Chapter 151: Test Result

Scarlett’s POV:

After we left the island, the driver took me back to the Moore mansion.

As soon as I sat down in the living room, Christine held my hand and persuaded me, “Scarlett, stay for
a few more days. There’s no need to rush back to the training.”

The others nodded in agreement.

“You and Charles just got married. You should be with each other, having the time of your lives,”
Lawrence advised, seeing that I did not say anything in response.

Meanwhile, Alice turned to look at me and asked for my opinion. ”Scarlett, what do you think?”

“I’ll call Charles and discuss it with him,” I answered. Without another word, I returned to my room.

His absence crossed my mind, and disappointment washed over me.

While I was lost in thought, my phone suddenly rang. It was Charles. I could not wait to answer it.

“The test result has come out. It’s just water,” Charles informed me in a serious tone.

I was stunned, unable to believe it.

“When will,” Just as I was about to ask him when he would come back, I heard a noise on the other end
of the line. From the sound of it, he was with a lot of people.

“Honey, I’ll talk to you later. I have something important to do. I’ll take care of it first.” Charles hung up
the call without waiting for my reply.



I watched in a daze as the screen of my phone automatically turned off. It was only after a minute or so
that I came to my senses.

Something must be wrong with that glass of water. However, there was no way that Charles would
make a mistake. What happened and where was he anyway? I had not discussed with him about the
training program yet.

I felt a headache coming on at the thought of these things.

After pondering for a moment, I decided to go back to the training with Nina.

The two of us met at the airport at two o’clock in the afternoon.

I had been busy with the training courses in the following week. Charles seemed to be busy as well.
We did not talk much, even over the phone I was worried about him, but at the same time, I was a little
aggrieved. We had just gotten married. And yet, we were apart.

I came back on the weekend.

As soon as I disembarked the plane, I saw Charles waiting for me at the airport.

I felt as though I had not seen him for a long time as I gazed at him from a distance.

But then, Rita suddenly crossed my mind. I could not help but heave a heavy sigh as I thought of her.

The test result showed that the glass of water was not spiked. Would Charles think that I framed Rita
on purpose?

While I was in deep thought, Charles strode over to me.

He took my luggage and exited the airport without a word. We had been away from each other for just
a week, but it seemed that we had grown further apart.



I followed him closely.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, so I thought of a topic to break the silence. “Have you solved the
company’s affairs?” I worriedly asked.

“Almost,” Charles briefly answered.

Unable to take the dreadful atmosphere between us, I stopped in my tracks and scoffed, “What’s wrong
with you?”

Charles turned around, walked over to me, and held my hand.

“Let’s talk about it when we get home.”

On the way home, I looked at Charles’s stern expression and muttered, “You don’t seem very happy to
see me.”

He glanced at me and massaged his forehead wearily. He looked upset for some reason, but he would
not tell me.

After a long agonizing silence, he finally opened his mouth to speak.

“Why didn’t you tell me you had resumed your training?” he asked coldly.

“You didn’t tell me when you’d come back, so it doesn’t matter if I leave or not.” I was infuriated when I
recalled that he had left the day after our wedding. To make things worse, he was cold to me right now.

Charles frowned and looked at me. Still, he did not say a word.

The atmosphere was awkward all the way home. Charles and I were at odds, and I had no idea what
was going on in his mind.



When we arrived at the Moore mansion, Christine held my hand and asked how I had been abroad.

“It was great,” I replied with a smile.

Then, I stood up and opened my suitcase.

“By the way, I’ve brought you something.”

I took out the gifts I had prepared before coming here and then gave them to them.

While everyone was opening their gifts, Charles suddenly stood up and said to everyone, “I’m not
feeling well. I’m going to have a rest.”

I felt a little anxious, but I followed him nevertheless.

In the bedroom, Charles took his change of clothes and went to take a shower.

Meanwhile, I waited for him in the bedroom, restless.

Charles came out of the bathroom a few minutes later. Just as I was about to say something, he asked,
“Take the hairdryer and dry my hair, will you?”

Was he commanding me? Did he not leave his newly married wife behind first? What right did he have
to dictate to me?

Despite these questions, I turned around, fetched the hairdryer, and did as told. My mind was in a haze
as I combed through his hair. Charles’s gaze fell on the gift box I had brought.

“What’s in the box?” he asked with a frown.

“A gift.”



“For whom?”

“I don’t know.” I put away the hairdryer in annoyance, turned around, and walked aside.

Meanwhile, Charles picked up the gift box and opened it.

“Whom is it for?” he asked again.

“For a colleague.” I snatched the tie clip as I spoke.

With a displeased look on his face, Charles reached out to grab it.

I dodged his hand. But because he was tall, he was able to take the tie clip from me without breaking a
sweat.

However, I accidentally tripped on my foot. I shrieked instinctively. Fortunately, Charles caught me in
time. But then, he lost balance, and we fell on the bed on top of each other.

“Whom is it for?” Charles asked again.

“It’s none of your business.”

I tried to take the tie clip back, but he grabbed both of my hands, rendering me helpless.

Charles sighed and looked me in the eye.

“I had something urgent to deal with that day, so I hung up the phone in a hurry. I’ll answer all of your
questions now.”

I looked at him blankly. For a moment, I did not understand what he was talking about.



“Whom is the tie clip for?” Charles asked for the third time. Knowing him, he would not let the matter
go.

“It’s for you,” I answered without missing a beat.

“Then why did you say it was for your colleague?”

I glared at him.

“You made me upset. Why can’t I make you feel the same way?”

“Naughty girl,” Charles called teasingly.

A smile finally appeared on his face, but I remained annoyed.

“Are you finally gonna tell me about the test result?”

“Well, according to the doctor, the water was uncontaminated. There was no problem with it.”

But then, Charles paused for a moment and continued, “But that’s not the final result. Let’s talk about it
later. Now, go take a shower and let’s continue where we’ve left off.”

“No. Tell me everything now,” I insisted. I sounded anxious.

Charles, however, was very relaxed.

“I won’t tell you until you do as I say,” he argued like a spoiled child. I would have found this cute on
normal days.

But right now, it was annoying. I gave up in the end. I stared daggers at him and went to take a shower.



When I came out of the bathroom not long after, I saw Charles waving at me with a hairdryer in his
hand.

We lay on the bed once my hair was dry.

My heart fluttered as I listened to Charles’s breathing.

“Scarlett, I missed you so much.” He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me on the neck.

“What happened in the company? You suddenly left the day after our wedding,” I reminded, a little
aggrieved.

“Someone died in the construction site.” I gasped in shock.

Charles must have felt my distress. He held me tighter and reassured me, “Don’t worry. Everything is
settled now.”

I felt sorry for him. I focused only on myself that I did not think about his side.

“Sorry. I was too sensitive.” I buried myself in his chest with guilt. Charles raised my chin and looked at
me.

“It’s okay. You can be as sensitive as you want as long as you don’t leave me,” he said with a smile.

Then, he kissed me like he missed me.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and responded enthusiastically.

After the kiss, Charles pressed his forehead against mine. His breathing was quick yet heavy in
anticipation.



“Scarlett, can I?” he asked. I knew right away what he was talking about as I could feel his hard
manhood pressing against me.

“Answer me first.”

“There’s indeed abortion drug in the water. Let’s talk about the rest later.” Charles could not wait to
make love to me.

“Be gentle…” I asked him in a breathy voice. With that, we made love through the night.
