Bye, My Irresistible Love

Three years ago, the Moore family opposed Charles Moore’s choice to marry his beloved woman and selected Scarlett Riley as his bride. Charles didn’t love her. In fact, he hated her. Not long after they got married, Scarlett received an offer from her dream university and jumped on it. Three years later, Charles’s beloved woman fell terribly ill. In order to fulfill her last wish, he called Scarlett back and presented her with a divorce agreement. Scarlett was deeply hurt by Charles’s abrupt decision, but she chose to let him go and agreed to sign the divorce papers. However, Charles seemed to delay the process deliberately, leaving Scarlett confused and frustrated. Now, Scarlett was trapped between the consequences of Charles’s indecision. Would she be able to break free from him? Would Charles eventually come to his senses and face his true feelings?

I checked the time again and sighed. It had been one and a half hours since I flew in, and I had lost count of the times I had glanced at my watch. My husband, Charles Moore, was nowhere to be found. He was supposed to pick me up from the airport. But he must be with his girlfriend right now. I shook my head and smiled bitterly at the thought, stood up, and dragged myself and my luggage out of the airport.

I married Charles three years ago. But shortly after our wedding, I received some good news from my dream university abroad. I was accepted to one of their programs, so I left to study there. Charles and I had not seen each other for three years. While I was away, he was spending all his time with the woman he truly loved.

Now, I was finally finished with my studies and I came back home. I wanted to end our nominal marriage. I decided it was time for me to stop hoping for things that would never happen.

On my way home in a cab, I sent Charles a message that read, «We need to talk.»

Before long, I was standing inside our empty house. I set my luggage aside and headed to the living room. I sat on the sofa and waited. The house looked and smelled like no one had lived in it for years. Our wedding photo was still hanging on the wall. It offended and saddened me at the same time.

I glanced at my phone. Charles still had not replied. I guessed that maybe he would not be home tonight.

But I just sat there for a long time and immersed myself in my thoughts. Then, I heard a car pull over outside. I shot up from my seat, feeling my heart break into a gallop. Did I still expect anything of my stone-hearted husband? Maybe. Maybe not. But at the last moment, I gnashed my teeth together and clasped my trembling hands. I reminded myself, ‘I’m here to end this.’

The doorknob turned, and the door swung open. Charles turned on the lights, and they cast a tall shadow of him down the hall. He walked in. He was clad in a charcoal black suit and immaculate white shirt. His expression showed exhaustion, but it did nothing to overshadow his angular face and prominent cheekbones. Everything was still the same. He still exuded that icy aura that I could feel from a few feet away.

As he walked closer, my heart beat faster, and my breath started coming in short bursts. I could not believe I forgot how handsome he was. He was like a god who did not belong in the mortal world. He had the kind of charm that just made people surrender.

Time had made him into a more mature-looking, head-turning man. I averted my gaze as I felt my cheeks burn.

He walked to the sofa and sat down. I took the seat across from him.

Then, he stared at me with his cold, sharp eyes. My first thought was to lower my head and avoid looking directly at him, but I forced my chin up. I saw my reflection in his dark eyes.

«You’re back.» He spoke in his usual monotone, which would have made me bristle had I not known it so completely.

«Yes,» I answered, keeping my voice as nonchalant as his.

«My lawyer just sent you an email.» As Charles spoke, he loosened his tie. His muscular chest poked through his shirt.

«Okay, let me check.» I swallowed and schooled my features into neutrality.

I took out my phone and pulled up my email, and the subject line of the latest email in my inbox jumped right at me—divorce agreement. Although I was expecting it, I still felt like somebody drove a knife through my chest. The pain was swift and startling, and the only reason I was thankful for it was that it blinded me from Charles’s charm for a second.

«All right. I’ll sign it.» I put my phone away and looked back at my soon-to-be ex-husband. Soon, he would no longer belong to me. I had a good run pretending to be Mrs. Moore. But it had to come to an end now, and I had to kick Mr. Moore out of my world.

«Don’t you want to read the agreement first?»

«No need. I’m sure Mr. Moore will treat his ex-wife well.» I forced a smile. Ex-wife. I was going to be his ex-wife pretty soon, but I was not sure I was okay with such a blunt term.

«You will get this Garden Street house. And the apartment downtown. «

«When?» I interrupted Charles.

«What?» He frowned and looked at me with probing eyes.

«When are we signing the papers?» I asked softly.

«I’ll make an appointment with my lawyer,» Charles replied, slightly dipping his chin.

«Very well. I’ll wait for your call.»

After a moment of silence, he looked up at me again.

«Rita is not in good health. I just want to fulfill her last wish,» he explained.

I clenched my fist as I swallowed the lump in my throat. Fulfill her last wish? What a great man. But did he have to do it at my expense? Well, I supposed I had no right to be hurt here. After all, I was just a fake Mrs. Moore. A substitute.

«I understand.» I just nodded, even though deep inside, I was brimming with so many things I wanted to say to his face.

