Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 44: The Warm Scene 

Charles's POV:

It was crazy.

I wanted to strip Scarlett naked and take her right in the bathtub.I had been finding myself in this kind of situation lately, and I had been finding it harder and harder to control myself.

I definitely frightened Scarlett with my sudden moves, and I hated myself for it.

"I can take a shower by myself.I don't need your help."

With both her hands clutching her shirt shut at the collar, she glared at me.

The heating in the bathroom painted her cheeks a pretty shade of red.

Her chest heaved up and down.

She was still trying to catch her breath.

Her cleavage was slightly exposed, and I could not bring myself to avert my eyes.

Indeed, Scarlett was no longer the little girl who used to chase me around and beg me for candy.

During the three years she spent abroad, she had grown into a full -fledged young woman.

I could not help wondering about the lucky man who would get to be with her.

Could it be Spencer or Abner? I dismissed the thought, for it only pissed me off.

Scarlett started rubbing the paint off her hands and arms.

I watched her and then frowned.

"The paint is not easy to remove.Are you sure you don't need my help?"

I bent over and whispered in her ear.

"No, thanks."

I smiled as I saw her ears turn red.

But then she stood up and started shoving me toward the bathroom door.

Before I reached the door, I turned and saw her red ears again.I could not help teasing her.

"Maybe we should take a shower together.I also got some paint on me.And it'd be a great way to conserve water,"

I suggested smugly and leaned against the door.I expected to see panic and nervousness in Scarlett's eyes, but she just flashed me an uninterested expression.

After rolling her eyes and heaving a bored sigh, she finally spoke.

"Like you care about conserving anything at all.Again, no, thanks, Charles.And save your sexual jokes for Rita.I'm sure she'll be thrilled to hear them."

The sheer coldness on Scarlett's face almost made me choke.
