Chapter 230
She had just decided to distance herself from Anthony this very afternoon, too...
Charmine began to have second thoughts. Was this all not too much of a coincidence? Momo said he was dizzy, but Anthony
then entered the room and hit him with the wooden stick..
Amid her convoluted thoughts, Charmine seemed to understand something... Anthony’s acting skill was too good. He pulled
such an act with his son just to share a bed with her? More surprisingly, that did not frustrate her. In fact, she could not even bear
to be angry with him. I f this went on, something could very well happen between them. 1
Charmine’s eyes narrowed as she made an important decision; she wanted to tell him the truth about herself. Anthony would find
out eventually, and Charmine was not a person who liked to hide the truth.
She thought carefully of the sentence she was about to say, and as she balled her fists tightly, Charmine confessed, “Anthony,
don’t fall for me. Nothing will happen between you and I. I was impregnated five years ago, and I gave birth to a baby...” 1
It felt like a heavy boulder was lifted off of her shoulders once she let it all out, though her heart ached without relief.
She was certain Anthony’s feelings for her would be wiped clean after that confession. It was over between them; their
relationship ended before it even began.
Charmine closed her eyes gradually as she waited for Anthony’s response. She waited and waited, but she never expected the
room to remain silent as ever, as though the drop of a pin could be heard.
Charmine frowned and looked toward Anthony’s direction. Under the moonlight, his eyes were shut, his brows relaxed. His facial
expression was calm and his breathing was steady.
Had he fallen asleep? He fell asleep so quickly!
Even after she built up enough courage to spill the beans, tell him the truth, he was asleep...
Charmine was furious! One should know how much courage and effort she needed in order for her to say this out loud, yet he...
1
‘Whatever! Perhaps it’s meant to be. We’ll speak about it tomorrow. As she recalled the Night of Glory event tomorrow night, she
had to force herself to fall asleep as soon as possible.
Morning came, and Charmine opened her eyes to see a bare and muscular chest. The scent was refreshing and pleasing.
Wait, what? What was this all about?!
Why was she laying in Anthony’s arm, and why was her head snuggled into his chest?
Was Chris not sleeping between them? How could this happen?
Also, where was Chris?
Charmine shot up right away to see that Chris was nowhere to be seen... It was just her and Anthony in the bedroom! Anthony
was laying on his side, with his legs pressed against her body!
“Anthony Bailey! Can you give me an explanation?!” Charmine scowled.
Anthony gradually opened his eyes. His just-woke-up face was less intimidating and cold, akin to a lethargic lion.
It took him three seconds for him to make sense of things, and it was only then when he said, “Explain what?”
“And you’re still pretending! Explain, why are you hugging me? Where’s Momo?” Charmine questioned him, wide-eyed.
“Hugging you?” Anthony frowned and reminded, “Shouldn’t this be my question to you? Miss Jordan, please have a look at your
current position. Shouldn’t you be explaining instead?” His voice was deep and magnetic.
Charmine then eyed their situation, and it only occurred to her then that it was more grave than what she thought!
