Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 128: A Liar

Charles’ POV: 

I was no longer worried when Scarlett and I finally talked over the call. However, my worry turned into dismay.

When would she finally be able to let go of our misunderstandings and accept me?

In the evening, Spencer invited me out for a drink, to which I agreed. I stared at the tequila shot in front of me. Without much thought, I picked it up and drank it up.I could not wait to numb the pain in my heart with alcohol. For once, I did not want to think about Scarlett. Well, the joke was on me as she was on my mind the entire night.

“What happened? You look troubled,” Spencer asked with a frown. I merely glanced at him. I did not feel like talking, so I just drank in silence.

“What? Is it because you haven’t seen her for a long time?” Spencer guessed with a smug look on his face.

“We see each other a lot,” I corrected before he could make another wild guess. 

Spencer looked at me in confusion. “If that’s the case, why do you look glum? Cheer up, man.”

David also looked at me with bewilderment.

I sighed exasperatedly and explained, “Scarlett’s apartment is not safe. That day, someone broke into her apartment with a knife.”

The cheeky smile on Spencer’s face faltered. 

“Could it be that it was the same person who had almost hit her with a car?” he worriedly asked.

“I don’t know yet, but the investigation is underway. Right now, there’s nothing I can do but wait for the result.” I kneaded my temples and leaned against the sofa wearily.

David patted me on the shoulder for reassurance. “Let’s wait until the result of the investigation comes out. But seriously, can you rest assured while Scarlett is abroad on her own?”

I glanced at him and heaved a sigh. “Of course, not! I’m worried about her. But, she has her own plan, and I trust that she would take care of herself. Besides, I can’t take her back by force, can I?”

At that moment, Spencer looked at me with narrowed eyes and eyed me with

suspicion. “Tell me the truth. Are you unhappy because Scarlett was attacked, or is it because of something else?”

I sighed yet again. His question made me even more irritable. Sometimes, true friends would seem as though they could read your mind. They could see through each other at a glance.
