Charles’ POV:
The wedding ceremony was planned to be held the next day. I had been very busy lately with the
wedding planning, and as usual, I left home early in the morning.
After a long day, I called Scarlett at eight o’clock in the evening. As soon as she picked up the phone,
she asked in a soft voice, “Hello. You’ve been very busy lately. Are you tired?”
“I’m not tired. I think that it would be worth it as long as you’re happy,” I said with a smile.
“I’m satisfied with everything you prepared. Don’t tire yourself too much.”
Scarlett’s gentle voice dispelled my exhaustion in an instant.
“There will be a bachelor party tonight, and Spencer and David are the ones arranging it.”
“Shouldn’t we have a bachelor parties separately?”
“We are a married couple now. We don’t have to stick to such stereotypes,” I answered with a smile.
“Okay, I get it. I’ll go dress up now.”
“I’ll send the driver to pick you up. See you later!”
“See you later.”
Just when I was about to hang up, I heard her voice again. “Wait!”
“Honey, what’s the matter?”
“I just feel that everything has been so incredible, honey.” she said in a low voice before she hung up.
Looking at the blank screen, I could not help but smile. I also felt that our happiness was inconceivable.
It was something that we had fought for and struggled for.
Until that very moment, I was still surprised that I was going to marry her. And whenever I thought of
the wedding, I could not help but giggle like a little girl.
That evening, the car that I sent to pick up Scarlett appeared at the club on time. I had been waiting for
her.
She was dressed in a long dark blue gown and an overcoat, just like the elegant dignified woman she
was.
Seeing her get off the car, I held her waist and praised, “You look stunning, honey.”
Scarlett lowered her head shyly, blushing.
“Hello, Mrs. Moore.” As soon as we entered the private room, everyone stood in a line on either sides
of us, and greeted her.
“How are you feeling?” I whispered in Scarlett’s ear while she was still stunned.
“It feels kind of weird. I could not help but think of what happened before,” Scarlett said with a pout.
Upon hearing that, I thought of the past and felt guilty.
“It was all my fault. I promise that I won’t ever make you sad again.”
Naturally, I blamed myself.
“I’m not angry. Some of my memories have been rekindled, that’s all.” Scarlett wore a gentle smile on
her lips, and did not seem to be sad.
“Hey, this is a bachelor party. Stop showing off your love,” David complained loudly.
And the others echoed.
The atmosphere in the room was quite convivial, and everyone was cheering us madly. I held Scarlett
in my arms and watched them have fun.
All of a sudden, the door was pushed open, and Rita walked in, causing the entire room to quiet down
instantly. With a frown, I looked at Spencer, feeling displeased. However, he seemed to be clueless.
“I bumped into Rita this afternoon, so I invited her,” David said flatly.
Hearing that, I turned to David with a glare.
“We grew up together, so I’m here to give you my best wishes,” Rita said just when things were getting
tense.
After that, the tension eased for just a moment and Rita took the opportunity to sit down.
“Rita can’t drink. What should we do?” Spencer looked at the table full of wine in embarrassment.
“I’ll have the same beverage as Scarlett,” Rita said with a faint smile, looking at the glass in front of
Scarlett.
Spencer then asked someone to prepare the same juice for her.
“Scarlett, why can’t you drink?” Rita asked with a smile, stirring the juice in her glass.
“She can’t handle her alcohol,” I explained at once with a frown.
“Oh, I see. People who don’t know her might think that she is pregnant,” Rita said in a voice that was
dripping with sarcasm.
“What did you just say?” I hissed.
“Nothing. Richard is missing, so I’ll have to take the wedding invitation by myself.” She smiled.
I glanced at Amy, who was sitting next to me and asked her to bring a wedding invitation for Rita.
Rita took the invitation, touched it, and said with a smile, “It’s so beautiful. I wonder if I would have the
chance to give my own wedding invitation to others someday.”
Upon hearing that, I sneered in my heart and didn’t want to talk to her.
“Rita, are you feeling better now?” the handsome man, who was sitting from across her, asked in a
concerned voice.
“I’m afraid that my disease is a terminal one…” Choking back her sobs, she turned to me and added,
“Charles, are you happy?”
Seeing that I was silent, she asked again, “Are you happy to marry Scarlett?”
The next second, she burst into tears.
“I’m the happiest man in the world,” I said in a casual yet firm tone.
As soon as my words were heard by Scarlett, she looked up at me, and our eyes met for a moment.
After giving me a smile, she kissed me passionately.
The cheers of the crowd came to our ears. Scarlett and I hugged and kissed, ignoring everyone and
everything else there. We could only see each other. It was as though we were the only people left on
earth.
After the kiss, Scarlett leaned on my chest, gasping for breath, and the crowd began to cheer us again.
Biting her lower lip, Rita sat there with a pale face. She seemed out of place at the lively party.
“Rita, if you feel uncomfortable, then you should finish your juice and go back early,” David said
indifferently. He then looked at a handsome man next to him, and added, “Can you please help her get
home later?”
The latter nodded in agreement, looking at Rita from time to time.
Scarlett’s POV:
I knew that Rita only came there with an evil intent. Ever since I saw her walk in, I had known that she
was up to no good.
And just as expected, she got more emotional right after David asked her to leave.
“What? Are you afraid that I might cause trouble?”
“I am pretty sure that you’re not here to congratulate me. You only came here to mess with me, didn’t
you?” I sneered.
“Mess with you? I am sure you know it better than anyone about the reason I came here today.” Rita
looked at me sarcastically.
“Of course, I do.” I smiled coldly.
“You…” Rita pointed at me and glared at me. The atmosphere became tense at once.
“What? Since you came here to congratulate us, don’t pretend like you have been deserted,” I sneered
and mocked.
Rita looked at me with a sneer and said lightly, “Do you really think that you are qualified to be a
member of the Moore family or to marry Charles? Have you forgotten that your father is a criminal?”
Before she could say another word, David interrupted her coldly, “Rita, shut up!”
“No, I won’t! I just want everyone to see her true colors. I want to tell you all the real reason Charles
married Scarlett,” Rita hissed, and everyone turned to look at me.
“Why?” someone in the crowd asked. With a curious look in their eyes, they all looked at her.
“It’s because Scarlett is pregnant, and that’s why she is forcing Charles to marry her.”
Saying that, Rita looked at me complacently.
Even after hearing that, I tried to be calm. She was trying to destroy my relationship with Charles by all
means. But I was not expecting her to tell the truth on such an occasion.
I was really worried about what Charles might think of me, so I could not even bring myself to look at
him.
