Bye, My Irresistible Love
Chapter 17: Being Forced To Compromise
Scarlett’s POV:
Abner's hair was usually slicked back and neatly parted.
Right now, it was a wet mess.
I had not had the chance to look at him for a long time until now, and I realized that he was actually quite attractive.
I found it a little funny that I did not notice that until I saw him drenched in the pouring rain.
I struggled to find the right words to say to him.
Before I could tell Abner my answer, Charles put his coat on me and dragged me away, forcing Abner to let go of my hand.
Charles led me to his car as I kept looking back at Abner.
Abner stayed on his spot and watched Charles force me into his car.
The disappointed look on his face made me feel a horrible pang of guilt.
I had time to give him a decent answer.
I should have just blurted it out before Charles could tow me away.
With one hand holding his umbrella, Charles opened the car door for me.
His face darkened even more when he saw me still looking over at Abner.
"Get in the car, Scarlett."
I took a look at him, gritted my teeth, and got in the car.
After turning the ignition and making the engine hum to life, Charles drove away like he was running from the police.
We did not speak the entire trip.
We just sat there in uncomfortable silence, which was beginning to become a routine for us.
Of course Charles's reaction earlier bothered me, but at the moment, I was more worried about facing Abner tomorrow at work after leaving him hanging like that.
Soon, we arrived at the mansion.
Charles walked into the house first, and I followed him.
"Hello, dear."
As soon as I entered the living room, Christine greeted me warmly, but before she could start a conversation with me, Charles grabbed my hand and dragged me upstairs.
He moved so abruptly that everyone immediately followed us.
They must have thought that he was going to beat me up or something.
"Charles, what are you doing? Where are you taking me?"
