Chapter 349

Misunderstanding

Scarlett’s POV: Vivian asked me to join her for a drink at the Mint Bar, so I headed there after work.

Once I arrived there, I walked into the private room, and sat down between Vivian and Icey. “I can’t stay
here for too long. I have to leave in a few minutes. I’m worried about the children.”

“Ever since you gave birth to your kids, you don‘t even have time to have dinner with your friends.
When I see you like this, I don’t even want to have kids in the future,” Icey grumbled. “I don’t want a
baby now, either.” Seeing us talk about kids, Vivian suddenly became sad. Noticing that they were so
against the idea of having kids, I teased them with a smile, “You won’t think the same way once you
find out that you‘re pregnant.” Pregnant women only cared about their baby, and would do everything in
their power to bring their babies into the world safely and healthily.

“Scarlett, it’s really you! I almost couldn’t recognize you because of your new haircut!” Spencer walked
in with a surprised look. I gave him a faint smile. He sat down at our table, but he was not sitting next to
Vivian. “Vivian, did you and Spencer have a fight? Why is he sitting so far away from you?” Icey
whispered curiously in Vivian‘s ear. “Hey! Don‘t try to sow dissension between us! Vivian and I are still
on good terms!” Spencer glared at Icey, pouting “Spencer, did you come here to see Vivian?” I asked.
“Didn‘t you know? Nicholas Wood is holding a birthday party here. So Charles is also here. And he has
brought Jerry with him too!” “What?” I frowned, looking at him in surprise. “Jerry is less than a year old.
Why would Charles bring him to a birthday party? What would an infant eat here?” Both Vivian and Icey
were also stunned. “Sorry, but I have to go now.” Sensing the awkward atmosphere at the table,
Spencer came up with an excuse to leave.

I felt a little uneasy. Charles had told me that he would only be back the next night, so why did he come
in advance? He even brought Jerry to Nicholas’ birthday party. Recalling what Charles had told me
before, tears welled up in my eyes. He had said that he wanted Nancy to be the stepmother of my kids.



• I stepped out to ask the waiter where Nicholas’ birthday party was being held. As soon as I opened
the door, I saw Nancy coaxing Jerry at a distance. Seeing that, my heart ached. “Excuse me.” I
knocked on the door, staring at her. The moment she saw me, she held Jerry tightly in her arms. And
her sudden reaction caused Jerry to burst into tears. Seeing that, Charles snapped, “Let go of him!
Who allowed you to touch him?” “Nancy didn‘t mean to hurt Jerry. She was just playing with him.
Please don‘t take it to heart,” Nicholas explained at once. When I looked into Nancy‘s tearful eyes, I
found it a bit ridiculous. I saw what she was just trying to do, and I did not believe that she was doing it
as a joke. “Get out of my way!” I walked up to her immediately Seeing her pretending to be weak and
innocent, I felt disgusted. I took Jerry in my arms and coaxed him softly, “Baby, don‘t cry. It‘s all right.”



Jerry began to sob as he lay in my arms. I pitied him and felt angry.

“Nancy, if you like kids, then you should have your own. You have no right to touch mine!” Nancy
seemed to want to argue with me, but she looked a little scared. “Scarlett, it is really just a
misunderstanding. Nancy never meant to hurt him.” Standing in front of Nancy, Nicholas defended her.

“That doesn’t matter. As an adult, she should know better. Do you really think that your sister deserves
to have everything good in the world for herself?” I sneered before I walked out of there, holding my
son. 2 Charles’ POV: son.

When I saw Scarlett leave with Jerry, I knew that she was angry, so I immediately stood up and
followed her.

“Keep your sister under control. And if you can‘t, then don‘t blame me for being ruthless!” I warned
Nicholas with a sneer before I headed out.

“Charles, I...” Just when he was about to explain something, I interrupted him coldly.



“I am here because someone told me that Scarlett would be here tonight. I didn’t come here for Nancy!
Do you understand?” And I only brought Jerry with me, because I wanted to use him as an excuse to
go back home with Scarlett.

So I never thought that she would misunderstand me. Recalling the cold look in her eyes, I couldn‘t
help but feel regretful and anxious. By then, Scarlett had already got in the car with Jerry, and was
about to leave. I hurried over to stop them. Janet stopped the car quickly, and I motioned her to get off.
“Let me drive you home first. This is not the right place to quarrel,” I pleaded. Scarlett’s eyes were still
cold, but I was glad that she did not refuse me. Breathing a sigh of relief, I hurried over to the driver’s
seat. Soon, we arrived at Garden Street.

But the second I parked the car, Scarlett got off the car, holding Jerry in her arms.

Before I even closed the door, I ran after them.

“Scarlett, please give me a chance to explain.” “There is no need for you to explain anything.” After
saying those cold words to me, she continued to walk with Jerry. I grabbed her wrist. “Mr. and Mrs.
Moore, Jerry will catch a cold if he stays outside for a long time, so let me take him inside first.” Janet
stepped forward. Feeling helpless, Scarlett gave the baby to her. Once we were alone, I held Scarlett.
She struggled hard to break free from my embrace, but she couldn‘t. “Charles, can you let go of me?”
Afraid that I might annoy her, I loosened my grip at once. “Scarlett, I didn‘t go to the party for Nancy.”
“Why are you saying this to me? Is it even necessary for me to know?” Her coldness was making my
heart ache.

“I just don’t want you to misunderstand me again,” I explained patiently. “How is it going to make things
any different? We are separated after all,” Scarlett said indifferently, lowering her head. Her words
made me feel like she had really removed me from her world. “Scarlett, your words are really hurting
me, you know?” I smiled bitterly. For some reason, I kept feeling like the distance between us was



growing bigger and bigger. “Scarlett, I didn’t go there to find a stepmother for our sons.” “Charles, you
don’t have to explain anything to me. You just need to remember what you promised me.” Scarlett
smiled casually.

And just before I was about to leave, she added, “Since you have already seen the kids this week, you
don’t have to come tomorrow.” “Scarlett, I haven’t seen the other two though!” I hurried to habitually
grab her wrist.
