Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 180: Wanted To Be Close

Nina's POV:

"You guys go first." Scarlett asked us to leave as soon as we had dinner.

"All right, then.Be careful."

Shaking my head helplessly, I left with William.

"What do you think of Scarlett?" I asked William while I walked out of the restaurant with him.

"Scarlett is a good person, and she kind of resembles a family member of mine, who passed away," William said after a long pause.

But I could clearly sense that he had a crush on her.

After saying goodbye to him, I went to meet Abner.

As soon as I saw my husband I immediately told him everything that happened in the restaurant.

He listened to everything with great interest while sipping on his coffee.

"Abner, William said that Scarlett resembles his dead relative.Can you believe that? I think that he has a crush on her."

Saying that, I looked at him expectantly, waiting for him to agree with me.

"That's none of your business! Why can't you care more about your husband?"

With that, he finished his coffee, held me in his arms, and kissed me.

As the bitter taste of the coffee spread in my mouth, I couldn't help but indulge in his warm embrace.I was waiting for Scarlett's message.

Thirty minutes passed...

An hour went by...

'Does it really take this long to have dinner?'

Just when I was about to lose my patience, I got a text from her.

"I'll wait for you at the door."

I put my phone back on the table after I read the message.

Her text seemed to have dispelled the depression in my heart.

However, I was still annoyed that she made me wait for so long while she so daringly ate with another man.

Wanted To Be Close

"Aren't you going to Scarlett? Didn't she text you back? Why are you still here?" Spencer asked, waving his hand in front of my face..

"Relax."

While pretending to be calm, I raised my hand to check the time on my watch.

"Hurry up! I heard that she's been working overtime lately.I am sure she is really tired by now and wants to go home to rest..." Spencer persuaded me.

"She's been working overtime? Nah, I think she's having a good time."

The thought of Scarlett having dinner with another man continued to linger in my mind.

"Hello, sir.I have been keeping an eye on that lady like you asked me to, but she seems to be leaving now," a waiter said to me politely.

'What? Scarlett is about to leave? Is she really going to leave me behind?' Thinking of that, I got up at once and ran out.

"Wait!" I saw Scarlett getting in the elevator as soon as I entered the restaurant, so I rushed over to her at once.

We were alone.I tried to calm down and steady my breath as I contemplated what I was going to say to her.

"What happened to Nate, does it have anything to do with you?" she asked.

"Yes."

The moment I uttered those words, the elevator fell silent again.I peeped at Scarlett, who was expressionlessly staring at the elevator doors. Why wasn't she looking at me?

"We're alone now.Won't you at least look at me?"

I became furious, like a child that had his favorite candy taken away.

"Well, no."

Scarlett finally spoke up, but her brief reply only made me feel worse.

"What? Do you like someone else now? Scarlett, you are really something!"

"You probably forgot that we're divorced."

Scarlett stayed silent for a while, and the mention of our divorce jolted me back to reality.

Stunned, I felt like there was a wet ball of cotton blocking my throat, making it impossible for me to utter even a single word.

Scarlett got off the elevator as soon as it stopped at the first floor.

Unwilling to let her go so easily, I rushed out to catch up with her.

"Charles, help me!"

A familiar sharp voice came to my ears, and I turned around subconsciously, only to find Rita and Liam there.

"What's wrong with Rita?" I asked coldly.

"I don't know.Apparently, she was forced to drink a lot, and that's the reason I brought her outside.She doesn't seem to be feeling well.She told me that she needed to go to the hospital," Liam explained.

"Didn't you know that she had gone through a heart transplantation? Why did you let her drink so much?" I asked, staring at Liam discontentedly.

All of a sudden, Scarlett said, "Not everyone knows her as well as you do!"

There was a strong sense of sarcasm in her tone.

I thought for a moment, and realized that it was jealousy.

A wave of happiness crashed into my heart.

"Take Rita to the hospital.Here, use my car."

Saying that, I handed Liam my car keys and turned to Scarlett.

"Scarlett, come to the hospital with me."

"I'm going home."

With that, she turned around and left coldly.

I tried to catch up to her, but Rita grabbed my sleeve and pleaded, "Charles, please take me to the hospital.I feel like I am about to die."

"What are you waiting for? Take her to the hospital,"

I shouted at Liam impatiently.

Rita was so drunk that she kept touching me on our way to the hospital.

"Charles, I feel terrible.Can you please hold me and kiss me?"

"Liam, keep her under control!"

I stifled my disgust as I drove to the hospital.

"Take care of Rita.I'll leave now."

I dropped them off at the hospital, turned my car around, and immediately drove to see Scarlett.

She was the only one that I could think of.

A while later, I stopped my car in front of her house, turned off the engine, and got down.

Even after ringing the doorbell for a long time, she did not answer.

Noticing that the lights were still on, I knew that she was inside.

I quickly entered the password, and the door opened.

I was surprised to see that she had not changed the password.

A figure then stood in front of me in the dark hallway.

It was Scarlett.

"You are not welcome here, so please leave."

She tried to push me away in a fit of pique, but she could not match up to my strength.

I easily walked past her and went straight in.

"I'm warning you, trespassing is against the law.Believe it or not, I'll call the police if you don't leave now."

Standing in front of me, she took out her phone from her pocket.

"I just came back from the hospital, so I want to take a shower."

"There's no way I am going to let you do that!" Scarlett said firmly.

Seeing her blush, I could not help but burst into laughter.

I unbuttoned my shirt, unbuckled my belt, and took off my trousers...

Soon I was only wearing my underwear.

Scarlett was staring at me with a flustered expression, looking so cute.

I pulled my underwear down a little.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"Want me to continue?"

The moment she heard that, she ran away shyly like a little rabbit.
