Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 67

Charles' POV:

After saying goodbye to my grandma, I took Scarlett home.

Scarlett was silent throughout our way back home.

With my hands on the steering wheel, I could not help but tease her, "I'm afraid that all the employees at the company know that you are my wife now."

Upon hearing that, Scarlett turned around, glaring at me. There seemed to be a hint of complaint in her eyes as she asked, "Oh my God! Why do you have to mention that?"

"We are a couple, and I don't see why we should hide that from them," I replied casually.

"Stop kidding! You know we are not."

It was obviously not something that I wanted to hear, but I took a deep breath and stopped talking about it.

I couldn't be too anxious, after all. I was the one who sinned first. I wanted to make it up to her. I wanted her to believe me and accept me.

As soon as we got home, Scarlett washed her hands, and rushed into the kitchen, trying to avoid me.

I walked into the kitchen, leaned against the wall, and watched as she cooked.

She slightly leaned over the counter and began to chop the vegetables with a knife. Although her knife skills were not as remarkable as those chefs' on the cooking shows, there was an elegance in her style of holding the knife. And I believed that Muse could not be more attractive than Scarlett in the kitchen.

While she was absorbed in her cooking, the apron around her blue dress swayed, making her look quite charming.

"Scarlett, you look so adorable when you cook that even someone like Narcissus will be fascinated with you."

"You're unctuous!" She did not turn around, but I could clearly see that her ears were red.

Seeing that, I could not help but smile. I felt relaxed whenever she was around. I really hoped to have such days with her in the future.

While I was immersed in admiring her, my phone rang.

I saw the caller ID on the screen, and glanced at Scarlett. She seemed to be quite busy and did not want to talk to me at all.

So I walked to the living room, answering the call quietly.

"What's up, Rita?"

I was on the verge of losing my patience with Rita. Time and again, she would cry and beg for me to understand her, even though she would never consider my feelings.

"Charles! I can't believe what you did! How could you talk to my father like that?" Usually, Rita would start our calls with a crying voice, but it was different now.

It was evident that her father did not take my words seriously at all. In fact, he had quickly complained to his daughter, thinking that I had offended him.

"He has been harassing Scarlett, Rita. And I am just getting started. If you had not saved me, I would not have let him go so easily," I said in a calm voice.

"No, no, Charles... Didn't you say that you were divorcing Scarlett? My father is your future father-in-law. How could you disrespect him so blindly?" Rita's voice was choked with sobs. I could almost imagine the tears in her eyes, because I had already seen them a million times by now. However, I found it strange that I did not feel pity for her as I had before.

"Yes, I was," I said coldly.

"Charles? What do you mean by that? Why do you keep defending your ex-wife so much?" Rita raised her voice.

Annoyed, I just hung up the phone. I did not expect her to be so insatiable.

Looking at the phone screen, I couldn't help but frown. I had not thought that she would have such a side to her. It was obviously her father who was in the wrong, but instead of feeling guilty, she was taking his side.
