Bye, My Irresistible Love

Charles's POV: 

Scarlett phoned me and told me that Rita fainted and was now in the hospital.

I canceled all my meetings at work and rushed over there.

As soon as I walked into the room, Rita began explaining what happened, and she spoke as if she was afraid that I was going to blame Scarlett.

"Charles, please don't be angry with Scarlett.She didn't mean it."

Scarlett was standing by Rita’s bed with her arms crossed over her chest.She narrowed her eyes at Rita.

"She doesn't know how serious my condition is.Otherwise, she wouldn't have done what she did.Please don't blame her.She already regrets what happened."

"What are you talking about, Rita? I didn't do anything.You lost consciousness.Why are you talking like I made you faint or something? Get your story straight," Scarlett snapped.

"Why are you yelling at me? I'm defending you from Charles..."

Rita started sobbing.

Scarlett rolled her eyes and turned to me.

"Can you believe this woman?"

I did not say anything because I had no idea which of them was telling the truth.

Rita cried even more bitterly.

Scarlett looked at me with disappointment.

"Look, it doesn't matter whether you believe me or not, but you have to make it clear to her right now that you're the one delaying the divorce."

"Do you think I don't want a divorce? I'm just worried about what it will do to Grandma and Grandpa."

My patience finally ran out.

I just did not like it when Scarlett was being aggressive like this.

"Okay, I know what I should do now.I'll go out with Spencer so that Grandma and Grandpa can relax.And please keep your woman away from me.I can't have her messing with me while I'm trying to live in peace."

Scarlett's eyes were full of disappointment and contempt, and she spoke with the kind of finality that I had never heard in her voice before.

I watched her leave as I swallowed the words I meant to say.

She walked away without looking back.

I stayed with Rita in the hospital for a while and then went home.

To be honest, I did not believe that Scarlett would harm Rita.

She was not that kind of person.
