Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 425

Charles' POV:

As I hurried home, my heart was filled with worry for my son, Jason.

Until now, my clothes were still wet and they clung to my body, making me feel uncomfortable. The second I entered the living room, my mother, Alice, approached me.

Visibly surprised, she asked me, "Charles, where have you been? How did you end up like that?"

"It was raining and I forgot to bring an umbrella." I shrugged casually.

"Richard said that you left the company quite early today. Did you go see Caroline again?" asked my mother.

I pursed my lips and fell silent.

"Charles, haven't you had enough of this? She's done nothing but hurt you! It's time for you to move on with your life."

My mother frowned at me, visibly disappointed. "Mom, just go back and get some rest. I'll take care of Jason tonight."

After that slightly vexing exchange of words, I went back to my room with a sullen expression. Once I had closed the door, I sighed bitterly.

Between me and Caroline, she was the one who had gotten more hurt.

However, I was so selfish that I refused to set her free.

I was the one who had committed the most heinous crime.

After changing into a fresh set of clothes, I went to the twins' room.

Jason was having a fever and was sleeping restlessly.

I sat on the edge of the bed, quietly staring at his reddened face.

"Mommy."

Jason was talking in his sleep.

My heart ached for him. In a soft voice, I tried to comfort him. "Mommy will be back soon. Sleep now, my good boy."

Soon, Jason fell asleep.

I gently tucked him in and stayed at his bedside the entire night.

It wasn't until dawn that Jason's temperature finally stabilized. Once I was certain he would be fine, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps because I had gotten wet in the rain and was unable to sleep for an entire night, my head began to ache again.

I stood up, wanting to go back to my room.

But the next second, I felt lightheaded and lost consciousness.

Scarlett's POV:

In the morning, I was awakened from my dreams because of the heavy rain outside the window.

I reluctantly got up from the bed, washed up, and went downstairs.

"Elena, how long has it been raining?" I asked.

"Since last night, I guess?" she replied.

"Huh... no wonder I fell asleep early last night." I watched the heavy downpour of rain outside the window and let out a sigh.

In all honesty, I regretted bringing Simon home yesterday the second I did it.

I shouldn't have used him to piss Charles off.

Now that I looked back on it, I realized how childish I was yesterday and how selfish I was being.

Elena nodded at me and smiled. Afterwards, she put the breakfast she cooked on the table.

Even after we finished eating breakfast, the rain didn't ease off.

"It's raining really hard. I won't be going to the company today. Elena, I've review the project information before I went to bed last night. Help me send them back to the team. If some of the employees couldn't make it to the company because of the downpour, tell them they can work from home today," I ordered.

"Got it. I'll inform them at once."

Once Elena had left, I stood in front of the window, watching the rain pour nonstop.

Thunder boomed down from the sky and fell to the ground.

Somehow, it made me feel uneasy and irritable.

It made me feel as though something bad was about to happen.

Before I could think on it, my phone on the table rang all of a sudden.
