Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 99: The Questioning Of The Elders

Charles’ POV:

“Charles, what are you even talking about? Scarlett is family. If we don’t support her, who will? Besides, Nate came to our house to make trouble. If we keep silent, then how was that fair to Scarlett?” Grandma scolded me.

“Yes, Scarlett is your wife. Even if you don’t help her, you shouldn’t make such sarcastic remarks!” My mom also glared at me.

I rubbed my temples irritably as I argued, “Who is the heir of this family? Why aren’t you defending me?”

“It is because you are the heir that we have to discipline you. Men in the Moore family have always loved their wives. You are the only weirdo here.” Grandma picked up the teacup and snorted. 

‘‘But I do love my wife! She’s the one that doesn’t take my feelings seriously.’’ 

Since I could not defend myself now, I had no choice but to keep quiet.

“Scarlett is such a good girl. If you don’t cherish her now, then you will regret it later. But if you can’t change yourself, then you should at least be a decent man and divorce her.” My mom continued to nag me.

“But if you do choose to divorce her, then the doors of this house will not open for you again, Charles,” Grandma threatened.

I cast a resentful glance at the culprit, only to find that she was also looking at me.

She seemed to be very happy to see me being targeted by my family, because she was smiling brightly. I looked away, but my heart was racing and I could not calm down even after a long time. I was not in the mood to listen to Grandma and my mom’s nagging anymore. Scarlett’s smile was the only thing on my mind.

All of a sudden, I felt like the entire room was silent, and when I came back to my senses, I noticed the elders staring at me.

I touched my nose and sat up straight. I was so lost in thought that I didn’t even notice what they were talking about.
