Charles' POV:
I went straight to the hospital after coming out of the bar, and just when I was about to enter, I saw a doctor walking out of Scarlett's ward.
Without thinking too much, I entered the ward.
Scarlett was on the bed with her eyes closed.
I walked to the bedside, stared at her face for a moment before I leaned in and kissed her forehead.
Scarlett did not open her eyes, but I noticed her eyelashes quivering.
However, I pretended like I did not notice it and continued to kiss her.
"Charles, you're pushing it! Stay away from me!" Just when I was about to kiss her lips, she put her hand on my chest, stopping me from getting any closer.
"I know that you are pretending to be asleep. I saw the doctor just a second ago. Did he say anything?" I held her hand.
She looked at me in silence, but she was not willing to talk to me at all.
Knowing that she still hated me, I did not expect her to respond. But her coldness still made me feel powerless.
Sighing heavily, I let go of her hand, and walked to the bathroom to freshen up.
Scarlett's POV:
I heaved sigh of relief after I saw Charles walk into the bathroom.
No matter how coldly I treated him, he kept approaching me relentlessly.
His persistence only made me feel uneasy and upset, and I just wanted to run away from him.
A while later Charles walked out of the bathroom.
He then lay on the bed and hugged me tightly from behind.
"Good night, Scarlett." There was a hint of tiredness in his voice.
And I was clearly annoyed with his behavior.
Hadn't he promised that he wouldn't touch me as long as I did not speak to him?
I wondered if I should continue to pretend to sleep, or if I should remind him of our agreement.
"Scarlett, thank you for giving birth to the twins even in that difficult situation." Saying that all of a sudden, Charles held me even tighter.
But I didn't respond to him. I squirmed in his arms uneasily.
Noticing that, he moved even closer to me.
And now, our bodies were stuck together.
Charles' breath brushed against my ears, and my heart began race uncontrollably.
Just when I was about to say something, Charles suddenly pressed his hand against my heart.
"Scarlett, your heart seems to be racing. Is it because of my touch? You said you didn't want me, but your body seems to be disagreeing with your mind." There seemed to be a hint of complacency in his tone and he seemed to be quite happy with my body's honest reaction.
I blushed in embarrassment and hurried to pull his hands off my body.
"Scarlett, why did you stop pretending to be asleep?" Charles held my hand and suddenly turned me over to face him.
He was smiling.
I tried to remain indifferent and silent as I wanted to continue to resist his approach.
However, instead of giving up, he leaned in and kissed me.
I immediately turned away to avoid his kiss.
"Scarlett, I miss the feeling of your touch, and I don't care even if you do it to refuse me. So there's no point in resisting. I want you," Charles whispered in my ear.
He gently pinched my chin and kissed my lips.
It was so gentle and irresistible that I was taken back to our sweet past.
In the end, I could only give up on struggling and let him kiss me.
