Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 72

Scarlett's POV:

Charles' touch completely distracted me.

I knew that he wanted to sleep with me.

I was madly in love with him, so I was unable to resist his touch at all. In fact, in my head, I had imagined us having sex so many times by now. However, now I felt like I was not ready.

And fortunately for me, he was not so crazy as to do it. Only when I saw him leave did I finally breathe a sigh of relief. Upon hearing the sound of water running in the bathroom, I figured that he was going to take a shower before he continued our romance. I quickly got up from the bed, tidied up my dress, and sneaked out of the house.

I decided to stay in a hotel for the night, thinking that he would leave on his own if he could not find me in the room when he got out of the bathroom.

I felt like it was ridiculous for me to run away from my own house in order to avoid sleeping with a man. And yet, I still did not know how to face him.

As soon as I left the building, I heard a familiar voice coming from behind me.

"Where are you going, Scarlett?"

I turned around in a hurry, and saw Charles walking towards me.

"How... How could you wash up so fast?" I stammered in nervousness.

"I can guess what you were thinking about. You ran away from home trying to avoid me, didn't you?" Charles bantered with me. The closer he got to me, the weaker my knees felt. I could not help taking a step back, trying to avoid his masculine scent.

"No, I didn't run away. That's my home! Why would I do such a thing? I just came out to buy some groceries." I raised my head, in an attempt to look and sound more confident.

"Okay, then. I'll go with you," Charles said flatly.

Whenever I was with him, I would always end up putting myself in a sticky situation.

Although I was angry, I could not show it. All I could do was pretend like I was calm as I walked to the nearby supermarket.

And Charles followed me closely. His tall and handsome appearance caught a lot of attention. However, I had no choice but to ignore him.

Before entering the supermarket, a gust of cold wind blew, which caused me to shiver and put my hands in my pockets.

"Use my hand, instead."

When I was not expecting it, he pulled my hand out from my pocket and held it. His hands were dry and warm as they completely wrapped my palm.

"Charles! Don't do this to me! Are you seriously that eager to sleep with me?" I couldn't stand it anymore, and my heart was racing.

"Yes, I am,"

he replied in a very calm voice.

I felt like I had really underestimated his shamelessness.

Completely embarrassed, I tried to withdraw my hand from his.

"But I don't want to sleep with you. So can you let go of me?"

Even after trying for a while, I could not get rid of his hand that was gripping mine tightly.

"It's fine. I am not a monster, and I am not going to force you." Saying that, he gave me a graceful smile. But I thought that he was doing it on purpose, which infuriated me more.

"Aren't you a monster in a human form? How many times have you sneaked a kiss in the past few days? You even touched my chest. And you..." I would not have been able to speak of such things openly on a normal day, but now, I was angry, so I did not care.

"You are so cute, Scarlett!" Charles only chuckled and kissed my lips again, stopping me from complaining any further.

'No, I can't always let him be so insatiable.'

Annoyed and embarrassed, I bit my lip and tried to fight back.

"A very special kiss, indeed."

With smiling eyes, he finally let go of me.

Feeling powerless, I gave up on arguing with him. After all, I could never be as shameless as he was.

When we arrived at the supermarket, I randomly picked up some snacks and was about to pay, but...
