Scarlett’s POV:
I could not hide my amusement when I saw Rita’s panic-stricken face. With a sly smile, I brought the
glass of water to her.
“You wanted some water, didn’t you? Here. Have a drink,” I said while handing it over.
Rita slapped my hand and got on her knees.
“Charles, didn’t you promise you’d marry me? Why are you in denial of your feelings for me?” Rita
sobbed while looking at Charles with tearful eyes.
“Indeed. I was in denial of my feelings for Scarlett.” Charles looked at me guiltily.
“What-what did you say?” Rita stuttered in disbelief.
Charles did not answer her question. Instead, he sneered and warned her, “You’d better not drug her;
otherwise, the Lively Group will fall into crisis.”
Rita was in utter shock. She opened her mouth to speak, but no sound came out.
I could not help but sigh as I gazed at Charles’s stone-cold expression.
‘‘Wow. Rita has crossed my bottom line again and again, but Charles is still on my side.”
With a frown, Charles turned to Richard and pointed at Rita, who was in a daze. “Take her out.
Just as Charles had ordered, Richard dragged Rita out right away. Finally, the commotion had come to
an end. Well, at least for now.
Now that only the two of us were left in the room, Charles’s demeanor changed. He held my hand and
asked gingerly, “Honey, are you still mad at me?”
I lowered my head. “Yes.”
“Don’t worry, honey. I’ll get justice for you. I won’t let that woman off this time.”
I raised my head and looked at him.
“Humph! Will you wrongly accuse me like that again?”
“I’ve heard that pregnant women are sensitive. Now, I can attest to that. Honey, I didn’t mean that. I just
asked. Anyway, it’s my fault for making you unhappy. I’ll make it up to you.” Charles coaxed me with
sweet words. I must admit, it was working.
However, I did not say anything and just pinched his side as hard as I could.
“Honey, you can punish me as you like. But today is our wedding night. Can you forgive me for now?
Let’s do what we should do first…” Charles kissed me on the cheek, but his hand wandered around my
body.
Before I knew it, his hands were on my back, trying to unzip my Wedding Night dress.
“Don’t…” I tried to stop him, but my body was slowly giving in.
“Honey, I know you’re unhappy because of what has just happened. Let me make it up to you.” Charles
kissed the back of my neck, and it sent shivers down my spine.
I got so weak in my knees, so I grabbed his arms for support.
Impressively, Charles managed to unzip my dress. Now that my breasts were exposed, he fondled
them lustfully.
“You… I think you’re just comforting yourself,” I muttered while glaring at him.
Charles raised his head and stared at me with an aggrieved look on his face. “It’s been so long since
we last made love. Don’t you want it? Well, I know I can’t wait to fuck you right now.”
My face turned red with embarrassment. The truth was, I wanted it too. But I was worried about our
baby. “But… The baby…”
“It’ll be fine as long as I’m gentle. Shall we do it, honey?” Charles asked for my consent while kissing
me on the neck.
I looked at his bright and pitiful eyes, and my heart softened. How could I saw no to that?
“Okay. But be gentle.”
“I will.” Charles answered, a hint of excitement in his voice. He scooped me in his arms and carried me
to the bed.
He then put me down and stripped me off my clothes.
All of a sudden, a cold breeze came in. I instinctively covered my chest in the cold.
“Are you cold?” Charles pressed me onto the bed and then pulled the quilt over to cover us.
“Don’t worry. You’ll be warm soon.”
He chuckled and kissed me on my forehead.
A moment later, the desire in my body was ignited. He was right. I did not feel cold anymore.
“Honey, let’s do it sideways so we won’t hurt the baby. I know we won’t be able to enjoy ourselves to
the fullest, but I’m willing to sacrifice my pleasure.” Charles helped me lie on my side as he spoke.
I could feel my face burning because of his dirty talk.
“Don’t be shy. You’ll have to get used to this. I’ll flirt with you all the time.” Charles seductively kissed
my earlobe. Meanwhile, with his free hand, he slowly reached out to my lady parts.
My whole body tensed up, and my vagina became wet in anticipation.
“Relax. Let me touch it.”
Charles must have noticed my nervousness. He kissed me on the lips to distract me from what he was
doing down there. Although his tone was soft and gentle, the movement of his fingers was quite the
opposite.
“Ugh… Hurry up,” I urged. I had had enough of foreplay. I wanted him now.
“You want it now? What should you say then?” Charles asked with a snicker. He kept drawing circles
down there, teasing me to his heart’s content.
“Honey, give it to me…” I implored. I could no longer stand being teased. My burning lust was getting
the better of me.
“If you say so.” Charles quickened his movement, his breathing quick yet heavy.
“Oh… Honey…” I moaned in pleasure.
Charles stopped what he was doing and then looked at me with a burning gaze.
His eyes made me feel a little embarrassed. Just as I was about to pull the quilt to cover my face, he
inserted his manhood into me.
He said he would be gentle. Well, he did as he promised. However, we made love for hours.
I was tired and sleepy, but Charles did not stop until midnight.
The next morning, I woke up with a backache. To my astonishment, Charles had left. I looked around
and saw that he had left a note on the table.
“I have to deal with something urgent in the company. I’ll come back as soon as I can.” It was a simple
note, but I felt a little stuffy in my chest.
Something serious must have happened that Charles had to go to the company and deal with it in
person.
I went out of the room after washing my face and brushing my teeth. Unexpectedly, I met Nina at the
door.
“Oh my! Look at your dark circles. Something fun happened last night, didn’t it?” Nina asked with an
obscene smile.
“What brings you here?” I asked, shifting the topic.
“Let’s go fishing.” Nina held my hand and led me to the lake without even waiting for my response. 0
I raised my eyebrows at her. “Why are you in such a good mood? Did something happen between you
and Abner yesterday?”
“Stop talking nonsense. We have nothing to do with each other. Where is Charles, by the way? Why
did he leave so early in the morning?”
“He went to the company to deal with something,” I answered.
Although I looked calm, I was worried about him.
“You two have just gotten married. Why isn’t he spending more time with you?” Nina asked again.
I just glanced at her and did not say anything in response. My mood became worse at the mention of it.
Just as Nina was about to say something, someone came out of nowhere and knocked on her
head.She turned around with a scowl.
“Abner, what are you doing?” she asked in an annoyed tone.
“Well, you were in a daze, so I helped you come to your senses,” Abner retorted.
“I wasn’t! You’re just finding an excuse to take revenge on me for stealing your meat skewer last night!”
Nina stroked the back of her head while staring daggers at him.
The two of them bickered just like they always did. It seemed that they had forgotten about
I walked a few yards away from them and enjoyed the scenery. Suddenly, I felt a little disappointed.
The view of the lake would have been so much better with Charles here.
Spencer and David arrived a few moments later.
The latter looked at Abner and Nina, who were arguing, and joked, “I thought Nina was pursuing
Spencer.”
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Spencer picked up the fishing rod and handed it to David.
For a second, I saw a hint of disappointment in his eyes. We sat by the lake as we fished and chatted
with one another. It was not every day we got to enjoy our time like this.
Everyone was in high spirits. I, however, was thinking about Charles, so I did not say much.
“Are you sad because Charles isn’t here?” Spencer asked, noticing my silence.
I sighed and forced a smile.
“No…”
“Don’t worry. Charles just had to deal with something important in the company. He’ll be back as soon
as he can,” Spencer reassured.
I nodded in response. But I must say, I had lost interest in fishing.
At noon, Charles still had not come back.
