Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett's POV:

When I stepped out of the bathroom, I found that Charles was not in the bedroom.I heaved a sigh of relief.

He must have gone to Rita's place.

Before I could get him out of my mind, the door swung open.My heart leapt to my throat the moment Charles walked in.

"Why...Why are you still here? I thought you went to see Rita," I asked in a trembling voice.

"If I leave, my wife will be unhappy," he shrugged and started walking toward me.

I scoffed.

"What do you mean? We're a married couple, remember?"

Charles narrowed his eyes.

I shook my head.

"We have never been a real married couple.Have you forgotten that our marriage is fake from the very beginning?"

I tried keeping the words in, but standing in front of Charles now, I could not help blurting them out in an accusatory tone.

If it were not for him wanting a divorce, I would not have come home from overseas.

Charles furrowed his brows, and his eyes glinted with a dangerous light.

He reached out and grabbed my wrist.

"What about now? I want us to be a real couple, Scarlett.I love you."

As he spoke, he approached me step by step, forcing me to retreat.

In a few heartbeats, I found myself backed in a corner.

The wall felt cold against my back, and it was a complete contrast to Charles's warm torso that was a hair's breadth away from mine.

"Do you still think I'm not being serious? I mean it.I want to be with you."

I looked at Charles's face, gnashed my teeth together, and shook my head.
