Bye, My Irresistible Love
Chapter 51: Out Of Control
Scarlett's POV:
Charles pulled me into the elevator, ignoring my rejection of his advances.He did not press a floor number immediately.He reached out and felt my forehead.He was standing close enough for me to smell that cool fragrance he was fond of wearing.
"What happened? Why do you have a fever again?" Charles asked in a slightly annoyed tone.
He eyed me carefully, and I turned away.I really did not want to explain myself to him.
So what if I was sick? Rita was also sick, but she was not getting this kind of badgering from him.
"Answer me."
Charles grabbed my arms and forced me to face him.
"I drank and had a little too much fun in a different city."
I looked straight into his mesmerizing eyes and continued, "Seattle had amazing views, and I was with a very nice man."
A muscle flickered in Charles's jaw after I made a reference to Abner.He narrowed his eyes at me and pinched my chin a bit harder than usual.
"You are still married to me.You should've asked for my permission first before you went out partying."
The moment he played the husband card, I felt even more exhausted.
I just wanted to get inside my house and pass out on my bed.I shook off his hand and jabbed the elevator button to my floor.
"I didn't need your permission.My work life is none of your business."
After saying that, I kept silent.I just watched Charles from the corner of my eye.
He had put on that frosty expression that he wore whenever he was provoked, and I felt inexplicably happy about it.
I walked out and dragged my suitcase behind me the moment the elevator reached my floor and its doors opened.
I ignored Charles completely and strode away as if he was not there to begin with.
He was on my heels as I made my way to my place.
While I dug for my keys in my purse, he said, "I don't like the way Abner looks at you.Why did you go out and have a drink with him? Aren't you afraid that he'll take advantage of you?"
The jealousy in his voice rang so loudly in my ears.
He spoke as if he was the only man who was right for me, and it made me stop.
I turned my head and looked up at him.
He was wearing an all-black suit with the top two buttons of his shirt undone, revealing a bit of his chest.
He looked handsome and elegant as usual.
There were still times when I found myself catching my breath whenever I looked at him.
"First of all, Abner is a decent, respectful man.He'll never take advantage of anyone.Second, he and I went out with the whole team to unwind.It wasn't just the two of us.Third and most importantly, are you jealous?"
I asked pointedly.
Charles looked at me for a few seconds.
I could tell that he was caught off guard by my question because a little color rushed to his cheeks.
"You think too much.I'm just worried about our family's honor and reputation.You're still bound to me and the Moore family.You're still expected to behave well while you're still my wife," Charles answered coldly.
"Of course I am."
