Chapter 463: Let’s Remarry

Simon’s POV:

I went back to the banquet hall, feeling dejected.

The cruise ship was slowly making its way to shore.

Even the guests had begun to leave.

The once vibrant atmosphere of the cruise ship returned to tranquility.I kept on seeing Caroline, naked
in Charles’ arms in my head.

The image began to stir a rage in my heart that I had never felt before.

It felt as though there was a heavy stone atop my heart, and I could hardly breathe.

Edward approached me with a smile on his face.

"Simon, did your proposal of marriage go well? Has my daughter agreed to marry you?" he asked.

I clenched my fists and said through gritted teeth, "Caroline slept with Charles!"

.

"What?" Edward was shocked.

Without even waiting for his response, I stormed off the cruise ship.

All I could feel now was anger and disbelief that this happened to me.

I poured blood, sweat and tears into preparing that beautiful proposal, but in the end, Charles ruined
my plan..



I tried my best to calm down and decided to send Vanessa a message.

"Are you free right now? Let’s go out for a drink."

Seconds later, she replied, "Sure." I put away my phone and drove to the bar.

Once I was at the bar, I ordered several shots of whiskey.

The shot glasses were lined up in a row and I drank them one after another.

The whiskey tasted bitter, but it could never be as bitter as my heart.I felt like my heart was being
grilled on fire.

The burning sensation gradually overwhelmed me, and soon, I felt numb.

"Simon, what happened to you?" Vanessa asked worriedly.

"I was going to propose to Caroline today, but that damned Charles ruined my plan!" I replied, laughing
at myself.

Though I knew that Caroline still had feelings for that bastard, I was still devastated when I saw them
together.

"Simon, you’re hammered.I’m cutting you off," Vanessa remarked, visibly concerned.

She then tried to take my liquor away from me.

I dodged and bent over the counter in pain.

All I wanted to do right now was to hide the vulnerability and sadness in my eyes.



"Caroline lied to me! She told me that it was impossible for her and Charles to get back together and
that she’s willing to try being with me.She gave me so much hope, but in the end, she destroyed that
spark of hope herself.I can’t accept this!"

Vanessa patted me on the shoulder and responded, "Simon, this isn’t your fault.Don’t blame yourself."

"Am I so inferior to Charles? That asshole took her for granted and hurt her deeply.But for some
reason, she still couldn’t forget him!"

I slammed the shot glass onto the bar counter; my eyes, glinting with resentment.

"Simon, you haven’t known Caroline for a long time.How are you so sure that she’s your one true
love?" asked Vanessa ome rea Her question stunned me and I had no idea how to respond.

She’s right.Do I really love Caroline or am I just infatuated with her?’ My mind became chaotic.

I pondered and pondered, but I still couldn’t come up with a definitive answer.

"Since you can’t figure it out yet, go ahead and keep drinking.Simon, you are an excellent man.You’re
smart, charming, kind hearted, and there’s so much more to you than all of that.Lots of women would
probably throw themselves at you given the chance!"

Vanessa also raised her glass and gulped her whiskey down. I chuckled at her remark and gulped
down the rest of my alcohol.

Gradually, both she and I got even drunker.

Once we were done drinking, we helped each other out of the bar and hailed a cab by the roadside.

When I dropped Vanessa off at her house, she held my hand and wouldn’t let go.

As I looked into her charming eyes, I somehow couldn’t resist her.I just let her lead me into her house.



She took me to the bed and pressed her supple body against mine.I could feel the warmth of her
breath.

The sweet fragrance of her body amalgamated with the smell of liquor.

By now, I was completely drunk.I turned over and pinned her to the bed with my knees.I held her face
up and kissed her soft lips.

Vanessa put her arms around my neck and kissed me back.

She was so sexy and enchanting.

Soon, I was immersed in her beauty and could no longer resist her.

Caroline’s POV:

The next morning, I woke up feeling relaxed.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a pair of deep eyes.

"Are you awake?"

Charles was leaning against the pillow, staring right at me.His fiery gaze made me feel like I was
melting.

