Bye, My Irresistible Love

Caroline’s POV:

 I was drinking milk when I heard James’ words.

My face turned the deepest shade of red and a violent fit of coughing shook my frame as my milk went down the wrong way. The servant and Grandma burst into laughter.

Jerry and Jason stared at the adults in confusion, their minds unable to comprehend what was happening.

Charles took one look at me before turning his attention to the servant.

"Get Mrs.Moore a glass of water."

Whirling around immediately, the servant left to do his bidding "Mom, did I say something wrong?"

James asked innocently, his eyes wide with confusion"

"Silent," Charles thundered.

Instead of staying silent, James opened his mouth to say something.

Afraid that he would say something shocking once again, I quickly spooned some pudding and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Dad is right.If you keep talking, I won’t take you to the dessert tasting party."

James swallowed the pudding, pouted, and mumbled, "Mom, why are you supporting Dad?"

Reflexively, I glanced at Charles before turning my face away as a blush heated my cheeks.

The truth was, I was not supporting Charles.I was simply helping myself.I spent the rest of dinner feeling awkward and unable to look anyone in the eye.

James’ comment had been innocent, but it was not enough to lift the humiliation that was covering me like a blanket.I felt so humiliated that I didn’t want to stay in the house a moment longer.

Once the debacle that was dinner was over, I hurried the kids, wanting to leave as soon as possible.

"I can drive you home.I actually still need to go back to the company."

Charles went downstairs with the car keys and led the kids out.

The cool evening breeze cooled some of the heat in my cheeks.

Staring at the backs of Charles and the kids, a lump lodged in my throat.
