Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 356

Scarlett's POV:

I did not return to the Moore mansion until it was around eight o'clock in the evening.

Alice happened to come out of the children's room when I arrived. "The twins are asleep. James is in the master bedroom."

"Thank you. I'll still go in and check on them."

I went to see the twins first. When I saw that they were sleeping soundly, I proceeded to the master bedroom.

Just as I was about to open the door, I suddenly realized that Charles might be inside.

On second thought, he should be on a business trip right now. He would not come home so soon, would he?

I tried to comfort myself.

But the moment I opened the door, I froze on the spot.

Charles had come back earlier than I had anticipated.

Did he not say he would be back on Christmas?

Why did he always come back early?

In the room, James, who was sitting on the bed, turned his head when he heard the door open.

"Mommy!" he shouted excitedly.

Then, he crawled toward me as fast as he could. He must have missed me so much.

But before he could get to me, Charles bent over and scooped James up.

"What? Aren't you going to greet your husband and son?" he asked with a cunning smile.

As he spoke, he sat on the bed, revealing his long legs underneath his nightgown.

Embarrassed, I looked away with a red face.

"When did you come back?"

"In the afternoon," Charles replied while staring at me with a smile.

As I just stood there, James tried to get out of Charles's arms to go to me instead. When he realized that that would not work, he opened his arms to me.

"Mommy! Daddy, let go of me!" he cried out.

How could I refuse my son's imploring eyes?

So even though I was reluctant, I walked into the room and took James over.

But as I did so, I accidentally touched Charles's arm.

My face turned red when I felt his skin that was hot to the touch.

I looked up at Charles, and sure enough, his eyes were burning with lust. Before he even thought of making a move, I hurriedly held James and kept a distance from Charles.

"James, did you miss Mom? Come on. Kiss Mommy."

"I missed Mommy so much!" James threw himself in my arms and kissed me several times on the face endearingly.

When he saw how happy his kisses made me, he

kissed me a few more times.

I hugged James tighter, and the fatigue and exhaustion in my body after a whole day's work disappeared in an instant.

"Don't move!" Charles suddenly stood up and wiped my face with a tissue.

I frowned and took a step back in displeasure. "What are you doing?"

Why did he touch me all of a sudden?

"The saliva is full of bacteria. I'm just helping you clean your face."

I was at a loss for words. Nevertheless, I leaned back and avoided his hand.

"I'll sleep with James in another room."

Charles threw the tissue into the trash can and impatiently asked, "Which room?"

"Of course, the children's room."

With a snort, I turned around to leave the room with James.

I did not want to stay another second in the same room as Charles.

"James sleeps with me tonight." Charles took James out of my arms with a frown.

He looked so serious and adamant about staying with James.

Well, he was on a business trip for quite a while, so he must have missed his child very much. With that, I let go of James and nodded in agreement.

"Okay then. I'll sleep in the guest room."

But before I could take another step, Charles suddenly stopped me. "Scarlett, let's talk." "Scarlett!" James echoed when he heard Charles call my name.

I was stunned.

Meanwhile, a frown tugged at Charles's mouth. At this moment, he put James on the bed so we could talk. But then, the little boy called Charles something that made his hackles rise.

"Charles, bad guy!"

With his teeth gritted in anger, Charles turned to look at me and asked, "Scarlett, do you often speak ill of me in front of the kids?"
