Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 348 My Son And I Are Both Neat Freaks 

Charles’ POV: After working for a whole day, I went back to the hotel, completely exhausted. Just as I was about to take a shower, I received a call.

I glanced at the phone’s screen and froze. It was a video call from Scarlett. It made me wonder if I was hallucinating. ‘Why is this heartless woman calling me?‘ The phone kept on ringing and the word “honey” continuously flashed on the screen. ‘Damn! It’s really Scarlett calling me!‘ I rushed into the bathroom and stared at myself in the mirror. I looked disheveled, haggard, and unpresentable. These days, I hadn‘t been paying attention to my appearance, and I hadn‘t even shaved my beard.

I wanted to answer the video call, but I hesitated because of how I looked. ‘I can’t really show myself to her looking like this! I need to look damn near perfect in front of her,‘ I thought. Thus, I washed up quickly. After taking a quick shower, 1 dried my hair, shaved my beard, and put on some night wear. Once I was sure that everything was perfect, I called Scarlett back. While I was waiting for her to answer the call, my heart was racing. “Hi, Daddy!” James’ adorable face appeared on the screen. ‘Wait… why isn’t Scarlett on the phone?’ “Oh! Hi, James. Did you miss Daddy?” I forced an awkward smile. “Yes, I did. Daddy, you haven’t visited me in so long!” said my son. “Daddy is busy lately. Anyway, where’s your mom?” With the phone in his hands, James looked around and jumped into a particular direction. 

“Mommy!”

“James, watch out!” I exclaimed. Fortunately, a pair of delicate hands caught him. Soon, I saw Scarlett’s beautiful face. Within an instant, the surge of yearning broke through my defenses that I had worked so hard to build. It had been only a few weeks since I last saw her, but I had been longing for her already, “Why did you call me all of a sudden?” I asked nonchalantly. “James misses you,” she answered listlessly. “Oh… he misses me, huh?”

I spoke in lilting syllables on purpose. And just as I had expected, Scarlett was flustered.

“Baby, now that we’ve seen your dad, can we go play with your little brothers now?” Scarlett said to James.

She just squatted down next to James and touched the boy‘s face lovingly. “I’m sorry, my love. Dad has been very busy recently. Let‘s not disturb him anymore, okay?” “Okay. Daddy, I really miss you, but you have work. Bye, Daddy. I love you!” James kissed the phone screen and waved his hand at me goodbye. “I miss you and I love you too, son. I‘ll be back in a few

Aren’t you going to come to my birthday party?” asked Nicholas. I fell silent for a while. I wanted to refuse, but I figured he might invite Scarlett as well. Thus, I said, “If I manage to finish up on my work here early,