Scenes of what happened to us last night flashed through my mind like a flood.

I was both surprised and embarrassed.

‘I took the initiative to kiss Charles! To make matters worse, I even had sex with him!’ When I looked
down, I found myself lying completely naked on the bed.To top it off, he had left countless of hickeys on
my body.I could still hear his moaning in my ears.Soon, I began blushing.



"Caroline, you still love me, don’t you?" Charles whispered in my ear.

"No, I don’t! Last night was a mistake."

My face turned grim and the burning sensation gradually dissipated.

"Caroline, please give me one more chance," he pleaded.

He then got on top of me and pressed me under his body, wrapping his arms around me.

The way he looked at me with those pleading eyes looked so charming.

And as I stared back at him, my heart started beating like a drum.

All of a sudden, sadness flooded into my heart and I felt choked.I soon began to weep.

"You don’t even remember what happened between us before.How can you still ask for my
forgiveness?"

"Caroline, even though I lost my memory, my body still remembers you," Charles replied.

"That’s just a normal physiological reaction.You slept with Raina, remember? She’s beautiful and really
sexy!"I scoffed.

In all honesty, I was too focused on the fact that he had wronged me that I didn’t realize that I sounded
so jealous.

Charles chuckled, leaned closer, and planted a kiss on my forehead.

"You’re the only one I’ve ever slept with.Do you have any idea how miserable I was ever since you
disappeared?"



His husky voice sounded so sincere and affectionate.

My heart raced as I looked at him in disbelief.

‘He’s never slept with Raina? How is that possible?’ Though I was taken by surprise, I still remained
composed.

"Who knows if you’re lying or not?"

"It seems that I went too easy on you last night.Do you want to enjoy having sex with me again?"

Charles removed the sheet, revealing his naked body.I quickly grabbed the sheet and wrapped myself
in it.

"Stop it!" I blurted out, staring at him nervously.I knew better than anyone just how hard he fucked me
last night.

Just looking at Charles’ face made my heart ache.

‘God, I’m so spineless.This is so upsetting! After hearing his explanation, I knew that all the indifference
I showed him and my disguise had been torn down.

I truly hated myself for being so weak.

Aside from that, I hated Charles for always messing with my heart.

He sighed, wiping the tears from the corner of my eyes.

"Caroline, if you keep crying, I won’t let you go home," he warned.



"Are you blackmailing me again? What bargaining chip are you going to use this time?" My face turned
grim and I became wary of him at once.

I used to be at Charles’ mercy because I was a powerless woman.It was nigh impossible for me to
resist him.

But now, I was no longer the weak woman I used to be.

Nobody could push me around anymore! Charles chuckled at my response.

"Don’t mistake my intention.I just don’t want to see you cry.My heart breaks every time I see you
shedding tears."

His deep gaze made me feel as though he was staring into my very soul.

"Save your sweet words for another woman.They won’t work on me!"

"If you’re going to keep talking nonsense, I wouldn’t mind fucking you again."

The smile on his face disappeared and his eyes became sullen.I was immediately silenced.

"Good girl."

Charles brushed my hair and leaned over to kiss me.

However, I pushed him away at once.

"Next time, you won’t be able to sleep with me so easily," I snorted, got dressed, and was about to
leave.

But the second I reached the door, he blocked my path.



"What are you doing?" I asked impatiently.

"Caroline, let’s get married again."

"Ha! You wish!" I shot him a glare, pushed his arm away and walked on.

"You forgot this."

Charles put a document into my arms with a smile on his face.

As I stared at the file, I felt conflicted.

"Are you really going to give up the custody of the kids?" I asked in disbelief.

"I want you to see just how sincere I am.Caroline, I hope you’ll think about my proposal carefully.I want
to get remarried to you.No matter how long it takes, I’m willing to wait for your answer," Charles
promised.

After a long silence, I finally left with the document.

Once I left the room, Elena walked up to me.

"Ma’am, Mr.Wilson has been waiting for you at home for a long time."
