Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 314

Charles' POV:

At a glance, I recognized the little boy in Scarlett's arms. It was my dear son, James.

A year had passed, and he had grown up a bit. He looked a lot like me now.

Some part of me thought that I'd never see my son again, but I didn't expect that God would be kind enough to bring him back to me.

Sadly, the woman I loved so much, the mother of my child, wanted to take James away from me. What kind of cruel twist of fate was this?

I stared at Scarlett with a fierce gaze, waiting for her explanation. However, she just covered James' face in a fit of panic, and averting her gaze from me.

I felt as though my heart was being torn from inside, and the pain made my hands tremble.

"James will come with me. And you, Scarlett, I'm giving you two choices. You can either come back to me or stay here with William. Make your choice. Now."

I suppressed my heartache and pretended to be calm. Even though I was the one who gave her such a cruel choice, I was secretly hoping that she would choose to come home with me and James. But sadly, she let me down again.

"Charles, don't force me to do this!" Scarlett roared.

Once again, my heart was shattered.

"Charles, why do you have to make everyone feel bad?" William stood in front of Scarlett, acting like a knight who was merely guarding a princess, while I was the dragon attempting to whisk the princess away.

Anger flowed through my veins, and all my rationality was slowly being torn from my body. "That's a ridiculous question. I am James ' biological father, and I will not let anyone take my son away from me!"

I stared into Scarlett's eyes and said, "Make your choice, Scarlett. Do you want to go back with me and James or give up the baby and stay here with him? I'm giving you a minute to think about it."

As I spoke, I stared at my wristwatch and added, "Your time starts now."

Tears welled up in Scarlett's eyes. She held James tightly while staring at me bitterly.

"Charles, you don't really love James," she said.

'That's ridiculous!' I exclaimed inwardly. She claimed that I didn't love my son, but the day I lost him, my entire world collapsed around me. For countless nights, I woke up screaming because of the same recurring nightmare. As long as I could have him back, I was willing to do just about anything.

'She has no right to doubt my love for James!'

"Scarlett, stop trying to buy time. No matter what you say, James is my son and he's the heir of the Moore family. I must take him home!"

Scarlett turned around, intending to escape along with James. However, I wasn't going to let her get what she wanted.

"Stop her!"

As soon as I issued the commanded, several of my men surrounded her, leaving Scarlett no way to escape.

"Tracy, bring James to me."

Tracy was left stupefied. She was hesitant to do as I asked of her, and in the end, she decided against it.

"Do you really have to do this?" asked Scarlett. I could see the resentment in her eyes when she said those words.

"I've already told you that if you don't want to be apart from James, you can go home with us."

With a face devoid of emotion, I stared at Scarlett, clenching my fists. This was the second time I had given her a chance to decide. My palms were sweating as I silently prayed that she'd choose to compromise for the sake of our child.

But to my chagrin, she didn't say anything. She just glared at me, holding James tightly.

With every passing second, my patience was wearing thin. Annoyed, I shouted at Tracy, "Did you not hear me, Tracy? I said bring me my child!" "Mr. Moore, Scarlett has just reunited with James. Are you really going to be so heartless as to separate them?" Tracy stammered.

'Scarlett just reunited with James?' I asked inwardly.

It turned out that William had only told Scarlett the truth not long ago.

He had been hiding James for a year, and he had been lying to her for the same amount of time. 'The truth has come to light, and yet she doesn't hate William? Didn't she hate deception and betrayal the most? He betrayed her trust, and yet she still chooses to be with him? She's even willing to give James up for him! Has Scarlett really fallen in love with William?' I wondered.

She was willing to give up everything we had for many years for a person who had been lying to her. 'What was I to her?' I thought bitterly.

I felt as though I had fallen into the frozen tundra of the Arctic Ocean. The cold penetrated deep into my flesh and bones, and it froze my very soul and beating heart.

I shot Tracy a cold glance once more. "If you don't bring James to me, I will banish Janet from the country. Make your choice!"
