Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett’s POV:

By the time we started to go down the mountain, it was already quite dark, and feeling tired, I could not help but yawn as I walked down.Charles stood in front of me and bent over. I was confused.

“Aren’t you tired? Come, let me carry you.” His voice laced with the cool breeze echoed in my ears.

I looked at his broad back, feeling a little hesitant, when he continued, “Do you want me to carry you on my back or would you like me to hold you in my arms? Take your pick.”

After hesitating for a while, I glanced at the passers-by subconsciously, and climbed on his back.

Feeling the warmth of his broad back, I felt an unprecedented sense of security, and unconsciously wrapped my arms around his neck.

As soon as I got home, I slumped to the sofa, stretching my legs to the armrests. My calf muscles felt sore from the hiking, and I felt like I had overexerted myself.

“What’s wrong? Why are you so tired?” Christine asked with concern when she saw that my legs were shaking.

“I am fine, Grandma. I probably feel weak because I haven’t walked this far in a long time,” I tried to comfort her, seeing that she was worried.

“How long did you make her walk? I am going to teach you a lesson today, you brat!” Christine said to Charles.

“I only took her hiking to help her relax.” 

Lowering his head, Charles could not even bring himself to look at her.

“That’s bullshit! Are you out of your mind? Why can’t you just take her out for shopping? Why did you have to climb the mountain?” Alice also yelled at Charles angrily. 

“I’m sorry. It is my fault.” Charles rarely ever admitted his mistakes.
