chapter 1664
Charmine placed her arms behind her head. Since she was used to sleeping early and waking up early, tiredness gnawed at her.
Not wanting to trouble herself anymore, she shut her eyes and gently fell asleep.
A long while later, late at night...
It was quiet when the bathroom door slowly opened.
Anthony had bathed in ice-cold water for a few hours before he managed to repress his carnal urges, and only then did he exit the bathroom.
He spotted Charmine, who had fallen asleep on the sofa, and frowned.
She actually fell asleep?
He endured the harsh, bone-shaking ice-cold water of a shower, while she laid here as if nothing was happening?
She looked so comfortable, just dozing off like that!
Did she not care for him...at all?
Anthony felt his anger rising in his chest, but as he watched how unbothered Charmine was, his heart sank, 1
What right did he have to blame her? He was the one who pushed her away, and it was he who broke her heart so cold-bloodedly, i
He was the reason why she was so ruthless.
At least she did not leave him alone in the house. Looking at it this way, it was not bad.
She must have harbored fondness for him still, regardless of how faint they were, did she not?
Why else would she stay? Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Touched at the thought, his gaze turned murky with his emotions whirling together.
His body, despite being racked with coldness, grew warmer, and he unconsciously made his way toward Charmine. Reaching her side at the sofa, he gulped as he studied her delicate, perfect face.
Even though he had deep desires for her, he knew Charmine.
With lips pursed into a tight line, Anthony stretched out his arms, enduring the pain that tormented one of his arms, and carefully took her into his arms. He brought her into the room and placed her in bed, draping the blanket over her form.
Luckily, Charmine was asleep the whole time, unaware of what had happened.
Anthony stood by the bed and gazed at Charmine fondly and affectionately. Perhaps this was the only time when he could show his true feelings for her.
After watching her for a very long time, he could not help bending down to place a gentle peck on her cheek.
Following that, he looked at her deeply and then gently walked out of the room to rest on the sofa.
Chris and Chloe woke up early the following morning and made chicken soup. They then went back to the small house and knocked on the door.
Anthony, who was on the sofa, jolted awake at the knocks before standing up, albeit listlessly so. It felt like he was walking on clouds.
Following that, he felt a severe headache, and his breathing was labored.
Frowning, he felt his forehead...and realized it was burning hot.
He bathed in ice-cold water for a few hours last night and slept on the sofa, not keeping warm the whole night.
Did he catch a cold?
Anthony did not bother, however. He withstood the pain and walked to open the door, revealing a starry-eyed Chris.
"Daddy, how was last night?”
Anthony looked at him coldly and answered hoarsely, "You're a kid. Why ask so much?"
Chris squinted at Anthony's voice.
Why did he sound like this?
Meeting the boy's gaze, a thought occurred to Anthony. "Speak softer; your Mommy is resting in the bedroom. She must be tired from last night."
Chris was stunned.
Did his father just imply.Jhat he and Charmine got back together?
Hehehe!
Chris finally let out a sigh of relief and walked in with Chloe.
Meanwhile...
Charmine, inside the bedroom, could hear murmurs and footsteps outside and woke up before frowning in confusion at her surroundings.
Was she not sleeping on the sofa? Since when did she come into the bedroom?
Did Anthony carry her here?
Goodness. His wounded arm would hurt even more if he slept on the sofa last night!
