'Ms. Jordan’?
He called her 'Ms. Jordan’ before she even agreed to the breakup?
Charmine's already ashen face turned paler at that, but her glare aimed at him remained. "No more feelings, you say? You don't feel anything for me anymore, huh? Why are your fists so tightly clenched, then? Why do your eyes look so tormented? What happened, exactly? I don’t believe you’re this kind of person-" "Ms. Jordan!” Anthony snapped at her before she could even finish.
"My fists are clenched because you annoy me! We’re both adults here, and I’m sick of this. I don't want to face this anymore, so let’s just break up. Why force myself to be with someone I don’t love? You’ve always been decisive, Ms. Jordan, so I hope you can be more casual now."
With that said, he detached himself from his intricate web of feelings, and his eyes became cold and emotionless. "It disgusts me how you’re still trying to cling onto this relationship!" NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
Charmine's face jolted. She never would have thought he would use that word against her-'disgust'.
The man who used to hug her and told her that he would love her forever, found her disgusting now?
Charmine raised her hand and slapped Anthony's face loudly.
Susan, who was upstairs, happened to be walking to the staircase and saw this. The sight made it feel like her blood rushed backward, and she hissed, "What are you doing, Charmine?!"
Susan arrogantly marched down and walked toward her in her heels.
Anthony saw how furious Susan looked, and his eyes turned darker.
His mother would not miss out on this opportunity to scorn Charmine.
He looked at Charmine, and his eyes turned cold...
As though furious that she slapped him, his tongue soothed his cheek from the inside while he glared at her emotionally. "Get out."
Charmine was mystified as she met his eyes.
She would never have expected Anthony, who once made her his entire world, would look at her so coldly, so emotionlessly.
While she was petrified, Susan came before her and pushed her away. "Did you not hear all that, Charmine? Anthony wants to break up with you! Are you deaf, or do you not understand human language?"
Charmine was taken aback as she staggered a few steps due to the push.
Susan glared at Charmine as she ridiculed, "Can't you just let go of my Anthony? You're not even good enough for him! You should know your place! Anthony's been playing for long enough, and you should be honored he even stuck around. Since he doesn't want you now, why bother sticking to him? Are you that shameless?" 1
Charmine's face turned pale, and it felt like her heart was stabbed as she heard Susan's words.
Was Anthony merely playing with her feelings, after all?
Charmine instinctively turned to look at Anthony, wanting to search for even a tinge of reassurance in him but was only met with a stone-cold face. He acted as if he heard nothing and allowed Susan to insult her.
Her breathing abruptly stopped.
Did he truly stop loving her?
In the past, he would not have permitted anyone to speak to her with such a tone, even if it was his mother. 1
Anthony met her eyes and said coldly, "We've made it clear. Do you still want to stay here? You're so clingy and bothersome-it annoys me!” 2
With that said, Anthony faced her with his back, his face was cold.
"Anthony..." Charmine could not hold herself back from questioning, "Are you sure we’re breaking up for real?"
Anthony, who was walking up the stairs, stopped. He did not turn back, though his hands at his side clenched. "Yes," came his cold, final ultimatum. 1
Susan scoffed. "Is that clear enough? Can you get out of our property now?"
Charmine merely glanced at Susan coldly, but her gaze lingered on Anthony longer.
Seeing his clenched fists, however, made it feel as though he was hiding something...
