Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 139: A Gift

Scarlett’s POV:

“I’m living with Charles,” I firmly said while looking at Nate warily. Nate nodded in satisfaction. 

“That’s good then. But I’m sure you’ll face a lot of trouble because of him.”

“I don’t care. I’ve already been in a lot of trouble before we even got together,” I fired back.

“Rita committed suicide because of you.” 

I looked at him with an icy cold gaze. “It has nothing to do with me.”

All of a sudden, Nate grabbed me by the arm. “How could you be so cruel? Don’t you feel any remorse? Someone could’ve lost their life, and you’re the reason behind it!”

“Let me go!” I tried so hard to get out of his grasp. His touch disgusted me and made my hair stand on end. However, no matter how hard I struggled, I could not shake him off.

“Leave Charles,” Nate ordered through gritted teeth. His grasp was becoming tighter and more painful by the second.

“I won’t. Charles and I will get married soon. You’d better be polite to me, or you’ll regret it,” I warned. I might look weak and helpless, but my resolution never wavered. His empty threats did not mean anything to me.

Nate did not say a word and just stared at me fiercely.

While we were at a stalemate, I saw Charles rushing towards us from the corner of my eye.

“You don’t want to get beaten, do you?” I said cryptically with a smile.

Nate furrowed his brows in confusion. While he was in a daze, Charles kicked him on the leg.

He immediately let go of me. Charles’s kick sent him to his knees.

But Charles was not done yet.

Just as he was about to pounce on Nate and beat him, I grabbed his hand and pulled him into the room. “Charles, don’t get your hands dirty because of him. It’s not worth it.”

Charles looked at me worriedly. “Are you okay?”

I nodded and smiled reassuringly at him. “I’m fine. You came right in time.”

As soon as I said these words, I turned around and took out the ring from the cabinet.

I walked to Charles and said with a smile, “Give me your hand.”

Charles did as told. But instead of putting the ring on his finger, I put it on his palm.

“Aren’t you gonna help me put it on?” Charles asked with apparent discontent.

I shook my head with a chuckle. I wore my own ring and did not help him despite his request.
