Farewell To My Endless Love
Chapter 435 I Can Explain

Simon's POV:

When I heard about what happened today from Elena, I immediately drove to see Caroline.

As soon as I got out of the car, I saw how lonely and sad Caroline was even though she had her back to me.

Heartbroken by this sight, I hurried over to her side, carrying several cans of beer.

I sat down next to her, and handed her an opened can of beer.

"Caroline, are you okay?"

Caroline took a sip of her beer; her eyes, filled with sadness.

"Simon, there's something about me that you don't know. My name used to be Scarlett. I've been married before, and I have three lovely children. Actually, there was four of them. It just so happened that the last child didn't get to see this world."

While she was speaking, her eyes turned red.

"Let bygones be bygones. You're no longer who you were in the past. You're Caroline now," I replied in an attempt to comfort her.

"I used to think that I've let go of the past, but it seems like I'm not that broad-minded." Caroline shook her head bitterly.

My heart ached when I saw how sad she was.

"Caroline, let me tell you something interesting."

"Oh? What would that be?"

Caroline turned her gaze towards me.

"Though I've met you for the first time just recently, I've seen a picture of your mother when I was a child," I said.

"How come you saw my mother's photo?" Caroline's eyes were widened in surprise.

"There's a photo of your mother in your father's study. I would often see it whenever I was playing there," I answered.

"I see." Caroline nodded.

I looked into her eyes with all the sincerity I could muster. "You look a lot like your mother. Back when I was a kid, I really thought she was so beautiful. I guess that's why I felt like you were so familiar. And that's probably also why I've liked you so much since the first time we met."

When I blurted out the last part of my sentence, my heart raced uncontrollably, and I could feel the tip of my ears burning up.

"Have you been living with my father ever since you were a boy?" asked Caroline.

I nodded and explained, "My father, Eason Felix, died when I was a child. That's why your father took me in."

"So our fathers know each other?"

I took a sip of beer and smiled at her. "I'll tell you all about it next time."

This time, she stopped asking questions.

Caroline stared at the sea in silence. It seemed that her mood had gotten a little better.

The mere sight of the side of her face made my heart skip a beat.

"Caroline, whatever decision you make, I'll support you," I said.

She smiled at me and said nothing.

Charles' POV:

As I watched Caroline walk away, I felt angry and upset.

Infuriated, I glared at Raina.

It took me so long just to mend my relationship with Caroline somehow. I never thought that all of those efforts would go to waste just because of Raina.

When I recalled the disappointment in Caroline's eyes before she left, I almost couldn't breathe.

"If you want Raina to live here, fine. I won't object."

Both Raina and my mother were surprised to hear that.

I sneered and continued, "But I won't come home before she's out of the house. Mom, take care of the kids for me."

"Charles, don't leave! I need to tell you something."

Raina seemed anxious and I could tell that she wanted to hold my hand.

Disgusted of her, I dodged her hands and turned my attention to James. "Son, I'm going to look for your mother and get her back. Stay at home and look afteryour brothers, okay? Be a goodboy." "Daddy, you need to apologize to Mommy sincerely. She's softhearted. I'm sure she'll forgive you," James whispered.

I nodded in response and left without looking back.

When I closed the door, the sound of Raina's sobbing and my Mom's voice faded.

As I walked out of the Moore mansion, I called Caroline again and again.

Sadly, she didn't answer any of my calls.

Upon hearing the mechanical voice over the phone, I was flustered. All I wanted to do right now was to explain everything to Caroline.

Once I had managed to compose myself, I drove down to Garden Street.

I took some of Scarlett's favorite clothes and accessories from the room, and went to her current residence.

As I looked at the stuff inside the bag, the uneasiness I felt diminished.

'Caroline is pretty mad at me. I don't think she'll want to see me. I need to come up with an excuse to see her first, and then I'll sort this whole mess out.' A bitter smile appeared on my lips.

I never noticed since when I had to come up with all sorts of excuses just to see her.

Upon my arrival at her house, her bodyguard, Elena, told me that Caroline still hadn't come home yet.

Confused, I frowned.

'It's already so late. Where could Caroline have gone?'

I decided to take out my phone to call her again.

Still, she didn't answer. My only option now was to wait for her at the door.

With every passing moment, I grew more anxious and irritable.

Just as I was about to call Richard to replace out Caroline's whereabouts, a car pulled over in front of the villa.

She and Simon got out of the car.

They were walking side by side like a couple.

Seeing them together got on my nerves.

I strode forward, grabbed Caroline's hand, and tried to pull her to my side.

Upon seeing what I did, Simon stood in front of her to protect her.

I glared at him and shouted, "Fuck off! This is between me and Caroline! This has nothing to do with you!"

"I'm courting Caroline. Her business is my business." Simon didn't back down.

I suppressed the urge to beat him up and just focused my attention on Caroline.

"Caroline, why did you come home so late? I was so worried about you."

"Sir, that has nothing to do with you," Caroline remarked, shaking off my hand.

My heart sank when I heard the way she addressed me.

"Of course, this has something to do with me! I've been waiting for you here for so long, but here I replace that you're with another man!" "Did I ever beg you to wait here?" she asked.

I was rendered speechless. To stifle my anger, I took a deep breath.

"Caroline, what happened earlier wasn't what it seemed like. I can explain. You don't have to use another man just to piss me off!"

"What do you mean by that? Do you think you deserve my attention enough for me to try and piss you off?"

Caroline shot me a cold glance, and then she held Simon's arm like it was a natural thing for her.

Everything she said over the phone at the hospital the other day came rushing to my mind. She said that she would give Simon a chance. "Caroline, are you with him now?" I asked in a trembling voice.

The thought of that possibility made me feel so uncomfortable that I found it hard to breathe.

"You and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. It's none of your business who I'm with, isn't that right?" asked Caroline.

As I looked into her cold eyes, I felt as though my heart had been pierced by a knife.

Suddenly, I lost my confidence. "Caroline, please forgive me. I had no idea that Raina would come to the Moore mansion. Mom was the one who made that decision, and she kept me in the dark about it!" "Your relationship with her has nothing to do with me."

Caroline scoffed at me before leaving with Simon.

As I watched them walk away, my head felt like it was being torn apart.

The severe pain stimulated my nerves.

Slowly, I bent down, holding my head tightly.

I tried to endure the pain, for I wanted to go after her.

But sadly, my legs wouldn't move.

At this time, a scene flashed through my mind.

Caroline was walking away with a man, side by side with him.

I wanted to see the man's face, but the more I thought about it, the more my head hurt.

That scene lingered in my mind.

My chest felt like it was tightening. I clutched it, frowning in confusion.

'Who was that man in my memory? Why was he so close to Caroline?

Richard never told me about it.

Am I just imagining things?'
