Bye, My Irresistible Love

Charles’s POV:

“James, go play with your mother.” After my mother left, i put James down. James ran toward Scarlett.

“Have you had dinner?” I turned around and headed to the kitchen.

“Charles, don’t...” Scarlett suddenly stopped me. Confused, i turned around and saw her striding toward me. She walked in a hurry. When I abruptly turned around to face her, she took a step back. Noticing that James was following his mother closely, I grabbed Scarlett and pulled her into my arms. I looked down and saw Scarlett glaring at me.

“Let go of me, Charles!”

“James is behind you. I was just worried that you would knock him down because you didn’t see him,” I explained earnestly The expression on Scarlett‘s face told me that she couldn‘t wait to break free from my grip, and it broke my heart.

Scarlett turned around and saw James standing behind her. She cooled down at once. Seeing that we were hugging each other, James naughtily stuck out his tongue at me. Scarlett shook off my hand. It wasn’t easy for me anymore to hold my own wife, and when I did, she wouldn‘t allow me much time to enjoy the feeling. I reluctantly let her go.

“Daddy, you hugged Mommy!” James pointed out happily while covering his mouth and snickering. I put on a weak smile, turned around, and proceeded to the kitchen.

“I don‘t need you to cook for us, Charles,” Scarlett said flatly.

“I want to cook for my children,” I snapped. I could understand why Scarlett was keeping her guard up around me, but she didn’t need to be hostile. It was starting to annoy me. I just wanted to be a good father to my sons. Why was she trying to stop me? Scarlett was rendered speechless. I entered the kitchen and started preparing dinner for my kids.
