Chapter 266
“Five years ago, I was —”
“Mommy! Mommy!”
Before Charmine could finish, a small figure barged into the room. With a bowl of green soup a t hand,
Chris ran toward her and handed it to her. “Mommy, this is a soup that Daddy asked them to make for
you. It’s a secret recipe, and you won’t have any headache after drinking this.”
“Thank you, Little Momo.” Charmine went soft for Chris as she pinched his cheek. Once she epted
the bowl, she slurped the soup without hesitation.
Charmine then returned the bowl to Chris. “Mommy and Daddy have things to talk about. Why don’t
you go y downstairs first? Mommy wille find youter.”
Charmine made up her mind; Anthony would be told everything.
Unexpectedly, Chris replied, “Grandpa and Grandma called me earlier, saying that they’re arriving here
in half an hour.” Anthony had told Chris to stay downstairs, and if it was not because of the call, the boy
would have stayed downstairs.
Charmine’s brows furrowed. “What did you say? Your Grandpa and Grandma areing?”
“Yeah, Grandpa and Grandma said they want to discuss the birthday dinner with Daddy. It seemed
quite urgent,” Chris answered honestly.
Charmine immediately got out of the bed and turned to Anthony. “T’ll go back to the Violet Vi” she
affirmed, “so we can talkter.”
She could not let the Baileys know about her rtionship with Anthony. Since she would leave after two
months, there was no need to add more troubles to her te.
Anthony noted Charmine’s worry, thus he did not insist. “Drive safe,” he simply told her.
“Okay.”
As Charmine was about to leave, she recalled Chris’ confession days ago. She knelt before the boy
and held his shoulders warmly. “Momo can go to the gym and exercise when theye. You don’t
have to see Grandpa and Grandma.”

“Huh? Why?” Chris frowned. His dad and teachers taught him to be polite and to never run away from
problems.
Charmine then replied, “They don’t seem to like you, and they’ll scold you when they see you anyway.
Why bother sticking your warm face at their cold butts? Also, you’re not at fault, you’re innocent. Why
should you have to endure their insults and scoldings?
“You have to remember that you’re Mommy’s little prince. Mommy can’t stand seeing you
beingpromised, and you don’t have to! Mommy will be hurt if you do, do you know that?”
Chris nodded. “Alright, I promise, Mommy! For Mommy, I won’tpromise myself!”
It was only after Chris made his promise was Charmine confident enough to make her leave. Before
she left, she instructed the maids, “Keep my things away.”
After Charmine’s departure, Anthony changed out of his pajamas and kept the three sets of pajamas in
a box.
Momentster, Darryl Bailey and Susan ydon stepped into the mansion with the eldest daughter of
the Houstons, McKenzie Houston.
McKenzie was dressed in a halterneck dress with diamonds. ttered with snowy fair skin, she had an
elegant temperament as though she was an angel from heaven.
With bowed heads, all the maids greeted them, “Sir, Madam, Ms. Houston.”
The three of them did not flinch as they walked into the hall; they exuded an air of grace as if nothing in
the world could surprise them.
Anthony remainedying on the sofa with a wine ss in his hand and made no effort to stand and
greet them.
“Your parents are in front of you,” Darryl called out to him with a displeased tone. “What attitude is
this?”
Anthony nced at them coldly. “Oh? Then how about everyone walk out again so I can ask them to
prepare the red-carpet for you to walk on?”
“You! You’re an *sshole!” Darryl growled, the green veins on his neck protruding in the process.
Susan hastily pulled on his arm tofort him. “Darryl, Anthony has been like this since young, don’t
get too caught up with it. Don’t forget why we’re here today.”
“Hmph!” Darryl made a sound of indignation before he snapped, “You’re getting engaged with
McKenzie on my sixtieth birthday!” Get engaged with McKenzie!
