Bye, My Irresistible Love

Christine's POV: 

As Charles' grandmother, I was naturally worried about his relationship with Scarlett.

They already had their own child, and yet they couldn't make up even after so long.It was like they weren't even aware that they were parents already! 

"Mom, they have their own lives to live, and we shouldn't interfere with that.Just give them some more time.Charles is my son and I know him well.I'm sure he'll make up with Scarlett in the end." Alice put the peeled orange into my hand and tried to comfort me.

"I hope you're right." I let out a deep sigh.

The following moment, the butler walked in a hurried pace and bowed to me.

"Mrs.Lively is here to see you."

"Which Mrs.Lively?"

‘'Have I become too old for this? Why can't I remember I have a friend with that last name?'’ I wondered.

"It's Susan Lively, Madame.Mr.Nate Lively's wife," answered the butler.

Upon hearing that, Alice and I exchanged glances.We were clearly thinking of the same thing.We were reluctant to meet with Susan.However, I still nodded.

"Send her in."

After receiving the order, the butler left.

"She's probably here for something evil.Why do you bother meeting with her?" Alice asked, visibly confused.

I ate a piece of the orange and said, "Eh, I've a long and boring day, dear.I'm sure Susan will provide us with some much needed entertainment to pass the time."

Soon, Susan came in.Her clothes were neat and decent, but they were obviously a style from a different era.She had become pale and gloomy, which was worlds different from how she used to be.

"Ah, Susan! Long time no see.Why do you look so haggard?" Alice asked politely, gesturing Susan to take a seat.

After greeting us with a nod, Susan replied, "There have been too many things lately.Nate is in prison right now, and Lily has been coming to my house, causing trouble from time to time.What's worse is that the Lively Group is in crisis.It's been a troubling time for me.Each day that I wake up, I have to face so many problems at once."

Alice put on a smile.

"Maybe it's karma." Susan was taken aback.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she got down on her knees before us.

"Believe me when I say this, I really feel guilty for what happened in the past.Please, give us a chance to atone for our sins! Help us!"

I leaned against the sofa and snorted, "Do we look like fools to you? Why in the world should we help you? Have you forgotten what you've done to Charles and Scarlett?"

"We will never do that again! I swear, I won't let Rita trouble them again!"

Susan shook her head, seemingly desperate.

Alice scoffed at her.

"Nate made the same promise to me, but look at how things turned out!"

"Susan, do you really believe that Rita will listen to you? Much like her father, she's an impenitent little cunt.Back then, Nate tried to rape Scarlett's mother.Fortunately, we arrived in time to prevent that tragedy from happening!"

The more I spoke, the angrier I became.
