Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 434

Caroline's POV:

I had just arrived at the gate of the Moore mansion when Charles called me.

James opened the door with a beaming smile.

But what I saw next disappointed me. Raina was hugging Charles. The scene in front of me brought a pang to my heart.

How could he fool around with that woman while talking to me on the phone?

Was this why he did not want me to come to the Moore mansion today? He did not want me to disturb them, did he?

My gaze fell on Raina.

She raised her chin and smiled meaningfully.

To make things worse, the shirt she was wearing right now was the one I had bought for Charles when we were still together.

Thud.

My phone fell to the floor.

It was only then that I came to my senses. I immediately covered James's eyes so he would not see what was happening.

Then, with a bitter smile, I looked at Charles with an icy cold gaze.

"Excuse me." I picked up my phone, held James up, and brushed past Janet and Tracy, who were both in utter shock.

The emotions I had been bottling up felt like they were going to explode any second. Not wanting them to see that I was hurt, I strode out of the door without looking back.

All of a sudden, a pair of small hands touched my cheeks and wiped the corners of my eyes.

"Mommy, don't cry," James comforted me.

I stopped in my tracks and looked at him.

Then, I wiped my tears and forced a smile.

"Can you keep it a secret for me? I'm already an adult, but I still cry. It's embarrassing."

"Okay!" James grinned. The way his eyes curled when he smiled looked so adorable.

"Caroline!"

Charles's deep voice came from my behind. Before I could turn around, I felt his hand on my shoulder.

I suppressed all my emotions and looked at him indifferently.

"I'll visit the kids another day. Is there anything else you have to say?"

"Please don't jump to conclusions. The thing is, something had happened to Mom and the twins. Raina saved them in time, but she sustained some injuries. Mom insists on making Raina stay in the mansion until she recovers," Charles hurriedly explained.

My mind went blank when I heard that something had happened to them.

"What?! Did they get hurt?" I anxiously asked.

Charles stroked my arm comfortingly. "Don't worry. They're fine."

Despite his reassurance, I remained flustered and worried. "I want to see them."

James pursed his lips and chimed in, "I'll go with you!"

Charles nodded, picked up James, and pulled me into the house.

When we entered the mansion, Raina was in the living room.

She opened her mouth to speak, but I just brushed past her.

I went straight to the stairs, not in the mood to talk to her.

When we reached the second flight of the stairs, James pointed the way for me. "Their room is on the right!"

But just as I was about to push the door open, Alice grabbed my wrist. "Scarlett, how dare you show up here? You're an incompetent mother. You don't deserve to see the twins!"

"I heard what had happened today. I just want to see if they're fine," I reasoned out.

Chloe, who was standing behind Alice, looked at me with narrowed eyes and said crossly, "You're Caroline, not Scarlett. The kids have nothing to do with you. What right do you have to see them?"

I was too anxious about my twins' condition to argue with these two.

"Don't bully my mommy!" James shouted at Alice and Chloe. I felt proud to have a son who would stand up for me.

"Stop it. Let her in!"

Christine's voice came to our ears.

My heart tightened in my chest.

I turned around and saw Christine leaning against the wall for support and looking at us. Her skin was as pale as a sheet. She did not look so well.

I could not help worrying about her.

Alice did not seem to notice that something was wrong with Christine.

She looked into my eyes and firmly said, "No. I'll only let you in if you admit that you're Scarlett. Otherwise, you're just a stranger to us. How could we let you get close to the children when we don't even know who you are?"

I was at a loss for words.

Could I really see my children as long as I admitted that I was Scarlett?

But...

"That's enough, Alice."

Lawrence walked over and shot Alice a warning look. Then, he turned to me and said, "I can assure you that Jason and Jerry are safe and sound. You can visit them some other time. I'm afraid today isn't the right time to do so."

I clenched my fists in anger and frustration. My mind was a mess, like the chaos after the storm.

In the end, I held back my surging emotions and politely replied, "Of course. I'll see the kids next time."

Lawrence nodded. "You should go now,"

I nodded at Christine as a sign of respect and walked down the stairs.

Charles, who was standing by the railing and holding James in his arms, stared at me with an inexplicable expression.

"Caroline, I'm sorry. I didn't expect that things would turn out like this."

"Don't worry. I have." I forced a smile and cast a meaningful look at him.

Just as I took a step, I felt someone tugged the hem of my clothes.

I turned around and met James's tearful eyes.

"Mommy, don't go. Stay with me and my brothers. Please?" he pleaded.

I stroked his face with love and affection and kissed him on the forehead.

"I'll take you with me soon, then we'll be together all the time," I loudly said for everyone to hear.

Charles stared at me in awe, and I stared back at him.

"No way!" Alice roared.
