Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 343

Charles's POV:

"James, go play with your mother." After my mother left, I put James down.

James ran toward Scarlett.

"Have you had dinner?" I turned around and headed to the kitchen.

"Charles, don't..."

Scarlett suddenly stopped me.

Confused, I turned around and saw her striding toward me.

She walked in a hurry. When I abruptly turned around to face her, she took a step back.

Noticing that James was following his mother closely, I grabbed Scarlett and pulled her into my arms.

I looked down and saw Scarlett glaring at me.

"Let go of me, Charles!"

"James is behind you. I was just worried that you would knock him down because you didn't see him," I explained earnestly.

The expression on Scarlett's face told me that she couldn't wait to break free from my grip, and it broke my heart.

Scarlett turned around and saw James standing behind her. She cooled down at once.

Seeing that we were hugging each other, James naughtily stuck out his tongue at me.

Scarlett shook off my hand.

It wasn't easy for me anymore to hold my own wife, and when I did, she wouldn't allow me much time to enjoy the feeling. I reluctantly let her go.

"Daddy, you hugged Mommy!" James pointed out happily while covering his mouth and snickering.

I put on a weak smile, turned around, and proceeded to the kitchen.

"I don't need you to cook for us, Charles," Scarlett said flatly.

"I want to cook for my children," I snapped. I could understand why Scarlett was keeping her guard up around me, but she didn't need to be hostile. It was starting to annoy me.

I just wanted to be a good father to my sons. Why was she trying to stop me?

Scarlett was rendered speechless.

I entered the kitchen and started preparing dinner for my kids.

Scarlett's POV:

At dinner time, I sat at the table with James in my arms and asked Janet to go upstairs to invite Alice to dinner.

"Mrs. Moore has left," Janet reported.

I just nodded and said nothing.

At this time, Charles came out of the kitchen with a dish and was about to sit opposite me.

"You can leave now. There's no need for us to have dinner together," I said and frowned.

"Can't I have dinner with my children? Seriously, Scarlett. Just let me spend some more time with them. They're my kids, too," Charles replied, pulled out a chair, and sat down. His tone was full of impatience.

"Charles, we have an agreement. You're only allowed to visit the kids once a week. You've already come to see them twice in three days," I retorted and glared at Charles, dissatisfied that he didn't keep his end of the bargain.

"Yes, I've come here twice in three days, but those three days are right in the middle of two separate weeks, so I'm not violating anything," Charles reasoned and put on a smug smile. He was obviously pretty pleased with himself that he found a technicality that he could milk. I rolled my eyes, mostly because he was right.

I found myself out of ways to drive him away.

Seeing that I didn't say anything more, Charles grinned.

"James, how's the food Daddy made for you? Is it good?"

James held his bowl happily and replied, "It's so yummy, Daddy!"

Smiling, Charles stroked James's head and filled his bowl with more soup.

Seeing that James was enjoying spending time with his father, I kept silent. I just hoped that Charles would leave as soon as dinner was over.

However, Charles didn't leave at once after dinner. Instead, he held James in his arms and refused to go.

"Scarlett, I want to sleep beside James tonight."

James chimed in, "I want to sleep with Mommy and Daddy!"

Hearing James's request, I didn't know what to say.

Allowing Charles to stay overnight here? No way! "James, you have to ask for Mommy's permission first. Only when Mommy agrees can Daddy stay with you," Charles said and rubbed James's little head.
