Bye, My Irresistible Love

Charles's POV: 

I stroked Scarlett''s hand gently, feeling its soft and tender skin.

Smiling, I whispered in her ear, "Aren't I right?"Scarlett pouted unhappily, looking sulky.

She muttered defiantly, "I think Vivian's far more suitable for Spencer! At that, I pinched her little hand lightly and said, "Just like how you're suitable for me, right?"

Scarlett finally smiled.She mirrored my gesture and gently pinched my face.

"You're getting more and more narcissistic, Charles."

"Hey, I'm just telling the truth."The birthday party was about to start, so I led Scarlett to the elevator.

"Wait, isn't the birthday party held on the first floor?"

"Let's get changed in the hotel room first. We'll go to the banquet hall later."

Scarlett nodded obediently.

One side of the elevator was made of transparent glass.

As the elevator went up, we were rewarded with a beautiful view of the endless sea.

It’s dark surface seemed to glint mysteriously in the light.

"It's so beautiful..."

Scarlett's graceful figure was outlined by the light.She looked back at me with a soft smile, as beautiful as a goddess from heaven.Mesmerized, I stepped forward and put my arms around her waist.

I craned my neck downward and kissed her gently on the lips.

"Very beautiful, indeed." Scarlett blushed, cheeks going pink in an instant.

"Why did you work overtime today, by the way?" I asked as I caressed Scarlett's hair, running my fingers through her smooth locks.

Scarlett sighed dejectedly and leaned back in my arms.

"Since Independence Day is coming, our TV station's going to hold a celebration party. My supervisor told me to perform a show."

"Oh? What performance do you have in mind? I can help you."
