Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 555: Sweet Talk 

Charles' POV: 

Caroline and I's room was the first place I went to when I arrived home after a long exhausting day at work.I was dying to see her, but there were no traces of her inside when I entered.

Still, I reminded myself not to overreact just yet.

My family knew me well, so they would undoubtedly inform me immediately if Caroline suddenly left.

After placing my leather bag on the side table, I headed straight to Jessica's room.

Caroline, of course, was there.She was leaning against the bed's headboard, looking at her phone with Jessica sleeping comfortably in her arms.

Not wanting to disturb my daughter's sleep, I walked toward the bedside silently and softly asked, "Are you going to sleep here tonight, Caroline?"

I waited for Caroline to look at me, but she didn't.

Sadly, her eyes remained focused on her phone screen as she replied, "Yes.Jessica might cry or get hungry in the middle of the night, so it would be better if I would stay by her side to breastfeed her."

Did she say breastfeeding? God, I wasn't naive! I knew that she only said that as an excuse to avoid me.I tried not to look upset, but I would be lying if I said I didn't get hurt.

Still, I composed myself, cleared my throat, and said, "How about we return to our room and bring Jessica with us? Our bed is more spacious, so she could sleep comfortably there."

"Charles, sleeping in the same bed is no longer appropriate since we will divorce soon.Or are you telling me to sleep there with Jessica while you stay here in her room?"

Caroline replied with hints of unwillingness and disgust painted all over her face.

Defenseless, I looked at her, utterly lost for words.Her stare had nothing but bold resistance, which scared me a bit.I had no idea how long Caroline and I had been staring at each other, but she only retracted her gaze when Jessica moved and cried.

She gently patted her frail body and coaxed her back to sleep.

"I don't mind sleeping on the sofa," I suggested, left with no choice.

However, Caroline remained reluctant.

She only diverted her gaze elsewhere and said, "You don't have to do that, Charles.Besides, aren't you feeling unwell? You better go to the other room and take a proper rest."

"Are you concerned about me, Caroline?" I asked, looking at her expectantly.

Something in her tone and words gave me the impression that she still cared about me.

Because of that, the hope in my heart grew stronger, giving me the courage to walk toward her closer.

"I'm sorry to break it to you, but that’s not the case at all.My children are still young, so I didn't want them to lose their father if you get sick," Caroline reasoned.

She shook her head openly, putting out the burning bits of hope in my heart.

All I could do, of course, was to stare at her shortly and leave eventually.

Dejected, I returned to our bedroom alone.I nestled in bed and continued to search for ways to keep my wife with me.I browsed various websites and scrolled endlessly, but I couldn't find any helpful information.

Upset, I threw my phone aside, put my hands behind my head, and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

The more I thought about Caroline leaving me, the more frustrated I became.

Helpless, I covered my face with a blanket and let my worries tuck me to sleep.

Just when I thought I could have a restful bedtime, I unexpectedly dreamt about Caroline and me settling the divorce.I didn't want to sign the divorce papers, but she cried in front of me.
