Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 57: Not On Speaking Terms 

Scarlett's POV: 

I left with Charles after dinner.However, I walked slowly and kept a distance from him.

"Hurry up.Why so slow?"

Charles grumbled in annoyance "You don't have to do this.I can just take a taxi,"

I replied.

The truth was, I was nervous, especially since we were alone.

I would rather take a taxi alone or keep a distance from him than be with him.

Upon hearing that, Charles strode over and grabbed my wrist.

Then, he quickly walked to the front of the car and pushed me into the passenger seat without giving me a chance to resist.

Unable to do anything, I touched my nose and sulked.

"Put your bag away," Charles ordered.

He then leaned over, and I caught a whiff of a pleasant scent of pines.

I looked at him confusedly.

Charles sighed helplessly.

Then, he put my bag on the backseat, pulled the seatbelt beside me, and fastened it.

"Thank you," I said in a barely audible voice in embarrassment.

It was already dark when we left the villa, and the streetlights had been turned on.

While we were stuck in heavy traffic, Charles glanced at me and asked, "Did you meet with Rita?"

I sneered and looked at him with amusement.

"Why? Did she tell you that I bullied her again? Don't worry.I didn't do anything to your dear Rita.In fact, I think she's beaming with happiness."

Rita used the same trick every single time.

She would meet with me and then complain to Charles about my attitude.Her trick was getting old, and I was getting sick of her.

Charles did not say anything in response.He only spoke just as a deafening silence filled the air.

"Nothing.I'm just worried you'll misunderstand me."

"I don't think there'd be any misunderstanding," I retorted.

My relationship with Charles was complicated.

Even I could not understand it at times.

Charles seemed to be displeased with my response.

He cast a scornful glance at me and scoffed, "So you don't care?"

"Rita was the one who had ordered to pour paint in my apartment," I replied crossly while twiddling with the seat belt.
