Bye, My Irresistible Love

Charles’ Pov:

After breakfast, Caroline and I drove James to the kindergarten.

On the way, James whispered in my ear, “Daddy, I heard Mommy talking to a man on the phone last night.” 

“Which man?”

Caroline barred me from sleeping in her room, but she had the time to call another man at night. The longer I thought about it, the unhappier I was. I gripped the steering wheel tightly, the green eyed monster in my chest reigning supreme. 

“The man he’s referring to is Diego. You hit the poor man and I had to apologize to him,” Caroline explained with a helpless shrug. From my periphery, I glanced at her before snorting derisively. 

“Why are you apologizing to him? If he didn’t get fresh with you, I wouldn’t have asked someone to beat him up.”

“He didn’t get fresh with me. He helped me up out of kindness. If it weren’t for him, I would have fallen.” Caroline glared at me and turned her head to the other side as if she didn’t want to talk to me. 

I turned the steering wheel irritably but said nothing. I was well aware of the fact that I could be very possessive where Caroline was concerned, but I just couldn’t stand the idea of other men getting close to her. Besides, it was obvious that Diego had ulterior motives. 

James asked curiously, “Mommy, who is Diego?”

“He is Mommy’s colleague, a very handsome one in fact.” Caroline turned to James and answered with a twinkle in her eye.

“Handsome? Is he more handsome than Daddy?” 

After chewing on her answer, he finally blurted the question. Caroline was silent for two seconds. She looked at my face for a while and concluded, “He is younger than your father.” 

These words were like a torrent, completely drowning my reason. Before I had even fully thought it through, my foot was already slamming down hard on the brake. The sound of rubber tires screeching against the ground as we came to a sudden stop cut through James’ sentence. 

The bodyguards following our car also braked and hurried out of their car. In seconds flat, they surrounded my car and looked around vigilantly. James gripped the seat belt and asked nervously, “Daddy, what’s wrong? Is there any bad guy?”

“There are no bad guys. Sit back down,” I retorted sharply, my cold gaze focused solely on Caroline. 

The sudden brake caught her by surprise. She was shoved forward by the car’s suddenly stopping before the seatbelt stopped her forward momentum. Her face turned pale and she turned towards me nervously. 

“Why did you stop in the middle of the road?”