«If you need anything else, I’ll have my lawyer put it in the agreement.»

«No, I’m good. Whatever’s in there, it’s enough.» Once again, I curled my lips into a weak smile.

«Come see Rita tomorrow.» Charles

stood up and started pacing in front of me.

He said his last remark firmly. He was not asking me to come see his girlfriend. He was commanding me. What did he think of me? And why should I go meet that woman? Did he just want to rub salt into my wound?

«And why would I do that?» I asked him with a straight face.

«I don’t want her to feel guilty about our divorce. Tell her that you’re in love with someone else. Assure her that our decision to end our marriage has nothing to do with her.» He stopped in front of me and looked into my eyes once again.

I wanted to refuse. But for some reason, I had always found it difficult to say no to him. All he had to do was look me in the eyes and ask, and I’d just give in without a fight.

«Thank you. I’ll pick you up tomorrow.»

«Don’t bother. Just text me the address, and I’ll be there.»

Charles took one last look at me and then walked away.

I watched his receding figure as tears welled up in my eyes. We had been hiding our marriage during the past three years. No one knew about it except our family and close friends. A few months ago, the media reported news of Charles and Rita’s engagement. Photos of Rita trying on wedding dresses were also published and got circulated all over the Internet. What a perfect match!

I spent some long nights staring at those photos, and each and every time, my eyes automatically darted to Charles. At that time, I thought that I should not lose hope in us. I believed that as long as I stayed married to him, there was still a chance that he could fall in love with me and then our relationship would become real. I loved him, and as long as I did, that was enough.

I did not realize until much later that I also needed him to love me back and not just for a bit. I wanted him to love me as much as I loved him.

I spent the last three years waiting for him. I tried and tried my best to show him my affection and concern despite the distance between us, but I got nothing in return. One day, I woke up and allowed the truth to beat me to a pulp.

That day, the clingy, needy Scarlett died a painful death, and from her corpse rose a new one, a Scarlett clad in an armor so thick, no sword or spear could pierce it.

I went up to my room with my suitcases and unpacked my clothes. Then, I took a shower and changed into a nightgown. The room looked like nobody had touched it since I left. There was not a knickknack out of place or even a wrinkle on the sheets. It was obvious that Charles had not used it in the last three years because he was probably living someplace else with Rita.

The thought made me wince. I went to the balcony to breathe some fresh air. To my surprise, I saw Charles’s car still parked in the driveway. Why was he still here? Should he not be rushing back to his beloved Rita?

While I was blankly staring at his car, my phone rang. It was my best friend, Tiana. I answered her call.

«Bitch! Welcome back!»

«I’m still on a business trip. I’m so sorry I couldn’t pick you up at the airport today.»

«It’s okay. Work comes first.»

«Are you back for good or are you going to leave again the first chance you get?»

«I think I’ll be staying for now.»

«Great! Come work in our TV station then. I mean, you’re perfect for the job. You majored in media, your voice is pleasant to hear, and you’re gorgeous. People are going to love you. You’ll fit right in. What do you say?»

«Have you talked to Charles?» Tiana’s voice suddenly became low as if she wanted to feel out something.

«Yes.» I looked at Charles’s car in the driveway again.

«Did he tell you about his little girlfriend?»

«What a shameless jerk! How dare he mention her to you?»

«It’s all right, Tiana. He asked me to come see Rita tomorrow, and I said yes.»

«What? You agreed to meet that bitch who stole your husband? Are you out of your damn mind, Scarlett? That woman seduced Charles and encouraged him to divorce you. I honestly don’t know why she’s wasting her energy. The Moore family didn’t approve of her for Charles three years ago. What makes her think they’ve somehow changed their minds now?» Tiana was practically roaring from the other end of the line.

«All’s said and done. At this point, I just want to let bygones be bygones.» I smiled lightly.

«Bygones? Scarlett, you still love him, don’t you?»

I did not answer. Of course I still loved him. I had never stopped loving him.

«Scarlett!» Tiana’s yell snapped me right back to reality.

«I’m tired, Tiana. I’ll call you tomorrow, okay? See you soon.»

I hung up the phone before Tiana could protest and took a deep breath. Charles’s car was still there, and it didn’t look like he planned to leave anytime soon. But what did I care?

All of a sudden, exhaustion finally weighed down on me. I went back to my room and crawled into bed. I laid on my back, stared at the ceiling, and waited for sleep to come. A few moments later, I heard someone knocking on the door.

Rubbing the sleep off my eyes, I slid out of bed and opened the door. I found Charles standing outside.

Bye, My Irresistible Love by Gorgeous Killer Chapter 118

Chapter 118 Explanation

After everyone had dinner, the family sat down in the living room to watch my TV show.

Once it was over, everyone left the room one by one, leaving only me with Charles.

That moment, his phone rang, and he answered it immediately.

“Scarlett is back, so I want to be at home with her. Let’s meet some other day.”

With that, he hung up.

I looked at him subconsciously, only to find him staring at me.

