Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 548: Please Don‘t Leave 

Charles’ POV:

Grandpa's birthday was on Christmas.We held the party for him at a five-star hotel.On this important day, Caroline came back from the island.I arranged for a car to go to the docks to pick her up.

She had been on that island for several days.

Though it hadn't been that long since she left, every single day still felt like hell for me.I was anxiously waiting until the car finally arrived in front of the hotel.

The door was opened and Caroline got out.

At a single glance, I saw her amidst the crowd.

Caroline was wearing a neat dress and a pair of flat leather shoes.She looked so much better than she did before.

Not even the goddesses of myths were more astonishingly beautiful than her at this moment.

The bright lights of the hotel paled in comparison to her dalliance.We hadn't seen each other for a few days, but it seemed as though she had taken very good care of herself.

Her baby bump had grown a little bigger, and she had gotten slightly plump.She was brimming with vitality.Her elegant temperament made people unable to take their eyes off her.She must've dressed up especially for tonight.Her light makeup brought out her most attractive facial features.

Even though she was pregnant, she was easily the most beautiful woman present.I heard that she played the piano and listened to music on the island every day.And whenever she was feeling exhausted, she would go for a walk on the beach.

She even had a little get-together with her friends on the island last weekend.It seemed like she had been living a great life even without me around.

And to be honest, I hated that island so much.I bought that stupid island, so we could go there for vacations.But now, she was always going there just to hide from me.

Caroline greeted the other attendees with a nod and a smile.

Then, she walked towards me and stood beside me.It wasn't surprising that we were standing next to each other in the party.

Sadly, she wouldn't even glance at me.She might be smiling, but she wouldn't even bat an eyelash at me.

Just to calm myself down, I had to take several deep breaths.I looked at her, wanting to say something.

But before I could get a word in, an elder came over with his children to greet us.

"Charles! It's been so long since we last saw each other.It seems like your relationship is going strong.You're a match made in heaven!" I, for one, wasn't fond of unnecessary compliments.I put my hand on the back of Caroline's waist and put ona smile.

"Thanks for the compliment.Please do attend our party when our child is born."

"Gladly! I'm looking forward to it already," the elder said with a grin.

After some time, Caroline couldn't hold on any longer.Exhaustion was written all over her face.She rubbed her waist and stretched her legs.

"Are you tired? Let's get you a room so you can get some rest, okay?" I held her arm with one hand and put the other on her waist.

Thereafter, I led her back to the room upstairs.

After we entered the room, Caroline breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why didn't you tell me that you were tired?" I asked, squatting in front of the sofa.

Then, I put Caroline's legs on my knees and began massaging her ankles.

"I'm fine.It's just that there are a lot of guests here today.It wouldn't be appropriate for me to hide out in here to get some rest."

Caroline wanted to withdraw her legs, but I held them even tighter.

"Don't move," I said, casting her a stern glance.

"If you exert yourself even more, you won't be able to walk tomorrow."

"Is it that serious?"

Caroline glanced at me, pursed her lips, and averted her gaze right away.

"Those guests aren't as important as you and our child.Just stay here and get some well-needed rest.I'll handle the rest."

Thereafter, I put Caroline's legs down and went back to the banquet hall to entertain the other guests.

Caroline's POV: Around nine in the evening.

"Is there anyone at the docks tonight? Let's go back to the island," I said to Janet.

"Mrs.Moore, Mr.Moore is here," Janet said while nervously looking at the door.

I instinctively glanced towards the door.

There, I saw Charles striding in until he sat across me.

"Would you like to stay here in the hotel or would your rather go home tonight?" he asked.

"It's too noisy in here.I'd prefer to go back to the island," I told him.

"If it's too noisy around here, we can go back to the Moore mansion," he suggested.

"I think our daughter would like being in the island better." I smirked, leaned back, and caressed my baby bump.

Charles leaned over, running his hand along the armrest of the sofa.He said to the two bodyguards, "Leave us alone for a bit."

"Yes, sir."

They immediately walked towards the door.

"Why did you tell them to leave the room?" I asked in confusion.

"I'm here already, and I think that's enough."

Charles sat next to me as if he was exerting his dominance.I kept my distance from him and replied, "Then, I guess I'd rather sleep here tonight."

As he sat on the sofa, Charles looked down and asked, "Will you be leaving tomorrow morning before I wake up?"

My heart skipped a beat.I turned to look him in the eye and replied, "I just don't want any unnecessary fights between us again."

"So, now you don't even want to fight with me?"

"Of course! Why do you bother asking these stupid questions when you already know the answer?" I glared at him before heading to the bathroom.

Now that I was pregnant, I was no longer worried that my husband would just barge into the bathroom while I was showering.

Later on, he put on a bathrobe and walked to the bedside.

"I still have the right to speak to my daughter, don't I?"

The light of the bedside lamp illuminated his white bathrobe.Just seeing the look on his stern face rendered me speechless. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Before I could nod, Charles lay on the bed beside me, and gently placed his hand on my belly.I could feel the warmth of his palm through my nightgown.

The baby inside my womb kicked.

Charles immediately moved his hand towards the direction the baby kicked.I held my breath, making sure that I wasn't moving.

Charles looked up at me before pressing his cheek against my baby bump.

"Daddy won't be able to stay by your side every day, but you have to be a good girl, okay? I know that you really miss me, sweetie.Well, Daddy misses you too.Hold on for a little while longer.Soon, we won't be separated from each other anymore."

When I heard him say the last sentence, my heart was overcome with fear and anxiety.

It suddenly occurred to me that he took my son away after he misunderstood that I was with William, and he didn't let see my little boy for quite some time.

A thought dawned on me.I had to run away.I had to get away from him as far as possible.

"I think it's best that I go back to the island." I was pissed now.

But before I could get up, he pressed on my shoulder and urged me to lie back down.

Thereafter, I leaned against the pillow, feeling like a puppet.

It felt like I wasn't even allowed to move without his permission.

Suddenly, Charles leaned closer to kiss me on the lips.

The softness of his lips was light to the touch, and the kiss was passionate but also gentle.

When I felt his tongue on mine, I immediately tried to push him away.I tried my best to get rid of him, but I couldn't do it.

After making sure that he was no longer on guard, I wrapped my arms around his neck.

Then, I sucked on his lower lip and bit it.

Charles groaned, held the back of my head and continued to kiss me.

"Caroline, do we really have to live apart?" he asked

"I'll be back," I said, avoiding eye contact with him.

"Why do we have to keep living like this? Caroline, all I want is to live a happy life with you.Don't leave me.Please."

Reluctantly, Charles moved away from my lips, and then he kissed me on the neck a few more times.Once he was satisfied, he pressed his forehead against mine and looked deep into my eyes.
