Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 87

Charles's POV:

"Scarlett, I'm going to get you some soup, okay? You should have some so that you can take your medication. Then, you can go back to sleep," I whispered in her ear.

"But I want to sleep," Scarlett pouted and said in a daze.

"You can sleep after you've taken your pills."

I stroked her hair and then went to the kitchen to get her some soup. When I came back to the bedroom, Scarlett had already gotten up. She was leaning against the headboard and staring into space.

"Let me feed you," I said and carefully picked up the bowl.

She narrowed her eyes at me and retorted, "I can feed myself."

"No. You're still weak. You'll just spill this hot soup all over yourself and get hurt," I backfired and avoided her touch.

"Fine," she mumbled and finally let me feed her. After Scarlett finished the soup, I helped her take her medication. I could not help smiling while watching her trying to down her pills. She had always hated taking any sort of medication since we were children. Apparently, she had not outgrown it.

"Are you going to sue me with the help of Nina's father?" I tried to get some useful information from her.

Scarlett took a sip of water and glanced at me with clear eyes. She pursed her lips and did not say anything. It seemed that she would never tell me anything no matter how hard I tried.

"Forget it. I'm not that curious." I heaved a sigh and then asked her, "Where do I sleep tonight?" "You sleep here, and I will sleep in the guestroom," Scarlett answered.

"Very well, but don't blame me if I sleepwalk to the guest room tonight," I chuckled, and she shot me a death glare. She looked particularly cute when she was annoyed by my little quips.

She rolled her eyes, slid out of bed, and walked to the wardrobe. She muttered, "His woman's pregnant and he wants to sleepwalk into another woman's bedroom."

"Can you speak up? I won't be mad at whatever it is you're saying."

She turned her head and squinted at me like a threatened cat. She repeated in a loud voice, "Your woman is pregnant and you want to sleepwalk into another woman's bedroom. Can you be more shameless and inconsiderate? Honestly, Charles, you've already got Rita. Why are you still pestering me?"

"Like I already told you, Rita's pregnancy has nothing to do with me. I've been denying it since it came up. Why can't you believe me?" I explained to her again. To be honest, I was getting a little tired of telling her my side of the story. It was like she had not heard anything I had been saying.

"Then who else could've gotten her pregnant? Everyone knows that you and Rita are a couple, and I'm the nuisance that's standing in the way of your dream life. Just let me go already so that you can live happily ever after with the mother of your child," Scarlett snapped, her eyes reddening with frustration.

"Well, it is possible that Rita has been sleeping with another man because I've been ignoring her. I've told you that I've never climbed into bed with her. You're the only one in my heart. Can't you see how insane I'm going because I love you so damn much? In fact, I'll come out tomorrow and announce our marriage." All the pent-up rage and frustration that I had been keeping a lid on for the past few days finally burst out of me like water out of a broken pipe.

"Enough! You're not going anywhere and announcing anything."

With a fresh pair of pajamas in hand, Scarlett flashed me a panicked look.

I approached her and reached out to touch her, but she backed away, went into the bathroom, and shut the door behind her.
