Chapter 1539
Waverly bit her lip, but just as she was about to get angry, she noticed how vexed Anthony was. She had to bite back her anger.
When Anthony walked to the tent, Chris was still munching his drumstick. Anthony had a straight face as he asked, "Chris Bailey, have you forgotten about the mission I assigned you?”
Chris retorted matter-of-factly, "Mommy is drunk, so Grandpa carried her inside to rest."
The ruthlessness Anthony emitted grew even more vicious as he then followed after Maurice, who had Charmine in his arms.
D*mn it!
Charmine was drunk, and Maurice was taking her into the room?
If Maurice did anything physical to Charmine when she was drunk, Anthony would not forgive him!
The more he thought about it, the more frantic Anthony became as he picked up his pace.
As he arrived outside the living room, he noticed that the door was not closed completely. The living room was dark, and only the room was lit up.
Why the hurry? Maurice did not even close the door!
Boiling with anger, Anthony barged in with clenched fists.
When he was outside the room, he saw...

He did not touch her at all.
Maurice looked concerned as he gazed at Charmine. He sighed, went to the bathroom, and came back out with a bucket of water.
He gently cleaned Charmine's face and rubbed her hands.
He looked so careful and did not intend to touch her when she was drunk nor do anything inappropriate to her.
Anthony stood in the darkened living room, his furious expression subsiding overtime.
So...he took things to a stretch after all?
Right. Why would Charmine fall for an indecent man?
Looking at how gentle Maurice cared for Charmine, he thought of how he could only hurt and bring pain to Charmine.
He felt helpless.
Finally, she had found a perfect man who was good enough for her.
He should be happy for her.
Since he could not give her what she deserved, why would he stop her from finding happiness?
Anthony clenched his fists so tightly that his veins became visible. His eyes had reddened as he looked at Charmine who was laying in bed.
He turned to leave the door.
He had been struggling internally all this while. He was worried that she might feel hurt after the breakup, worried that the man she found would only go for her status and looks.
Now...she truly had moved on from him.
She had found herself a man whom she loved and loved her back.
Anthony should feel reassured.
Despite all that...why did his heart still ache?
Anthony walked into another room and locked himself in.
He held onto a bottle of strong alcohol. As though releasing his pent-up anger, he arched his head, showcasing how defined his jawline was, and gulped down one mouthful after another.
When Waverly saw that Anthony had left, she looked around to see couples cozying up to their significant other.
No longer in the mood to stick around, Waverly stood up and started looking for Anthony inside the resort.
When she pushed open a door, she saw Anthony drinking on his own. He drank the alcohol as if they were water, gulping mouthfuls and mouthfuls.
Worse still, the alcohol had a high concentration.
With a frown on her face, Waverly walked up to Anthony and said," Anthony, you'll hurt yourself drinking like this! Nial said your stomach isn’t well, so stop drinking. If anything happens to you, what would I say to your mother!?’’
By that point, Waverly was already at Anthony’s side as she then tried to take the bottle away from him.
Anthony, however, remained stone-cold as he pushed her away coldly. "Get lost!"
He gulped another mouthful, his eyes visibly bleary and his face cold as ever. "If you want to get married as planned, vanish from my sight, now!" 1
Waverly's heart sank.
If Charmine was genuinely with Maurice, he would not have to keep up with this pretense, and he might end up canceling the wedding!
