Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 543: The Island 

Charles POV

The kids spent the past few days at the Moore mansion while Caroline and I stayed sequestered in the house on Garden Street, enjoying some private time. We lay on the huge sofa and huddled together tonight The satisfaction i felt at the simple act of holding her hand was immeasurable

Caroline leaned against my chest and looked up at me.

“What’s wrong?” I asked in a near whisper, unwilling to disturb the blissful silence.

“Nothing. I just want to look at you,” Caroline replied in a soft voice. Warmth filled my chest and I couldn’t help chuckling happily. Just because I could, I raised her hand to my lips and kissed it.

“Is that all you want to do? Just look at my face?”

“What do you mean?”

“What I mean is, wouldn’t you rather look at my whole body instead of settling for just my face?” My voice was Tough with desire when I spoke again.

“How about I show it to you now?”

“You bad boy!” Caroline spluttered, her face turning crimson She snatched her hand back in mock anger and tried to leave the sofa

However, I didn’t release her hand but instead dragged her back to my chest and wrapped my arms around her body

“Caroline, how about we go to the island next week?”

I was not in a hurry to let the quality time Caroline and I were enjoying come to an end. At the island. I was confident that no one would be interrupting us. It would only be the two of us on the island, enjoying quality time together

“On the island where we held our wedding?” Caroline blinked her bright eyes, which glittered with excitement,

I pressed my lips against the corner of her eyes, then kissed the tip of her nose and finally pecked her lips. “Yes.”

“Sure, I would love to go to the island with you.” Caroline replied into my chest, her face as red as a ripe tomato. At this time, the phone suddenly rang. The call was from David. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

I picked up my phone and answered the call. The conversation was brief, but the information he relayed was disheartening. I chewed on it for a while before turning to Caroline with a heavy heart.

“What’s wrong?” Caroline asked in confusion.

“David’s boy has died.” Reluctantly, I disengaged my limbs from Caroline’s and got to my feet.

“I have to go to the hospital.”

“Yes, you need to go. David needs you by his side right now.”

When I arrived at the hospital, the child had been taken away. The child’s mother, Cathy, was crying silently in the morgue, while David who was sitting on the floor outside, stared into space, looking extremely guilty. He expelled a heavy breath and leaned his back against the wall. The way he slouched spoke volumes on how dejected my friend felt right at this moment.

“David,” I called in a tone I rarely used on anyone who was not Caroline as I walked up to him

David didn’t react to my voice, but I saw his shoulders shaking. If I were to hazard a guess, then I would say that David was trying to hold in his tears. I crouched next to him, feeling useless

I had known David for so many years, but it was the first time that I had seen him so sad and I had no idea how I could comfort him

“Charles, why am I so useless? I don’t deserve to be a father at all?” David suddenly blurted in an agonized tone cently, I patted his shoulder and tried to offer some words of comfort.

“There are some things that can’t be redeemed. I’m sorry.”

Just then, a soft female voice interrupted our conversation.

“David, I don’t blame you for what happened You’ve tried your best. This is my fault, not yours. I shouldn’t have given birth to him, but I did it anyway because I’m a selfish person” David lurched to his feet, anger clouding his features. But almost immediately, his anger disappeared when he saw Cathy’s shattered expression and he became dejected once more. He stared at her for a long time, but eventually, he found the words he wanted to say to her. “of what use is your apology now?”

“After the child is cremated, I will take his ashes with me. Just chalk it up as a bad dream. At least, now you and Icey will not have to fight over this matter ever again.”

Before David could react, Cathy ran away, her loud sobs trailing after her When I got home, it was already late at night. Caroline was in bed, working on her laptop. When she saw me come into the bedroom, she stopped what she was doing and gave me her full attention

“How is David?”

“He is fine I took him to Icey before returning,” I explained quietly as I walked to the bed. Once I sat down, Caroline moved closer and hugged me.

“What’s wrong? Are you tired?” Caroline smoothed my eyebrows.

“No, I just want to hug you.”

Caroline’s POV

The next morning, Icey asked me to accompany her to Vivian’s place when we arrived at Vivian’s house, Icey played with the baby as usual. However, after the child fell asleep in her arms, she kept staring at him blankly, as if she was lost in thought

Vivian, Spencer, and I stared at Icey for a long time. No one dared to disturb her After a long while, Vivian couldn’t stand it anymore She whispered in my ear, “What happened to Icey?”

“I think she must be very sad now.”

At this time, Icey looked away from the baby and shook her lead with a smile. Turing her face in our direction, she asked neutrally, “Are you talking about me? There’s nothing to worry about; I’m fine.”

“In my honest opinion, David is innocent. He didn’t cheat on you after the two of you got married. His ex-girlfriend gave birth to the baby in secret, without informing him. Strictly speaking, he is also a victim in this situation.” Spencer declared in his friend’s defense

“You are his friend of course, you will say that he is the victim. But as a man, why didn’t he consider the consequences before putting himself in a situation that led to her getting pregnant? How could he be the victim when he was not forced?” Icey retorted in a disapproving tone, lier eyes blazing

Spence was rendered speechless He made a gesture of zipping his lips.

At this time, Icey’s phone rang She looked at the name on the screen and immediately hung up The baby was frightened by the ringtone With his eyelashes trembling, he sobbed and rubbed his head

against Icey’s neck Icey hurriedly patted him on the back gently to comfort him

But the phone rang once more, which startled the child again Icey was furious She gave the child back to Vivian, pressed the answer key, and shouted at the person on the other end of the line.

“Why are you calling me repeatedly? Do you know that you have scared the baby?”

“Baby What baby?” David’s confused voice came through the phone’s speaker

“Caroline and I are visiting Vivian and her baby. He was sleeping soundly just now. Why do you keep calling me?” Icy asked angrily

“How could I have known that you were with Vivian? I don’t have the ability to predict your location or whatever is happening around you, so how could it be my fault?” David retorted, his voice sharp.

The two of them quarreled for a while before Icey hung up the phone angrily. Early the next morning, there was an entertainment news notification on the phone’s screen. When I saw Charles ‘ name on the title, I immediately clicked it. In the photo, a woman in a tight black dress whispered in Charles’ ear. The neckline of the dress was very low, and her plump breasts seemed to be threatening to jump out at the slightest pressure. The scene looked particularly erotic.

Charles still looked indifferent as if he was not interested in the woman in front of him, but he still allowed her to get close to him. +

Breathing deeply, I tried to calm myself and consider the news rationally. Without a doubt, Charles was innocent. Those sleazy reporters usually take ambiguous photos from a tricky angle and add a suggestive title to the photo to attract attention.

I should trust Charles, I knew that.

However, that photo was an insidious worm and no matter what I tried, I couldn’t purge it from my mind, a When a woman saw another woman getting so close to her husband, how could she really keep calm and pretend nothing had happened? I was sad about it, but what could I do?

This had happened more than once. Charles chose this moment to call me. When I saw his name flickering on the screen, I got so angry that immediately rejected his call and blacklisted him. But even after blacklisting him, I felt that I hadn’t done enough to vent my anger, I picked up my phone again and called Icey.

When she answered the call, I asked her to go to the island with me. I didn’t tell Charles about it, but I knew my bodyguards were loyal to him. They wouldn’t keep it a secret for me. But it didn’t matter anymore. I just didn’t want to see him for the time being. I wanted to be alone.
