Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 36: Christine Fainted 

Scarlett's POV: 

"Then sign it."

The lawyer sighed and pushed the divorce agreement to me.

I picked up the fountain pen, turned to the last page, and signed my name.Then, I pushed the divorce agreement to Charles, looked into his bloodshot eyes, and said, "It's your turn."

"You seem pretty eager to get rid of me, don't you?" Charles asked through gritted teeth.

"I don't see why we should delay it any longer." I put the pen in his hand.

Charles clicked his teeth and slammed the pen on the table.

"But I don't like to be dominated by others!" I stared at him with wide eyes.

What did he mean? Was he insane? He was the one who proposed the divorce.

How was he the dominated one in this scenario? Was I wrong to go along with his delaying tactics all this time? 

"Charles, we don't have all day, and we're not the only ones with business here.Other people are waiting outside.Just sign the damn papers."

Next thing I knew, Rita was walking over to us and handing Charles the pen.

Judging from the anxious expression on her face, I could tell that among the three of us, she was the one suffering the most at the moment.

Charles clenched his fists and refused to take the pen.

He did not even raise his head to look at Rita.

He just fixed his cold eyes on me.

The lawyer swept his gaze on the three of us and then smiled meaningfully as if he understood what was happening.

"Charles, please..." Rita begged in a broken voice.

I bet she would give anything right now to be able to sign the papers for Charles.

Then, my phone rang and broke the silence.

It was Alice calling.

At the same time, Charles's phone rang.

Michael was calling him.

What was going on? Why were Alice and Michael calling us? As a million bad things raced through my head, my heart burst into a full gallop.

I picked up.

"Hello, mom? What's up? What? Grandma was rushed to the hospital?"

"I'll be right there."

Charles and I hung up almost at the same time.

Then, he grabbed my hand and towed me out of the law office.

"Charles!"
