Chapter 115 Anger


    Scarlett''s POV:


    "It has already happened. No matter how angry you feel right now, it can''t be undone," I said


    casually with a shrug of my shoulders. In fact, I didn''t care about her reaction at all.


    "No! Charles only came to you because he was mad at me for sleeping with Richard. Otherwise, he


    wouldn''t even look at you!" Rita shouted.


    I was stunned upon hearing that.


    "Is that baby actually Richard''s, then?" I couldn''t help but ask.


    "No." Rita denied it at once as though she was trying to cover up her guilt. She looked at me fiercely


    and added, "Leave Charles alone. He is mine."


    "You have already lost Charles, though." I waspletely indifferent and unfazed as I told her the


    truth.


    "Don''t think that you have a chance with Charles just because he slept with you. He doesn''t love


    you! He loves me, and he''s only doing things to get back at me. Once I apologize to him, he is going


    toe back to me, and you will get kicked out, just like what happened three years ago. You will


    always be just a substitute, a tool he uses to keep his family calm!" Rita shouted, seeming to be out


    of control.


    She then mmed the door and left with Richard.


    The noisy room instantly fell quiet. Sitting on the sofa, I could not help butugh, thinking of Rita''s


    entanglement with Charles over the past few years.


    I never thought that she would sleep with Richard, though. Even Charles had once told me that the


    child she was carrying was not his. ''Was he telling the truth at that time?''


    I thought of what had happened that night, and I realized that Charles had indeed been a little


    clumsy when he had sex with me.


    Feeling that I was making an excuse for Charles, I patted my head to stop thinking of him.


    The day after the program, Abner sent me to the airport.


    "Be careful, and send me a text once you arrive." Abner seemed to be worried as he reminded me.


    "Okay, you should go back now."


    After saying goodbye to him, I turned around and left. From the corner of my eye, I saw a familiar


    figure. I stopped and looked at the man, who was standing not too far away from me, and noticed


    that he was also looking at me. It was Charles.


    We didn''t walk towards each other, though. We just stood there, looking at each other through the


    crowd.


    All of a sudden, I noticed that he was about to lift his foot and walk towards me, when the boarding


    announcement was heard.


    I withdrew my sight and prepared to board. When I looked back again, Charles wasn''t there


    anymore. I despised myself, but at the same time, I also felt a little pathetic.


    I seemed to be expecting too much of him.


    Actually, there was no need for me to feel lost at all.


    After getting on the ne, I could not help but recall the three years I had spent abroad, studying.


    Thinking of that time, I felt that I had been too humble back then. I was tired, and I did not want to


    be the weak one in our unfair rtionship. I didn''t want to continue loving him so humbly.


    As soon as I arrived at the residence, Nina asked me excitedly, "Did you meet Charles?"


    There was a look of curiosity in her eyes.


    "I met him at the airport," I answered honestly. However, whenever I mentioned him, my heart


    ached.


    "If you met him at the airport, why did youe back so soon? I thought you would stay there for a


    few days." Nina frowned in confusion.


    "He didn''t speak to me, so I also kept silent. We just nced at each other, and then I boarded the


    ne." I sighed, feeling exhausted, physically and mentally.


    "He didn''t ask you to stay? He didn''t even talk to you?" Nina''s eyes went wide with surprise.


    "No, he said nothing." With a bitter smile on my lips, I nced out of the window with tears in my


    eyes.


    "He came all the way to see you, so I thought he would have a lot to say. I''ve never seen Charles


    being such a mess before." Nina sighed with regret.


    "After we divorce, I want to have a real romantic rtionship!" The bitter smile did not leave my lips


    as I tried to wipe away my tears.


    "Really? Looks like you''ve finally figured it out. I''ll find you a handsome man, don''t worry." Feeling


    happy again, Nina began to browse her contacts for her male friends.


    I could not help but feel helpless when I saw her like that, but deep down, I knew that it was


    probably the right choice to make. I had to divorce Charles, and I could not let him be the


    center of my universe again.


