Bye, My Irresistible Love

Caroline's POV: 

Tiredness gradually crept into my body as soon as I got home.I thought a hot shower would wash away all my drowsiness, but it didn't, so I immediately nestled in bed afterward.I had been so busy today that I even struggled to keep my eyes open as they became heavy from exhaustion.

Still, my mind remained active for a moment.

Charles and I agreed to work on the divorce procedures a month after I gave birth.

Fortunately, days went by quickly, and baby Jessica was now one-month old.

So, perhaps, I could bring that topic up to him first thing in the morning.I was enjoying the comfort of my bed the next day when I felt something heavy on my belly, which jolted me awake.

When I looked down, I saw a muscular arm wrapped tightly around my waist.

Of course, this scent, grip, and arm only pointed to one man.It was Charles.

Annoyed, I pushed his arm away and tried to break free from his embrace.

However, Charles’ strength and mine differ significantly.He only tightened his grip, locked me in, and muttered, "Let's sleep some more."  

"Charles," I firmly called and used all my strength to escape from his arms.

Traces of displeasure filled Charles’ face as my struggle forcefully woke him up.

Nevertheless, his expression instantly softened upon meeting my gaze.He quickly sat up and looked at me with apologetic eyes as he said, "I'm sorry.I didn't know I fell asleep beside you because I was too tired when I got home last night."

"I'm warning you, Charles.Don't do that ever again.It isn't right," I replied, giving him a firm and warning look.

"Why can't I do that, though?" he asked, confused and displeased.

"Come on, Charles! You know precisely where my reluctance is coming from. Why? Did you bump your head somewhere that you forgot about your promise? Charles, a month has already passed!" I snapped in frustration.

Charles' expression instantly changed upon hearing what I said.

"I've actually forgotten about something.Yes, I have an important meeting today, so I'll talk to you later, okay?" he replied, completely dodging the situation.

He swiftly buttoned up his top and prepared to get out of bed.I wasn't born yesterday, so I could tell he was only making an excuse.

Infuriated, I glared at him and reminded him, "Charles, you promised me we'd continue the divorce proceedings in a month! I'm not sure when you have lost track of the date, but one month has already passed."

I was mad, and I bet I was as red as a tomato right now.Still, Charles only replied, "I don't feel like settling the divorce today.I mean, look! Even the weather doesn't seem right.Why don't we chill for now and deal with it some other day?"

"Charles!" I yelled as my last strand of patience had finally snapped.

I sat on the bed and looked at him angrily, saying, "Charles, can you stop making these lame excuses? What's so hard to understand about my desire to divorce?!"

I had intended to resolve our issues amicably, and I was beyond willing to cooperate with him as long as he did the same.But then I forgot what kind of person he was.I forgot that he never knew how to give in and cooperate.
