"Some duties are meant to be split," said Senior Jordan, unable to hold back his words. "The wedding is a shared matter between you two. Don't overwork yourself." "Don’t worry, I'm not a kid anymore,” Charmine reassured him.
As he was still bothered, Senior Jordan asked, "Are you busy tomorrow?
I'm free, and I can visit you." "I’m going to BR Studio in the south," answered Charmine.
Senior Jordan, who had just managed to calm down, became frustrated again. "Just you alone?”
Charmine explained, "No, I’ll be going with Anthony tomorrow." "That’s not too bad,” said Senior Jordan, "I'll wait for you at BR Studio tomorrow." "Okay.”
Senior Jordan said, "Alright, I won't disturb you anymore. Rest early." "Alright, you too."
Hanging up the call, Charmine was worried that Anthony might be busy working tomorrow morning, so she went upstairs to tell him.
It was then she realized Chris had fallen asleep beside her, his squishy face utterly adorable under the light. She could not help but pinch his cheek.
Even though he was not her flesh and blood, she loved him a great deal, still. She thus carried him back to the nursery room gently.
When she went back to her bedroom, she realized that the room was empty.
She frowned. What was Anthony up to so late at night?
She walked toward the study room suspiciously.
Outside the door, just as she was about to knock on the door, she heard Anthony's voice coming from the inside.
"Okay, I’ll come over for an examination tomorrow."
The doctor on the other side of the phone asked worriedly, "How are you going to endure it the entire night?"
Just as Anthony was about to speak, he heard shuffling outside the door with his acute hearing, quickly shifting his response, "Leave it at my office. I'll sort it out tomorrow."
With that, he hung up.
Charmine came in and asked suspiciously, "Are you caught up with work again?"
Anthony casually clicked away a page on the screen with the mouse at hand, replying, "Yeah, but it's sorted now."
Charmine noticed how fatigued he looked as she walked toward him, saying, "Anthony, why don’t we cancel the honeymoon vacation after the wedding?"
She did not want him to overwork himself.
"No," he replied, "my woman can't lack what other women get. She has to have more than them."
The way he spoke was alluring and haughty.
Stirred by his sentiment, Charmine reached out to caress his furrowed brows. "Take good care of your body, then. Don't overwork yourself." "Okay," he agreed, "I'll listen to my wife."
Charmine was no longer as worried when she noticed he was still in the mood to tease, thus saying, "Can you take half a day off tomorrow? Come with me to BR Studio in the south at ten in the morning."
With that said, she reminded him, "My Grandpa is going, so you can’t be missing."
Anthony was caught off short.
Tomorrow?
He had to undergo treatment...
He intended to go through an examination after the experiment he had today and also get some pain- relievers.
However, with Charmine’s unexpected appearance, he could not have gone over.
The doctor called earlier to insist on him showing up tomorrow, but...
Gazing into Charmine's anticipation-filled eyes, he did not want her to be disappointed.
"Okay. Tomorrow at ten, we'll go on time to meet Grandpa," answered Anthony.
With that, they both slept together. Anthony withstood the sharp pain that plagued him and held Charmine, seemingly calm. After she had fallen asleep, however, he carefully retrieved his hand and walked out of the bedroom and into the study. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
He then leaned against the chair with brows furrowed, looking very much in agony, i
He placed both of his hands on the desk, he clenched his fists tightly with his veins showing. Even the veins on his neck were showing, i
It was not until three in the morning when his pain started to go away. He quietly went back to the bedroom to lay back down.
He did not sleep well, and he woke up at six in the morning.
