Chapter 1685
Anthony walked out of the kitchen while Charmine walked back inside, stirring the sliced fish cubes that she took out from the fridge and chopping chives and parsleys. Once done, she added a few squeezes of lime into the plate, stirring it once more, and brought it out in bowls.
Chris gulped as he ogled the smoothie and the bowls of ceviche. "Mommy, they look delicious!" "Have more, then," offered Charmine.
"Alright, then!" Chris instantly took up his fork and started eating. Charmine remained calm as she, too, started eating, and elegantly so.
Anthony, meanwhile, sat just opposite her, his gaze growing conflicted as he became emotional.
Did she hate him that much? He still had his fever, and having cold food like these would upset his stomach further!
Charmine was a clever woman; she definitely knew about this!
Did she...do this on purpose? Was it to kick him out of here?
Still, how could he leave her like this?
Anthony stared at the ice-cold ceviche and dug in regardless.
Even if this was arsenic, he would still eat them all.
He narrowed his eyes and acted oblivious, his handsome face calm as he picked up the fork and started eating.
Charmine, noticing just how Anthony enjoyed himself, could not help looking at him.
Was he genuinely not aware of what happened? No, he would not be that much of a fool.
Did this mean...that he knew what was happening yet chose to eat these dishes, still?
Charmine pursed her lips and grew conflicted with this, thus she looked away and continued eating.
Anthony finished his bowl of ceviche silently, and he did not even leave out the ice cubes, too. Once done, he picked up the smoothie by the side and drank it all up...much to Charmine's surprise.
She noticed how his face grew pale and visibly tense. He looked in pain but tried so hard to cover it up.
Meeting her gaze, Anthony played it cool as he gently said, "Thank you for the delicious meal. See you tomorrow."
As if in a hurry, he did not even wait for Chris and Charmine to react before he left the house quickly.
Charmine felt disconcerted as she watched Anthony’s retreating form. Why did he finish the food, even though he suffered from eating them?
What was Anthony trying to do? 3
Upon reaching the side of the road, Anthony’s stomach was so upset that he could not hold back from throwing up. This went on for a good while, and he threw up so much that he grew lightheaded.
Zoe, meanwhile, was on her way to see if, by chance, Charmine was suddenly dead. After crossing the bridge, however, she spotted Anthony standing on his own.
Was he throwing up?
Heh. Perfect timing!
She had to use this time to take care of him and win his heart!
With her eyes shining calculatingly, Zoe hurried to Anthony's side, reaching to grab his arm as she fretted, "President Bailey..."
Upon contact, however, Anthony instinctively flung her hand away.
He snapped out of his thoughts and saw the person in front of him. Visibly irked, he snapped, "Go away!"
Zoe acted as if he did not hear him. She stood by his side and asked caringly, "President Bailey, what happened? Why are you throwing up so badly?" Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Zoe’s voice, not too loud or soft, was heard by Charmine, who was inside the house.
Anthony threw up?
Charmine squinted as she walked out of the house.
When she opened the door, she saw Anthony, face lost of its lively color. He threw up so much that he struggled to stand upright.
Zoe, meanwhile, stood by his side, seemingly caring as she gently rubbed his back.
Spotting them both, Charmine's red lips curled into a smirk. She glanced at Anthony proudly and remarked, "You asked for this. Do you think I'd be touched that you finished the meal? Funny-you only look like a fool to me!"