“What’s up?” Charles asked indifferently. 1 “Nothing,” I replied, shaking my head. I then lowered my head and twiddled with my hand nervously.

My heart would race and I would feel so nervous whenever I was with him.

I thought that I had moved on, but my heart would always melt into a puddle whenever I looked at him.

Noticing that Charles was staring at my clenched hands, I felt a little nervous.

The moment I got up to leave, he grabbed my hand.

“Why are you sweating?” He rubbed my palm with a faint smile. Struggling, I tried to withdraw my hand.

He suddenly pulled me so hard that I fell into his arms like a weak kitten. “What are you doing?” I asked as I struggled to get out of his arms, but I was no match for him.

His cologne was so distracting.

I was so lost in thought that I did not notice that he was getting closer and closer to me until I felt his lips meet mine.

When I came to my senses, I tried to push him away by placing my hands on his chest, but failed.

Charles kissed my lips overbearingly. He quickly pressed me onto the couch in one swift move, gasping for breath. I was able to feel his erection poking my skin. His hands wandered through my body, and when I realized that he was about to reach inside my clothes, I quickly grabbed his hand. “Stop it!” I was supposed to be blaming him, but I sounded like a spoiled child, who was playing hard to get. 2

“The bedroom or the living room? You choose.” He continued to press his body on mine as he whispered those words in my ear seductively. Feeling his hot breath against my skin, my heart trembled. My body tensed instantly and I was so nervous that I could not even bring myself to speak.

“Then… Let’s do it here,” Charles said with a sly smile, kissing my neck. His lips continued to travel every inch of my skin, starting a fire with each kiss. I was worried that I might burst into flames if he continued to do it. “Wait!” I shouted anxiously just when he was about to slide his hand into my dress. “Have you decided yet?” he asked, kissing my lips lovingly.

“Bedroom, the bedroom…” I had no choice but to choose one of the options, as I was afraid that people might walk in on us. Charles seemed to be determined, so I had no choice but to give him an answer, panicking.

He immediately stopped his movements, picked me up, and carried me into the bedroom.

He then rudely threw me on the bed. Feeling a little scared, I shrank back.

“We were both drunk that night,” I said in a serious tone, looking into his eyes.

But without even saying anything, he took off his shirt.

“What’s your point?” Charles said, staring at me.

Charles grabbed my ankle, pulled me to his side, and pressed himself onto me.

He leaned in, and tried to kiss me, but I dodged him. However, without getting angry, he began kissing my neck.

“Didn’t you just choose to do it in the bedroom?” His voice was very gentle, as if he was coaxing me. But he didn’t know how seductive his low voice was when it was laced with a hint of lust.

I felt a ball of fire engulfing my heart, and I had nowhere I could escape to. Moreover, the arsonist was only trying to make the fire burn more vigorously.

“But I remember you taking the initiative to kiss me that night. You even held me and acted like a spoiled child, saying that I was a bastard…” He held my hands over my head as our lips locked. His flirting caused me to blush uncontrollably. Upon listening to his description, memories of our lustful night flashed through my mind.

“You look so cute when you are shy…” Charles complemented me in a sincere tone, stroking my face tenderly before he kissed my lips again.

I was ashamed and angry, but I suddenly felt his hand sliding through the hem of my dress. Feeling his faintly cold fingertips against my skin, my body tensed up. “I know the reason why you slept with me that night,” I said lightly, sensing what he was about to do to me.

Charles stopped and looked at me with calmness in his eyes. “Last time I came back, I met Rita. And she told me about what happened between her and Richard. So I think that you’re only doing all this to get your revenge on her,” I said after making a careful analysis, but then I saw Charles glancing at me coldly as he put his clothes back on.

“You are my wife!” Standing by the bed, he gritted his teeth and looked at me.

Looking into his eyes, I was stunned for a moment before I got up from the bed, and said to him with a smile, “I don’t deny our relationship.”

I straightened up my wrinkled clothes. Taking a look at the shoes on the floor, I bent down, picked them up, and was ready to put them on.

“I have the right to make love to you!” Charles said in a cold voice, suddenly pulling me to him.

Shocked, I gazed deep into his eyes.

“Charles, calm down. You never planned on marrying me in the first place. You have been wanting to marry Rita from the start. But you’re suddenly acting like you want me. What other reason could you possibly have if not for taking revenge on her?” I said in a calm voice, analyzing. 1

Charles’ brows furrowed and he kissed me as though he was punishing me. He even bit my lips rudely as if he was going to swallow me whole.

I knew that my lips must be swollen.

He continued to kiss me harder and harder until I was left breathless.

I tried to push him away, but failed again. He did not let go of me until he vented all his anger on me.

“You are so cruel, Scarlett. Can’t you feel my love at all?” Charles asked in a depressed tone, resting his head on my shoulder. “How can I make you understand my feelings? Tell me, what should I do…”

His voice was filled with exhaustion.