    I was going to start a new life, so it would be helpful for me to have some new friends.


    "Don''t frown. I will take you to a bar to help you rx a little, okay?" Nina proposed excitedly.


    After thinking for a while, I nodded.


    Charles'' POV:


    "Celebrity hostess is having fun abroad!"


    "Mrs. Moore can''t seem to stand loneliness. She is partying with a gigolo in the bar!"


    Reading click-bait headlines and looking at the pictures of Scarlett and Nina having fun in a bar, I


    couldn''t help but feel angry.


    I mmed my phone on the table, forcing myself not to pay attention to any news about Scarlett.


    However, I could not help myself.


    Recalling Scarlett''s cold gaze when I met her at the airport the other day, I felt like someone had


    stabbed my heart with a knife, and I was also furious.


    Was I really that unendurable in her eyes that she even didn''t have the desire to talk to me?


    She had turned around and left as soon as she had seen me that day.


    Did she really hate me that much?


    The exhaustion of travel, and the anger from being ignored by her was tormenting me, slowly eating


    my brains away.


    I massaged my temples, trying to calm myself down. However, I realized that whenever it was about


    Scarlett, I was not able to calm down at all. Leaning against the chair, I tried to rest my eyes for a


    bit. Not long after, Amy called the inte line and told me that Spencer hade to see me.


    As soon as I straightened myself up, Spencer pushed the door open and entered my office.


    "I''m going abroad. Would you like me to bring you something when Ie back or would you like


    me to give Scarlett a message?"


    "No!" I said in a cold voice, looking at him.


    "You look so depressed. Do you break up with your girlfriend?"


    I red at him.


    "Sorry, it was a slip of the tongue. I know that you two are not in love. Oh, no! Did Scarlett abandon


    you? What a poor guy!"


    He was really annoying.


    "Fuck off!" I snapped, ring at him before I ignored him.


    "I think you''re angry because deep down you''re embarrassed, because I''m telling the truth."


    Spencer was bing more unscrupulous instead of restraining himself.


    "Mr. Moore, your signature is required." Amy walked in with a document in her hand. I took it from


    her and studied it. However, I could not stop thinking about Scarlett at all, which upset me.


    I looked down and noticed that I signed Scarlett''s name on the document instead of mine own.


    "I must tell Scarlett that someone was absentminded when working and signed her name on the


    document," Spencer said with a smile when he noticed her name on the document.


    "If you dare to say anything more, then I would not mind letting you rot abroad for a much longer


    time," I threatened him coldly.


    "Fine, I won''t tell her. I don''t want to leave you. I''m going now. You keep missing Scarlett. I don''t


    want to disturb you." Spencer waved to me with a smile and left my office.


    "Print another copy of this for me," I ordered Amy indifferently.


    "Okay." She left after giving me a respectful nod.


    Looking at Scarlett''s name on the document, I traced my fingers over it.


    "Scarlett... Scarlett..." I mumbled to myself. Every time I thought of her, my heart ached.


    At that moment, my phone rang. It was a call from Richard. I hesitated for a while before I answered


    it.


    "Rita wants to see you." Richard''s voice came from the other end of the line.


    "I am not going to see her." I was in a bad mood, and I did not want to deal with them.


    But just a momentter, I heard Rita crying over the phone.


    "Could you pleasee and see her?" Richard pleaded.


    "I already told you that I won''t see her. If she still doesn''t give up, then I will publicly announce who


    the real father of her child is," I said bluntly, leaving no room for negotiation.


    "I''m going to have an abortion!" Rita roared over the phone as soon as I said those words.


    "Rita, don''t be impulsive. You are too emotional now, and it is not good for the baby." Richard


    stopped her, coaxing her in a gentle voice.


    However, Rita continued to shout, unlike the person I remembered her to be.


    "Keep Rita under control. I will repay her kindness since I owe her, but if she continues to pester


    me, I won''t show mercy to her!" I said coldly and hung up the phone.N?velDrama.Org content rights.
