Bye, My Irresistible Love

Charles' POV: 

Scarlett stayed as far as she could away from me.

She was cramming herself in the farthest corner of the elevator, a helpless look on her face.

I would not hurt her.

Why did she seem so scared of me? Did she resent me? As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, Rita rushed over and clung to my arm.

"Charles, I've been waiting for you for a long time.Why did you only come here now? Is Grandma getting better? I want to visit her with you."

Rita rubbed her chest against my arm as she spoke.

Instead of being thrilled, I was disgusted, so I immediately withdrew my arm from her grasp.

"Grandma isn't in good health.I'll take you to her once she recovers,"

I reasoned out while trying my best to be patient.

"Are you still mad about what happened last time? I'm sorry, okay? I promise I won't go out to drink again.Charles, you don’t know how much I miss you,"

Rita coaxed me in a sweet voice.I used to buy it.But now, it only smothered me.

How I hope I could hear something like that from Scarlett.

However, she would never do that.

All she wanted was to make a clean break with me.

"I was busy recently.I had to deal with a lot of things at the company.I'll visit you at the hospital when I'm free.Anyway, you should go back to your room and have a rest.You haven't completely recovered yet,"

I urged perfunctorily.

If Rita stayed here, she would disturb Grandma in her ward.

"But I really want to visit Grandma," Rita insisted.

I frowned and sighed in exasperation.

"Grandma doesn't like you.You should be very clear about that by now.You'll only put her under stress."

As I did not agree, Rita turned to Scarlett and begged for her sympathy.

"Scarlett, can you go inside and plead with Grandma for me?"

Rita implored while sobbing pitifully.

Scarlett glanced at me, probably to see how I would react.Then, she turned to look at Rita and shook her head.

"I'm afraid I can't.It's your problem.I'm merely an outsider."

"Why won't you help me? I know I was wrong.I just want to apologize to Grandma in person."
