chapter 626
''Yes, and you don''t have to feel like you owe me. What happened between President Bailey and I was an ident.
Other than this, the time we spent together was less than you did with him. You also know that even if I marry into
the Bailey family, how would the Baileys approve of me with who I am? How can I get past McKenzie?

"Instead of being entangled with the Bailey family''s internal conflict, why not live a quiet and peaceful life with my
parents? Therefore, Ms. Jordan, you and President Bailey should stay together. I fully support you two together." 1
Annabel gazed at Charmine with her doe-like eyes, sincere and encouraging.
Charmine felt that everything was happening too suddenly; everything had changed so suddenly.
Was this the so-called ''things will develop in the opposite direction once they reach the most extreme point''?
Despite what happened, however, Charmine felt like something was off as she looked at Annabel''s innocent face.
She felt uneasy, restless...
Noticing her doubt, Anthony''s hand remained on her waist as he informed Luke, "Arrange for Ms. Annabel to be
admitted and prepare for the operation tomorrow."
''Yes, Sir!" Luke went ahead to bring Annabel.
Before Annabel left, she looked at Charmine and gave her a sweet and innocent smile. "Ms. Jordan, don''t
overthink it. You have to be happy with President Bailey.”
Those words rang in her mind and worsened her anxiety instead of easing it.
Even she did not know where this uneasiness wasing from. 2
The Jordans saw how Anthony held Charmine, and they were relieved. Wisely, they left silently, leaving
space for the two.
There were only Anthony and Charmine left in the balcony.
Charmine felt Anthony''srge hand gripping her waist tightly, so tight that she was unable to breathe.
''You may let me go now," she blurted. "I''m not silly; you don''t have to hold me."
"If you''re not silly, would you have done this to threaten me?" Anthony red at her, his eyes darker
than usual.
God knew how worried he was when he received Charmine''s call. His usually calmed heart had never
raced so rapidly before.
What a woman she was-she gave him the life-or-death experience at 120 beats per second.
Charmine fell silent.
She had no intention of jumping off...
Knowing Anthony, she knew he would not sort it out right away while she was more definite. She did
not want to dwell on this for too long.
It was just a matter of breaking up. Why drag it out for so long?
Charmine nned on forcing him to marry Annabel or pretend to jump off the building and fake her
death. This was for Anthony to think that she was dead, and she could leave the country then.
However, she did not have to tell him everything now. The problem she was considering was... 1
Suddenly, Anthony hardened his pinch around her waist. She felt a sharp paining from her waist.
He red at her. "Charmine, stop overthinking it. Once Annabel leaves the country to take care of the
baby, we can get married peacefully."
Charmine was stumped.
Get married?
He was having a baby with another woman, and he still wanted to marry her?
Although it was a test-tube baby, Annabel was a surrogate mother. While they would not have any interaction, it
still felt strange...
Anthony did not hear a reply from her. His brows suddenly furrowed.
He grabbed her shoulder and turned her to face him. He asked in a low voice, "What? You''re judging me for having
a baby with another woman?"
Charmine''s eyes darkened. Judging him?
She had given birth herself, so it was only natural she would not look down on him. She had no rights to do so. 1
It was just that... This situation seemed to be different...
Even though she knew she should not mind, it felt too strange when he suggested that they should marry.
What kind of strangeness was she feeling?
