"Don't worry about it. It is my duty, after all," said the doctor as she then continued to arrange the plates.
Even then, Charmine did not return to Chris and Anthony, which Chris noticed.
"Now, Mommy's mad!" he scoffed at Anthony.
Anthony glanced at him. "Go and make her happy, then."
Chris, baffled by his response, glared at Anthony heatedly. "You're a big meanie! If it wasn't for you, Mommy wouldn’t be so mad at me! I don’t want to help you anymore." 2
Shooting Chris a cold glare, Anthony then proposed a tempting offer, "Do you want your Mommy to get back with me? Do you want your Mommy to bring you a sister? Someone as cute as Chloe?"
Chris paused for a moment and nodded. "Yes!"
With a pout, Chris walked away and looked for Chloe to verify their plan B.
At eight minutes past eight, the villagers beat their drums as the men held sticks that propped up a large golden lion, dancing around the field as they did.
The women, on the other hand, danced even more energetically along with them.
The celebration was grand and majestic.
Charmine held on to Chris and stood by the side, watching the dance. Riddled with curiosity, Chris's watery eyes twinkled as he piped up to Charmine, "What a sight, Mommy. It's the first time I’ve seen
this!" "It’s my first time watching it, too!" responded Charmine. Seeing how giddy and elated Chris was made her feel like this visit was worth it after all.
Taking Chris out to see the glitz and glamor of the city so repetitively was unnecessary. The traditional lion dance and village dance to the exciting drum beats were more sensational.
This, after all, could barely be spotted in the city!
Meanwhile...
Anthony stood in a dark corner. With a wine glass in one hand and a cigarette with another, he gazed at Charmine conflictingly.
It was as if the lively atmosphere around him did not faze him at all; his entire world was quiet.
He could only see Charmine in his eyes. Any sight was incomparable to her beauty, i
Too seized by the sight of Charmine, he was unaware that Harry got to his side, who sat next to Anthony and lit his cigarette.
Harry glanced at Anthony, who had his eyes fixed on the crowd.
"Seems like President Bailey is enjoying himself." This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Anthony looked at him coldly. "Not as much as you, President Cogen."
Harry scoffed. "Someone intentionally trapped me in the mountain in hopes of getting Seaview Land. It almost cost me my life. Some debts are due to be paid."
Harry's tone sounded ominous, as if seeking revenge.
In other words, with Anthony in his territory, Harry could do anything to him.
Anthony scoffed nonchalantly. "That's because you had no game. If you want to play, I’m happy to play with you."
Harry smirked at that, but his handsome face was as calm as ever. He even raised his glass to click with Anthony's.
"You haven't changed a bit-arrogant as ever.
Clinking his glass with Harry's, Anthony took a sip, his entire being emanating coldness. "Just get used to it."
At that moment, Charmine walked to the table to cut some meat for Chris, overhearing their conversation in the process.
Was Anthony at odds with that man?
Well, this did not surprise her that much. Anthony always had a lot of enemies after him.
Charmine shrugged it off and brought the meat to Chris before continuing to watch the festivity with him.
Dior, meanwhile, was dancing with the villagers. Spotting Charmine, she walked up to her and tugged at her hand.
"Charmine, come and join me!"
Charmine, however, shook her head. "No, I'm good. I’ll just watch."
Dior pouted at that and looked around before she saw Harry sitting on his own. No longer wanting to dance, she proceeded to cut a few slices of meat and walked toward him.
