Anthony seemed as if he had completely forgotten about it as he drove home. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Charmine rushed to HN Restaurant at 6 p.m. to chat with the four men. They happily reminisced the good times they had back then.
A waiter came to their table at the instructed time-at 9 p.m.-to take their orders. Uncle Zul frowned and said, "Charmine, didn’t you say Anthony will be here at nine?"
Charmine was confused. Why did he not arrive yet?
He promised her before leaving that even if he could not come home beforehand, he would arrive at the restaurant at this hour...but it was already past nine.
Why was he not here yet?
"Does he not take us seriously at all?" grumbled Uncle Max.
"No," Charmine explained, "maybe he's caught up in traffic." "Charmine, call him and ask him where he is at," said Uncle Pop.
Charmine thus took out her phone and called Anthony, and all four pairs of eyes were on her the entire time.
She believed Anthony. He said he would come, and he would! Perhaps something was keeping him.
However...
His phone had been switched off.
The four Uncles were waiting for her to make the phone call quietly. When they heard that the line was busy, all of them heard it and Charmine could not defend him further.
Their expressions faltered into one of displeasure.
"He even turned off his phone?” pointed out Uncle Pop.
Uncle Larry was not happy. 'The four of us combined are three hundred years old! We came early to wait for him, yet he's now missing!"
Uncle Zul thought of something, and he looked at Charmine with a concerned expression. "Charmine, tell us honestly: does he really love you?"
Uncle Max scoffed. "How unreasonable! He’s about to marry you, and he doesn't even care about you anymore!" i "A lot of men are like this. They put on their best behavior when courting you, and neglect you once they have you!" "It's just like fishing; you stop baiting once you catch a fish." "That’s highly likely, Charmine. You must reconsider this marriage!"
The four men added onto one another, and Charmine did not know what to say.
She looked at her phone, disoriented.
She even told Anthony twice, and he agreed. Why was he not here yet? His phone was even turned off, no less.
She knew Anthony well, however, and he would not go missing for no reason.
Charmine calmed down and explained, "Do calm down first. Anthony isn't that kind of man. Maybe he’s busy now, so let's wait a little longer."
Seeing how certain Charmine was, the four men spoke in unison, "We'll wait for half an hour more, then!"
Charmine was speechless.
How united!
With that, everyone waited.
Still, Anthony did not show up even half an hour later.
"What’s the matter with him?" scoffed Uncle Larry. "Is he coming or not?"
Charmine pursed her lips. "Please have your dinner for now. I'll go home and find out."
Something felt off, and she had to ask Anthony for an explanation.
The four Uncles were here to meet Anthony, and there was nothing else to talk about if he was not coming.
Charmine seemed visibly upset; she must have felt worse than them.
Uncle Zul nodde. "Okay, Charmine, go home. We'll meet again next time." "You must ask for an explanation! If he lies to you, tell us! We won’t let him go easily!" "If he doesn't treasure you, cancel the wedding! We'll find you a better match!" "Okay."
Charmine then stood up and left, bewildered and hurt as she made her way home. 1
