Anthony halted. Right, he almost forgot that if it was not for Coco, that if Derek taught his daughter correctly, Charmine would not have ended up like this!Derek must have done this on purpose! He would never forgive those who hurt Charmine!His reddened eyes turned cold. He looked at a demon from hell. Annabel said, “President Bailey, go on. And wash up. I will stay here to look after Miss Charmine. When you come back, she will be awake.” Anthony glanced at Annabel. Thinking of how considerate she had been over the past five days, he did not suspect her and stood up to leave. When he went out of the ward, Anthony phoned Luke, “Within three days, get hold of all of Derek’s shares. I want him with nothing left and reputation ruined!” … Late at night, inside the ward. Annabel was sitting by the bed, looking at Charmine who was not waking up, her pale face was filled with guilt. She looked at the clock inside the ward, the time was getting closer to twelve. Tonight
Anthony could only try her best to stay calm. She shook her pale face and said in a wronged tone, “Miss Charmine, I don’t know what you’re talking about…I didn’t want to hurt you, really. I saw the pipe tilted and so I wanted to help you fix it…” “Ha! You’re still denying it at this moment? It seems that you won’t admit it!” Charmine clapped her hands. Instantly, the door was opened again and Kay came in with Felix. When Felix saw the crowd, he pointed his finger at Annabel and said, “This woman asked me to ruin the motorcycle and then act along with her. She then paid me handsomely. She is the mastermind!: Annabel glared at him and growled, “No! It wasn’t me! Someone must have bribed you!” “Ha! I knew you would deny it, so I recorded you!” Felix smiled and took out his phone from the pocket. He played out the recording of his conversation with Annabel. Instantly, everyone heard the deal between Felix and Annabel. Anyone could tell that the gentle voice belonged to Annabe
Anthony walked in and asked her from behind, “Would you like me to help you?” Charmine was speechless. “I’m not actually ill, so no?” Since he was being overly nice today, she found it hard to get used to it. Anthony looked at her and curled up his lips, “You’re my wife, of course I should take good care of you!” His tone was very loving. Although it was only a show in the past five days, when he saw her laying there, he felt as if he had actually lost her. It felt horrible and therefore, he treasured her even more now. Charmine saw the look on his face and could not help laughing, “If you really want to help, go to the backyard to get me some flower petals for the bath.” The flowers in the backyard were all planted by Anthony for her. He did so for her to see the flowers without having to go out. So that she could be happy. “Okay.” Anthony ruffled her hair and lowered his head to kiss her forehead before turning to leave. The backyard was dark, there was only
Annabel looked at him with her watery eyes, she looked so harmless and innocent. While Anthony remained cold and unmoved. He was not shocked by this so-called “secret”. Annabel looked at him perplexed, “President Bailey, are you not shocked that it wasn’t me whom you slept with five years ago?” Anthony scoffed, “I feel lucky!” His tone was cold with a hint of disgust. It was as if he wanted nothing to do with this woman! Since he had figured this out some time ago. When Annabel heard this, her pale face turned even paler. She bit her pale lips and said, “Have you forgotten about when we were still students? You…” “Shut up!” Anthony glared at her, “I merely pitied you, I felt nothing for you! No matter in the past or present, I will never like a fake woman like you!” He said coldly and turned to leave. “Anthony Bailey!” Annabel growled at him. Anthony did not stop and continued to walk forward. Annabel panicked, she said, “You slept with Charmine five years a
When she got dressed, the door was opened… Charmine was sitting before the mirror. She saw it was Anthony walking toward her! Charmine asked, “You didn’t go off to work?” “It’s still early.” Anthony walked over to her and looked at her stunning face through the mirror. He had a complex look in his eyes. He was worried and felt unsettled. He did not know how Charmine would react after she learned the truth. Thinking of how she might leave him and that she might disappear in his life, his heart clenched and his breathing halted. Charmine saw his darkened face and frowned, “Something’s on your mind?” “Nothing.” Anthony said, “I made porridge and your favourite dishes. Come down to have a try.” “Okay.” Charmine stood up and Anthony held her hand in his palm. After having breakfast, Anthony thought about it and felt that he should say it to her at a special occasion. Anthony sat before Charmine and said, “My darling, are you free at night?” “Why?” Anthony looked up
It was not that she never suspected. She even tried to find out but every time this matter got neglected halfway. Since her blood type was completely different from Chris', she grew less suspicious… Annabel continued, “Five years ago, you were framed by Tiffany. However, the man who was supposed to rape you were late. While Anthony saw you and slept with you. If you don’t believe me, you may go and ask Anthony yourself!” Charmine was shocked and perplexed! Though Annabel spoke with such certainty, this was not fake… Thinking how Anthony had been acting weird lately, so he… The man who ruined her life five years ago, the one who made her a victim, and caused her to be sent away was Anthony!? It was Anthony!? Annabel saw the look on her face, Annabel looked satisfied, “Furthermore, he knew this all long! But he didn’t tell you! He wants to keep this from you and lie to you!” Charmine clenched her fists and exuded chills all over. Suddenly, she walked over and her heel
Anthony felt bad with her looking at him. He gulped, “Five years ago, I hurt you. I know there’s no use for me to say anything to you. You may hit me, scold me or put me to jail. Please, don’t do anything silly?” His voice was anxious and urgent, though his tone was gentle. Charmine looked at him coldly, “You knew this all long, why did you lie to me?” Anthony met her disappointed eyes and he could not breathe. He took a few steps forward, “I didn’t do it on purpose but…” He was afraid that once she learned about the truth, she might be in pain as of now. He was also afraid that she might do anything silly. Afraid that their difficult marriage would be over… He had always wanted to come clean to her but he lacked the courage to… Anthony’s eyes darkened with guilt, he said with a serious voice, “It’s all myself but do remember, you’re Charmine Jordan. You should punish me and not yourself. Listen to me, come down, alright?” As he spoke, he reached his hand out at her.
Anthony looked at her darkly, he found it hard to believe. Charmine did not hate him and she genuinely thought so? How lucky was he to have married such a nice woman? Charmine smiled at him and reached out her arm. Under the fireworks, her smile was wide and gentle. Anthony walked toward her and hugged her tightly. He lifted her off the edge. He felt her body in his arms. His tightened chest finally loosened up. He looked at her and said with a serious tone, “Charmine, thank you for looking at it this way. Please, can you not make such a joke in the future!?” God knows how worried he was. And this place was so dangerous, if anything happened… Charmine saw how worried he was, she hooked her arms around his neck. “It won’t happen again. We will be so loving in the future…” With that said, she leaned in to kiss his lips. Anthony hugged her waist and deepened the kiss. The both of them stood on the balcony, making out passionately. The fireworks bloomed above
