Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett’s POV:

I felt the breeze tickly my skin like feathers when the sunlight shone on my face.I woke up from my sleep and heard the clock ticking. Instinctively, I picked up my phone, only to find that it was turned off. 

As soon as I charged my phone, a message from Charles popped up. 

“Good morning,” the text read.

I complained to myself thinking that he really knew how to get my attention.

All of a sudden, I got a video call from him. I thought for a moment before I answered.

“Good morning, baby.” Charles’ handsome face popped up on the screen, and he was smiling. It was obvious that he was in a good mood.

“Good morning,” I answered reluctantly.

“I heard you snoring while you were sleeping.” He teased me with a smile.

“No, I didn’t!” I denied. 

Seeing that he was still giving me a cheeky smile, I wamed, “Don’t make video calls if you have nothing serious to talk about!”

I then immediately hung up, without even giving him a chance to speak.

However, deep down, I felt like I did something wrong. Charles had been affecting my mood a lot lately, and I felt like things would not end well if it continued to be that way. 

After calming myself down, I got up to wash my face and brush my teeth. When I walked to the living room, I saw that Nina had prepared breakfast for me.

“Come and taste this. See if you like it.” Nina pulled me to sit down at the table and handed me the milk.

“Is it a little too light?” I asked uncertainly, tasting it.

Upon hearing my question, she tasted the food with a confused look. 

“Light? I think it’s just right,” she said with a hint of suspicion.

I tasted it again, but I still felt that it was too light.

Nina suddenly put down her fork and looked at me seriously.
