Chapter 37 I Won''t Sign It
Scarlett''s POV:
"Christine, why do you think of me like that? Charles and I really love each other. Is it wrong for us
to want to be together?" Rita burst into tears. People who didn''t know the truth might misunderstand
that Christine was trying to break up two love birds unreasonably.
"Christine, calm down. You need to take care of yourself." Michael looked at her with concern in his
eyes.
Christine took the watermelon slice from his hand and threw it at Rita''s face.
"Love? Do you really believe that? It''s just an excuse you found to separate them! Do you even
deserve to talk about love? You shameless woman! Do you even know what kind of a feeling that
is?"
"Why don''t I deserve love? Is it because I''m sick?" Rita burst into tears, her whole body trembling.
The watermelon juice mixed with her tears as it trickled down her face. "I respect you, because you
are Charles'' grandma, and an elder. But you can''t humiliate me like this!"
"You ruined their marriage. I have been polite enough until now. If it were someone else, they would
have stripped you naked, and thrown you on the streets. And when that happens, people would see
how shameless you truly are!" Christine was so furious to see Rita looking at her innocently that she
was almost out of breath.
She patted her chest to calm down before she pointed at Rita and continued, "How can you speak
with such confidence after you ruined their marriage? Charles has really spoiled you. Just get this
shameless bitch away from my face!" "Ma''am, please." The nurse walked up to Rita and asked her
to leave.
"Don''t be angry. You should take care of yourself. If you lose your temper, then you will only suffer
later," Michaelforted Christine, patting her on the back to help her breathe.
Rita looked at Charles as though she was asking for help, but hepletely ignored her. He was
only concerned about his grandmother.
"Charles, tell Christine that we really love each other," Rita pleaded with him.
"You should leave, Rita. Grandma is still sick. Don''t make her suffer."
"Charles..."
"Ma''am?" The nurse asked Rita to leave again. Seeing that Charles had no intention of helping her,
she had no choice but to leave.

After she left, Christine finally calmed down, held our marriage certificate, and smiled warmly.
Looking at her in such a state, I couldn''t help murmuring.
"You pretended to faint on purpose to stop us from getting divorced."
My voice was not loud, but both the elders had very sharp hearing. Christine began to groan as
soon as I uttered those words.
"Michael, I feel dizzy. What''s wrong with me?"
"Don''t worry. The doctor said that you will be fine once you''ve rested. Maybe it was the noise that
made you feel ufortable. Just rest for some time," Michael said at once.
He then looked at me and Charles, obviously asking us to step outside.
"Alright, Grandpa. Please take good care of Grandma. I have something important to do, so I''m
leaving."
In fact, Charles was the one who had something to do, but he asked me to go with him.
"The marriage certificate is still in Grandma''s hand," I said right before we walked into the elevator,
unwilling to give up.
"I have an important matter to deal with and it can''t be dyed."
"Then why didn''t you sign it when we were in thewyer''s office?" Divorce was just one step away,
but my hope was shattered once again.
Now that I had lost the marriage certificate, it would be impossible for me to divorce him.
"Scarlett, is this the way you treat your family? Didn''t you see Grandma fainting just because we
mentioned about the divorce?" Charles looked sideways as he cast a cold nce at me as though I
was a selfish bitch who did not care about my own family.
"But she is just pretending..." I exined guiltily. Charles was even more furious now. He walked up
to me and forced me to the corner of the elevator. "Scarlett, how could you say that Grandma, who
has always loved you, is pretending to faint and lying to you? How sad would she be if she heard
what you just said?" he roared, ring at me.
I stared back at him. I didn''t believe that he did not notice Christine acting. How could he lie through
his teeth so confidently?
However, I couldn''t argue with him about it now.
"This is all your fault. Why didn''t you sign it earlier?" "I could not have. It was not possible for me to
do it then." Charles dialed down his aggressiveness as he leaned against the wall with his hands in
his pockets. He seemed to be in a good mood. He did not seem like someone who lost his temper
just a moment ago.
"What?"
"I said I won''t sign it because if I did, then Grandpa would kill me!"
"Why didn''t I know that you were such a coward?"
"It''s called being smart."
I gave Charles a disdainful look. As soon as the elevator door opened, I walked out first.
"Tell me, what side of me do you like?" Charles asked as he caught up with me and grabbed my
hand.
I pouted and kept quiet. ring at him, I thought to myself that no matter what, I would never get
back with him.
Unexpectedly, Charles caressed my lips softly and teased, "You seem to be asking for a kiss from
me. Unfortunately, we are in a hospital and there are so many people around us, so I can''t fulfill
your wish right now." "When did I ask you for a kiss?" I became so furious that I had an urge to beat
him up right there.
He had always been so cold to everyone except for Rita, so why was he suddenly smooth-talking to
me?
The image I had of him in my mind changed all of a sudden.
"Alright, I won''t tease you anymore. Does your face still hurt?" Charles looked at my cheek where
Susan had pped me. I was not feeling any pain. I just felt like it was not appropriate for us to be
so close to each other at the moment.
"Don''t try to dodge." I tilted my head to the side, but he forced me to face him.
He tucked a strand of my hair behind my ears and observed carefully. "It''s healing. It won''t be
visible if you wear makeup."
"Can you let go of me now?"
"Sure." He let go of my face and then held my hand. "Don''t get me wrong, but I am taking part in a
program at your TV station, so I wanted to drop you off."
"You don''t have to, right? People will easily misunderstand it." After all, the media had just reported
that Charles and Rita were going to get married. Moreover, Rita''s wedding dress photo was also
leaked to the public.
And Susan had caused a scene about it at the TV station. If he showed up with me to the TV
station, then it would just be the evidence that people needed to use me of being the third-wheel
in their rtionship.
"Let them misunderstand us." Charles would not listen to me, no matter what I said. He pulled me
out of the hospital and pushed me into his car.
After getting in the car, he leaned over to fasten the seat belt for me. When I didn''t cooperate, he
gave me a death re.
The driver was right in front of us, so I did not want to fight with him. I just hoped to get to the TV
station quickly, so that I could be rid of him.
Soon, we arrived. Charles and I got off the car. I quickened my pace, trying to keep distance from
him to avoid gossip.
"Scarlett!" But the next second, I heard him calling my name loudly.
When I turned around and saw Charles standing by his car dressed in his signature suit, I could
only think of one word... Noble. However, when I recalled the way he had behaved in the hospital, I
felt like I was an idiot to associate him with such a quality.
"What''s wrong?" I asked him.
"You forgot something," he said with a smile.
I looked at him suspiciously as I approached him and asked, "What is it?"
"It''s right here. Come closer."
As soon as I walked up to him, he suddenly kissed me.
By the time I realized what had happened, he had already turned around and left. I could tell from
his brisk steps that he was very happy.
But I was so angry. At the same time, Nina and Abner walked towards me. Nina pointed at me in
shock then pointed at Charles.
"Scarlett, did you just..."
Abner''s expression darkened.
Looking at them, my heart started racing.
''Damn it! What a jerk he is! Why did he have to kiss me here in public?''