“Charles, I think you need some time to calm down.” With a sigh, I tried to break free, but he was so strong that I couldn’t even move an inch.

“I’m very calm now.” Although he seemed calm, there were still clear sparks of burning desire in his eyes. “What should I do to make you believe that I love you?” Asking that, he buried his head in my neck as though he had lost all of his strength.

Chapter 103 Spencer’s Interview

As Abner had said, I received the formal notice that Spencer would take part in the program this afternoon.

I was expecting that someone would take my place and interview Spencer. But in the end, I had to bite the bullet and do it myself.

While I was preparing for the interview questions, I saw that many of them were about Charles’s marriage. Of course, I skipped over them and only included questions about Spencer. I could not help but wonder how gossipy the person who had prepared this interview outline was. This was Spencer’s interview in the first place: Why were there so many questions about Charles?

Jokes on them, I had no intention of broadcasting my private life to the public.

The interview segment had finally commenced. I was on tenterhooks the whole time. I hoped Spencer would get my hint and not put me in the limelight.

Everything went well at the beginning of the program. I avoided talking about Charles, and Spencer had been understanding. He talked about his own experience with fervor and assurance.

But before I could be completely relieved, what I had been dreading happened. I asked about Spencer’s close friends. Among all people, he specifically mentioned Charles.

“In addition to him, I believe you have other interesting friends as well,” I said, averting the topic. I did not want to talk about Charles, especially when a lot of people were watching.

“I have few friends who grew up with me. Charles is one of them.” Spencer made no response to my conversational gambits. “By the way, I’m sure many of our audience is curious about Charles’s marriage,” he added with a smirk.

Oh my God! Just when I thought that things were going well, Spencer would play by the fire.

“How about we talk about your current relationship status? Do you have a girlfriend?” I tried to change the topic again.

Spencer ignored my question and smiled ambiguously. “Compared with my relationship status, everyone is probably more interested in Charles’s.” He paused for a second and winked at the camera. “I’ve prepared a photo of Charles’s partner that you’ve never seen before. The audience is lucky today.” I took a deep breath and bit my tongue in suspense. The crew of the program did not tell me about the photo in advance. I was so nervous that I felt that my throat became dry. Unfortunately for me, it would be rude to cut Spencer abruptly. Besides, this interview was being broadcast live.

A few seconds later, the photo Spencer was talking about was displayed on the big screen behind us. It was a photo of a little girl in a light pink princess dress. Her long hair was braided, and she looked cute. Fortunately, nobody could recognize her as she had her back to the camera.

“Scarlett, does she look familiar?” Spencer asked with a cunning smile.

How could it not look familiar? This was a photo of me when I was a child. I was at a loss for words, but I kept smiling. “Miss Lively was also very cute when she was a child,” I remarked sarcastically. Spencer smiled and did not say anything more, which I believe would leave people more room for imagination.

ended not long after. I went straight to the lounge, and Spencer

The program followed suit.

“Scarlett, how’s my performance? Did I leave enough suspense for the audience?” Spencer teasingly asked. I turned around and glared at him. “You colluded with Charles, didn’t you?”

“How could you say that? I did that for the audience rating of your TV station. It wasn’t that hard considering that I’m also very handsome,” Spencer replied casually.

I rolled my eyes at him. “I’m not stupid. You’re just cashing in on Charles’s popularity “It doesn’t matter. It’s true that I’m handsome, though.” Spencer smirked at me. Surely, birds of a feather flock together.

“There was no need for you to do that. Charles can come to the program and be interviewed if he wants.”

Spencer nodded in agreement. “Good idea. For sure, a couple can do a much better job when they’re together. Your show will probably become a sensation if that happens.”

Nonsense! Had these people been bribed by Charles? They were all pushing Charles to me.

I gritted my teeth in exasperation. “I’m busy. Please see yourself off.”

With that, I went back to my workstation, took my bag, and got off work. When I got home, I found that Charles was in my apartment again.

“Why are you here?” I asked crossly while watching him work in the kitchen.

Charles turned around and raised his eyebrows at me. “Am I not allowed to come here?” My eyes fell on the blue apron he was wearing. It made him look like a family man, different from the domineering CEO he really was. I was used to his lofty and noble look that I was taken aback when I saw him dressed like this.

I lowered my gaze and mumbled discontentedly, “Whatever. As if there’s something I can do about you here.”

“Stop muttering. I came here because you said you wanted to eat pumpkin pie.” Charles turned down the heat on the stove as he spoke

“Don’t you think you’re being strange recently?” I asked. His presence made my hackles rise.

“Don’t you have anything else to do? Can you just leave me alone? Stop showering me with you affection. It won’t work.” I acted cold and indifferent in front of him in hopes that he eventually would leave me alone.

Charles snorted and walked over to me imposingly. “You sue and lie in the show, but you don’t let me do anything to you.” He then stared into my eyes and whispered, “Scarlett, don’t you think you’re being unfair?”

