chapter 1497
Of course, Chris did not want Charmine to go. He held onto her tightly and pitiably begged, "Mommy, can you put me to sleep? Daddy doesn't even care about me, and I'm scared of being by myself..."
Charmine bit her lips, but just as she was about to speak, Waverly said from behind them, "Don’t be scared, Momo, I'll put you to sleep later."
Startled, Chris glared at Waverly and growled, "I don't want you. Go away!" 1
Waverly had an innocent look on her face. "I'll be your stepmother in the future. I should be putting you to sleep."
Charmine could not help looking at Anthony, but all she saw was that he merely pursed his lips. He was not keeping here, and he did not even correct Waverly.
What Charmine did not see was his arm that faced away from her went stiff as he clenched tightly, so much so that his veins protruded.
Disheartened, Charmine put down Chris and said, "Mommy needs to work."
Chris ran after her, but Anthony pulled him back and said, 'Til put you to sleep."
Waverly added, "Right. Your Daddy and I will put you to sleep." "Shut up!" Anthony, unable to hold back his anger, yelled and glared at her. 2
Charmine had her back facing them, and she had a mocking smile on her face. She left without turning back.
Anthony felt his heart wrenched as he watched her coldly leaving...but she would have to endure Waverly’s treatment if he kept her here.
He narrowed his eyes and watched her leave.
It was only when Charmine walked out of the Bailey mansion did she remember she did not take her car.
She walked out and took out her phone, wanting to call Eric when a luxury car pulled over before her. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
The car window rolled down, showing Maurice's gentle face. "Gem, come on up." "Mo?" Charmine was surprised. "Why'd you come here?"
Maurice looked at her gently. "I saw you leaving earlier, and I was worried that you don’t have a car to drive back with, so I came."
Charmine did not expect him to be so considerate. Her hardened heart softened instantly. Giving him a gentle smile, she entered Maurice's car.
Anthony brought Chris back to his room. After a moment of consideration, he crumbled to his desire.
So what if he drove Charmine back? Thanking her for caring about Chris? That would make sense, and she would not overthink it, either.
Anthony seemed to have found enough excuses to send her back, thus he ran out right away.
It was then he spotted Charmine getting into a luxury car in front of the mansion.
The driver seemed to be Maurice.
Anthony's eyes darkened, and he clenched onto the car key tightly.
After Charmine went inside, she saw Maurice leaning over to fasten the seatbelt for her...and she did not stop him from doing that!
The two of them exchanged smiles, looking like a couple happily in love...
Anthony remained transfixed on the ground. He could not believe what he saw.
This time, there was no paparazzi around, and she did not expect Maurice to come to the Bailey mansion.
Did this mean the two of them usually interacted this way?
Anthony looked at the car key in his hand, and he felt like a fool.
Following that, his thin lips curled up into a mocking smile.
He was about to marry Waverly. Why would he expect her to keep waiting for him?
Was it not his intention to make her forget about him-to live on happily?
Anthony remained transfixed on the spot and watched as the car drove further away.
It was only when the car faded from view did he finally look away and turned back.
Waverly was still bossing the staff around at the front yard. "Place this pot here, and move this away. I want to plant roses here. Get them ready for me tomorrow."
Anthony looked at her coldly. "Get lost, now!"
If he did not have to put on the show for Charmine, he would have kicked her out long ago. 1
Waverly's expression changed. "Mother asked me to move in to prepare for our wedding!"
