Bye, My Irresistible Love

Caroline’s POV:

Around nine in the morning, Charles and I sat in the mediation room of the law office. The lawyer explained all of the terms in the divorce agreement for about half an hour. Charles was wearing a black suit, sitting there with a fearsome expression.

He wasn’t saying anything, so it was hard to tell what was on his mind.

The lawyer, on the other hand, was visibly feeling awkward. He stood there, staring at me like he needed some help. Thus, I had to speak up. 

“Charles, it’s time to sign the agreement.” Charles stared at me for a long time before he finally broke his silence. “We’ve decided to make things work,” he said listlessly. 

Stunned by his statement, I looked at him with my mouth left agape.

 “What the hell are you talking about?” 

How could he do this to me? Things had already reached this point, and yet he still had the audacity to be so shameless! What the hell was he thinking? Did he believe that our relationship was still the same as it used to be? Did he really think that I’d still be easily fooled by him and choose to stand by him as long as he came up with some more excuses?

Charles looked into my eyes and replied, “I’ve seen our previous agreement before. If I ask for a divorce, I’ll have to concede all of my properties to you. Which is why I can’t afford to divorce you.”

Having said that, he stood up and walked out of the room.I apologized to the lawyer and quickly followed after Charles.

When I got out of the room, I saw him standing at the foot of the stairs from a distance. I ran after him and asked,

“What is the matter with you, Charles?”

Charles turned around and sternly replied, “There’s nothing wrong with me. I’m serious. I won’t divorce you.”

His sudden change of mind almost drove me crazy. “I already told you that I don’t want any of your properties.Everything you have will remain yours. All I want is a divorce!”

“But you belong to me as well, Caroline.” Charles walked up to me, staring intently at my face. His eyes were affectionate, and it somehow made me feel like we weren’t even fighting in the first place. It was as if we weren’t here to get divorced. I stared back at him, at a loss for words. 

Charles tucked a loose strand of my hair behind my ear and said, “You also belong to me, Caroline. Have you forgotten that?” 

He sounded really serious. I stared at him blankly. And for some reason, I felt dizzy and it was as if there was a lump in my throat. We stood there for a long time before I averted my gaze from him and tried to regain my rationality. 

“Charles, if you don’t want to sign it, you’ll have to wait for the court’s decision.” 

That evening, I went to Nina’s place and told her what had happened this morning She handed me a file, her face was laden with worry.
