Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 76

Scarlett's POV:

"I wish you a happy night," Nina said with a meaningful look on her face. She then closed the door behind her, leaving me and Charles alone.

At that moment, Charles jolted me on his shoulder and advised in an evil tone, "Nobody can save you now, so be good."

"Charles, I swear if you don't put me down this instant, I will cut off my relationship with you!" I warned through gritted teeth.

"Wow. The little kitten has turned into a ferocious tiger."

Charles chuckled, and I felt his chest vibrate. My anger subsided all of a sudden.

I licked my lips and scoffed, "Are you scared?" "You're going to cut off ties with me. How can I not be scared?" Charles grumbled. Nevertheless, he did not put me down and carried me to the car.

"I can go home by myself. You don't have to drive me home."

I recalled that Charles mentioned he wanted to stay overnight in my place. I suddenly felt an urge to flee at the thought of this.

Charles must have sensed what I was thinking. He put his hands on my shoulders and threatened, "If you run away, we'll do 'it'."

I stiffened and stopped struggling at once. "I won't run. Just don't do it," I pleaded in a low voice.

As soon as I finished speaking, I realized that I was being ridiculous for talking to him like that. I should have snapped back at him and expressed my displeasure. Besides, it was vulgar to mention sex all the time. At the thought of this, I raised my head and stared daggers at him. I wanted to tell him with my eyes that I would never let him sleep with me all his life.

However, Charles did not seem to care. Without even looking at me, he kissed me on the forehead and went to the driver's seat.

"I'm tellingyou.whatyou're thinking won'twork."

I reminded him that he could never sleep with me, but he did not seem to hear me. Annoyed, I punched him on the shoulder. "Did you hear me?" All of a sudden, Charles moved close to me that his face was only an inch away from mine. "What-what are you doing?" I stammered.

"Nothing. I'm just helping you buckle up your seatbelt," Charles answered with a playful smile. A few seconds later, I heard an audible click on my side.

My face turned beet red. I averted my gaze in embarrassment, but I had no idea where to look. In a fit of panic, I pushed him away. "It's alright now. Thank you."

Neither of us said a word the entire ride. I just looked out of the window and ignored his presence. I hated to admit it, but I couldn't help but feel that Charles had affected me the way no one had done before.

Beep.

My phone beeped, indicating that I had received a message. I took my phone out of my bag and saw that it was a message from Nina.

"Honey, I can guarantee that Charles loves you."

I stared at her message for a few seconds. My mind was in a mess because of it. How could Charles love me? He never cared about anyone except Rita. Even if he really was interested in me, perhaps he was just attracted to my body. The sudden realization hit me that the one you couldn't have was always the best. Once Charles had me, he would soon lose his interest in me and become attracted to someone else, for sure. He would just throw me away like a used doll by then.

At that moment, Charles noticed that I was troubled about something. "What's wrong?" he asked with a frown.

I put my phone back in my bag and lied, "Nothing. I just read a joke." Fortunately, Charles did not ask another question.

We arrived at my apartment thirty minutes later.

Just as I was about to get off the car, Charles locked the door of the passenger seat. I looked at him warily, wondering what he was up to.
