Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 99

Charles' POV:

"Charles, what are you even talking about? Scarlett is family. If we don't support her, who will? Besides, Nate came to our house to make trouble. If we keep silent, then how was that fair to Scarlett?" Grandma scolded me.

"Yes, Scarlett is your wife. Even if you don't help her, you shouldn't make such sarcastic remarks!" My mom also glared at me.

I rubbed my temples irritably as I argued, "Who is the heir of this family? Why aren't you defending me?"

"It is because you are the heir that we have to discipline you. Men in the Moore family have always loved their wives. You are the only weirdo here." Grandma picked up the teacup and snorted.

'But I do love my wife! She's the one that doesn't take my feelings seriously.' Since I could not defend myself now, I had no choice but to keep quiet.

"Scarlett is such a good girl. If you don't cherish her now, then you will regret it later. But if you can't change yourself, then you should at least be a decent man and divorce her." My mom continued to nag me.

"But if you do choose to divorce her, then the doors of this house will not open for you again,

Charles," Grandma threatened.

I cast a resentful glance at the culprit, only to find that she was also looking at me.

She seemed to be very happy to see me being targeted by my family, because she was smiling brightly. I looked away, but my heart was racing and I could not calm down even after a long time. I was not in the mood to listen to Grandma and my mom's nagging anymore. Scarlett's smile was the only thing on my mind.

All of a sudden, I felt like the entire room was silent, and when I came back to my senses, I noticed the elders staring at me.

I touched my nose and sat up straight. I was so lost in thought that I didn't even notice what they were talking about.

"Why did you stop? Please, continue. Don't keep staring at me. Is there something on my face?" I cleared my throat and broke the silence.

"Try to be serious and don't turn a deaf ear to our words." After a moment's glance at me, Grandma ignored me.

I didn't say anything to defend myself because I knew that it would be of no use at the moment. Besides, I was already a sinner in their eyes. To them, I was an unfaithful lover who must be nailed to the pillar of humiliation.

"When are you going to end your relationship with Rita? I don't believe that the child Rita is carrying is yours. Just sort out the mess quickly. Rita and her family are like chewing gum stuck to the shoe, gross and disgusting." My mother gave me a calm glance as she wanted to get a clear answer from me. Indeed, I had put off the matter for far too long, which was giving Rita and her family a chance to show their villainous sides.

Without replying to them immediately, I was silent for a moment before I turned to Scarlett. I noticed that she was also staring at me with her bright eyes, as though she was complaining that I lacked a sense of responsibility.

All of a sudden, a helpless feeling clouded my heart. She was still not believing me. And every time Rita was mentioned, Scarlett would be vigilant.

I withdrew my gaze and turned to the others. "Why did you ask me to come back today?"

"Nate said that you ruined his business, and he came here today to ask for an explanation," my father, who was silent until now finally spoke up.

"I didn't do any such thing." I leaned against the sofa, playing with my ring.

"I too believe that Charles would not have done such a thing." Scarlett spoke up for me hurriedly before she added in whispers, "Besides, he won't do such a thing for me."
