Chapter 255


    At the same time, Charmine arrived at the Baileys’ mansion in her motorbike. She saw Chris seated in


    the living room, focused on hisptop.


    Warily, she asked, “Momo, where’s your Daddy?”


    “Daddy went out and isn’t back yet. Why are you back so early, Mommy?” Chris put down hisptop


    and ran toward Charmine. He stopped right before her and reached his arms, to which Charmine


    habitually responded by picking him up into her arms. “Did your Daddy drive?” Charmine frowned. “Or


    was Luke driving?”


    “Uncle Luke drove,” Chris answered.


    Charmine made a quick mental calction. Luke’s driving speed was at about 40 kilometers per hour.


    From the mansion to Green Café, it only needed 25 minutes maximum. Charmine took up half an hour


    toe home, so why was Anthony home yet? Perhaps she was wrong all along? Perhaps Anthony


    did not care about her words and went on to meet Tiffany? A wave of uneasiness hit Charmine as she


    ced Chris on the sofa and took out her phone to call Anthony


    Beep, beep, beep!


    The waiting sound was heard instead, followed by aputerized voice that said, “Sorry, the number


    you have called is unavable.”


    Charmine’s brows furrowed; nobody picked up. Perhaps Anthony really was in trouble? She turned to


    Chris. “Do you have Uncle Luke’s phone number?”


    “Sorry, Mommy, I don’t,” Chris answered. He continued anxiously, “Mommy, do you think Daddy is in


    trouble? When Daddy left this morning, he said he was off to a very important meeting, concerning


    Mommy’s future happiness. He left so quickly and canceled all his meetings in the afternoon. I tried


    calling Daddy ten minutes ago, but he didn’t pick up nor did he return my call until now.”


    Charmine frowned. Nobody picked up, even from 10 minutes ago?


    Anthony was a responsible man, and it was unlikely for him to not pick up twice! Something was wrong.


    She turned to Momo Chris right away. “Momo, you stay home, alright? Mommy will go and look for


    Daddy.”


    “Okay!” Chris nodded.


    Charmine picked up her motorbike key and rushed to the door hastily. Her mind was overwhelmed with


    the thoughts of the agarwood perfume’s effects. She was the one who developed, thus she knew it


    better than anyone else. A normal medication would make a person feel unwell and unstoppable, but if


    their willpower was strong enough, it could be resisted. However, this agarwood perfume could induce


    hallucinations and distort the image of whoever they were seeing into someone else, working from the


    mind. Thus, however strong the willpower was, they would not be able to resist it. If Anthony really slept


    with Tiffany because of her…

    Charmine felt white-hot anger just at the thought of it. Overwhelmed by her thoughts, she did not see a


    solid figure in her way and bumped into the hard wall of flesh.


    In pain, Charmine raised her head to see who it was, and her brows instantly tightened. It was Anthony!


    Aloof, handsome, and regal in his well-trimmed suit. He seemed as if nothing had happened.


    She asked with a frown, “You’re home? Why didn’t you pick up?”


    “Hmm?” Anthony noted her rather panicked look as he shifted his gaze to Chris.


    Anthony, 10 minutes ago, used Luke’s phone to call and check in with Chris. He told him that his phone


    stopped working, and he even warned that if Charmine came home, he had tofort her.


    Looking at his father’s concerned gaze, Chris made a face with a naughty grin. “Daddy, I liedt o


    Mommy saying that you’re in trouble. Mommy rushed out looking for you, so Mommy does care about


    you! Haha! Have fun!” With that, he scurried away, wobbling in his short legs.


    Charmine was dumbfounded.


    So, the little boy tricked him, huh?


    Anthony’s face seemingly brightened in an instant. With his eyes still on her, he teased, “You worried


    about me?”
