Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 301: Like A Walking Dead 

Charles' POV:

 After hanging up the phone, I threw it on the bed.The moonlight peered through the window, slightly illuminating the dark, quiet room.

Right now, my room was like a cold cage.I turned around, staring out the window.

There were many lights surrounding me, and yet I felt so lonely.

On the glass window pane, a blurry figure was reflected.To me, my very image had become pitiful and desolate.I couldn't bear to stare at my reflection anymore, so I stood up and closed the curtains.

Now, the moonlight was gone and so was my reflection.I lay back on the cold bed with a bitter smile on my lips.

"I am like a soulless walking dead," I murmured to myself.

Like reflex, I reached for the other half of the bed and soon found that it was empty.My beloved wife used to sleep right here, but now she had begun a new life with another man.

Once again, my heart ached.Only in this endless darkness could I tear off my disguise, and let myself feel the painful wound in my heart.

I curled up in bed, holding Scarlett's pillow as tightly as I could, sniffing the last bits of her scent left on it.Then, I buried my face on the pillow.

The sense of suffocation slowly made me feel dizzy and a little drowsy.

During the second half of the night, I began to dream.I dreamed of the woman whom I had longed for day and night.

She was lying in another man's arms, speaking to him with a bright smile on her face.

"Honey, hug me." The man lowered his head and I saw that it was William.

He was sleeping in the spot where I once slept in, holding the woman I loved, and kissing her in my stead.

"Sure, honey!"

The following day, I woke up with a splitting headache.The dream I had last night tortured me.

Even now that I was awake, it still tore my heart apart.

Listlessly, I went downstairs and saw Janet in the kitchen, preparing breakfast.
