Charles's POV:
I leveled an irritated glare at William and replied coldly, "Goodbye."
Right after that, I left with Scarlett in my arms.
On the way back, Scarlett drowsily leaned against the seat.
When we arrived at Garden Street, I unfastened my seat belt and leaned over towards her. Her beautiful eyelashes trembled slightly, and it was obvious that she wasn't asleep.
"We're arrived, Scarlett." I placed my tongue near her ear and deliberately licked her earlobe.
Scarlett shivered at that, her eyes snapping open immediately. The moment she opened her eyes, our gazes crossed. She looked out of the window uneasily, and then asked in surprise, "Why aren't we back at Moore mansion?"
"Didn't you always come here before? Why are you unhappy to be here now?" I gave her no opportunity to react, and instantly pulled her out of the car.
Scarlett looked at me, her brows furrowed in confusion. Then, she asked tentatively, "Are you unhappy?"
"You found out so quickly this time." I narrowed my eyes at her.
"Charles..." "So, did you have a good time at the celebration party?" I wrapped my hand around Scarlett's waist possessively with one hand and caressed her hair with the other, staring at her quietly all the while.
Scarlett flashed me a helpless look, and replied exasperatedly, "It was a celebration party with my colleagues, and we just had dinner together. Nothing special."
"Oh? Why was William also there?" My eyes narrowed further, showing my discontent.
Scarlett glanced at me, blinking a few times in astonishment, before bursting into amused laughter. "Oh, Charles! You're so cute when you're jealous."
I frowned at her reaction.
"After the book signing session, William came to congratulate me. Abner invited him to the celebration party out of politeness, but unexpectedly, he agreed." Scarlett spread out her hands, still amused, blinking innocently. "I don't care!"
I snorted in disbelief, but held her tightly all the same. "When can you spare some time for me?" Recently, Scarlett was getting busier and busier. She was in charge of making new shows, held a signing session, and was involved in more and more social engagements.
"Aren't we together every day, though?" Scarlett asked, puzzled.
"When you're home, I'm already asleep. And when I'm about to go to work, you're still sleeping." My tone grew fierce as I blurted out my discontent, and I bit her earlobe gently. "And you have the audacity to say we're together
every day?"
Scarlett whimpered when I bit her ear. She hurriedly covered her ear and stared at me innocently, as if she had done nothing wrong.
My heart softened immediately at her expression, but on the outside, my face was still calm. I raised my hand and placed it on her chest, feeling her heartbeat. "Scarlett, I feel that we're gradually drifting apart. Deep in your heart, do you still care about me?"
Scarlett was stunned once more, and took to staring at me in a daze.
I took her by the arm, and opened the door. "Forget it. Drink with me."
Scarlett's lips instantly made a displeased pout. "Why don't you look for Spencer if you want to drink?"
