chapter 1426
Was Anthony truly like what Charmine's mogul-uncles called him to be, the kind of man who would treat her well before marriage but would neglect her afterward? That every man in the world was like this, and he was no exception?
Charmine then recalled how she would marry him in three days. She thought of his attitude and felt every cell in her resisting...
She used to look forward to the wedding and life after marriage, but those had all disappeared.
She started to fear the wedding in three days...for her happiness after marriage...
She was even more fearful of Anthony turning into the man that the Uncles told her about...
Charmine looked faraway blankly, her thoughts complex as she did. 1
She did not know how long it had been when finally, the sound of a car pulling over was heard outside.
Charmine snapped out of her thoughts and turned. As expected, Anthony had come home.
However, her heart was stone-cold and stoic by then.
She looked at him silently and noticed how he seemed nonchalant, as though nothing had happened, i
Her heart grew colder at the sight.
Did he not care about her anymore? Did he not feel anything for ghosting her and making her feel bad?
Disappointment pooled in her eyes...
When Anthony returned home, he saw Charmine staring at him calmly. Not sensing anything was amiss, he asked gently, "Have you eaten?"
Charmine felt a sharp stab right in her heart.
Not only did he not apologize or reassure her, but he acted as if nothing happened, too?
Charmine pursed her lips and looked at him blankly. "Anthony, let's postpone our wedding."
Anthony was startled at the abruptness and looked at her bewildered." Why? What's going on?"
Charmine met his eyes and grew even more disappointed.
He actually asked her 'why'?
She said, "Think about it yourself."
With that said, she picked up her car key and turned to leave.
Anthony asked, "Where are you off to?"
Charmine did not reply; she left without even turning back.
Anthony was transfixed on the same spot and looked at her retreating form warily. He could only sense that she was very angry.
Why was that?
Did he...forget something again?
Instinctively, he lifted his wrist to look at his watch. He was shocked when he realized that it was turned off.
His heart shattered as panic flashed in his eyes.
He quickly turned it on and saw the memo, [Go home, meet the four Uncles. ]
He frowned that instant. He had forgotten such an important matter?
He even promised her with so much confidence, yet he made her look bad in front of the Uncles again.
With a distressed expression, Anthony took out his phone to call Charmine...only to find out that her phone rang on the sofa...
His heart tightened as he instantly headed out to chase after her. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
However, it was dark outside, and Charmine was nowhere to be seen.
He drove out worriedly to look after her, all while instructing Luke through their call, "Locate Charmine right now."
He drove around endlessly, looking for any traces she had left behind, but he came out empty-handed in the end after a few minutes of driving.
Suddenly, he gazed at the road signs, feeling confused.
What was he doing here? Why was he on the road all of a sudden?
Anthony tried to think, but his head was blank. The more he wanted to recall, the sharper the pain he felt.
He could only then pull over the car to massage his head.
Not long after, he drove toward his company instead as though he was not upto something beforehand.
Meanwhile, Waverly had been monitoring Anthony and Charmine’s movements. 1
When she found out about Anthony missing the appointment due to his watch being turned off and that Charmine was angry at him, Waverly felt very pleased. 2
She leaned back on the sofa and sipped her red wine coldly, all while typing a text on her phone with the other hand.
