Chapter 76


    Oliver felt an uneasy feeling stirred at the pit of his belly; he could not understand why he felt this way.


    Suddenly, Charmine raised her long leg swiftly, and with a sweeping kick, the sound of something


    crumpling could be heard.


    Just like that, the once fresh and vibrant angel trumpets were crushed by her force. As theyid on the


    ground, only bare stalks devoid of flowers were left in the bouquet Oliver was still holding onto. “If we’re


    done here, you should scram!” Charmine snapped at the still-rooted Oliver.

    Charmine used to be soft and docile. When did she be so wild and willful? She was too much of a


    savage!


    Chris, who was sitting in the car, gleefully pped as he chirped, “Mommy is so beautiful! That’s how


    you do it! Daddy, you should hurry up and pursue Mommy. You still have a chance! Hurry up and win


    her over! You can’t let the other guy steal her!”


    Anthony appeared to ponder the boy’s words. ‘Pursue her? How do I do that? With Charmine’s


    personality, it was very likely that she’d ignore me too.’


    Anthony looked at Nial, still unhappy, and said, “I’m not the one who is a self-proimed expert at


    rtionships. Why aren’t you saying anything now?”


    “I don’t know,” Nial replied hastily, “I don’t know anything! I’m only a driver right now; a very responsible


    and hard-working driver


    Responsible? Hard-working? Anthony’s lips curled into a faint, amused smile. “I have an idea,” he


    spoke as he turned to Chris, “so just do as I say.”


    Once everything was over, Charmine walked swiftly to the car park. She hopped onto her motorcycle


    and was prepared to leave when she heard a youthful, adorable voice yelling, “Mommy! Mommy!” 1


    Charmine turned around and saw Anthony carrying Chris as they walked toward her. Chris’ little body


    sat astride Anthony’s shoulders; he looked small and cute. In contrast, Anthony’s body appeared


    muscr and strong. A handsome man and a cute child… It was a sight for sore eyes.


    Charmine frowned. “What are you both doing here?” she asked. Her tone of voice made it clear that


    she was not pleased to see them. Anthony was already used to her frosty treatment and responded


    calmly, ” Thest time we met, you taught me a lot about looking after a child, and I remember every


    word. Coincidentally, Momo’s kindergarten is hosting a trip today, and I took the day off especially for it.


    We’re preparing to bring Momo to an amusement park.”


    Charmine’s expression looked a little less stern. She was pleasantly surprised to know Anthony was


    learning from his mistakes and making a change.


    Anthony continued by saying, “However, this will be the first time that I’m bringing Momo out like this.


    Furthermore, we’re going to a crowded ce, and I’m worried that I won’t be able to look after him well.


    This is why I’ve especiallye to seek your guidance, to learn the methods.” 1


    “Well…” Charmine looked at his serious and earnest demeanor and started to instruct him in all


    seriousness, “Momo is still young, so don’t y anything that is too extreme. For example, the


    rollercoaster or the pendulum ride are both unsuitable for him. Another thing to note is that the


    amusement park is full of people, so you’ll have to watch him carefully. You might lose him in the crowd


    if you’re not careful. Also—”


    Suddenly, Chris began to sob audibly. “I—I want Mommy to protect me! Daddy is a man, and he’s not


    careful…! He’s already lost me ny-eight times!”


    “N—Ny-eight times? That’s too often!” gasped Charmine.


    Chris pitifully nodded and added, “It doesn’t matter if we’re out shopping or when he’s at work, or


    whether we’re at a banquet or a party. Daddy will always forget about me and lose me. I don’t feel safe


    with him! I don’t want to go to the amusement park with Daddy! I’m not going!”


    “Momo, be good. I’ll watch you carefully this time. Moreover, this is a trip organized b y your


    kindergarten. All of your friends will b e there, too. If you aren’t there, they’ll tease you,” came


    Anthony’s patient persuasion.


    However, as soon as Chris heard his words, h e started to cry even louder. It was like he remembered


    something and was traumatized. “No… No! No, I’m not going! I’m not going! I don’t want to go…! No!”


    Chris sniffed and wailed.


    As he cried and struggled against Anthony, his little limbs flung in all directions. In the confusion, he


    jumped out of Anthony’s arms andnded into Charmine’s embrace.
