Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 85

Scarlett's POV:

When I realized that Charles had fooled me, I was very upset. Just when I was about to push him away, he raised his hand and touched my forehead as he said in a nervous voice, "Scarlett, you seem to be burning up. Do you have a fever?" "Really? I don't know." Thinking that I was only feeling weak because Charles had scared me, I touched my forehead.

He gently put me on the bed and covered me with the blanket as he said, "Hold on a minute."

He then quickly walked to the living room, found a thermometer, and handed it to me. "Check your temperature."

Taking the thermometer from him, I pouted.

Charles glanced at me, and said, "You are an adult. Don't you know it when you are sick?"

I got up in a hurry and defended myself, "I thought that it was because of lack of sleep. I should be fine if I just rest for a while. Besides, you scared me with your inexplicable words this morning, so it's your fault."

Seeing that I was wronged, his expression softened. He reached out and rubbed my nose with a helpless look in his eyes as he said, "It's my fault, yes. Lie down and rest like a good girl."

Five minutes later, Charles took the thermometer, and his expression darkened when he saw the reading. "It's 102 degrees, Scarlett!

How can you not take care of yourself?"

I cleared my throat and hinted, "Maybe, I have been too worried lately, and that's what caused me to crack. If you want me to recover quickly, then you must cooperate with me. Like finding time to sign some documents."

"Just give it up. Since you are sick, I will take good care of you. As for the documents you want me to sign..." After a pause, Charles leaned closer and added, "Don't even think about it."

"How do you know what documents I am talking about?" I asked, looking at him innocently.

"It must be the divorce agreement, I am sure," Charles said lazily and stood up.

Frustrated, I closed my eyes, not wanting to talk to him anymore.

Charles tucked me in and seemed a little unhappy. He said to himself, "It's me who got hurt on my forehead, but no one takes care of me. On the contrary, I have to take care of you." I slowly opened my eyes and cast a glance at him. "This is a punishment for your neglect."

"That's nonsense," Charles retorted helplessly. He then covered my eyes with his palm and continued in a soft voice, "Get some rest. I'm going to prepare breakfast."

Feeling the warmth of his hand, I said dryly, "You can go to work now. I'm fine on my own."

"Don't keep trying to drive me away. Right now, the only priority I have is to take care of my wife. Nothing is more important to me than you." There was a hint of flirtation in his voice.

"Shame on you." I could not help but blush at his

words.

"I like it better when you're on me," he added, continuing to be the cheeky devil.

I pursed my lips and closed my eyes, ignoring him.

While Charles went to the kitchen, I sat up, and called Nina, asking her to come over.

I was not sure how long I waited for her to show up, and just when my eyelids started to feel heavy, I heard the doorbell.

I got out of bed and was about to open the door for Nina, but Charles got to it before I could.

"Hi, Charles. What a surprise! You are here too." Nina gave him an awkward greeting as she was also not expecting him to be there.

Charles raised his eyebrows and glanced at me with a meaningful look in his eyes.
