Chapter 267

Charles' POV:



Scarlett frowned as she stared at me.



Her bright, beautiful eyes bewitched me. And it rendered me unable to resist the urge to lean close to
her.



Scarlett seemed a little nervous. To my surprise, she closed her eyes and pecked me on the lips.



I was stunned by her initiative.



After taking a step back, she stared me with coquettish eyes. "Let's go back to the mansion tonight,
okay?"



"Sure." I licked my lips, feeling unsatisfied.



Then, I locked my eyes on Scarlett.





Confused, she asked, "What…?"



Before she could finish speaking, I held the back of her head, bent over, and kissed her. Then, I
jammed my tongue into her mouth and gave her a French kiss.



Tracy yelped for a second, but she soon quieted down and averted her gaze from us.



Meanwhile, Scarlett whimpered and resisted. I embraced her tightly and kissed her more passionately.
Seconds later, she indulged herself in our kiss. She wrapped her arms around my neck and began to
kiss me back.



After a long time, I finally let go of her. I pressed my forehead against her and suggested, "Maybe we
shouldn't go back to the mansion today."



Scarlett glared at me, blushing. "But I want to go back!"



"Well, I guess it would still work as long as we do it quietly," I said.





"Charles!" Scarlett exclaimed.



Seeing that she was about to get pissed, I clammed up. But the smile on my face didn't disappear.



Upon our arrival at the Moore mansion, dinner was already served. We greeted the elders and sat
beside them.



Grandpa exhorted Scarlett. "You shouldn't spend all of your time working. You should spend more time
with your child whenever possible."



Scarlett was ladling a bowl of soup for Grandma when she heard that. "I will, Grandpa," she answered.



Grandpa nodded with satisfaction before turning to look at me. "Charles, is your company lacking in
manpower? My friend has a granddaughter named Nancy Wood. She just graduated this month. Do
you mind checking if there's a suitable position for her?"



Honestly, my company was never short on manpower, but Grandpa rarely ever asked for favors. I held
him in high regard, so I wanted to do him this favor. Thus, I agreed to his request readily. "I'll ask my



assistant to contact her."



After dinner, I wanted to stroll in the garden with Scarlett. However, Grandma took her first.



I had no choice but to follow them around.



Grandma seemed to be in high spirits, and she asked Scarlett to play chess with her.



But after losing several games in a row, Grandma began to act shamelessly. "No, no, no. My eyesight
is poor now, so I moved the wrong piece. I'm going to redo my move!"



Scarlett just let Grandma redid her move and just smiled at her. "Grandma, take a good look at the
pieces before you make a move this time."



Grandpa shook his head, sighed, and held Grandma's hand. "How could you still be so childish at our
age? You're making Scarlett coax you!"



Grandma glared at him and asked, "Am I not allowed to do so?"





"Fine, fine. Do whatever you want." Grandpa immediately conceded and just clammed up beside
Grandma.



We spent time together until eleven in the evening.



Seeing that Grandma was getting sleepy, I asked one of the servants to help the elders

go upstairs and put them to bed.



"Grandma is so adorable. She's like a child sometimes," Scarlett remarked as she put the chess pieces
into the box. Even her eyes were smiling. She looked so beautiful.



Meanwhile, I just gazed at her in silence.



Scarlett looked back at me, visibly confused. Soon, she leaned back, wary of me. "What's the matter
with you?"





I held her hand, pulled her towards me, and sat her on my lap. Then, I placed my arms around her
waist, rubbed my cheeks against hers, and said, "It's late. We should go to bed."



"Charles, stop it." Scarlett's face gradually became red.



It was then that I kissed her affectionately.



"I… I'm gonna take a shower!" Blushing, she pushed me away, sprang to her feet, and ran upstairs.



I chuckled as I followed behind her.



Inside the bedroom, Scarlett was taking her pajamas to the bathroom.



But before she could even open the bathroom door, I held her hand and embraced her from behind.
"Scarlett," I whispered.



"What… what are you doing?" Scarlett stammered. 'She's so adorable!' I remarked inwardly.





I kissed her earlobe and said, "Let's take a shower together."



Scarlett tensed up and didn't respond.



As I held her in my embrace, it was hard to resist the urge to breathe her presence in. I could feel my
Adam's apple bobbing up and down.



Gently, I turned her towards me, so that we would stand face to face. I kissed her lips and asked, "Is it
okay?"



Scarlett nodded affirmatively.



I opened the door behind her and entered the bathroom while kissing her.



Scarlett's POV:



After we finished showering, I lay on the bed as though I had lost my very soul.





At this time, my phone vibrated on the bedside table. Upon checking it, I saw that I had received a
message from Alice. "Scarlett, am I going to have a granddaughter soon?"



Before I could even respond, Charles lay down beside me and embraced me. I could feel his pecs
against my back. Not long after, I heard his bewitching voice. "Tell Mom not to be so hasty. If she wants
to have a granddaughter, she'll have to wait a few more years."



I rolled my eyes at him. "You peeped at my messages again."



"I didn't mean to look at it. I saw it by accident," Charles replied while kissing me.



I scoffed at him and saw that another message had popped up. It was from Vivian. "Scarlett, what
would you do if your man's mother doesn't like you? Will you leave him or insist on staying by his
side?"



I frowned when I read the message. "I'm afraid Gemma is getting involved with Spencer and Vivian's
relationship," I said to Charles.



"Just leave them alone," he replied. His response was followed by a slightly cold touch on my waist. He
slid his hands into my pajamas and gently caressed my skin.





I held his hand and said, "But…"



Obviously, Charles wasn't in the mood to discuss this matter. Not wanting me to say another word, he
kissed me, pulled my hand, and placed it on his chest. I could feel his heart racing.



"Baby, I promise this will be the last time today." Charles was looking at me with a burning desire in his
eyes.



My heart seemed to have stopped beating all of a sudden. I couldn't take my eyes off him, and I slowly
gave into my desire to have sex with him.
