Bye, My Irresistible Love

Charles's POV: 

Looking at Scarlett's confused face, I could not help softening my voice.

"I don't want to leave you alone.I'll just end up worrying about you."

However, after hearing what I said, she looked me dead in the eyes.Her eyes suddenly became sharp.She was like an angry kitten that was pretending to be a fierce lioness.

"If you delay the divorce again, I will sue you," she muttered.

"I won't divorce you even if it kills me!"

Looking at her pale face, I felt sorry for her.I held her in my arms and shook my head.

"But Rita's pregnant with your baby..."

Scarlett whispered, sounding aggrieved.

I tried to comfort her, "The baby's not mine.It's Richard's."

Scarlett raised her head and looked at me in surprise.

"How could you say that? You're really going to burden others with your responsibility? My God, Charles.I'm so disappointed in you.Get out.I don't want to see you or talk to you.You're upsetting me."

As she spoke, she pushed me away.

All I could do was take the hit.

After all, it was my fault.I was the reason for her distrust.I walked out of the bedroom without looking back.

The moment I walked into the living room, I regretted leaving.

Scarlett was still sick.

The last thing I should do was leave her alone.I turned around and went back to her room without hesitation.

When I entered the bedroom, I found Scarlett staring at me with wide eyes.

She obviously did not expect me to return.
