Farewell To My Endless Love
Chapter 344 The Party Plan

Charles's POV:

I went to the Mint Bar in a bad mood and headed straight for one of the VIP rooms. I started drinking like there was no tomorrow as soon as I sat down. After a few moments, Spencer came in.

"So, it's really you. I thought I mistook somebody else for you. Aren't you supposed to be at a dinner party? Why are you here?"

"I didn't go," I muttered and gulped down another glass of whiskey.

Spencer came over and sat next to me. After pouring himself a drink, he began to tease me.

"Did you go see Scarlett and the kids?"

I paused at the question. Damn, was I that obvious?

"No."

"Don't be stubborn."

"Don't be nosy," I backfired and continued to drown my sorrows in alcohol.

"I heard Nina helped you keep Scarlett," Spencer commented, raising his eyebrows.

"Scarlett couldn't leave anyway, so technically, Nina had nothing to do with her staying. She just calmed her down."

Spencer played with his glass and stared at me solemnly.

"Charles, as your friend, I have to remind you not to be complacent with your arrangement with Scarlett. She's still a flight risk, and if she succeeds on running away with the children one day, then you'll be left alone, maybe even for the rest of your life."

"Running away with the children?" I sneered. "And where would she go?"

"Don't forget that William is still obsessed with her," Spencer reminded me.

William. That wife-stealing bastard.

I scoffed and downed another drink.

"By the way, why is there no news about William lately? Didn't he use to appear wherever Scarlett was before?" Spencer asked curiously.

"I don't know, and I don't care," I shrugged and then glanced at Spencer.

"Oh, my God! Did you do something to him?" Spencer raised his voice and looked at me with wide eyes.

"What do you think?" I asked Spencer in reply.

He was right. I did do something to William.

If he was indeed thinking about taking my wife and children away from me, then he was dreaming!

Spencer set his glass on the table and excitedly gave me a thumbs up.

"Way to go, buddy! You should've taught that jerk a lesson a long time ago, let him know that he can't mess with you and your family and get away with it." "What are you so excited about, Spencer?" David pushed the door open and walked in.

"David? Why are you here?"

"Charles called me," David pouted at me. "This better be important, Charles, because I canceled a potentially wonderful night with my Icey just to be here."

David walked to the sofa and sat down. He stared at me intently as if telling me to get on with what I was going to tell him.

"I'm going to hold a big party for Jerry and Jason and officially announce their identities to the public."

"A party for the twins? That sounds like fun," David said, stroked his chin, and then asked, "But what about Scarlett? Is she okay with the idea?"

"Scarlett wants to take the kids and run far, far away from Charles. Do you think she'll want a big baby debut that'll tie her and her children to Charles forever?" Spencer smirked.

"I need your help," I blurted out at the expense of my precious pride. "That's why I asked you to come, David."

Spencer and David were rendered speechless for a few seconds.

"Fine. You're like a brother to me, man. Of course I'll help you convince Scarlett," David sighed, rubbed his forehead, and looked at Spencer.

Spencer nodded awkwardly and put his hands up as if in surrender.

"Okay, okay, I'm in."

After confirming my friends' cooperation, I left the bar with a smile on my face and hope in my heart. Unconsciously, I drove to Garden Street again.

Scarlett's POV:

I was writing articles in the study when the doorbell suddenly rang. I walked to the door and saw Vivian and Icey through the peephole.

As soon as I opened the door, Vivian gave me a big hug.

"Hello, Scarlett! Oh, I've missed you!"

Vivian raised her hand and touched my hair. "Honey, this hairstyle makes you look like a teenager. You better grow it out, or you'll make men feel guilty when they make love to you." "Easy on the lovemaking comments, Vivian," I muttered, feeling blood rush to my cheeks.

"She's right, Scarlett. I also think you're more beautiful with long hair," Icey seconded.

"Let's talk about my hair later. What brings you two here?" I changed the topic and ushered them in.

My intuition told me that they must have an important agenda.

"Where are Jerry and Jason? I haven't seen them in a long time. Have them brought out so we can greet the little angels," Vivian said and handed the toys she bought to the nanny. I smiled and asked the nanny to bring the twins out.

Vivian held Jason while Icey held Jerry. I could only beam as I watched Vivian and Icey play with my little boys.

"I don't think we've held a party for these little cuties since they were born. Am I right, Scarlett?

We should throw a party for them," Icey suggested and cooed at Jerry.

"Yes, yes, we must hold a grand party for them."

Vivian rubbed Jason's chubby face and lowered her head to tease him.

"What do you think, Jason? It's an awesome idea, isn't it?"

"But I've already held a birthday party for them in Kitsap," I smiled casually.

"That shouldn't count. None of your best friends were there," Icey frowned.

"What is up with you two today? Why do you insist on throwing a party for the twins?" I looked at them in confusion.

"Nothing. I just want to find an excuse to gather everyone together and have fun. Besides, I want to tell everyone that the beautiful Scarlett is back," Vivian said with a grin.

"Well, we can have fun anytime. There's no need to throw a big party for the twins," I retorted, shaking my head.

"Oh, don't be such a killjoy, Scarlett. If you don't want the party to be for the twins, then we'll throw it for me. I've suffered and survived a lot this year, you know? I was set up, had a miscarriage, and almost went through a divorce. I'm the only one here who deserves a party just as much as these two little bundles of joy here," Vivian said like a spoiled child asking for candy.

She had a miscarriage?

I looked at Vivian in shock.

"You remember Ethan? I fought with him and lost the baby," she smiled and said lightly after reading my surprised reaction.

Looking into Vivian's sincere eyes, I couldn't say no.

"Don't worry. We won't invite the elders. The party is just for us," Icey beamed and winked at me.

I was caught in a dilemma. I couldn't refuse, but I didn't want to agree either.

After Vivian and Icey left, I sat on the sofa and thought quietly.

I already guessed that they were helping Charles to persuade me to throw the party. But why did he want a party for the twins all of sudden?

I couldn't help sighing. I could never guess what that man was thinking.

When I went upstairs, I found Janet playing with the twins. I walked over, picked up one of them, and whispered, "Do you want a party, sweetie?" "What's wrong, Scarlett? Are you all right?" Janet asked with genuine concern.

"My friends want to hold a party for the twins, but I can't make up my mind about it."

"I think it's a great idea. It's an opportunity for you to take more photos and videos of Jerry and Jason. I'm sure they'll enjoy seeing lots of their childhood memories in photos and in film when they grow up." Really?

I lowered my head and looked at the twins, lost in thought.

The next day, I still hadn't made up my mind.

In the afternoon, Janet and I went to the supermarket to do some grocery shopping. I was surprised to bump into Nancy there.

"Hi, Scarlett," Nancy greeted me.

She didn't change at all. She still looked as sweet and innocent as before.

"I'm not sure if you already knew, but I recently moved to Garden Street. I live in the building behind your house. Guess we're neighbors now."

Nancy excitedly pointed out the direction of her house, but I kept my face neutral.

Ruthless ambition was written all over this girl's face.

When Charles had a car accident last time, she blatantly behaved as if she wanted to replace me.

I stared at her and thought for a second. Since we were neighbors now, I might as well make use of her to get what I wanted.

"Really? That's great. Well, since we live near each other now, we should exchange phone numbers. You know, just in case we need each other's help," I suggested with a smile.

"Oh, yes, of course."

Looking at Nancy's phone number in my contact list, I felt an inexplicable emotion surge through my heart.

A party for the twins?

I'd like to see what he was planning to do.
