Don't push me away, please.
Charlotte closed her eyes, silently saying this sentence in her heart.
She wished that Kennedy had the same thought.
But no...
Kennedy suddenly grasped her emaciated arm and wanted to pull her away. Charlotte realized what he wanted to do, so she circled his neck tightly and did not let go.
“......” Kennedy frowned deeply. When did this woman learn this? She had never been like this before, but now ...
Kennedy said in a deep voice, “Let go!”
Charlotte tightly bit her lower lip, closing her eye, “No.”
Kennedy, “Let go.”
“No, no way. Kennedy, I will pester you. We are married, you can't do that to me.”
Kennedy sneered with sarcasm, “You are good at acting. If not I know in advance, I would have been cheated by you.”
Charlotte was stunned and loosed a bit.
Taking advantage of the loosening, Kennedy grabbed her hand and pushed her away.
Charlotte took two steps back to steady herself, looking at Kennedy. He pushed her away.
Did he really want to divorce her?
“So you won't give up until you know the truth. Come with me.”
Kennedy turned the wheel out of the break room, and Charlotte followed him.
She followed Kennedy to the outside office. Kennedy opened the drawer of the desk, and then took out a kraft paper bag and threw it on the desktop.
“Have a look and go away.”
It was a bad tone...
Charlotte suddenly became disheartened.
She stood still and looked at him.
That look made Kennedy frown in discomfort, “What?”
“Whatever's in it, it's your reason to drive me away, isn't it?”
Kennedy stared at her without an answer.
“So...” Charlotte smiled. “I won’t have a look.”
“You could have asked me to leave for a million reasons. I begged you so humbly, but you still pushed me away, then... As you wish.”
Charlotte did not take the document, and she did not want to know what was inside.
She'd done enough.
However, Kennedy did not want to forgive her.
Why should she stay?
To shame herself?
“Sorry to bother you, I will soon disappear in front of you, and never show up again.”
With that, Charlotte held back tears and gave a bright smile to Kennedy.
She was smiling, but there was despair in her expression and eyes.
She had chosen it, why did she show that expression to him?
Kennedy’s lip moved, and he said nothing in the end.
Charlotte turned slowly and left the office.
