What A Good Man
Charles’ POV:
Janet sent me a photo of Scarlett’s foot bath.
The doctor had advised her to soak her injured foot in hot water every day to speed up the healing
process. However, I was told that Scarlett was not taking his advice seriously, and often forgot to do it.
Since Janet reminded her from time to time, I finally felt a little relieved.
That moment, my phone vibrated, and when I saw that it was a call from Nancy, I cut the call at once.
I then called Richard.
“It has been getting really cold lately, so ask the others to take good care of Mrs. Moore. Don’t let her
fall sick.” a
“I understand, Mr. Moore.”
The next morning, I took Grandma to Garden Street when Scarlett and the kids were still asleep.
She was sitting in the living room, relaxing, while I walked to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for
everyone.
“Grandma, what are you doing here?” As soon as Scarlett walked out of her room, she was surprised
to see the old lady there. “Grandma was really missing you and the kids a lot, so I brought her along.”
Saying that, I walked out of the kitchen with the breakfast tray. I knew that Scarlett was not pleased to
see me, but I ignored her displeasure as I sat down across her.
“Grandma, I’ve missed you so much.” “I missed you too.” Seeing them hugging so intimately, I felt like I
was the only outsider there. “Grandma, I’m sorry for being rude to you last time. I feel really bad about
it.” Scarlett’s eyes turned red at the mention of it.
“Silly girl, I don’t blame you at all. I know that Charles must have made you suffer a lot, and that’s the
reason you’re so determined to leave. I feel really sorry for you.”
Grandma reached out her hand and stroked Scarlett’s short hair. With a pitiful look in her eyes, she
continued, “Look at you! Why do you look so weak? You should eat well. Your health is more important
than anything else.” “Okay, I will.” Scarlett smiled through tears. “But I think that I will look better if I lose
some weight.” She smiled sweetly, acting like a spoiled child in front of my grandma.
“Nonsense! You are the most beautiful girl. Look at you. The size of Charles’ arms is twice as much as
yours,” Grandma mumbled. “Yes, he is too fat,“ Scarlett complained with a pout. I fell into a trance,
looking at her adorable expression. The last time she had acted like a spoiled child in front of me felt
like something that had happened a lifetime ago. Scarlett was a calm woman, who rarely ever behaved
like that, but once she started to talk sweetly, her face would turn red. I suddenly felt the urge to hold
her and wished that I could switch places with my grandma. Grandma then held her hand tightly and
asked, “By the way, how is your ankle now? I know a very famous doctor, and I want you to consult
with him. Let me take you to his hospital another day, okay?” “But I‘ve been really busy lately, so I don‘t
have time for such things.” Scarlett was a little embarrassed. I winked at my grandma secretly.
“When do you have time, then? How about next week?”
“Okay, we can discuss it next week. Don‘t worry too much, though. A well-known doctor is treating my
injury, and I am recovering quite well,” Scarlett comforted her.
Grandma frowned. “Really? What’s the doctor’s name?”
Scarlett thought for a while and shook her head. “I can’t remember his first name, but I think that his
surname is White.”
“Scarlett, your doctor’s name is Herman White,” Tracy reminded her in a low voice. “I’ve heard a lot
about his remarkable medical skills.”
Grandma gave me a wink.
I felt inexplicably upset. When I had been absent from Scarlett‘s life, William had not only been with
her, but he had also gotten a famous doctor to treat her. He had completely replaced my role in her life.
Feeling dejected, I stood up and walked upstairs to see my sons.
James was playing with his younger brothers in the room, and the moment he saw me, he ran over to
“Daddy!”
I picked him up and looked at him. “It has only been a few days since we last saw each other, and
you’ve already grown taller, my dear!”
With a firm nod, James straightened his back to prove that he had indeed grown taller.
grandma?”
James glanced at me, put his arms around my neck, and rested his head on my shoulder.
“Okay.”
I carried him downstairs and said to Grandma, “Look who’s here!”
“Oh, my sweetheart! Give me a hug.” Grandma stood up excitedly, reaching out her arms to James. I
put him down and said encouragingly, “Go ahead.” Glancing at Scarlett, James walked up to Grandma
slowly and greeted her politely, “Hello, great grandma.” Grandma held James in her arms and kissed
him lovingly, making him blush. Scarlett was drinking water and smiling as she admired them. I quickly
walked to her and took the glass from her hand. Our eyes met for a moment, but neither of us said a
word. After breakfast, Grandma was about to leave when Scarlett suddenly turned to me and said,
“You saw Jerry yesterday, and James today. If you haven’t seen Jason yet, then you can go upstairs
and see him now.”
Stunned, I wondered what she meant by that. “I’ll come back later to see him. I have to send Grandma
back first.” That way, I could come back again. It was a brilliant idea! Thinking of it, I was a little proud
of myself. Scarlett’s POV: Charles was really shameless. Was he planning to see only one of his sons
at a time so that he could come to my house three times a week? I glared at him in dissatisfaction. And
the more I thought about his plan, the more I felt that there was something wrong with it. I felt the urge
to say no to him, but I did not want to be rude in front of Christine
After Charles left, I sent him a text, telling him that he should stop using the kids as an excuse to stay
at my place. Then I left for work. But he didn’t reply that whole morning. I invited Abner for lunch that
noon during our lunch break to discuss about the program. As soon as we entered the dinner, I heard
someone mentioning my name. “Is that handsome man Scarlett’s husband? He is so handsome and he
can take care of the children. What a good husband!” While I was in a daze, a colleague showed me
his phone. “This photo was taken by our colleague at the park that’s next to our TV station. Is the man
in the photo your husband?” It was a photo of Charles and the boys, happily playing on the lawn at the
park. It was such a warm picture. “Yes,” I admitted reluctantly. “Wow! Scarlett, you‘re so lucky. You‘re
working while your husband is taking care of the kids all by himself.” “By himself?‘ What did they mean
by that? Could they not see the nannies and the bodyguards beside them? I secretly rolled my eyes
and said nothing. “Looks like your relationship is doing very well now,” Abner teased. I shook my head
helplessly. “That‘s not true.” “Scarlett, don’t be so stubborn. According to me, Charles is the kind of guy
who can do anything if he wants to,” Abner said to me with a meaningful glance. I continued to remain
silent while smiling bitterly. With Charles’ power, there was no one who could stop him from doing
anything.
