Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 402

Charles's POV:

I was deeply immersed in my work when I heard a commotion outside.

Then, the door to my office slammed open, and Chloe marched in with smoke coming out of her ears and nostrils.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Moore. I told Miss Moore that you were busy, but she insisted on coming in," Amy apologized, looking embarrassed.

I rubbed my temples and nodded at Amy, "Don't worry about it. I got it from here. You may go." "Thank you, Mr. Moore," Amy sighed in relief, hurried out, and shut the door behind her.

Chloe walked over and took a seat across from me. Then, she snapped, "Why did you block Raina?"

"You barreled through my office door just to ask me that?" I glanced at her indifferently.

Chloe flinched for a second and then said, "Are you still thinking about that bane of a woman?"

"Watch your mouth, Chloe."

I looked her straight in the eye, failing to hide the anger in my voice.

"Charles, it's been a year. It's time for you to move on. You were not happy when you were with Scarlett, so your subconscious chose to forget the memories that you had with her. Why are you still pining after her? She won't even admit to you that she's your wife. Besides, many other men are after her now. In my opinion, whatever feelings she had for you died out when she disappeared on you."

Chloe became more and more emotional as she spoke that she couldn't help standing up.

"Scarlett isn't just some ex-girlfriend to me, Chloe. We have three children together. We have a family, and I will stop at nothing to bring that family back together."

I spoke firmly, but deep in my heart, I didn't have the confidence. Part of me knew that what Chloe said was true.

"Oh, come on, Charles! Wake up! That woman isn't worth your love and affection anymore. Just focus on those who are actually in love with you, like Raina."

Chloe was still persevering to make a match between me and Raina. It seemed that she had been completely brainwashed by that woman.

Raina was not someone to be taken lightly. I hated people who schemed against my family, and she was one of those people.

"You still haven't taken my word seriously, have you? Raina is not a good person, Chloe. She's evil and manipulative, and you should be able to see through all that. You're a grownup, and you should be careful who you befriend," I persuaded her earnestly.

"You're prejudiced against Raina, Charles. She's deeply and sincerely in love with you, and unlike Scarlett, she's willing to do anything for you." Chloe kept making Raina's case and added, "Back when you two haven't divorced yet, Scarlett asked her lover William to prepare a helicopter and planned to elope with him. Don't you remember that?"

When I heard the name William, I felt inexplicably uncomfortable as if someone pierced my heart with a thousand needles.

"William? William who?" I asked with a frown.

"William Stevens."

Chloe's expression and tone revealed her disgust for the man.

I searched my memory diligently but came up empty. I couldn't remember someone named William Stevens at all. Even Richard never mentioned him to me.

Suddenly, I felt upset. I didn't like being kept in the dark, especially about things that involved my wife.

"Go home, Chloe. I have a lot of stuff to deal with today. Next time, don't bother me at work with such trivial matters," I muttered, focusing on the files on my desk.

"But Raina..."

Chloe opened her mouth to say something, but I immediately interrupted her.

"Stop it! Never mention her name in front of me ever again, do you understand?"

Chloe grunted in dissatisfaction, but she didn't dare to disobey my orders. Finally, she turned around and stomped out of my office.

After she left, I collapsed on my swivel chair. The name William Stevens kept popping up in my mind.

Who was he?

I took out my phone and started looking him up. The search led me to a Wikipedia page about him. I stared at his photo, and something deep in my memory stirred. The first thing that I thought about after seeing his face was how awesome it would be to punch it.

I memorized his face and stored it in my mind.
