Chapter 1536
Chris returned to Charmine’s side and had the self-gratified expression plastered on his face. "Mommy, I asked Daddy to come over!" he chirped.
"Good." Charmine gave him the grilled food but acted as if she did not see Anthony. 'Try Uncle Mo's grilled fish." "Okay!" Chris started eating.
Anthony stood coldly in front of the trio, his eyes swirling with a storm of emotions as he curtly greeted, "Seems like Ms. Jordan is enjoying herself very much."
He was sarcastic.
He remembered vividly how she bravely interjected his car and even proposed to him when he broke up with her, yet within a few days, she fell in love with another man.
She loved with such extremes! 1
Charmine's red lips curled up as she replied, "I'm just here with my boyfriend to have a walk, not so much as enjoying myself. Mr. Bailey..."
She looked at him, bright-eyed. "Aren't you busy preparing for your wedding? Why did you come here alone?"
Charmine looked at him with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
However...
Anthony remained unperturbed. "This land is part of my company’s investment project. I came here as a protocol to experience it."
Charmine's originally sparkling eyes instantly went dull.
She smiled arrogantly. "Oh. I see."
As expected, she over-expected things.
Every single time, her anticipation ended up hurting her all over.
This would be the last time.
Her dignity had been rushed by him entirely; the pieces would not come back together anymore.
Seeing how tense both Charmine and Anthony were, Maurice said, "Mr.
Bailey, we've grilled some food. Why don't you join us and have some?" "No need." Anthony glared at the two of them and noticed how he picked out the bones for Charmine. His eyes went dull. "Enjoy."
With that said, he turned away coldly.
Charmine did not look up, her face calm as if he was someone insignificant, yet she clenched on the fork so tightly, and her pale face betrayed her pretense.
Maurice looked at her and failed to hold back the gnawing question, "Gem, is there a misunderstanding between you two? You know you could-" "No," Charmine cut him off, "no misunderstandings here."
He was about to get married. How was it a misunderstanding?
How big would the misunderstanding have to be?
Hilarious, it was.
The only thing left between them was his cold, changed heart.
Charmine was in a mess, but she did not want to turn and look at Anthony.
She took a deep breath and said, "Mo, I want to drink."
Maurice looked at her and pitied her. He did not try to stop her. "Okay, wait for me. I'll get you some drinks."
He flipped the food over on the grill before going away to buy her drinks.
Anthony was fuming by the time he returned to his tent.
Charmine actually accepted Maurice's gestures.
He knew her well enough to know that even when it came to her close male friends, she could not let a man pick out bones for her.
There she was: accepting every kind gesture Maurice did for her. She seemed to like them, too!
What a joke.
They had gone so far, and so fast? Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
It felt as though he was lashing out on soft cotton. There was so much anger pent up within him, but he had nowhere to vent it.
What else could he say?
Was he not the one who pushed Charmine away?
Maurice brought back some drinks while Charmine remained on the same spot. She did not seem as energetic as the afternoon; she exuded an air of loneliness that would make one pity.
Maurice felt a sharp pain in his chest as he gazed at her. He walked over and handed her a can of beer. "Here."
