Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett's POV: 

Charles did not come down after a long time.

I was starting to get worried.

What if he went back on his words and no longer wanted to let me go? I had better run away now.He said that he would tie me up to the bed and have his way with me if I ran away.How could I take that seriously? I must be out of my mind.

There was no way he would actually do that.

For all I knew, he loved Rita with all his heart.

He would not betray her and sleep with me, would he? After pondering for a moment, I decided to leave now.

A taxi should still be available at this time.

The night was getting darker, so I had to go.

But just as I reached for the door, the doorbell unexpectedly rang.

I frowned.

Who would come here this late at night? The first person I thought of was Rita.

But just when I was about to scurry for cover, a familiar voice sounded outside the door.

"Charles, open the door! It's me."

It was Alice, Charles's mother.

It was already deep into the night.

What was Alice doing here? I was perplexed.

With a confused look on my face, I opened the door and beckoned her to the living room to sit down.

"Come in, Mom.Charles is taking a shower upstairs.He'll be here shortly."

Now, it was even more difficult for me to leave.

Alice sat down and took my hand.

"Christine told me that someone went to your apartment to spray paint.I figured that Charles would bring you here, so I came here to see you," she said with a motherly smile.

Alice must have come here to talk to me about the divorce.

Well, I could not be rude to her nor say something inappropriate.

She had always treated me as if I was her own child, after all.

"It's all right, Mom.Don't worry.I'm fine.But I have to go now.I have to go back early to recite the draft."

As soon as I finished speaking, I stood up and turned to leave.

This way, I could talk to her perfunctorily without sounding rude.
