Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett's POV: 

It was late at night, but try as I might, I still couldn't fall asleep.I tossed and turned restlessly in bed, feeling very conflicted.

A gust of wind suddenly blew over.I looked up by instinct and realized that the door of the nursery wasn't closed properly.I stood up and walked over to close the door.

All of a sudden, a dark figure appeared outside, scaring the wits out of me.

"You…?"

Before I could react, the dark figure suddenly took me in his arms.

In that instant, a familiar unique scent entered my nose.

It was Charles's smell.

"Charles…? You're back?"

He did not reply to me.

Instead, he took me by the hand and entered the room.

"Don't wake James up," I said in a low whisper.

"I'm here to see my wife."

Charles let go of my hand and took a seat on the sofa in the nursery.

He threw something in his hand aside, which I found to be a bag with a rope in it.Why… why did Charles bring a rope? 

"Charles, you're drunk.You need to go back to the master bedroom and sleep."

"Scarlett, you're so gentle.Are you smiling at me?"

To my surprise, Charles reached out his hand to stroke my face gently.

"Exactly how much did you drink tonight? Did you drink with Lucia?"

I couldn't stop myself from asking that question.

Envisioning how intimate Charles and Lucia could have been when they fed each other wine with their lips was enough to drive me insane.

"Who's Lucia? I… I don't know her.Scarlett… your face is so smooth."

Charles continued to touch my face, ignoring my question.

"Lucia's the woman you insisted on sponsoring!"

I didn't want him to change the topic.

"I don't care about other women.I just want you."

With that, Charles grabbed my hand and pulled me to the sofa.

"I drank with Spencer tonight.He said he'd get me drunk.But look, I'm still sober."

He then put my hand on his chest, letting me feel his heartbeat.

"Okay, okay.You're the best." My voice softened, despite myself.
