Bye, My Irresistible Love

Caroline’s POV: 

Charles carried me to the suite upstairs of the hotel near the church where the reception was held. Inside, he placed me on the bed, while he sat on the edge and said, “When are you planning to open your eyes?” 

I kept my eyes closed and held my breath nervously, not daring to open my eyes. 

“Well, it’s a good thing that you don’t want to wake up.”

 Before I could even begin to understand what he meant, I felt his warm breath seep into the skin on my face. I opened my eyes and met Charles’ deep-set smiling gaze. His face was inches away from mine, and he was about to kiss me. Fortunately, he stopped the second I opened my eyes. Seeing his smile made me feel excited.

 “You knew that I was just pretending?” Charles didn’t answer the question. 

“Were you aware that I was outside at the time?” I couldn’t respond to his query, so I just stared at him blankly. I had won the bet. At first, I was just hoping that Nevaeh could accept the reality that Charles cared about me more and stop badgering him. However, he knew that I was just pretending, and yet he was willing to cooperate with me. 

Charles tucked my hair behind my ear, Lowered his head and said, “Honey, for keeping up with your act earlier, do you mind if I get a kiss as a reward?” 

“What?” Before I could react, he had already kissed me lightly. His lips felt cold, and they tasted like wine. I stared at him blankly and dared not move for a while. I made sure that my hands rested on the bed and remained motionless.

The sunshine peered through the window and illuminated his face, eyelashes, and lips. Time seemed to have stopped. The room fell into silence, and everything began to feel like a dream. 

After a few more moments, I raised my hand to tug on his sleeve. “Don’t sit on the ground next time. It’s cold down there.” Charles moved his lips away from mine, and gently wiped them.

“You’re not in good health. If you’re planning to do something like that again, choose somewhere more comfortable and make sure to notify me about it in advance. I’m more than willing to keep up the act with my wife.” 

“Okay.” The ground indeed felt cold. As a matter of fact, I regretted the second I was on the ground. But in order to make sure that Nevaeh would be defeated, I stuck to my plan and went through with my pretense. I thought that I successfully managed to deceive Charles. But to my surprise, he actually saw through my act the minute he saw me. Charles propped himself up on the bed and looked at me. There was a grin on his face.
