Charles' POV:
Disappointment instantly filled up in my heart as soon as I read that sentence.
"Okay." Although I was a little reluctant, I forced a smile and continued, "If you need anything, just write me a note."
Seeing Scarlett's expressions soften a little, I felt happy, thinking that I had found a way to please her.
I thought that it won't take long for her to start trusting me again.
I then approached the bed again and looked at the twins. "When did Scarlett get pregnant with them?"
I had always been careful when we had sex, and I used protection every time. I hadn't wanted to get Scarlett pregnant again, because I wanted to spend some quality time with her. But God had planned something else for us altogether.
Looking at the twins' sleeping faces, I couldn't help but adore them.
All of a sudden, my phone rang, and I cut the call at once. I wouldn't let anyone spoil my time with my family.
However, to my surprise that person kept calling me.
"You'd better answer. It's not easy to get Jerry and Jason to sleep, so don't wake them up," Scarlett reminded me, and I had no choice but to answer the phone.
"What is it?"
"Mr. Moore, about tonight's business dinner..."
"Stop calling me. Just call Amy if you have any doubts." With that, I hung up the phone rudely and turned to my wife and sons.
Staring at her, I felt as though there was a pulse of electricity passing through my body. My gaze fell on her lips and neck. Everything about her was a fatal temptation and I suddenly felt the urge to kiss her.
Just when I was about to approach her, James, who was playing with his toys until that moment, suddenly shouted, "Daddy, play with me!"
I was about to say no, but then an idea occurred to me. Pretending to be gentle, I turned to my son, and said, "James, how about we play a new game?" "Okay! I love games!" James clapped his hands excitedly.
"Good! Now cover your eyes and don't open them until I say you can, okay?"
"Is it hide and seek?"
"Sort of."
Upon hearing my answer, James covered his eyes with hands, and the room became quiet again.
I quietly walked two steps forward and held Scarlett's waist tightly. "What are you doing? Help!" she whispered.
Lowering my head, I said in a hoarse voice,
"You're killing me, aren't you?"
Before she could say another word, I held her waist, tilted her head softly, leaned in, and kissed her.
Scarlett's POV:
Charles kissed me passionately. Afraid that James might open his eyes, I did not dare to move. I could only stand still and let Charles kiss me.
After a long time, my tongue was numb and I could hardly breathe. Only then did Charles let go of my lips, but he continued to hold me.
We were being intimate with each other after a very long time, which made me feel like my heart was about to jump out of my chest. I leaned on his chest, completely forgetting to push him away.
"Daddy, what's the game?" James' childish question flustered me and I struggled to break free from Charles' embrace.
He looked at me with a snicker, embarrassing me even more. I reached out my hand, wanting to hit him. However, he tightly held my hand and said in a low voice, "You can hit me as much as you want once the kids leave."
