Chapter 205: A Family Of Three

Charles' POV:

I leaned in and quickly kissed Scarlett on the lips.

"Charles!" she cried out in anger.

We were just a few inches apart from each other.

Her bright eyes and her beautiful delicate face made me smile.

Although her hair was wet with sweat, she still looked stunning.

"Scarlett, you should exercise more.How can you get so sweaty after just walking for a while?"

Taking a tissue in my hand, I gently and carefully wiped her forehead.

"You're the one that walked too fast without even waiting for me!"

Scarlett complained and was about to grab the tissue.

I squinted my eyes at her and warned, "If you are not going to be obedient, then I'll have to kiss you
again."

Upon hearing that, Scarlett gave up and sat down quietly.

Seeing that, I immediately laughed, gave her a peck on the cheek, and said, "I am sorry.I shouldn't
have walked so fast.From now on, I will wait for you."

She covered her face and glared at me like an angry kitten.

I continued to smile at her as I sat down next to her and held her in my arms.



"Do you still remember the things that happened when we were still kids?"

Scarlett snorted, but she did not answer.

"You had no friends back then and followed me around all day long.And when I was busy reading, you
would just sit in a corner and gaze at me."

"Who says I don't have friends? Isn't Spencer my friend?".

"Of course, he is."

I stroked her hand softly before I intertwined my fingers with hers.

All of a sudden, she gripped my hand tightly, looking at me.

"Spencer ignored me at first, but later he told me that someone asked him to take care of me.Was it
because…"

"Yes, I was the one that asked him to look after you." I looked into Scarlett's eyes and smiled.

There were some complex emotions in her eyes besides just surprise.

I gradually moved closer to her and I could even feel her warm breath on my skin.

However, Scarlett tilted her face to avoid my lips as she gently took her hand away from mine.

Seeing that, I could not help but feel a little disappointed.

"We're in public!"

Glaring at me, she tried to wiggle out of my embrace.

I looked up and saw some people starting at us from a distance.



The moment they met my eyes, they turned around and left.

At noon, we arrived at a hotel for lunch.

We heard a knock on the door as soon as we were seated.

"Come in, please."

The door opened.

A gentleman walked in with a bright smile.He spoke in a strong French accent.

"Charles? It's really you!"

"Long time no see, Henri."

I stood up to greet him.I then held Scarlett's hand and introduced her, "This is my wife, Scarlett.Honey,
this is Mr.Henri Moreau."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs.Moore.You look stunning."

Henri complimented Scarlett and added, "I'm having lunch with my wife here as well.Mind if we join
you?"

I turned to Scarlett, who replied to him with a gentle smile, "It would be our pleasure."

After giving us a nod, Henri went to find his wife.I caressed Scarlett's hair.

"Well, I am glad that you finally admitted that you're my wife."

Shaking off my hand, Scarlett returned to her seat.

"Don't mess up my hair."



"Scarlett, can you please put on the wedding ring?"

Hearing that, she turned to me with a puzzled look.

I squatted down in front of her, held her hand, and explained, "I'm developing an important project now
and I need to compete other companies for a piece of land.

Henri is the one to decide the deal.

He loves his wife deeply, and he is the kind of man that values a harmonious familial relationship."

"I thought you two are friends.If this is a business dinner, then I'd better not be here to bother you.If
James ends up crying suddenly, it will be really awkward.I'll take him with me and get another table."

With that, Scarlett withdrew her hand, frowning, and was about to pick up our son.However, I wrapped
my arms around her waist and pulled her closer.

"Janet, take James to another room and take care of him."

Hearing that, Janet gently put James in the baby stroller and left the room.

Scarlett pushed me away and said, "Charles, there is no need for me to stay here, so let me go, okay?"

"If I get this project done, then you will get half of the profits," I said with a meaningful smile.

"No need.Fine.Think of it as a favor."

With that, Scarlett finally sat down.

I took out the wedding ring from her bag, removed the ring Grandma gave her from her finger, and
quickly put on the wedding ring for her.



When I looked up, I found her staring at me with glistening eyes and blushing.

All of a sudden, there was a knock on the door.

Henri entered the room with a dignified woman.

"This is my wife, Armelle,"

Henri introduced the woman.

After greeting each other briefly, we sat down for dinner.

We were all chatting casually, and the atmosphere was really harmonious.

"I can see that your wife is great at communicating.Armelle rarely ever talks to someone she has met
for the first time."

Henri put down the glass.

Even though he was talking to me, his loving gaze was fixed on his wife.

I turned around and saw Scarlett and Armelle laughing, whispering to each other.

"After I have the baby, my life truly revolves around him.It is indeed very tiring to be a parent, but it also
makes my heart beam with joy and makes my life feel complete."

Saying that, Scarlett shared the photos of James with Armelle.

With a hopeful look in her eyes, Armelle held her hand.

"James is so cute! It looks like having a baby is really a beautiful thing.We haven't planned of having a
baby yet because I am afraid of pain…"



"You might want to reconsider.Even though it is painful to experience childbirth, the moment you see
your baby, all your pains will fade away."

I approached Scarlett quietly and saw her touching James in the photo.

The photo had been taken right after his birth, so he was so tiny and his body was pink.

Although he was born after our fake divorce, the mental and physical stress that Scarlett went through
because of the divorce were real. Feeling a little heartbroken, I sighed.

I then took Scarlett's hand.

She tried to struggle at first, but when she met my eyes, she stopped.I took the opportunity to intertwine
our hands.

"Can James speak now?" Armelle asked.

"That's the thing that makes me jealous.He can only say 'Papa' and not 'Mama'."

Scarlett turned away, but she was still holding my hand.I now felt like it was on cloud nine.

We were not alone right now, but at least, she was not refusing me.

After the meal, Henri suggested, "Let's play tennis together next time."

And I could not help but agree immediately.
