Farewell To My Endless Love
Chapter 437 Apology

James' POV:

When I saw Grandma walking into the room, I immediately started crying.

Just as I expected, she walked over to me with an anxious look in her eyes.

"James, why are you crying? What happened?"

I threw myself into her arms and burst into tears as I screamed, "Grandma, Raina has been bullying me! I was being a good boy as Daddy asked me to and played a game of Sudoku with her, but when she couldn't solve the puzzle, she became angry and shouted at me!"

With an anxious look in her eyes, Raina explained, "I didn't! Mrs. Moore, you have to trust me! I didn't bully James at all!"

As expected, a coldness came into Grandma's eyes as she turned to Raina and said, "Raina, go back upstairs and rest. I'll take care of James."

"I really didn't bully him or shouted at him!"

Grandma motioned her to leave helplessly. "I see. You can go upstairs now."

Raina's eyes were filled with malice as she reluctantly walked out of the room.

Staring at her dejected back, I felt proud of myself.

I knew that a bad person like her should never become my stepmom.

Caroline was the only one who could be my mom!

I was determined to find a way to kick Raina out of our house.

Rolling my eyes, I held Grandma's hand and asked cutely, "Grandma, can you please ask Raina to leave our house? I don't like her!"

Grandma stroked my head and comforted me in a soft voice, "Raina saved your brothers and she is our guest. Don't be so mean to her, okay?"

"But she wasn't seriously injured! If you're really that worried about her, then you can hire a nurse to take care of her, right?"

"James, I'll ask Raina to leave in a few days. I just can't make her leave now."

Grandma refused my proposal resolutely.

Feeling a little aggrieved, I couldn't help but lower my head in disappointment.

"Don't be upset, sweetheart. How about I cook something you like? What do you want to eat for lunch?" Grandma asked.

After thinking for a moment, I said, "I want to eat shrimps!"

While we were having lunch, I put some of Jerry's applesauce over a plate of shrimps and handed it to Raina.

"Miss Hill, I shouldn't have been rude to you, and

I am sorry. I hope you forgive me."

Raina looked at me reluctantly and said, "I'm not that hungry, but thanks."

"Miss Hill, you really seem like someone who is broad-minded. You won't be angry with me, right?"

With a smile, I pushed the plate towards her again.

Raina gritted her teeth and said, "I will accept your apology, but I do not like shrimps."

I acted like I was surprised. "My dad loves shrimps, so I thought you would like them too." "Alright, then. I'll eat them."

With a stiff expression, she slowly picked up a piece of shrimp from the plate.

Seeing that, I covered my mouth and snickered.

She was such a terrible person, and I really wanted to see if she still dared to covet my dad while I was around.

During the lunch, Raina's face paled all of a sudden.

Excusing herself, she covered her belly with her hands and rushed to the bathroom.

"Good job, James!" Great-grandma praised me.

Charles' POV:

After leaving Caroline's villa, I went back to Garden Street in a daze.

My head was still pounding.

So I took a few pills and curled up on the bed.

A long while later, I slowly drifted off to sleep.

However, it was not a good night's sleep as I was having nightmares.

In my nightmare, Caroline left me, holding another man's hand intimately.

Who on earth was he?

I was trying my best to catch up with them, but I couldn't, no matter how hard I tried.

In the end, I was met with Caroline's cold eyes.

I woke up in cold sweat, and only after looking around the familiar room did I breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was nothing more than a bad dream.

But was it really just a dream, though?

If that was really the case, then why was I still feeling pretty heartbroken and suffocated?

It felt so real, as if I had actually experienced it before.

I immediately picked up my phone and called Richard.

"Richard, has Caroline been with another man before? I mean, when she was still Scarlett."

Richard fell silent for a while.

Seeing that, my heart sank at once and my eyes turned cold.

So the scenes that flashed in my nightmare were real.

"Was that man Simon?" I asked, gritting my teeth.

"No," Richard denied immediately.

After I hung up the phone, I fell into deep thought.

I was desperate to know what happened during that year.

At that moment, I heard a knock on the bedroom door.

The house on Garden Street was where Scarlett and I used to live, so apart from us, no one really came there.

So was it Caroline?

I got out of bed excitedly and opened the door, my heart flooding with a sense of expectation. However, when I saw the woman outside my door, disappointment crashed into my heart like a wave of misery.

It was Raina outside my door, and not Caroline. 'Yeah, right? Why would Caroline come here?" "Surprise! Charles, aren't you happy to see me here?" Raina greeted me with a bright smile. "How did you get in here? Get out! You are not welcome here!" I scolded her, looking at her with disgust in my eyes.

"I begged Alice to give me the spare key. I heard that you were not feeling well lately, and I was worried that you might feel lonely, so I came here to be with you."

Raina was wearing a sexy low-cut slip dress, which clung to her body, enhancing her curves.

However, I was not aroused by her at all.

When I recalled the night when she was in my room in the Moore mansion wearing my shirt, I felt like throwing up.

A wave of fury crashed into my mind and I felt my head pounding again.

I put my hand on the door to support myself as I tried hard not to faint.

"Get out! This is not a place where you can come!" "Charles, how can you be so mean? Alice asked me to take care of you because she was worried about you. Do you really want to worry her?" Raina's eyes turned red, and she was feeling wronged.

I gradually lost my patience and shouted, "Don't try to use my mom to blackmail me! Did you really think that you would be able to marry into the Moore family as long as you're able to win over my mom and Chloe? Well, you can keep dreaming about it!"

Tears welled up in Kama's eyes as she lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Covering her wound with a look of pain, she burst into tears.

"Charles, I'm in pain now, so please let me stay here."

It did not take even a second for me to see right through her lousy act.

Hearing her constant cries, my head started to hurt more.

I left the room irritably, ignoring Raina.

I walked downstairs, lit up a cigarette, and inhaled the smoke while rubbing my temples, groaning in pain.

While I was in a trance, a picture suddenly came to my mind.

Caroline was sweetly nestling in the arms of another man, but I couldn't see his face clearly.

And I even saw her showing him her sexy lingerie.

Her sweet and charming smile could make any man fall to his knees.

Recalling the image, I felt my heart sink.

Resentment and anger surged in my heart as I kicked the coffee table hard, my eyes filled with unwillingness.

'Why? How could Caroline smile at another man? How could she do it?'

I closed my eyes, enduring the pain in my heart as I wished I could tear that man into pieces.

I wasn't pulled back to my senses until I felt the burn from the cigarette butt on my fingers.

I put out the cigarette and threw it into the ashtray.

A bitter smile appeared on my lips as I looked at Caroline's photos on the wall.

She must have looked ravishing in that sexy lingerie, but it was a pity that I wasn't the only one who could savor her beauty anymore.
