Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett's POV: 

A slight frown appeared on Charles's face as though Alice had already asked too many questions.

"Fine.I won't ask you anymore.As for the divorce, I suggest you think it through again.But, you know, it'll be great if Scarlett gets pregnant while you're at it,"

Alice hurriedly said with a shrug.

"Alice, I just came here to get my face treated.It's not what you think,"

I quickly explained, not wanting Alice to misunderstand me more.

After fighting with the buttons for a long time, I finally buttoned them up.

"You don't have to explain.I'm the one who should apologize.I didn't know you both returned here last night.But, you don't have to be shy about it.That's normal for a man and woman, after all.Besides, you two are a legal couple.You're free to do anything you want."

Alice admitted her faults but still did not let the matter go.

Truth be told, I felt an urge to cry when I heard what she had said.

Charles and I had already made up our minds about the divorce.

But now, Alice misunderstood what was happening between us again.

What should I do now? Anxious, I grabbed Charles's hand and asked him, "Please tell mom that we've already agreed to divorce yesterday."

However, Charles merely withdrew his hand and rested his head on it.

He then looked at me blankly and acted as if this was none of his business.

This made my blood boil.

I wanted to beat him right then and there, but there was nothing else I could do but hold my anger.

Flustered, I turned my face away from him.

It was then that Alice caught sight of the palm print on my face.

"Scarlett, what happened to your face? Oh my God! Charles, did you beat her? You jerk! How could you do that?!"

Alice was fuming with anger as she thought that it was Charles who slapped me on the face.

"It wasn't me, but I've already taken care of it."

Charles held my chin and gently turned my head to face him.

His high spirits did not seem to change at all.

At that moment, he opened the medical kit on the tea table and applied ointment to my face again.

My face no longer hurt as much as it did last night.
