Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett’s POV:

When the video call ended, I burst into laughter as I remembered how Charles was “bullied” by his family members.

“You’re not that happy when you see me, your own husband,” Charles complained with a frown.

My smile faltered when I noticed the unrestrained joy on my face. Embarrassed, I straightened my scarf and turned my face away.

Charles touched my scarf and asked, “Why are still wearing a scarf at home?”

“What are you doing?” I took a step back and looked at him warily.

Charles withdrew his hand and shrugged his shoulders. “Why are you wrapped so tightly at home? I’ve seen you naked, you know.” 

“Well, my neck hurts.” I shielded my scarf with my hands and took a step back vigilantly.

“If you want, I can stay here overnight. I’ll give you a massage in return.” Charles reached out to pull the scarf off my neck again.

“No, I don’t want to!” I protested firmly, hoping he would not insist.

“I’ll stay overnight for free then. I don’t mind spending the night here. I can make do with it.” Charles spread out his hands and sighed helplessly. However, I knew him better than anyone else. I’m sure he was just trying to make me feel sorry for him.

I glanced at him. “No, you can’t. I’ll book a hotel room for you,” I protested in an icy cold tone.

With that, I took out my phone to call the hotel and book a room for Charles,

But before I could hit the call button, Charles grabbed my hand pulled me outside of my house.

I struggled to get out of his grasp but to no avail. “Where-where are you taking me?”

“Somewhere nice to celebrate Valentine’s Day, of course,” Charles answered calmly

He then pulled me into his car, and he left me no chance to escape.

Today was Valentine’s Day. Because of this, a lot of people were on the streets. Most of them were couples.