We were so close that I caught a whiff of the scent of pine on his body. It was intoxicating, so I took two steps back to get away from him. “Love is not fair, and it will never be.”

“But you have to give me your answer, don’t you?” Charles slowly approached me. I backed and did not let him get too close to me.

“Is that why you’ve been trying to get close to me? So you can have your revenge?” I stopped and looked at him with a resolute expression.

Charles was a vengeful man, yet I kept testing his patience again and again. It must have taken his willpower to endure me for a long time.

“Whatever you say, you have to understand one thing. I did all these because I love you.” As soon as he finished speaking, Charles tapped the tip of my nose.

My ears turned red in embarrassment. His words were too straightforward for my taste.

I pushed him away and averted the topic. “What are you talking about? I don’t understand what you’re saying.” 1

Charles stood straight and lowered his head to look at me. “I’ve asked the crew to cut off the part where you said that Miss Lively was cute when she was a child.”.

“That’s a live broadcast. It’s useless to cut that part off.” I curled my lips and looked at him with furrowed brows. What he had done was completely unnecessary. Someone would catch me saying that nevertheless.

“I’m sure someone will watch the rebroadcast at some point,” Charles explained impatiently.

“What about the pumpkin pie? Why are you so kind to me?” I asked, perplexed. “I put something in it. When you finish it, I’ll throw you on the bed and do as I like,” Charles retorted with a smirk. 3

I looked at him warily and wondered if what he had said was true.

“Nah, I’m just messing with you. Go wash your hands. Let’s have dinner together.” As Charles saw that I was eyeing him with suspicion, he smiled and ruffled my hair playfully. He then turned around and returned to the kitchen.

Instead of doing as he had said, I just stood there. I had a feeling that a friend of mine had betrayed me. Only Abner and Nina knew that I wanted to eat pumpkin pie. I randomly mentioned it while we were having a meal together. Could it be Nina? I would ask her later.

Charles walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup in his hands. When he saw that I was just staring at him, he put the soup down on the table and pulled me into the bathroom.

“I can wash my hands myself.” I tried to get rid of Charles’s grasp, but he was too strong for me. “You’re taking too long. The dishes will be cold soon.” Regardless of my refusal, Charles helped me wash my hands, and we finished in no time.

At the dining table, he even helped me with the food. I was touched by his gestures, but I did not let him see it. I must admit that Charles’s cooking skills were getting better.

While we were eating, he suddenly put down his fork and looked at me seriously. “Mom has asked us to hold Grandpa’s birthday party. We have to plan for it later.”

His gaze made my heart pound wildly in my chest. I gulped down the food in my mouth and recalled, “Mom used to arrange Grandpa’s birthday parties herself.”

“Don’t eat so fast, or you’ll choke,” Charles cautioned with discontent. He then changed his tone and explained, “Mom assigned the task to us since you’ve returned.

I put down the half-eaten pumpkin pie and looked up at him. “Our relationship is complicated now. Other people will definitely talk about us.”

“I don’t care.” Charles leaned back in his chair and added, “It seems that you’re the one who doesn’t understand your situation. Let me remind you again. You must be the bride of our wedding next year. Everyone, including the media, knows about it.”

Chapter 5: The Brightest Girl

I looked at myself in the mirror.I wore a long white evening dress, a pair of Prada high-heeled shoes, and a pair of pearl stud earrings.I tied my hair up into a tight, clean bun.

But I still thought that there was something missing.

Then I put on my black choker necklace with the small turquoise on it and smiled.

My father gave it as a gift to my mother, and my mother handed it down to me.

«Are you done? Come on, Scarlett, let me see.Can’t you raise your phone so that I can see you?»

Tiana and I were on video call while I was getting dressed.

While I got ready for the party, she was protesting loudly on the other end of the line.

«I only have two hands, Tiana.Calm down.I’m almost done.»

At last, I put on my favorite pink lipstick and pouted my lips to check the color.

«Turn around.Let me have a look.»

I looked at myself in the mirror and still felt uneasy.

I picked up my phone and angled the front camera toward myself.

Tiana covered her mouth and stopped moving.

The picture had frozen.Was it because of a bad signal?

«Tiana, are you still there?»

«Oh, my God, girl! You look absolutely stunning! Oh, Charles is going to be stupefied by how gorgeous you look tonight! In fact, all the men at the party will be stupefied!»

«Mrs.Moore, if we don’t set out now, we’ll have to take the helicopter,»

Burton, the driver, called at me from the driveway.

«Thanks for the over-the-top compliment per usual, Tiana.I have to go.I’m already running late.»

Then, I hung up.I lifted my dress and went downstairs carefully.

«You look beautiful, Mrs.Moore.You’ll be a sensation at the party tonight.» Burton opened the door for me.

«Thank you, Burton.Let’s go.» I was not that much into attending formal events, but I was looking forward to this party.

«We will, Mrs.Moore.Trust me.»

After saying that, Burton stepped on the accelerator and drove toward the Ritz Carlton Hotel.

