Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett's POV: 

I was instantly sobered up, and I shot a cold glance at the man before me.

Charles met my frigid gaze, seemingly confused.

"Mr.Moore's car broke down nearby," said Janet.

"Take me back to the apartment first," I said.

In all honesty, I'd rather not speak to Charles, so I just closed my eyes and took a nap after giving a command to my bodyguards.

It was so quiet inside the car that I had forgotten that Charles was there.

Moments later, I felt someone holding my hand, and this person's hand was warmer than usual.

"Do you have a fever?" I asked, frowning at him.

However, Charles ignored my question.

He just locked his eyes on my hand and gently stroked my fingers.

Only then did I realize what he was actually doing.

I wanted to withdraw my hand and attempt to hide it, but he had already noticed it.

"Where's your ring?" he asked, sounding calm; but to me his tone was frightening.

Instinctively, I covered my fingers, but I accidentally grabbed his hand instead.

We locked eyes with each other at the same time.

While he was distracted, I quickly withdrew my hand and leaned against the car door.

"I lost it," I said perfunctorily.

"I see.Where'd you lose it?" he answered.

I could tell that Charles was burning with anger based on how he was looking at me as if he would swallow me alive.

'Why is he so mad about the ring? Is it even important now that we're divorced?' 

"If I knew where I lost it, I would've went back to search for it already," I said in a voice laced with sarcasm.

"Find it," he commanded.

"Charles, don't forget that I'm the one who bought the rings.Now that we're divorced, the rings have lost their meaning.You should also return your ring to me," I replied.

The way I looked at him now displayed just how indifferent I was towards him.

And I was emboldened by the fact that I was inebriated.I reached out my hand to him, as it provoking him.

"Stop the car!"

The moment Charles blurted that out, the driver floored the brakes.

Janet and Tracy, both of whom who swore to protect me all the time, didn't even look at me.

They opened the door and got off the car, leaving me to deal with Charles' rage.

"Scarlett, our rings represent a lifelong promise! How could you lose yours so carelessly?"

For some reason, his eyes showed his vulnerability in the way he was looking at me right now.

"A lifelong promise, you say? That's rich coming from you.You didn't even hesitate when you took off your ring!"

I didn't want to show him a shred of mercy, so I stared daggers at him.

"That's because you don't trust me.Scarlett, listen to me.I'm not here to argue with you today.Right now, we're all in danger.My only wish is for you and James to be safe and sound,"

Charles said with a bitter smile.
