Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett's POV: 

James waved his hands happily as we both played with his toy.His sweet laughter was like music to my ears, and it brought happiness to my heart.

While we were having fun, my phone rang.It was from Spencer.

As soon as I answered the call, I heard him speak.

"Scarlett, Charles is drunk.I've already asked someone to send him home.Is he there yet?"

Before Spencer could finish his sentence, the door of the nursery was opened.

The following moment, Charles walked in, staggering to the side.

Instinctively, I helped him out.

When I came to my senses, I found myself in his arms, and the putrid odor of alcohol filled my nose.

"Why did you drink so much?" I rebuked him, showing my displeasure.

Charles shook his head and embraced me tightly.

"Weren't you the one who asked me to be there? And besides, I only drank three glasses of wine.Spencer and David were the ones who urged me to drink more after that."

I shoved him, causing him to stagger on the bed beside the crib.I quickly walked towards him to pull him up.

"Get up, go back to your own room and get some sleep.You reek of alcohol, Charles.You're going to make James uncomfortable."

Upon hearing my remark, Charles immediately rolled to the other side of the bed and distanced himself from James.

Since I was still grabbing his sleeve, I was pulled over as he rolled.

Fortunately, I managed to prevent myself from falling on top of him by using my hands as support.

"Scarlett." Charles stared into my eyes, cupping my cheeks.

The warmth of his hand startled me, and I quickly sprang to my feet, ready to leave.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"I heard some noise.What happened here?"

Alice opened the door and entered the room.

Upon seeing Charles, she frowned.

"Oh, my God! Charles, what happened to you? You reek of alcohol! How could you go to James' room after drinking? What were you thinking?"

"Because Scarlett is here," Charles murmured.

His words flustered me and I felt like my ears were burning.

"You know what? Forget it."

Alice strode in and picked up James from his crib.

"You made James' room stink of alcohol.It won't be good for the baby to stay here any longer, so I'm going to take him out for some air."

"Thanks, Mom."

I felt bad about what happened, and decided to follow Alice out.
