Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 346

Scarlett's POV:

"Yes," I blurted out without thinking. At the same time, I was a little dissatisfied. Why didn't Nancy keep him downstairs?

Charles's face darkened. "You didn't have to answer the question so bluntly."

"You're not a kid. You're a grown man. You don't need me to sugarcoat things for you," I retorted.

Charles was rendered speechless. He raised his hand and rubbed the bridge of his nose.

After a while, he asked, "Why did you call Nancy here?"

"I want you two to be together so that I can get rid of you." As the words left my lips, a surge of bitterness almost stopped my heart dead.

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Charles asked through gritted teeth.

Some painful memories flashed in my mind. I took a deep breath and let the harsh words flow out of my mouth. "Yes, I know what I'm talking about. It's time for you to move on to a new partner. I'm no longer the pretty Scarlett you once loved. Can't you see how much I've changed since giving birth to the twins? Just leave, Charles."

I tried to walk past Charles, but he blocked my way. "Scarlett, no woman can compare with you."

I couldn't believe his words anymore. I scoffed and tried to walk away. Unexpectedly, he held me into his arms and said, "You're the only woman I'm capable of loving, do you understand? And it'll take more than just changes in your body for me to leave you."

Although his honeyed words were pleasant to hear, the past was still vivid in my mind. I shook my head and tried to break free from his grip. "I don't want to hear any more, Charles. Please, just go."

He looked into my eyes and said, "Listen to me, Scarlett." He held on to me.

"I'm begging you, Charles. Please. Just leave," I sobbed.

Thinking of the pain he had caused me, I couldn't help trembling. "I just want a simple and ordinary life. Please let me go with the children..."

Before I could finish my sentence, Charles crashed his lips onto mine.

I pushed him away with all my strength and hissed, "Stop it! Enough!" Tears started streaming down my face. The next second, Charles pulled me into his arms again.

"I won't leave you."

I tried my best to struggle but to no avail. Charles was much, much stronger than I, and he held me like he wanted to embed my body into his.

I could smell the alcohol in his breath. I pleaded once more, "Let me go, Charles."

Charles rested his chin on my shoulder. I felt his hot breath on my neck. He repeated softly, "I won't leave you. I won't let you go. I'll hold you in my arms forever."

All of a sudden, his phone rang, but he didn't pick it up. Afraid of waking up the children, I urged him to answer the phone, "Pick it up. The children are sleeping. The noise will wake them up."

Charles took out his phone and answered it, but he wrapped his arm around my waist, refusing to let me go. I caught a glimpse of the caller ID. It was Nancy.

"Hello?" he groaned.

"Charles, I won first place. Thank you for your gift," I heard Nancy say sweetly.

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

While Charles was busy speaking to Nancy, I took the opportunity to shake off his grip and go downstairs. I felt somewhat unhappy.

I went to the first floor, found an empty room, and called William.

I didn't know exactly why I wanted to speak to William, but Charles was definitely part of the reason.

I felt lost and confused. I needed someone to talk to.

"Hi, William. How are you?"

"Hey. Good to hear from you. I'm fine. I just ran into a little trouble. I'm handling it."

"That's good." I felt relieved.

"I heard from Nina that you went back to work. Have you decided to stay this time?"

"I'm glad to know you're safe. Let's limit our contact from now on." I didn't answer his question directly. Charles was alert. I couldn't put William in danger.
