Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett's POV: 

After dinner, William and I chatted all the way to the parking lot.

While we were walking, my car, which was being driven by Janet, stopped in front of me.I turned to William to say goodbye, but I saw that his face had turned dark and gloomy.

"I forgot to call my driver.I shouldn't have drunk," he said glumly.

"Still, you can call your driver now," I reminded him.

William looked at me and sighed.

"Actually, I'm meeting someone later.I'm afraid I'll be running late if I call my driver over now.Would you be so kind as to give me a ride? Our meeting place isn't far from here."

I was hesitant at first, but I agreed in the end.

William got into my car and told Janet the address.

Just as he had said, it was not that far.His eyes were glued to his phone along the way.

Neither of us spoke the whole ride.

A few moments later, we stopped at a red light, and a brightly lit ice cream parlor caught my attention.I had seen many netizens' recommendations for this shop.They said that it was a nice place to hang out. William must have sensed what I was thinking.

"Do you want to go there?" he asked with a gentle smile.

I shook my head.

"I don't think now's the right time.You're meeting someone, remember? Let's get you there first."

William raised his phone and explained, "Well, the person I'm meeting will arrive an hour later.Flight delays.Why don't we eat ice cream first?"

Well, it was not a bad idea, so I nodded in agreement.

I turned to look at Janet and said, "Let's go to the ice cream store."

We sat by the window and chatted while we ate ice cream.

William was very knowledgeable.

Apparently, he had been to many countries.And now, he was telling me enthusiastically the fascinating things he had encountered abroad.

"I envy you.You've traveled the world," I said with a sigh, Charles shrugged.

"You can do it too."

"Sadly, I have lots of things to worry about, so I can't just go."

I took a spoonful of ice cream and put it into my mouth absentmindedly.

"Scarlett…" William called me.

I looked up and looked into his eyes.

"What is it?"

"You're so careless.Look.You have ice cream at the corner of your mouth."

Then a hand wiped the melted ice cream off my mouth, and the warmth of his hand brought me back to my senses.

My heart fluttered wildly in my chest.I raised my head and saw Charles standing beside me.

"Charles, what are you doing here?" I asked, bewildered.

I uttered these words, I realized that I had said them so