Before I knew it, I was at the hotel’s drop-off area.

I got off the car and felt the cold evening wind on my arms and face.

Fortunately, it should be warm indoors.

I entered the banquet hall, and many heads turned toward my direction.

All the attention made me feel a little tense and wonder if I had somehow gone overboard with my outfit.

«Scarlett! You’re finally here.»

I heaved a sigh of relief as Christine approached me.

«Hi, Grandma.Sorry I’m late.»

«Our little princess is finally here.»

I beamed as Alice and her husband Lawrence also walked toward me.

«Dad, mom.Oh, I’m so glad to see you both.I deeply apologize for arriving late.»

«Don’t worry about it, dear.The best is always the last one to show up anyway,»

Alice assured me with a smile.

At this time, many people in the banquet hall had taken notice of me.

One of them was a young man who waved at me and smiled.

Bye, My Irresistible Love chapter 3

After sending Rita home, I went back to the office to deal with some business matters.

In the evening, I received a message from Spencer.

It read, “Charles, would you like to join us? Everyone is here.”

I replied, “Okay.I’ll be there soon.”

I typed as I walked out of the office.

Spencer owned the Mint Bar.

It was one of the most popular bars in the city, and tonight, it was particularly crowded.

As soon as I walked in, I saw Spencer and David.

We all had been friends since we were little boys.

“Have you seen Scarlett?”

Spencer asked as soon as I was in front of him.

“Yes,” I answered and then asked the bartender to serve me a glass of whiskey.

“Are you really divorcing her?” Spencer pressed, coming closer to me.

“Yes,” I answered impatiently and lit a cigarette.

“How could you, man? Scarlett’s, like, our girl.We grew up with her.You and Rita are being cruel to her.”

I blew a puff of smoke in the air as the bartender set my drink in front of me.

I decided not to answer Spencer and just drank my whiskey.

But what he said was true.

Truth be told, I was nervous when I spoke to Scarlett last night about the divorce.

Meanwhile, she just sat there the entire time, looking all calm and collected.

I could not decide whether it bothered or impressed me.

We had not seen each other for three years.

She was no longer the sweet little girl who wore her heart on her sleeve.

She had grown a lot.

Seeing her again in that cool disposition upset me a little.

“Did she agree?” David asked curiously.

At this time, I was regretting my decision to come out and meet my friends.

I just wanted to have a drink with them, and here they were grilling me with all these questions.

“So you’re really marrying Rita?”

“Are you serious? Are you really going to sacrifice your happiness just because she saved you?”

David got quite emotional at my answer.

He accidentally spilled his wine on my clothes.

“Fuck!” I cursed angrily.

“Oh, my.I’m so sorry, man,” David immediately apologized.

Since I did not want to sit there looking like a total mess, I excused myself and went home to change my clothes.

I left the bar and called for a transport service.

I had planned on going home, but as soon as I got in the car, I found myself stopping to think.

Then, I asked the driver to take me to Gardner Street instead.

When I arrived, the house was brightly lit, and I could hear bursts of laughter coming through the open windows.

A familiar Mercedes was parked in the garage.

It seemed that my mother and grandmother had come to visit.

I walked quickly to the door, but before I could input the password, someone had already opened the door from the inside.

“Where were you? Why weren’t you answering my calls?” My mom trotted over and scolded me.

“I was in a meeting, Mom.”

“And why do you reek of alcohol? Did you drink? Oh my God, you’re a mess.Go get changed.”

She wrinkled her nose and ushered me in.

I entered the house and saw Grandma and Scarlett sitting in the living room, talking and laughing.

There were fruits and even an apple pie on the coffee table.

I went over to say hello and picked up a slice of apple pie, but my grandma slapped my hand away.

“Hands off.That’s not for you.That’s for Scarlett.”

“Charles, what happened to you? Come, let’s get you some fresh clothes.” Scarlett stood up and walked toward me.

“You’ve been married for a long time.Why do you still call Charles by his first name?”

Grandma asked Scarlett and then looked at me suspiciously.

“Is there anything wrong with the way I address him?” Scarlett stopped and asked.

“Don’t young married couples such as yourselves call their spouses honey or babe or something?” Scarlett froze and seemed to think for a while.

Then, she cleared her throat.

“Come, honey.Let me help you change.”

She helped me take off my suit jacket and flashed me a sincere smile.

“That’s more like it,”

Grandma beamed, her tone filled with satisfaction.

She loved Scarlett very much.

While Scarlett was abroad during the past few years, Grandma often asked me about her.

I just replied perfunctorily every time.

Before long, Grandma started a new topic.

“Charles, I’ve made an appointment with the doctor for you this week.Don’t drink until then.I want you to go get yourself checked out.”

“But I’ve just had a physical examination, Grandma.I’m very healthy.”

“I don’t want you to have another physical examination.It’s a more specialized check-up.It’s been several years.Where are my great grandchildren? And I definitely think it’s not Scarlett’s fault.It’s yours.”

