Bye, My Irresistible Love

Charles’s POV: 

Upon receiving a message from Janet that James was fine, I felt so much relief.

Then, I decided to give Scarlett a call. But when the call connected, the one who answered wasn’t the person I had been longing for.

“Oh, Charles! Scarlett is busy right now. Can I take the message?” asked Nina.

“James almost got kidnapped. Please tell Scarlett to be extra careful from now on. And tell her I’ll pick her up later,” I answered. Worry was apparent in the way I spoke.

“What the hell? How did that even happen? Alright, I’ll tell her everything you said.” Nina sounded horrified. And her normal cheery voice had become serious.

Once I hung up, I drove to the TV station to pick up Scarlett.

Upon entering the building, I saw her running towards me. I could see in her eyes just how worried she was.

“Charles, how is James? Is he hurt? Oh, my God! This is all my fault. I was feeling something bad might happen earlier, but I didn’t keep him company.” Scarlett was holding my sleeve, and her hurried voice showed just how agitated she was.

“There’s no need to blame yourself. James is fine. In fact, you’re the reason he’s safe, because you insisted on letting Janet and Tracy look after him.” I held her in my arms, stroking her hair in an attempt to comfort her.

I was relieved that Scarlett didn’t push me away this time. With trembling hands, she hold onto my waist as if she were holding onto dear life. 

“It’s going to be okay,” I muttered. Gently, I planted a kiss on her forehead and waited for her to calm down.

A few moments later, Scarlett finally stopped trembling. The moment she looked into my eyes, all frailty and hesitation she previously had were gone. 

“I want to see James,” she said. 

“Come on, then. I’ll take you home,” I replied with a nod.

Suddenly, Scarlett became tense as though she had realized something. She loosened her grip on my waist and backed away from me. 

“Sorry, I, um.. I was really terrified.”

My heart sank at her remark. Oh, how I’d missed how she always threw herself into my arms whenever she was scared and needed comfort. .

Not long after, I drove Scarlett back to my family’s house. The moment she disembarked from the car, she ran to James’ room at once.

I followed her closely and watched as she sat beside James’ crib, caressing his soft cheeks.

Our child was sound asleep and he had a lovely smile printed on his face.

Later on, Scarlett left the room. Strands of her hair were covering her face, making her look haggard. It was easy to tell that she was absolutely terrified.

“Are you okay?” I took a step closer to her, attempting to console her. However, I stopped in my tracks when I saw how she looked at me.
