Chapter 331 No One Can Take Her Away From Me
Chapter 331 No One Can Take Her Away From Me
Charles' POV:
Alas, I could not get Scarlett to talk to me.
Disappointed, I walked out of the ward and met Spencer, David, and Icey, who came to meet Scarlett.
Icey walked into the ward to keep Scarlett company while the rest of us stood outside and talked.
"Charles, look at Scarlett. Do you even take care of her? Why does she keep growing weaker by the day?" Spencer complained.
David nodded in agreement.
"I think Spencer is right. You have to persuade Scarlett to forgive you this time. If you fail to do so, then your relationship is definitely doomed for good."
"Do you guys really think that I am not trying? I've tried everything. I have let her beat me to vent her anger, and I have also tried to tempt her with the kids, but she doesn't even want to budge. As long as she is willing to forgive me, I will even kneel before her and beg, but she just wants to take the kids and leave. What am I supposed to do?"
I held my head dejectedly, the feeling of powerlessness engulfing my heart.
Why did things become so miserable?
Perhaps, Tracy had been right, and if I had not let William take Scarlett away back then, then maybe things would not have come to such a complicated state.
For the sake of the children, she might not have focused on hating me. Perhaps, there would have been a chance for us to turn things around.
But unfortunately, I missed it. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Charles, I have to remind you about one thing. If Scarlett continues to be so stressed, then it will only bring more harm to her than good."
My heart was a mess and I could not find a solution, so I fell silent.
"By the way, what happened to you that day? I heard that you used a knife?" Spencer asked in a cold voice.
Recalling that day, I felt a sharp pain in my heart.
I realized how crazy I must have been that day.
If I had been sane, I would not have done such a horrible thing to her.
I had asked her to kill herself, and I had told her that I had never loved her.
It was no wonder that she would not forgive me no matter how hard I tried now. I only had myself to blame.
I closed my eyes with a bitter smile to cover up the despair that was about to ooze out of my heart.
"I really don't understand why a couple that's in love would hate each other so much! What is even going on between the two of you?" There was a hint of regret and confusion in Spencer's tone.
I did not know how to answer his question, but there was one thought in my mind.
"I just know that I am not going to let her leave me again."
"Remember not to pressure her too much. Just take care other, okay?"
"I will."
Spencer sneered, "Charles, remember what you said today. If Scarlett gets hurt again, then I will try my best to take her away from you."
I grabbed his collar and hissed, "How dare you!" "We'll see about that."
Spencer and I fought like beasts, unwilling to give in.
He had never been good at fighting ever since he was a kid, not to mention that I was his opponent now.
I enjoyed the overwhelming superiority, and soon beat him to a pulp.
"Charles, don't push it!" Spencer covered his bruised face and said, "And you, David! Why aren't you helping me? Are you even my friend?" David leaned against the wall, shrugged his shoulders, and said helplessly, "Spencer, just accept the truth. Even with my help, you can't beat Charles."
"Fuck!"
I straightened my wrinkled clothes and glared at them.
"If anyone ever dares to threaten me about taking Scarlett away from me, then I will kill that person, for sure!"
With that, I turned around and left. Spencer's angry roar echoed behind me.
"But you don't love her at all!"
"You have no right to judge that."
Anyone who dared to offend me should be aware of the consequences. I would not let anyone take Scarlett away from me.
Scarlett's POV:
I was depressed as I lay in the ward, listening to the men fighting outside.
However, Icey, who was sitting beside me, was not worried at all. She held my hand intimately with a bright smile.
"Well, it's their business, and they have to sort it out on their own. There is no need for us to worry."
Forcing a smile, I told myself not to be concerned with what was going on outside.
"Scarlett, you have given birth to three kids, and I haven't even got pregnant yet."
Icey and David had been married for a while, but they hadn't had children yet.
"Actually, I don't know how I got pregnant. I remember that we always used protections." I felt a little upset thinking about it.
"Perhaps, it was fated."
"No. It's probably because the condom was of a poor quality," I denied with a straight face.
Icey burst into laughter.
"Do you really think that Mr. Moore is the kind of man who would use a cheap product?"
Although I was smiling on the outside, I was not happy.
Maybe, it was fate.
I had thought that James was dead at that time, which meant that the only connection between me and Charles had been broken, but I had not expected that I had actually been pregnant with the twins.
It seemed like Charles and I were destined to be entangled for the rest of our lives.
"Are you and David planning to have a baby?" I changed the topic at once.
"No. My family's problem hasn't been solved yet, so I don't think having a child now would be a good idea. I've discussed the same with David. I would like to be a mom when I'm 35 years old," Icey said casually.
I couldn't help but look at her with envy.
She had her own plans for life, and she had a husband who truly loved her. Unlike Charles, David was willing to discuss everything with his wife and compromise for her sake.
After looking at me for a while, Icey asked with concern, "Scarlett, tell me honestly, what did Charles actually do to you? Did he hurt you?"
Upon hearing that, Charles throwing a knife at me flashed through my mind.
Although he had not hurt me physically that day, he did something worse, and the piercing pain kept reminding me of how ruthless and fierce he was.
"No, we just had a fight," I answered calmly.
"Then how did you end up in the hospital?"
I shook my head, and said, "I'm fine. It's just that my old injury hasn't healed yet."
"Alright. Don't worry about anything else and just take good care of yourself. Although the kids are very young, Charles' family can take care of them. You need to take care of yourself now. Only then will you have the strength to handle bigger matters." There was a hint of mystery in her tone.
I looked at her curiously and asked, "What do you mean?"
Icey blinked at me and said, "Only when you're healthy can you win the battle, right?"
"The battle?"
"Haven't you always wanted to leave Charles? If the queen is not healthy, then how will she have the strength to defeat the dragon and save her little princes?"
Icey's words struck me like thunder, breaking up the clouds in my head.
I realized that I could not continue to live such a muddled life anymore. I had to recover soon and take my children away from this place, away from Charles.
Thinking of that, I smiled genuinely for the first time in a while.
