Chapter 556


    Charmine then recalled how she was too into work that she had forgotten about Anthony and Chris.


    Instantly, she carried Momo to the bed and sat down, patting him gently and coaxed, “I’m so sorry,


    Momo, it’s Mommy’s fault, but today’s my first day taking charge of thepany, so I was busy with


    many things. Mommy promises that this will never happen again, but you also have to promise Mommy


    that in case Mommy forgets again, you give me a call instead of doing something dangerous, okay?”


    “Okay!” Chris cuddled in her arms.


    His soft body was like a kitten, incredibly therapeutic. Charmine embraced the boy, and all of her


    worries had instantly vanished. She wanted to talk to Chris more when he said, “Mommy, can I sleep


    here tonight? I’m sleepy… Can you sing me a luby?” 1 That felt off. He just came and was already


    tired? Charmine shrugged that off, however, reasoning that it was natural since he was still a child and


    should be sleeping early. “Okay, stay here with Mommy tonight, and Mommy will send you home


    tomorrow morning.” Thankfully, the Jordans had not hired maids nor security guards.


    If she woke up at five and took the less-taken route, they would not bump into anyone. “Thank you,


    Mommy!” Chris chirped happily and leaned backward. “Mwah!” He kissed her on her cheek. Charmine


    felt loved as she helped him take off his shoes. She then ced him on the bed and gently patted his


    back. In order to avoid unnecessary attention, she sang the luby very softly. Chris fell asleep quickly,


    a satisfied smile adorning his adorable, squishy face. It merely took him a few minutes to fall asleep.


    Charmine frowned. Why was it so easy to put Chris to sleep? Why did he fall asleep so easily? 1 She


    did not dwell on the thought, though. She spotted dirt and marks from him climbing earlier, and a look


    of warmth and guilt appeared on her face. Chris was only five, yet he came out from Violet Vi to visit


    her, climbing the window just so she would not get into trouble… He was so young yet so thoughtful,


    but that did not change the fact that it could have been fatal! What if an ident happened? Although


    she was really busy, she was merely using work to numb and distract herself; she would have thought


    of Anthony and Annabel had she not done so. She wanted to stay far away from them, but they…


    Charmine took a deep breath and covered Chris with a nket. Suddenly, his children-phone fell out,


    the screen showing the message Chris had sent to Anthony: (Daddy, I’m going out. I’ll leave the


    glowing footprints for you all the way. You’ll find me by following my footprints.] Charmine’s eyelids


    twitched. Chris left glowing footprints behind? So Anthony would follow his footsteps here? Then…


    Was Anthony on his way to the Jordan mansion? How would Anthonye? Walk in the front gate or


    climb in via the window like Chris…?

    Charmine felt uneasy at the thought. At that moment, she heard gentle knocksing from the


    window. Charmine looked over to see Anthony jumping in lithely from the window. Hended on his


    feet. Anthony was dressed in ck shirt and bottoms as if he was a king of the night dressed in the


    color of the night sky; elegant and powerful. His facial features, above all, were the true thunder-


    stealers that could send a person’s heart racing like a stampede. Charmine’s eyes darkened as she


    tried her best to remain calm. “You didn’t have toe, I can send Chris back…”


    “I didn’te for him,” replied Anthony in a low voice. He did not look away from her as he walked


    toward her, one step at a time.
