Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett’s POV:

After leaving Charles’ house, I went back to my house on Garden Street.

As soon as I got home, I took out my phone, and saw the messages he sent me, feeling a little sad.

Since I did not know how to face him, I could only hide from him.I changed the lock code of my door and muted my phone. After taking a shower, I lay on the bed, thinking that he might knock on my door at any moment, but there was no sound.

As tiredness swept over my body, I could not resist falling asleep.

The next day, I was worried that I might stumble upon Charles if I went out, so I decided to order take-out.

Not long after, the doorbell rang. And I was stunned to see Charles outside my apartment with a delivery bag in his hand. He was still wearing the same clothes that he had worn the night before. Had he been waiting here all night long?

With a guilty conscience, I lowered my head, grabbing the hem of my pajamas nervously.

From of the corner of my eye, I saw him staring at me with a sharp gaze, and I clenched my fists.

Without saying a word, he walked straight into the living room.

I followed him in.

Tiredness was written all over his face, and there were bags under his eyes. He unbuttoned his shirt with a long face while looking at me coldly. 

“Were you outside my door all night long?” I asked hesitantly after a long time.

However, instead of answering me, he headed straight to the bathroom.

I felt like I was doomed now. He was angry, and he was not going to let it slide easily.

I contemplated running away while he was in the shower. But then, I thought about it and gave up the idea. After all, he could always find me easily.
