Scarlett's POV:
"You just couldn't wait, could you? You had to bring your lover with you even when you're here to get divorced. Are you planning on getting married right after the divorce?"
Charles sneered coldly.
I also became furious when I saw his disdainful look. "You are right about that, Mr. Moore. Would you like to give your ex-wife a wedding gift?" Hearing that, Charles glared at me so seriously that it felt like his eyes were an abyss waiting to suck me in and destroy me.
I reflexively took a step back and fell into William's arms.
William put his hands around my waist intimately and raised his hand to stroke my hair gently.
"Baby, you look stunning with that new haircut of yours! Were you annoyed because the twins always ended up grabbing your hair?"
I was silent as I looked at him in a daze.
I had already made things clear to him last night. Later he did swear with a rational expression that he only wanted to be my friend.
If that was really the case, then what was he doing there now?
William lowered his head and looked at me
affectionately. "I did not want you to come alone. You will be mine after today."
He then tried to touch my face, but I dodged him by turning my head aside.
However, he continued to hold me in his arms without giving up.
"Honey, don't be shy."
My mind was a mess. What was he even trying to do?
"Scarlett, go through the formalities and don't make Charles wait too long."
I glanced at Charles, who was clearly furious. All of a sudden, I understood what William was trying to do.
My anger for Charles made me almost forget the real reason I was there.
"You two can't wait any longer, can you?" Charles teased with a scoff, raising his eyebrows at us.
"I have no choice. Scarlett and I can wait, but our children can't. They need a father."
William put away his playful smile and looked at Charles seriously. I snuggled up in his arms and acquiesced in his words.
All of a sudden, Charles burst into laughter, making me have goose-bumps. He then walked a few steps forward as William and I stared at him in confusion.
Soon, he stopped in his tracks, turned around, and glared at me.
"Scarlett."
I looked up at him.
"Do you really want to get a divorce?"
There was a heavy trace of temptation and seduction in his voice that made him sound like the serpent that lured Adam and Eve to the forbidden fruit.
I suddenly had a bad feeling and did not dare to say anything.
"If that's what you want, then I won't let you have it. I won't divorce you!"
His words made me stand rooted to the spot.
He then passed by William and made his way to his Maybach. The next second, William came to his senses and stopped him.
"Charles, how can you call yourself a man if you break your promise like this?" William questioned him.
"Didn't you say that you only think of her as your friend? Do you really think that a real man would sleep with his friend?"
"I..." William was rendered speechless.
Charles cast a malicious glance at me before he turned around and left.
I quickly came to my senses, pushed William away, caught up with Charles, and held his hand.
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean by bringing your lover here to spite me?"
Looking at the unmistakable hatred in his eyes, I knew that he had already made up his mind.
I grabbed his hand tightly to stop him from leaving.
"You promised me."
"Yes, Charles. You promised her that you would go through the divorce procedures with her today." Saying that, William stood behind me.
"I am not going to divorce you. Besides, there is no way that you can live happily with a guy like him! From now on, I am going to focus only on stopping you from getting what you want."
Charles shook off my hand and continued in a loud voice, "Let go!"
