Chapter 106
Living on her own, she did not need to do a lot. The most convenient go-to meal for her was instant
noodles. Because of this, she had even discovered a new way to prepare a self heating box meal…
Chris noticed that she was motionless and walked up to her to tug on her hand and said, “Mommy,
mommy, hurry up and eat. It’s so nice to eat barbequed meat when it’s raining outside. Everything’s
extremely delicious.” As he spoke, he pulled her toward the table.
Charmine saw the heavy rain outside from the corner of her eye and had to give up on her intention of
kicking them out as she sat down at the table. Anthony sat across from her, cooking up some pork
belly. His hand movements were extremely skillful as he wielded a pair of tongs and flipped the meat
over. Anthony quickly brushed on a small amount of oil before sprinkling some salt, pepper, cumin, and
other spices. Very quickly, the air was filled with the mouth-watering smell of barbequed meat.
Charmine furrowed her brow and thought, ‘How can this person who was so clueless about cooking not
long ago now be able to handle a barbeque so well?’ She suddenly noticed arge blister on the back
of Anthony’s arm, clearly caused by a burn.
She frowned. “Did you take lessons just so you could learn how to do this?”
“Yup.” Anthony selected a piece of pork belly that was done cooking and wrapped it in a piece of
lettuce in a cool and elegant manner. He rolled it up before holding it up in front of Charmine. “Taste it.”
Charmine saw a look of affectionate care on his face, making her feel as if they were husband and
wife. How could that be when they had only met a few times…
She blinked. “I’ll do it myself.” Having said that, she picked u p a piece of pork belly and started to cook
it.
Anthony’s eyes seemed to show a glimpse of disappointment. However, he did not put his arm down.
Instead, he fixed his gaze upon her and said in a low voice, “Ms. Jordan, on the ount of the injury on
my arm, won’t you give this a taste?”
His deep, rich voice had a maic quality that would make anyone unable to resist him. Curiously,
Charmine agreed despite her previous resolve.
Anthony’s lips curved upward slightly. He stretched out his hand which was carrying the lettuce-
wrapped meat closer to Charmine’s lips. Charmine subconsciously opened her mouth, but her lower lip
identally brushed against Anthony’s fingertips. At that moment, both of them froze, stunned by the
unique sensation that spread slowly across their bodies.
Charmine frowned as if she had seen a ghost. She wondered if she had developed some kind of heart
problem recently. It
seemed like she needed to take time out of her schedule to book a full body examination!
On the other hand, Anthony’s smile deepened. He picked up another piece of barbequed meat and
popped it into his mouth. He then sucked on his fingertips after he was done,
stared at them, and dered, “Mmm, it tastes pretty good.”

Charmine’s face turned bright red at that moment. His demeanor… Was heplimenting the vor of
the meat or…
While she pondered this, Anthony finished cooking arge Argentine lobster and carried a piece up
before her lips again. H e had just sucked on his fingers a moment ago and now he was using that
same hand to feed her?
“I don’t… Oh…” As soon as she opened her mouth, Anthony stuffed the lobster in. Charmine felt like
her head was going to explode. This was like an indirect kiss!
“Anthony!”
“I’m here, what’s up?” Anthony gazed at her nonplussed.
Charmine scowled. ‘How can a man have such thick skin? It looks like I’ll have to spell it out for him!’
She turned to Chris and said, “Momo, there’s some orange juice in the fridge upstairs. Would you be
able to help mommy get it, please?”
“Sure thing, Momo will get it!” Chris put down his utensils before skipping off to get it.
Anthony furrowed his brow slightly. Charmine came up with a
n excuse just to get Momo out of the room. What on earth could she want to talk to him about with just
the two of them alone? At that moment, it did not seem like anything good.
