chapter 1440
Charmine wanted to speak, but Susan had already called for security, ordering, "Send this woman out! From now onward, she has nothing to do with us. If she shamelessly rings the bell again, kick her out!"
The security stared at Charmine and made a gesture to ask her to leave." Ms. Jordan, please don't make it hard for me."
Susan crossed her arms and elegantly watched as Charmine was made to leave.
Ha! That shallow woman deserved this.
This is justice for how she threatened her the other day!
An ignorant woman, Charmine was!
Charmine came out of the Bailey mansion. It was as if the skies knew she was wronged that mist blanketed the area and the gates of heaven unleashed a downpour.
She stood before the gate blankly and watched as the security shut the gate.
Charmine looked up at Anthony’s room and noticed him standing at his window, looking at her coldly.
After meeting her eyes, he instantly turned away and pulled the curtains shut.
Charmine was bewildered.
She was not sure if she was just seeing things, but she could clearly make out a look of concern and desperation in his gaze when she looked at him.
Was he hiding something from her?
She refused to believe that the man she loved was this sort of person.
She refused to believe that the Anthony Bailey who loved her so dearly would stop loving her just like that! i
Biting her lip, the reluctant Charmine slammed her palms against the gate." Anthony, come back out! Let's talk!"
Silence. Other than the heavy rainfall, there was no response.
Charmine stood before the gate alone, not wanting to leave. She was drenched from head to toe, and her head grew heavier by the minute.
Despite that, she still remained and gazed at Anthony's room upstairs.
If he still cared for her, he would not want her to stand under the rain, especially since she had not recovered.
He would come out if he still cared...and she would gamble on that.
A luxury car pulled over before the mansion, and out came William, gazing at the soaked Charmine with a frown and hurt in his eyes.
He took out an umbrella and rushed toward her quickly.
Despite growing dizzier and vision turning bleary, Charmine could hear the unmistakable sound of footsteps coming her way. She thought it was Anthony, and her eyes almost lit up.
He still cared, after all?
She stared at the gate intently when, all of a sudden, an umbrella hovered above her.
Charmine turned to see it was instead William before her, and her hope vanished at that instant.
"You haven't recovered, Ms. Jordan. You can't be in the rain," reminded William. "This will worsen your fever!"
Charmine slowly shifted her gaze toward Anthony's window. "I refuse to believe that he doesn't care about me anymore. He’ll come out!"
William merely sighed. He continued to hold the umbrella over her head, waiting for her as he said nothing else to convince her. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Charmine stood before the gate under the rain for half an hour, yet the mansion was still quiet. Nobody came out to see her.
Her heart sank deeply. This entire experience agonized her.
Was this it forthem?
She did not want to go.
She still cared for him, and she knew he still loved her!
He must have been hiding something from her, and she had to ask him in person!
Despite the pep talk Charmine gave to herself, her fever had worsened as she had been out in the rain for far too long.
Her face turned pale, and she grew limp.
She took a deep breath and called out for Anthony again when, out of the blue, she felt a loud buzz. A wave of odd relief washed over her as she fell backward, i
William quickly caught onto her. "Ms. Jordan...!"
