Chapter 386


    What was Anthony thinking?


    Chris saw how the atmosphere shifted peculiarly, so he got up hurriedly and ran out of the living room


    On the second floor, he bumped into Robert who was about to go down, thus he quickly caught his arm


    and asserted, “Don’t go down. My Daddy and Mommy need alone time.”


    With that, he pulled Robert back into the room.


    Robert was baffled at his words.


    Alone time? During the day?! How frisky were Charmine and Anthony anyway?


    Back at the living room, Charmine continued, “There’s more than one photo. I wore four costumes in


    total.”


    After Julian rejected her first rabbit costume back then, Tiffanymented, “Eh? Julian doesn’t like


    this? Try on more-I’m sure one of them would please him. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure no one in the


    family finds out.”


    Charmine was too na?ve five years ago… She believed everything Tiffany told her!


    Foolishly, she tried on different costumes, including the half see-through ones.


    True to Tiffany’s word, the family did not know anything after that. On the other hand, Julian refused to


    see her for more than half a month; he liked an innocent and pure girl like Tiffany instead of a


    shameless woman who threw herself at him. If it was not for Charmine’s 15 percent portion of the


    Jordans’ family shares , Julian would have canceled their engagement instantly!


    Charmine snapped out of her thoughts and met Anthony’s gaze. “Four costumes, and one skimpier


    than the others. You’ll regret loving me, it’s still not toote to back out now.”


    Charmine preferred being honest instead of beating around the bush, and she would own up to


    everything she had done. So what if Anthony hated her for this? She was used to living alone anyway.


    However, when she saw Anthony’s fiery eyes, a strange sense of fear welled within her.


    She was scared that he would say goodbye… Scared that he would leave her.


    Strangely, she cared about what he thought of her…


    Consumed by the thought that he would despise her, it came as a surprise to Charmine hearing


    Anthony’s next words: “It’s not your fault.”


    Not her fault?


    Charmine gaped at that. Was that all in her head? Were her senses tricking her?


    Anthony’s firm, mature voice was heard as he added, “Loving a person and working hard to chase a


    person isn’t wrong. The person at fault is him. However…”


    He looked deep into her eyes. “Luckily, he made a mistake, and luckily, he didn’t care about you.”


    His hoarse voice was maic and sincere, very pleasant to the ears.


    Charmine’s heart skipped a beat. She knew what Anthony meant: He had a chance to be with her


    because Julian did not want her.


    Anyone who saw the photo would jeer her for it, yet Anthony said it was not her fault…


    She looked at the man in front of her. “Anthony, you’re too kind to me. How can I ever repay


    you?”


    Anthony sat down in front of her as he packed the checkers on the table and said, “Perhaps spend


    more time on me? Treat me half as nice as you treated Julian.”


    Half as nice?


    Anthony Bailey, wanting only half of her kindness?


    Charmine’s red lips curled up. “Sorry, but no.”


    No?


    Anthony’s face stiffened ominously.

    Was Julian so much more important to her, so much so that she would not even give him half of what


    she gave to Julian?


    “Charmine, can you tell me the percentage of your attention you can give me?”


    If she could not give half of it, could she not at least spare him some? Charmine looked at him, and her


    lips slowly curled up.