Scarlett pursed her lips and looked at me.

A muscle flickered in her jaw.

She looked as if she was trying not to burst into laughter.Before I could defend myself, my phone rang, and I heaved a sigh of relief.

Scarlett, who was holding my jacket, took my phone out of the breast pocket and saw the name of the caller on the screen.

I could tell that it was Rita by the way her face suddenly changed.

“Is it that woman? Oh, for crying out loud!” my mother exclaimed.

I took my phone from Scarlett and rejected the call.

“Is it Rita? You’re a married man now, Charles.Why are you still involved with that woman? You should be loyal to Scarlett.And what were those photos of Rita trying on wedding dresses I saw on the news? What’s going on?” Grandma nagged.

“It’s not what you think, Grandma.”

“Then why did you decline her call? Is there anything that you two have to talk about that you don’t want us to hear?”

I did not know how to answer.I could lie to others but not to my grandma.

She always saw through me.

Grandma was so angry that she trembled.

Scarlett quickly poured her a glass of water.

“Charles will be more than happy to answer your question, Grandma, but let me take him to change his clothes first,”

Scarlett said, pushing me upstairs and into the bedroom.

“I have a couple of white shirts in the third cabinet.”

As Scarlett went to get me a clean shirt, I took off the one that David stained with his wine.

It was already ruined.

I really would not spare David next time.

Then, I felt a palpable silence behind me.

Scarlett was standing there and staring at me with one of my shirts in her hand.

She dipped her chin, trying to hide the furious blushing in her cheeks.

“How long have you been standing there?”

She did not reply.She just quickly closed her eyes.

I walked up to her.This time, I was able to see more of the new her.

She was no longer the little girl she used to be.

Her past three years in France had changed her from a mere bud to a delicate rose.

Her long eyelashes were trembling.

Her lips were pressed together in a thin line as if she was suppressing something.

Her face grew redder and redder with each passing minute.

I took the shirt from her hand and quickly put it on.

After I changed into a fresh shirt, we went back to the living room together.

“I don’t have many years left, Charles.Why couldn’t you just live a peaceful life with Scarlett? Why are you always trying to piss me off, huh?” Grandma was still blaming me.

“Grandma, next time you want to come here, you can call me and I’ll come pick you up, okay?”

I still did not know how to answer her, so I just decided to change the subject.

“No, thanks.You’re always so busy.I don’t want to inconvenience you.I just want to see if you’re treating your wife right.”

“Grandma, I’m fine,” Scarlett chimed in.

“Very well then.By the way, don’t forget the 60th anniversary party of the Moore Group tomorrow.Charles, I expect you to buy Scarlett a beautiful evening dress for the party.I want everyone to see how lucky you are to land someone like her.Don’t you make me unhappy again, you hear me, young man?”

After chatting with my grandma and my mom for a long time, I was finally able to convince them to call it a night and saw them off.

Under the circumstances, there was no way I could mention the divorce to them without unleashing one hell of an uproar.

Bye My Irresistible Love by Gorgeous Killer Chapter 303

Every time I was alone with William, I felt uncomfortable.I knew that he loved me, but I just couldn’t love him back.And no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t force myself to accept his love.When I went back to my room, my two babies were sleeping in their crib.

Every night, before going to bed, I would check their condition several times.

Looking at their pure, innocent faces reminded me of James.The three of them looked exactly like each other.

Each time looked at the twins, I felt as though I was looking at James’ face as an infant, and it broke my heart.

And this awful pain reminded me that James’ death was an unforgivable sin that Charles and I committed together.

“Mom! Mom, I’m scared! Help! Help me, please!”

‘It’s James! That’s his voice!’ I remarked inwardly.

I fell into an unprecedented panic.

“James? Is that you?” I cried.

“Don’t be afraid, my love! Where are you? Mommy’s coming! I’ll be right there!”

Desperately, I ran into the depths of the fog.But for some reason, my little angel’s voice was drifting further and further away.I looked around, anxious to find him.But sadly, he was nowhere to be found.

All of a sudden, I felt a scathing pain in my ankle, and then I fell into a vast sea.The turbulent tides drowned me and I kept struggling underwater.

Gradually, the water filled my lungs, and the lack of oxygen began to blur my vision.

In a trance, I hallucinated about James.

His little body was motionless, drifting into the cold tides.

And slowly, he sank to the boundless sea before me.

With every ounce of strength I had in my body, I desperately reached for my baby boy and shouted in my heart.

‘Somebody save him! God! Please…save my boy!’

“No!” I couldn’t remember just how many times I had woken up from a nightmare similar to this one.

As I gasped for air, tears and sweat rolled down my face at the same time.

With trembling hands, I fumbled to turn on the bedside lamp, looking around in a fit of panic.

It wasn’t until I saw my twins sleeping soundly in their crib that my overwhelmed heart gradually calmed down.

Now, I was wide awake, so I opened the drawer of the bedside table and took out my laptop to begin working.

At present, I was working for a magazine.

