Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 18: Have A Fever 

Scarlett's POV: 

It was pouring outside while we were having dinner.

Because of this, I could not help but be worried about how I would go home.

I would rather not take Charles's car.

Christine must have sensed my apprehension.

She looked outside the window and asked with a smile, "Dear Scarlett, would you like to stay for the night?"

"I have work tomorrow, Grandma," I replied with an apologetic smile.

"It's okay.I'll ask the driver to drive you to the company tomorrow morning, so you won't be late." Charles cast a glance at us.

Seeing this, Christine glared at him and said sharply, "What are you looking at? I don't care whether you want to stay or not.But I hope Scarlett stays with me, even just for the night."

Christine held my hand and looked at me expectantly.

"Okay." I could not refuse her, so I just agreed.

Christine's face lit up.

Meanwhile, Alice, Lawrence, and Michael were also delighted.

Only Charles seemed indifferent.

He just continued eating and did not even spare us a glance.

Christine had reserved a room for Charles and me in the mansion.

But because the two of us were getting a divorce, it was inappropriate for us to sleep together.

Therefore, Christine decided to arrange the guestroom solely for Charles.

The latter did not say anything when Christine made the arrangement.

Without a word, he went to the guest room to rest.

But when everyone was already asleep, he went to my door and knocked.

As I opened the door, I saw him standing outside in pajamas.

His pajamas were white with slim blue piping.

The style was ordinary, but on him, the pajamas looked expensive and custom-fitted.

I immediately blocked the door and showed no intention of letting him in.

"What's up?" I asked crossly.

Charles pushed the door open and walked straight to the bed.

"I can't sleep.There's a strange smell in the guestroom."

"I'll sleep there instead then."

I walked out of the room as soon as I finished speaking.
