Chapter 236 Longing For Each Other


    Charles''s POV:


    Scarlett looked me up and down, raising her eyebrows at my pajamas. However, she said nothing


    about them.


    Her face was pure and innocent, her eyes exceedingly enchanting and charming. Even though I


    was with her almost every day, her beauty still fascinated me.


    I approached her and closed one arm around her soft waist, while the other hand snuck on her full


    chest. I said meaningfully to her in a low whisper, "I''ve taken a shower next door, Scarlett."


    However, Scarlett shoved my hands away and grabbed my arms instead, as if she was clueless to


    my hints.


    She suggested, "Let''s go downstairs to drink. We can eat something along the way."


    Her words made me froze, and I stood rooted to the spot. Scarlett, who had taken a step forward,


    was forced to stop in her tracks. She turned around and shot a sharp nce at me, annoyed. "What


    are you doing, Charles? Didn''t you ask me to drink with you at home? I agreed, but why are you still


    unhappy?"


    I hugged her and mumbled softly, "No, I''m not unhappy. I''m fine"


    I didn''t want to just drink at such precious time...


    I stared at her, my eyes filled with affection and eagerness. But the moment Scarlett''s gaze fell on


    me, I immediately put on an innocent look. "Let''s go downstairs."


    I warned myself again and again to take things slow and be patient. Otherwise, I might scare


    Scarlett away and render all my previous efforts vain. If I wanted to win her over, I needed a lot of


    patience.


    When we reached downstairs, Scarlett grabbed some red wine and goblets, and ced them on


    the table.


    Seeing her busying herself, I couldn''t help smiling. Then, I turned around and brought out the cream


    cake I had bought previously.


    "When did you buy that?" Scarlett asked, surprised.


    I put the cake on the table and took a seat beside her. "Before I picked you up, Tracy told me that


    you liked the cream cake I bought before."


    Scarlett red at me, though she looked quite flirtatious. "You have the nerve to say that!"


    I knew she was referring to the conflict we had back then.


    "I didn''t mean to upset you at that time. I promise I won''t do that again." I closed our distance, and


    licked her tender red lips gently.


    Scarlett blushed instantly, her appearance so cute and adorable.


    I saw that she was going to be angry again, so I quickly let go of her and stood up. "Let me cut the


    cake for you."


    I grabbed a knife and cut the cake into neat pieces. Then, I put one piece in front of Scarlett and


    handed her a dessert fork.


    Scarlett took the fork eagerly and scooped one bite of the cake. Her eyes curved like crescent


    moons as she relished in the taste. "Yummy!" "Let me have a taste." I leaned over to grab a small


    bit of the remaining cake that was still on her fork.


    Looking up, I realized that there was still some cream on the corner of Scarlett''s mouth. She was


    staring at me dazedly, stunned by my actions.


    Unable to help myself, I let out a smallugh before kissing her lips. As I did so, the cream on the tip


    of my tongue melted.


    I whispered in a hoarse voice, "So sweet."


    Scarlett''s ears turned red instantly. She pushed me away, embarrassed, and yelled, "Just drink your


    wine!"


    "Okay." I sat back calmly, grabbed some wine, and clinked sses with her.


    Scarlett nced at me briefly before looking away immediately and gulping down the wine in her


    ss.


    I raised my eyebrows and snickered to myself. I had no intention to stop her at all.


    "We won''t go back to Moore mansion today. What about James?" Scarlett poured more wine into


    her ss, but she didn''t let go of the wine bottle. Instead, she looked at me questioningly with her


    head tilted slightly.


    "Don''t worry. Mom and Grandma are there," Iforted her softly, hoping to reassure her.


    However, she replied with a frown. I had no choice but to take out my phone. I opened an app


    before giving it to her. "This is the real time surveince video of the nursery. Do you want to see it?


    See? James is sleeping."


    "Wow! I can''t believe you can check that on your phone!" Astonished, Scarlett took my phone and


    glued her eyes on the screen with a happy smile. "Oh my god! My son is so cute even when he''s


    sleeping!"


