Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 354

Scarlett's POV:

"Calm down. If you suddenly had a heart attack because of me, how the hell would I explain that to Abner? Don't worry. I've been soaking my feet with hot water. Besides, as soon as the filming is over, I change into thick clothes right away. I'll get better soon," I assured Nina.

My assurance, however, did not dispel Nina's disappointment.

"You're an idiot. Charles is your husband, not an ornament."

"Nina, I live in his house, and he pays for the children's expenses. How else do you think I can afford this golf club?"

"Really?"

"Yes! Charles even pays for the kids' and my meal every day."

Nina smiled with satisfaction.

"Very good. You should spend his money!"

I breathed a sigh of relief. At last, Nina had finally stopped goading me into spending Charles's wealth. But just when I thought that conversation about Charles was over, she asked me another question about him again.

"By the way, Scarlett, have you talked to Charles recently?"

"No," I briefly answered.

Charles and I had not talked nor seen each other since he left last time.

Nina's eyes widened in disbelief. "No? Shouldn't married couples talk with each other? Aren't the kids supposed to be a lubricant in their parent's relationship?"

"A lubricant? What do you mean?"

"Doesn't Charles video chat with them? You know, this is the best time to make amends and improve your relationship!"

"We don't need to video chat. The bodyguards live with me. If Charles wants to know what I'm doing, he can just ask them."

All of a sudden, Nina's mouth fell open as something dawned on her. "Wait a minute. Did you two have a fight?"

The memory of Charles walking away without a word crossed my mind. Even so, I shook my head to deny the truth.

"No."

Who knew what was Charles was thinking at that time? He was just fooling around with me when, suddenly, he left.

At this moment, his strange question before we parted that night popped into my mind.

It was only now that I understood what he meant.

He must be pertaining to the time when I was in Kitsap.

How could I have informed him of my pregnancy?

I resented him at that time.

On my way back to the TV station, I was lost in thought.

I could not help but reminisce about the moments when Charles and I were happy. But now, we were miserable.

Did he ever love me?

Did he love our children?

If so, how much did he love us?

"Scarlett, Nancy is here."

We had just reached home when I heard Janet's caution. I immediately looked out of the car.

Sure enough, Nancy was by the entrance, seemingly waiting for someone.

At this moment, Nancy walked over and greeted me.

"Hi, Scarlett."

She even reached out to support me as I got out of the car.

Although I clearly saw her outstretched hand, I deliberately left it hanging. "Miss Wood, what brings you here at this hour?" I asked with a faint smile.

Nancy glanced at the bodyguards behind me. "Scarlett, can we talk alone?"

I nodded in response. Then, with Nancy at my heels, I walked a little further away from the bodyguards.

Meanwhile, she looked at me with a grateful expression.

Once we were out of earshot, I went straight to the point. "What is it that you want to tell me?"

In all honesty, I did not want to be with Nancy. I could not stand her. But then again, I could not avoid her forever.

"Scarlett, I know you've been itching to divorce Charles. But now... have you given up?"

"I suppose so," I answered ambiguously.

I could feel that Nancy loved Charles with all her heart.

However, my blood boiled when I recalled the time when she forcefully picked up Jerry and made him cry.

"But why?" Nancy asked again.

She went as white as a sheet and kept fumbling with the hemline of her dress in apprehension.
