Charles’s POV
I went to the Mint Bar in a bad mood and headed straight for one of the VIP rooms. I started drinking like there was no tomorrow as soon as I sat down. After a few moments, Spencer came in.
“So, it’s really you. I thought I mistook somebody else for you. Aren’t you supposed to be at a dinner party? Why are you here?”
“I didn’t go,” I muttered and gulped down another glass of whiskey. Spencer came over and sat next to me.
After pouring himself a drink, he began to tease me.
“Did you go see Scarlett and the kids?” I paused at the question. Damn, was I that obvious?
“No.”
“Don’t be stubborn.”
“Don’t be nosy,” I backfired and continued to drown my sorrows in alcohol.
“I heard Nina helped you keep Scarlett,” Spencer commented, raising his eyebrows.
“Scarlett couldn’t leave anyway, so technically, Nina had nothing to do with her staying. She just calmed her down.” Spencer played with his glass and stared at me solemnly.
“Charles, as your friend, I have to remind you not to be complacent with your arrangement with Scarlett. She‘s still a flight risk, and if she succeeds on running away with the children one day, then you‘ll be left alone, maybe even for the rest of your life.”
“Running away with the children?” I sneered.
“And where would she go?”
“Don‘t forget that William is still obsessed with her,” Spencer reminded me. William. That wife-stealing bastard. I scoffed and downed another drink.
“By the way, why is there no news about William lately? Didn‘t he use to appear wherever Scarlett was before?” Spencer asked curiously.
“I don‘t know, and I don‘t care,” I shrugged and then glanced at Spencer.
Spencer raised his voice and looked at me
