Bye, My Irresistible Love

Helen’s POV: 

The name flickering on the screen of my phone made my heart skip a beat.I hurriedly got up from the bed.

The phone kept on ringing, but honestly I didn’t want to answer it.

However, I then remembered what Lucy told me earlier that night.She said that I should try to open my heart.

Thus, I decided to answer the video call.It was already late at night where I was, while the sun shone brightly abroad.I could see that George was in his office.

He had dark circles under his eyes, Looking quite exhausted.

"Were you about to go to bed?" he asked.

Hearing his voice was like music to my ears.It was very pleasant to hear.I pursed my lips and replied, "Yes, I was just about to go to sleep."

Thereafter, we fell into silence.

There was nothing for us to talk about.He could read through my work report in detail every single day.

With regards to our personal affairs, it was hard for me to think of what to say.

George was still working on his computer.He was typing something on the keyboard, making it a little less awkward between us.

While I was thinking whether I should speak or not, he suddenly stopped working and turned his gaze towards his smartphone, "Turn on the light.I want to see you," he said.

I turned on the bedside lamp, illuminating the dark bedroom with a warm yellow light.

A smile appeared on George’s face.

"Do you want me to bring you anything? I’ll be back next week."

"But aren’t you scheduled to come back at the end of the month?" I asked, visibly surprised.

The look on George’s face softened and a smile was born on his lips.

"Well, that’s true, but I want to come back early."

After pondering on his question, I thought of something that I wanted to buy from abroad.

The doctor suggested that I should get a different medicine for my mother.

Her body had built up a tolerance to the current medication she was taking, and the new type of medicine was rather expensive in our country.

I had contemplated on asking him this several times, but in the end, I shook my head and cast aside the idea.

There was no way I could talk to George about it.
