Scarlett's POV:
Charles finally loosened his grip.
"Grandma and Grandpa's health is declining because of what's happening between us.It's not my intention to postpone our divorce," he explained in a low voice.
My knees buckled, and I felt my body collapse as he finally let go of me.
I slid down the door and unconsciously touched my painful neck while coughing relentlessly.
"You can pretend to be with Spencer.If Grandpa and Grandma see that you're happy, they won't be worried about our divorce."
My brain was still muddy because of the lack of oxygen.
I did not answer him as I was appalled about what he had just done.
However, something suddenly occurred to me.
Every time I went to the Moore family's mansion, Michael and Christine would treat me warmly.
I felt a pang in my heart at the thought of this.
The two old couple had been treating me as their own granddaughter ever since I lost my parents.
If something happened to them because of me, I would not be able to expiate my guilt, even if I died a hundred times.
"Spencer grew up with me.I know him very well.He's better than those men you've met outside,"
Charles stated, his voice gentle and pleasant for some reason.
"Are you saying that I can divorce you as long as I listen to you?" I asked inquisitively while looking into his eyes.
My neck felt less painful now than it was a while ago.
"Be with Spencer for a while.We'll finalize our divorce once Grandpa and Grandma are no longer worried."
Charles saw the eagerness in his eyes.
He glanced at me with an inexplicable look on his face and then looked away.
"Fine.I'll do as you say," I answered.
"Spencer will pick you up after work from tomorrow."
"Okay."
We had finally reached a consensus.
With that, I stood up to leave, but my legs were too weak.
Charles reached out his hand to help me.
I took it, but the next second, we fell to the floor together.
His body pressed against mine.
I could feel his warm body through my thin clothes.
Even his breath was hot.
He was still burning with fever.
With all my remaining strength, I pushed him as hard as I could.
"Charles, what-what are you doing?"
"Hmm..."
Charles looked at me with dazed eyes.
To my surprise, he angled my head and kissed me.
He pressed his soft lips onto mine, and his hot tongue made its way into my mouth.
He was very gentle yet overwhelming.
