Bye, My Irresistible Love

Caroline’s POV

Nina and I went gift shopping for Dad’s birthday at the mall. A white male shirt in a designer brand shop struck my fancy 

Even though picking out a gift for Dad was my main reason for coming to the mall, my mind was stuck on Charles. Most of his shirts were of this simple style and color 

But Charles exuded a certain charm when he wore these simple clothes that was simply hard to put into words Nina smiled and nudged me with her elbow. 

“Hey! What are you thinking about?” I shook my head, a small smile overtaking my face as well.

 “Nothing.” 

Instead of querying me further, Nina took the shirt from my hands and inspected it. 

“This shirt is for young men. Hmm, it doesn’t appear to me like you’re shopping for Edward’s gift.” Nina taunted with an impish smile. My eyes narrowed and I took the shirt back from her.

 “So what? Is there a rule that says I can only buy clothes for my father?”

“Who swore that she would never go back to that man?” 

“It’s definitely not me!” 

“Tut-tut ” 

Nina poked each side of my cheeks with her index finger. 

“There is a name written on your face now!” 

“What?” I stuttered, my eyebrows creasing in confusion.

“Charles Moore!”

Nina hooted loudly, her voice attracting the attention of the shop assistants. 

They stopped and stared at us, curiosity shining in their eyes. Not only was the name Nina just yelled at the top of her lungs very famous, but this shopping mall was owned by the Moore Group. 

Flushing, 1 slapped Nina’s hand away and muttered, “Stop making fun of me.” 

 The smile vanished and a somber air replaced the expression on her face.

 “You should think this through. I doubt Edward will accept your relationship with Charles.” 

That was true. Even though Dad allowed Charles to stay for dinner the other day, it was obvious that he still disapproved of my continued involvement with Charles. 

“I understand your point. But let’s forget it. So tell me, what have you been up to recently?” I chirped, doing my best to turn the attention away from my relationship issues. The somber expression was still on her face, but now, there was an added tinge of depression to her aura.
