Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 55: Feed Me 

Scarlett's POV: 

"Let me go," I said and bit my lip.

"You've been telling me that a lot lately,"

Charles backfired and flicked me on the forehead with his finger.

"Ouch! That hurt!" I whined.

It really did hurt.

He had used a lot of strength.

"As it should.If it didn't, you wouldn't learn your lesson at all.I take my eye off you for half a day, and you take up day drinking.You haven't even fully recovered from your last bad hangover, and you're already messing around.What's wrong with you?"

Charles flicked me again, venting his annoyance.

This time, he only exerted a little strength.His fingers touched my forehead gently like a feather.

"What do you care?"

I murmured as the back of my eyes stung.

Rita's words kept echoing in my mind, and they sank my heart deeper and deeper.

"You're not a child anymore, but you're acting like some rebellious brat who always makes me worry."

Charles pinched my cheek and squinted at me.

"This is your last warning, Scarlett.No more drinking, you hear me?"

Once again, I was stunned by the look of genuine concern in Charles's face despite the pointedness of his words.

"Then promise me one thing first,"

I started and raised my head to meet his gaze.

"No.You don't get to bargain here,"

Charles replied without hesitation.

The soft, gentle expression he just wore moments ago was suddenly replaced by that annoying smirk that made me want to beat the hell out of him.

I shot him a furious glance.

What was wrong with him? Why was he so supercilious? What was worse, I did not hate him at all.

Damn it! There was nobody in the world that I despised more than myself for that.

Seeing that I fell silent, Charles loosened his grip on my hand and said, "Fine.What do you want? Maybe I'll agree to it if I feel like it."

After thinking for a while, I lowered my head and straightened my dress.

"Let's be brother and sister from now on.I'll be a good sister to you, and you'll be a good brother to me."

"I beg your pardon?"

Charles asked, gloom suddenly twisting his handsome face.
