Charles’s POV:
“No matter what you say, I won’t let you leave!”
“Have I upset you in any way, Charles? Why are you being so cruel to me?” Scarlett asked and stared at me with red eyes.
“We don’t need to be hostile to each other. You‘re still my wife, Scarlett. I‘m willing to compromise as long as you’re willing to make a concession.”

“How did we end up like this?” I asked her. I reached out and pulled my collar impatiently.
"You have changed. You used to be gentle and considerate, and you took good care of me. But somehow you’ve turned into a real devil!” Scarlett yelled, her voice trembling.
