Chapter 1548
Maurice sent Charmine home. Since she did not invite him to come inside, he did not ask to go in.
All he asked of her was to contact him should she need anything before he drove away.
Entering her villa, she went and stood on the second-floor balcony, looking down coldly.
It was empty downstairs, and that luxury car was nowhere in sight.
Why did Anthony follow her, then? Did he want to seek pleasure in her suffering?
Heh. How ironic.
Most ironic of all, even though she no longer wanted to care for him and she had decided to remove this person from her life, her heart was jumbled up once more after seeing his car.
Charmine hated it, so she turned and went to the gym. As though releasing her anger, she ran quickly on the treadmill, beads of sweat dotting her face.
Ten or so minutes later, the doorbell rang.
She frowned. Who could it be? She told Alexander and the rest to not come, so they would not come.
The only possibility was...Anthony?
The moment his name flashed in her mind, Charmine lost focus and tripped, unable to catch up with the treadmill's speed, causing her to reel off of the machine horribly.
Her ankles twisted as she fell on her knees heavily.
"Argh!" Her face was pale as she cried out in pain.
Her knees began to bleed, and the doorbell still rang.
Charmine simply picked up a towel to wipe off the blood. She endured the pain as she staggered toward the door and looked at the CCTV, only to find out that it was Chris!
She opened the door and blurted in shock, "Why did you come, my dear?”
Chris' doe eyes twinkled at her, but just as he was about to reply, he noticed how Charmine's face seemed somewhat pale.
He gazed at her closer and noticed that her knees were bloodied.
Alarmed, Chris cried out, "Mommy, what happened to you?!" "It's nothing." Charmine tried to fend off to pain at her ankles as she pulled Chris inside.
"Don't worry, I'll sort it out myself."
She then walked off to find the medical aid box.
However, Chris saw her gait and found out that her knees were not the only body parts injured.
Did she twist her ankles?
He was so worried that his face crumpled like a bun. He instantly took out his phone to call Anthony, "Daddy, Mommy had a bad fall!" "What?"
Anthony's heart sank, and he quickly got out of his car and ran to the villa. " Open the door!" "Huh?" Chris was shocked. "Open the door?" "Come out and open the door!"
His Daddy was already here? So soon?
Instantly, he went out to open the door.
When Charmine came back with the medical box, she found an extra figure inside her villa.
She looked up to see the tall Anthony standing before her. He was in his black suit, looking expensive and handsome.
His handsome face seemed tense with an unnoticeable hint of worry. He looked right at her.
Charmine's heart fluttered. It felt as if they had never broken up...until her mind brought her back to the image of him sleeping with Waverly yesterday.
Her clear eyes were covered with a layer of frost. "You’re not welcome here," she snarled. "Get out!"
Anthony's eyes turned a few shades darker.
Why was her attitude so cold? Was she waiting for Maurice to treat her wound instead?
Was she worried that if he helped her, Maurice might see it and get jealous?
Anthony clenched his fists and felt his ego crushed by her feet.
He pursed his lips and felt his heart punctured, but the sight of her bloody, bruised legs that were once fair invoked worry in him.
He walked over, wanting to take over the medical box to treat her, but... Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Before he got close, Charmine took a step back and scoffed, "I told you to leave! Did you not understand?"
Chris was bewildered at what happened before his eyes.
Why was Charmine suddenly so cold to Anthony?
Anthony did not seem to care as he came toward her and lifted her anyway.
Every cell in Charmine repulsed this as she swung her fists at him. "Do not touch me! Get out! Get out of here!"
