Chapter 1534
Charmine and Maurice got along so well together.
They looked like a couple deeply in love!
Anthony clenched his fists so tightly, his veins protruded at the back of his arms.
D*mn it!
Even Chris got along with Maurice so well!
Anthony's breathing stopped. How he wanted to pull Charmine into his arms to punish her harshly.
The faint smile on her face and the way she looked at Maurice were like sharp daggers that plunged deep into his chest.
She had found such a good man, and he should be happy for her...but the ache in his heart refused to leave, adamant on tormenting him...
Anthony narrowed his eyes as he gazed at their way reluctantly, willing himself to find any sort of pretense in the way they got along.
Alas, all he saw was a warm, loving family of three...
Chris sat by the side happily while Charmine helped to grill corn and vegetables.
Not wanting their hands to be greasy, Maurice wore gloves as he grilled meat, drumsticks, and wings.
Once they got their ingredients ready, the fire was just right and the food started to cook.
It did not take long for the food to get ready.
Charmine looked at Maurice, shocked. "You even know how to grill food, Mo?"
The fragrance of the food showed how skilled he was.
Maurice said gently, "I used to go to the grilling shops often. When the staff were busy, I’d help out." Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Chris looked at Maurice, his eyes twinkling as he did. He really liked this Grandpa.
Usually, when the staff was busy, customers would get busy or impatient, but Maurice was not angry and even helped them out!
Ahh! How could there be such a gentle and caring Grandpa in the world?
His Mommy would be so happy to be with him!
Chris knew he was on the wrong side, but he no longer resisted. He wanted to have a good time with this Grandpa!
Charmine was preparing corn when she felt a burning gaze on her.
She looked up and turned over nonchalantly to see a well-dressed man looking at them inside a tent by the corner.
Charmine narrowed her eyes.
Although this man wore sunglasses and a hat, she could tell right away that it was Anthony.
The elegance and coldness in him were so unique and significant wherever he went.
Was he not busy preparing for his wedding? Why was he here?
Was he...jealous after seeing her being with Maurice, so he came after all?
Feeling her emotions rising within her, Charmine wanted to go up to him and ask him why he came...
However, after she put down the things in her hands, she suddenly recalled his attitude from last night.
He had stopped caring about her. Why would he get jealous?
Why, then, would she care about what he was thinking?
She did not want to seem like the weak one again in front of him!
Charmine smiled mockingly and, pretending as if she had seen nothing, looked away.
Meeting her gaze despite the shades he wore, Anthony was rooted on the spot, his heart palpitating at an abnormal rate.
Did she find out?
When he saw her looking away, he let out a breath of relief.
She did not recognize him, then?
Heh... It had only been a few days, and she no longer recognized him. i
He had a bitter, cold smile on his face as he continued glaring their way.
After Charmine realized Anthony’s presence, she started zoning out.
Even though she knew he stopped loving her, the thought of him being at the same field as they were made her somewhat excited. Perhaps he still cared about her and came here out of jealousy.
Maurice finished grilling a batch of food and put them in two plates for them.
Charmine took a drumstick and gave it to Chris, "Taste it, my dear."
Chris' watery eyes widened as he took a bite. It was so juicy and delicious! Nodding, he chirped with his mouth stuffed, "Yummy!"