I didn’t make much money, but it was enough to keep myself busy.

When I turned on the computer, the icon for Facebook began to flash.

Upon clicking it, I found a message from Nina.

“Scarlett, why are you still up? Were you having a nightmare again?”

“It’s because you’ve assigned so much work to me.I barely have the time to sleep,” I bantered.

Previously, Nina found me through the periodical office I worked for.

She said that she had opened a small company of her own, and was doing some legal aid work.She hoped that I could help her out.

I began writing some articles for her.

And through this, we maintained contact with each other again.

“Well, you’re a mother of two now.Just consider it as saving for their college fees.”

After chatting with me briefly, Nina went offline.She now had a family, so it was understandable that she had to focus on them.

If we were to continue talking, it would only impose on the time she should be spending with Abner.

The next morning, while I was playing with the twins in the dining room and feeding them, William went downstairs.He approached me, bent down, and gently picked up one of the twins.

Due to being picked up so suddenly, the boy thought it was a game and he giggled happily.

“Is he trying to speak?” William looked at me and chuckled.

“Maybe he’s just trying to say that he’s hungry.”

I chuckled as well and took the child from him.As I held the baby in my arms, I couldn’t help but reminisce the past.

Charles would also do the same thing back then.

Whenever James made babbling noises, Charles would insist that James was trying to speak.

When that thought crossed my mind, my heart ached because of the familiar pain.

I took a deep breath, barely suppressing it.

After eating breakfast, I saw Tracy standing at the door in a daze.I approached her, smiled at her and asked, “Tracy, what’s up?”

Tracy looked back at me, and for some reason she looked hesitant.

“Scarlett, Alice said she wanted to see you.”

The smile on my face disappeared at once.

“Tracy, I don’t remember Alice anymore, and I don’t want to see her.I’ve lost my memory.Is that clear?”

Having said that, I turned around and walked away.

In the afternoon, I was writing in the study on the second floor when I suddenly heard a knock on the window.

Vigilantly, I walked over to the window and saw Janet the moment I opened it.She was clinging to the windowsill, staring at me with tears in her eyes.

“Scarlett, I’m here to see you!”

How did you get there, Janet? It’s too dangerous!”I was so scared for her safety that I grabbed Janet’s hand and pulled her into the study.

“Scarlett, don’t be afraid.I just really wanted to see you.How are your injuries? How have you been doing this past year?”

Janet eyed me up and down, especially focusing on my feet.

It had been over a year since I last saw her.She had grown more mature.

And as I looked at her tearful eyes, my heart was filled with joy.I walked up to her, embraced her, and wiped away her tears.

“You’re still as reckless as ever.I’m doing fine, Janet.How about you?”

“I’m fine, too; for the most part, at least.”

Janet nodded happily, but then she was saddened by something again.

“Scarlett, this is all my fault! I failed to protect James!”

I stopped caressing her back and sighed.

“It’s all in the past now.It’s alright, Janet.”

Janet wiped her eyes carelessly.

“Scarlett, I’m here to deliver a message from Mrs.Moore.She said that she wishes to apologize to you on behalf of the entire Moore family.”

I let go of her and stared outside the window.

“Stop it.They don’t need to apologize to me.Honestly, I think this is fate.”

In reality, I believed that this whole twisted nightmare that happened was my fault, because I failed to protect my son.

Losing James was God’s punishment for me.

“Please tell Alice that I don’t remember anything, and I sincerely hope that she won’t blame herself anymore.”

“Ever since James’ death, Christine has been in poor health.She’s been on bed rest most of the time and she always misses you.”

Upon hearing about Christine’s recent condition, I fell silent.It seemed that James’ death was also devastating for her.

My heart ached for her.

“Scarlett, why don’t you drop by and pay them a visit? Ever since Mr.Moore lost you and James, he’s been having a difficult time.He’s no longer the man he used to be.”

Janet looked at me with hopeful eyes.

“Really?” I recalled the day when! saw Charles in the mall, and it made me a little upset.

‘Is he really having a hard time?’ I wondered.

“In the past year, he’s been numbing himself with alcohol.” Janet looked worried when she said that, but all I could feel was anger.

“He deserves it, doesn’t he?” I stared at Janet with a sardonic smile.

“If it weren’t for him, something that horrible wouldn’t have happened to James!” I shouted, bursting with fury.

Tears streamed down my face.It had been over a year, yet I still couldn’t let go of my hatred for Charles.My tears seemed to have worried Janet.

“Sorry, Scarlett…I won’t mention him again,” she said.

After trying to calm myself down, I said in a gentle voice, “Janet, you should go now.I can never be together with Charles again since the moment James died. Please tell them that I’ve lost my memory, and now I have twin babies with William.Tell them they’re not even a month old yet.”

Janet wanted to speak, but I interrupted her, visibly dejected.

“Janet, please…do this for me.All I want is to live a peaceful life now.”

As she looked into my eyes blankly, she finally nodded, albeit reluctantly.
