Chapter 1617
It rained heavily.
Chris had a thought and ran back to Anthony's house. He looked around and went to the fence.
Picking up a stick, he smacked the tiles that made up the house. Instantly, the tiles broke.
Clapping with an impish grin on his face, he covered his head and ran back to Charmine.
Anthony and Luke were still working when they felt rain droplets on their heads.
Anthony frowned. He looked up to see that the roof was broken. The rain fell inside through that hole, effectively drenching him.
Luke quickly packed up the documents, and by the time everything was packed, both of them were drenched. The house started to flood.
Anthony looked at the flooded house and had a thought. He had a smile as he walked out.
He opened the door, walked into the front yard of the bamboo house, and knocked.
Charmine came out and saw the man in front of her. He was pale and entirely soaked.
The water flowed down his exquisite face. His white shirt was stuck to his well-built body.
Her heart sank. How could Anthony Bailey look like this?
However, she quickly suppressed her emotions.
She had a calm look on her face as she looked at him coldly.
As he was about to speak, she cruelly shut the door with a loud slam.
Anthony was speechless.
Did she not see how drenched he was?
Anthony knocked again. "Chris, open the door! My house is flooded, and I have nowhere to stay!"
Chris looked at Charmine. Seeing how calm she was, he sighed and shouted in reply, "I can't help you."
Anthony's face darkened.
A wave of stomach ache inflicted him, and he began struggling to breathe. All that, and the door before him was still shut!
Inside the house, Chris was speaking to Charmine, "Mommy, why don't we let Daddy come in and stay with us? His house is flooding, and he can't sleep in there."
Charmine was extremely calm. "That's his problem."
Chris continued, "Daddy has a stomach ache, and his house is flooding. He has nothing with him. If he catches a cold, what can we do? Why don’t we let him in and take a warm bath?"
Charmine remain unconcerned, however, as she spoke nonchalantly, "If he can’t stay in there, the village chief will make arrangements for him. It's none of my business."
Anthony heard their conversation outside, and he felt a sharp stab in his chest.
Even if his stomach was hurting, even if his house was broken, she did not seem to pity him at all!
She would at least care about a stranger, but him? She did not even have a care in the world!
He was not even a stranger to her!
He clenched his fists and went back to his house, letting the rain crash against him.
Luke was worried. "Boss, what are you doing?" This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Anthony was standing in the rain, and he looked at him. "Ignore it. Bring the documents and laptop to the community house." "Boss..." "Hurry!" snapped Anthony.
Luke was speechless and thought of how important these documents were. They would lose a few hundred millions if the papers were ruined!
He had to do as he was told. He fixed the documents and left.
Anthony remained standing in the yard, ignoring the rain that pelted him.
His eyes darkened as he looked at the lit room.
This was his final bet.
He believed that she would not leave him unattended if he were to faint.