    "That''s because he inherited the best genes from us."

    "God, you''re so smug." Scarlett shed me a small smile and held my hand, trying to please me.


    "Let''s go backter. I can''t sleep well if I don''t hug James before going to bed."


    I turned her hand over and slowly separated her fingers, and then interlocked my fingers with hers


    lovingly. "Okay."


    Though I agreed on the outside, deep inside my heart, I was unwilling to go home.


    Every time we returned to the mansion, James would sleep between Scarlett and me. I could never


    be intimate with Scarlett. Only when Scarlett was fast asleep could I put James back to the crib and


    sleep with Scarlett in my arms.


    If Scarlett couldn''t fall asleep without James, then I couldn''t fall asleep without Scarlett.


    But at the sight of her expectant expression, my heart softened and I found myself agreeing


    automatically.


    After several rounds of drinking, the wine in the bottle was almost finished.


    I poured the rest of the red wine into my ss and gulped it down in one fell swoop.


    "Scarlett, I''m done. We should do somethingelse." I stared at Scarlett deeply, my eyes brimming


    with affection.


    She blushed automatically, and staggered to her feet, the cream cake in hand.


    "Careful!" Worried that she would fall down, I went to her and held her in my arms.


    However, Scarlett pushed me away, looking hesitant. She then walked to a cab and stored the


    cream cake in it. She muttered, "We have to hide the treasure."


    I burst outughing. She was drunk! I approached her gently and held her hand. "It''s time to sleep."


    Scarlett stared at me for a while, her eyes dazed from the wine. Suddenly, she pulled me to the


    cab and tried to stuff me inside it.


    She murmured again, "We have to hide the treasure."


    Stunned by this unexpected gesture, I took to staring at Scarlett like a fool.


    After a long time, I finally found my tongue. However, my voice was extremely hoarse. "Scarlett, am


    I your treasure too?"


    "What?" Scarlett looked at me in confusion, her hands still tugging me.


    Unable to stand it anymore, I picked her up and marched eagerly to the bedroom.


    Scarlett''s POV:


    My mind was in a mess, and I couldn''t think straight. I could only see Charles''s handsome face,


    inches away from me.


    Bang! It sounded as if the door of the bedroom was kicked open hastily. When I looked back, my


    head hazy with confusion, Charles put me on the bed and started kissing me.


    The sudden kiss snapped my eyes wide open, but I was too numbed by alcohol and had no


    strength to resist. I slowly closed my eyes, and meekly reached out to him before wrapping my arms


    around his neck.


    Charles tightened his arms around my waist, as if wanting our bodies to be one.


    He soon let go of my lips, and exhaled a puff of hot air. "Scarlett... Let''s have a good time."


    I didn''t answer, but raised my head and kissed him instead.


    Charles responded fiercely, and the kiss gradually went out of control. The tip of his tongue pressed


    against my teeth, overbearing and aggressive, invading my mouth inch by inch.


    His passionate kiss almost took away all the air in my mouth, pushing me to the verge of


    suffocation.


    "C-Charles..."


    When I reopened my eyes, I realized that Charles had taken off our pajamas and had thrown them


    away.


    We hugged each other tightly with our bare bodies.


    His lips went down along my neck, and his tongue licked my skin and breasts. The blood in his body


    boiled and burned like hot fire. Excited, I couldn''t help but touch his hot skin.


    He locked me in his embrace, forcing us to stay close to each other. The scorching heat instantly


    merged with the mes in my body, and I let out a soft moan of pleasure.


    My moans ignited the fire in him more fiercely. He suddenly lifted up my waist, and pressed hard


    against me. In an instant, the weight of his body was shifted on mepletely.


    Charles gasped for breath, the sound highly stimting.


    He bit and sucked my tender breasts, arousing my desires. I couldn''t help but respond, and neared


    my lips to his.


    For a long time, the whole room was filled with our sensual gasps...
