Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 8: The Right As A Husband 

Charles's POV: 

I did not want to retreat.

In fact, I wanted to get even closer.

As Scarlett and I stared into each other's eyes, I felt an overwhelming desire to hold her.

But before I could, she pressed her hand against my chest and pushed me away.

She opened her mouth.

She looked like she wanted to say something but decided against it.

Suddenly, the thought of her fanatic French pursuer crossed my mind, and it pissed me off.

Did she also push him away when he tried to hold her? Or was it only me that she did not want close? All these thoughts shoved me to the brink of my sanity, and the more I looked at Scarlett, the more I wanted to grab her, kiss her, and take her.

I wanted to own her as a husband should his wife.

But then, as if the universe were conspiring against me, my phone rang.

I cursed under my breath.

I wanted to reject the call, but seeing Rita's name, I picked up.

Only then did I realize how ridiculous I was being just now.

I loved Rita.What the hell was I thinking wanting Scarlett like that? 

"Hello?"

I loosened my tie and walked away from the bed.

I took a few deep, steadying breaths before answering Rita's call.

"Hi, Charles.I'm not feeling so well today.I feel so exhausted that I can't even walk.I'm scared, Charles.I feel like I'm about to die.Am I going to die?"

“It's all right, Rita.You'll be fine.You just need to rest."

"I don't want to be home alone.Will you come keep me company, please?"

As I listened to Rita choke her pleas to me over the phone, I turned my head to look at Scarlett.
