Even the man looked at Maurice in shock. "Maurice? What are you doing here?" "My friend lives here," replied Maurice, "and I came over to have a look." "The young lady is your friend?" "Yeah." Maurice nodded and looked at the villa with a gentle gaze, though he did not spot Charmine coming out.
The man remarked, "You're a little late. I happened to walk past and saw her moving things on her own. She looked so pitiable, so I came forward to help out."
Maurice found it suspicious. Charmine told them not to help her, but she allowed a stranger to help her?
"Yeah," he sighed. "I came too late."
The man patted his shoulder. "Alright, go in and have a look. Let’s meet up when we have time." "Alright, take care." Maurice nodded politely.
After moving in her belongings, Charmine looked at the strange rooms and felt unusually dispirited. She walked out to the balcony to take a breather.
When she looked up, she saw Maurice standing outside her gate.
When did he come? Also, why was he talking to the man who helped her out?
She narrowed her eyes and watched as the two of them chatted.
The man knew Maurice?
Had Maurice asked his friend to help her out after she said she did not want help? Was Maurice worried?
She stared at both men meaningfully.
Maurice was so caring and thoughtful.
She had mixed feelings. Even though she was grateful, she did not want to owe him a favor.
Charmine pursed her lips and walked down.
Maurice was standing before the gate, about to press the doorbell when she pushed open the door.
"Gem!" He looked at her and asked, "Where are you going?"
Charmine said, 'TH buy you a meal, Mo."
Maurice was suspicious. Why so sudden?
Charmine did not elaborate as she went toward his car and got in. "It's lunchtime, so let’s go." NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
She would also give him a gift as a thank-you token for all the care he showed for her.
He treated her so well, so much so that it unsettled her.
Maurice did not question Charmine’s decision as he entered the car and drove away...all while Anthony watched them both.
Was she unaware that he was the one who asked for the man to help her carry in her belongings? She instead treated Maurice so well and offered to buy him a meal?
His entire being emitted fury as he clenched the steering wheel tightly, so much so that his veins bulged. He immediately drove after them.
Charmine and Maurice arrived at a fine dining restaurant. Maurice ordered a small bowl of salad as he usually would when they got to order their food.
Charmine was used to it but was still worried that he did not have enough, so she ordered an extra plate of pasta.
When the dishes were presented, he ate very little salad and had not much of an appetite.
Charmine took the pasta and poured in all sorts of powder and condiments, stirring it afterward.
The originally boring, plain pasta looked very appetizing after she put in the mixtures.
Charmine's act intrigued Maurice as he looked at her stirring the pasta.
Suddenly, he had an appetite, and it showed in his eyes. 1
Perhaps he started developing his appetite whenever Charmine made him food. This pasta was prepared by the restaurant, but after she added things into it, it spiked his appetite.
Charmine met his eyes and was caught off-guard momentarily.
She then handed the stirred pasta to him. "Try it, Mo."
Maurice turned her down. "No. You ordered this, so you eat it." "I can't eat so much," insisted Charmine. 'Try it."
Maurice then relented, accepted the pasta, and had a bite. It was surprisingly delicious.
Charmine's lips curled up. "Delicious?" "Yeah!"
The two exchanged grins, just like a couple deeply in love would.
Outside the restaurant, Anthony sat in his car, his sunglasses still nestled at the bride of his nose as he glared at the two angrily.
