Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett’s POV:

After we left the island, the driver took me back to the Moore mansion.

As soon as I sat down in the living room, Christine held my hand and persuaded me, “Scarlett, stay for a few more days. There’s no need to rush back to the training.”

The others nodded in agreement.

“You and Charles just got married. You should be with each other, having the time of your lives,” Lawrence advised, seeing that I did not say anything in response.

Meanwhile, Alice turned to look at me and asked for my opinion. ”Scarlett, what do you think?”

“I’ll call Charles and discuss it with him,” I answered. Without another word, I returned to my room.

His absence crossed my mind, and disappointment washed over me.

While I was lost in thought, my phone suddenly rang. It was Charles. I could not wait to answer it.

“The test result has come out. It’s just water,” Charles informed me in a serious tone.

I was stunned, unable to believe it.

“When will,” Just as I was about to ask him when he would come back, I heard a noise on the other end of the line. From the sound of it, he was with a lot of people.

“Honey, I’ll talk to you later. I have something important to do. I’ll take care of it first.” Charles hung up the call without waiting for my reply.

I watched in a daze as the screen of my phone automatically turned off. It was only after a minute or so that I came to my senses.

Something must be wrong with that glass of water. However, there was no way that Charles would make a mistake. What happened and where was he anyway? I had not discussed with him about the training program yet.

I felt a headache coming on at the thought of these things.

After pondering for a moment, I decided to go back to the training with Nina.

The two of us met at the airport at two o’clock in the afternoon.

I had been busy with the training courses in the following week. Charles seemed to be busy as well. We did not talk much, even over the phone  I was worried about him, but at the same time, I was a little aggrieved. We had just gotten married. And yet, we were apart.

I came back on the weekend.

As soon as I disembarked the plane, I saw Charles waiting for me at the airport.

I felt as though I had not seen him for a long time as I gazed at him from a distance.

But then, Rita suddenly crossed my mind. I could not help but heave a heavy sigh as I thought of her.

The test result showed that the glass of water was not spiked. Would Charles think that I framed Rita on purpose?

While I was in deep thought, Charles strode over to me.
