much he was worth to me, he was standing really close, and I could feel his warm breath on my ear. It was incredibly ambiguous.

I looked down at my toes, and whispered, "You are priceless."

Since he got the answer he wanted, he chuckled in my ear.

"But that was in the past," I added, looking into his eyes.

His smile froze as he turned around and forced me to face him.

"And now?"

His grip was so tight that his fingers were digging into my flesh.

I frowned. It was too windy and I couldn't open my eyes. However, my mind was particularly clear as I said the following words.

"You are not worth a cent."

Charles' expression darkened as he finally eased his grip on my arm.

"I want to be the priceless one. Now, and forever!" "Charles, do you even hear yourself? Don't you think it's ridiculous for a man who is about to divorce his wife to want her to consider him as a priceless treasure?" Shocked, I looked at him in disbelief, but deep down, I was also laughing at the absurd idea.

How could he be so greedy?

'He already has a lover, and yet he wants to be important to me?'

"I am not drunk, if that's what you're thinking. I know exactly what I'm talking about," he retorted with a serious look in his eyes.

"If you are sober, then why do you keep shuttling between two women? You are going to marry your sweetheart, and yet, you can't seem to cut off ties with me, either... Hmm..."

I was furious, but before I could finish my words, my lips were sealed with his as he kissed me forcibly.

Stunned, I did not know how to react, and when I saw a man passing by, I came to my senses and pushed him away.

"What the hell do you want from me, Charles? You asked me to come back to get a divorce, but you're also dragging me along and flirting with me. Are you still the same Charles Moore?"

"It is me! What? Don't act like this is the first day you know me!" Charles' eyes were still filled with passion, but he seemed to be enraged because I had pushed him away.

"You're crazy!" I was so angry that I could not even bring myself to fight with him. I turned around and was about to leave, but then...

"Yes! I'm crazy!" Charles took a step forward and grabbed my hand.

"What are you doing, Charles?" I glared at him, unable to break free.

Without answering me, he pulled me towards his car with great strength. He was obviously livid.

But so was I. I grabbed the car door with my hand, refusing to get in.

"Give me a reason to get in the car," I demanded.

"I left my jacket at your place. I'll drive you home and take my jacket from there. Is that good enough?" Charles was trying his best to restrain his emotions.

"It's just a jacket. You don't need to wear that particular one."

"It's my favorite jacket."

As far as I knew, Charles rarely ever wore the same clothes again, so his reason did not seem believable to me.

I stood next to the car door with no intention of getting in.

"I won't come in. You can get it and give it to me." Charles looked at me helplessly before he finally decided to compromise.

I looked at the cars passing by not far away and all the people around us. I felt that it was not good for us to keep standing there like that, so I agreed to his request and called Nina to apologize to her.

"You can't go back on your word." I was still a little worried.

"Sure," Charles answered readily.

After getting in the car, he leaned against the seat, but his eyes were fixed on me. He looked like a child that was so happy after getting a toy by throwing a tantrum.

I turned to look out of the window, ignoring him.

Soon we arrived at the community. Charles got off the car and opened the door for me like a gentleman while I ignored him and walked straight to the elevator.

With his hands in his pockets, he followed me.
