Bye, My Irresistible Love

Helen’s POV:

As soon as I got home, I set my hunger aside and started cleaning up my apartment, especially the bedroom I had prepared for my mother.

Within a couple of hours I had a perfectly neat, presentable room.I was surprised at how much of waste I had hoarded in my apartment.

This was the third time that I dragged a trash bag downstairs to the trash can.

When I dusted my clothes and turned around, I saw George.He was leisurely leaning against his car.

The shadow of his tall figure was lengthened by the dim street light.His handsome face was slightly obscured by the darkness of the night.It was somewhat difficult to glean the expression on his visage.He slowly straightened up and walked up to me.

After stopping just one step away from me, he teased, "Are you enjoying the stench of the trash can?"

I quickly jolted back to my senses and moved away from the trash can.

His unexpected presence had ruffled me so much that I had even lost my sense of smell!

 "Are you here to see me?" I looked up at him with knitted eyebrows.

Our relationship had been under severe strain recently.

When we did meet occasionally in the company, he treated me like a total stranger.

Sometimes when we passed each other, he wouldn’t even spare a look at me.I couldn’t figure out what he was thinking.

Since he’d decided to treat me as a total stranger, he had no business getting involved in my private life.

That being said, why did he still come here from time to time? I just couldn’t fathom out this man.

"What are you doing?" George asked, ignoring my question.

He pointed at the waste I had deposited beside the trash can.

"Cleaning up the room."
