Farewell To My Endless Love
Chapter 433 Don't Come Today

Caroline's POV:

The thought of being able to see my kids today delighted me.

I got off work early and left the company in high spirits.

Once I was in the car, I asked Elena to go to the shopping mall, so that I could buy the kids some gifts.

It had been so long since the last time I saw them. Somehow, I wondered if they were mad at me.

Aside from that, there was something else I was worrying about.

"Elena, do you think the twins might not know who I am anymore?" I asked, wearing a serious expression.

Elena smiled at me. "Caroline, you're overthinking. You're their mother, of course they remember you!"

Upon hearing that, I regained my composure and calmed down.

"Let's go to the kindergarten to pick up James and then go to the Moore mansion together."

"Got it!"

Classes weren't over yet, but there were already numerous cars parked outside the kindergarten. Parents or house helpers were already there, ready to pick up their kids.

I got off the car, and walked towards the gate of the school. There, I saw two familiar faces.

I wanted to pretend like I didn't see them, but Tracy noticed me right away. She waved at me enthusiastically.

"Scarlett!"

I couldn't correct Janet and Tracy the way I did Richard.

Though I had changed my identity, I didn't want to hurt them.

Because to me, they weren't just bodyguards. They were my dearest friends.

I flashed them a smile and asked, "Are you here to pick up James?"

"Yup!" Janet nodded in response.

I frowned, feeling worried. "Hold on. Since you're both here, who's looking after the twins?" I asked. Tracy flashed me a bright smile. "Don't worry about them. Mrs. Moore is taking care of them at home." I felt relieved to hear that. Then, we all waited for James together.

After a while, the school's gate was opened and the children came out one after another.

"Mommy!"

A sweet child's voice reached my ears.

James ran towards me, throwing himself into my arms.

I planted a kiss on his cheek, and I could not hide my excitement to see him. "James, my sweetboy!" After smiling at me, James turned his gaze towards Janet and Tracy.

"I want to go with Mommy. You can go home first."

I ruffled his hair and remarked, "James, I'm heading to the mansion as well. We can all go together."

"Really?" James' eyes lit up.

My heart melted at the sight of his face and I nodded at him with a smile.

James jumped for joy, putting his arms around my neck.

"Yay! I can finally go home with Mommy!"

Charles' POV:

Once I was done with the meeting, my phone's screen lit up. My mother was calling.

"Mom, what's up?"

In an anxious voice, Alice replied, "Charles, something has happened. Come home as soon as possible!"

She dropped the call before I could ask any questions.

I rushed home, but my mother was nowhere to be found.

I took a servant's hand and asked, "Where's my mother?"

"Mrs. Moore is supposed to be in the master bedroom."

There was something odd about the servant's expression, but I paid it no mind and just strode upstairs.

Upon opening the door of the master bedroom, I saw something ridiculous.

Raina was leaning against the headboard of my bed, wearing my shirt. Her collar was left slightly open, revealing her collarbone and cleavage.

I creased my eyebrows and shouted, "Get the fuck out of my bed!"

"I'm sorry, I..." Panicking, Raina glanced over at the other two women who were both sitting beside the bed.

My mother glared at me, visibly unhappy. "How could you speak to Raina like that?"

"This is my room. No other woman is allowed to sleep on my bed," I answered stiffly.

Then, I stared daggers at Raina and said, "Are you going to leave voluntarily or would you like me to throw you out myself?"

"Charles!" my mother shouted.

She stood in front of Raina along with Chloe.

It was then that I noticed the bandages on Raina's leg. "Are you injured?"

Ignoring my question, my mother said, "Raina saved my life and the twins' lives. How could you treat her like that? You should be thanking her instead!" "That's right. Charles, Raina got injured for our family. Can't you at least lend her the master bedroom until she's fully recovered?" Chloe chimed in.

Calmly, I said to them, "We have lots of guest rooms available."

My mother turned a deaf ear to my suggestion and responded firmly, "Whether you like it or not, Raina will be staying in the master bedroom until further notice. Both your father and grandfather have agreed to it already. There's nothing you can do to change it!"

Feeling helpless, I answered, "Mom, are you serious? Don't do this to me."

The only response I got from her was a sharp glare.

"I'm sorry, guys. I want to talk to Charles," Raina said in a soft voice.

My mother flashed her a gentle smile. "Sure, Raina. Chloe and I will step out for the time being. Take your time."

With that, they both left the room.

This whole thing was so ridiculous. I had no intention of giving Raina a single opportunity to make more trouble for me, so decided to walk away.

However, Raina spoke to halt me. "Charles, believe it or not, I ran into Alice and the twins by chance. They were in danger, and I couldn't just sit idly by and watch it happen. Don't give me the cold shoulder." The sound of her sobbing voice wasn't enough to faze me.

Without hesitation, I left the room and closed the door. Soon, the sound of her annoying cries disappeared.

I was more worried about something else.

Today was supposed to be the day Caroline would visit us--the kids, to be more preciously.

'What will she think if she finds Raina in my bedroom? Our relationship has only been mended not long ago. If she sees Raina here, she might freeze me out again. No! I'm not going to let that happen,' I remarked inwardly.

Suppressing the uneasiness in my heart, I dialed Caroline's number.

Soon, the call was connected.

I heard the voice that I had been yearning to hear. "Charles?"

"Caroline, I'm so sorry about this. Something has happened at home. You'll have to drop by some other time."

"What happened? Did something happen to Jason and Jerry?" Caroline asked worriedly.

I didn't want to lie to her, but telling her the truth was even more difficult for me.

"Today really isn't a good time. Don't come to the Moore mansion." I sounded sincere.

"But I'm already..."

Before I could hear the end of Caroline's sentence, I felt someone hugging me from behind.

"Charles, don't be mad at me.

I was surprised to see a woman's arms around my waist. The sleeves of my shirt were rolled up to her elbows.

At this moment, the front door of the house was unlocked. Not long after, it slowly opened up.
