Chapter 291: You should leave

Charles…

She had been avoiding him, mostly because of guilt. She still loved him but this was the best thing she could do for herself right now. She wanted to work on herself, become a better person, and going out with Charles wasn't going to help her.

Rejecting the call, she blocked his number before walking into her house, but her lips fell open when right there in the sitting room, Charles was standing with his phone in his hand.

They stared at each other, not saying a word. When Michelle finally came to her senses, she blinked and looked away from him.

''what are you doing here? '' she tried to sound annoyed but her tone failed her, her voice came out rather needy and she bit her lower lip. She didn't like being like this, weak and vulnerable.

''Michelle, I… ''

''you should leave… '' she cut him in knowing that one more word from him would send her running straight into his arms and she knew she would regret it.
