chapter 657


    Charmine looked into the ward through the window and saw how Anthony handed Annabel the bowl of


    soup. Noticing there were no tissues around Annabel, Anthony took some tissues for her.


    It was as though a responsible husband was taking care of his pregnant wife.


    Charmine, who stood outside the window, looked like an extra.


    Noticing Charmine''s distant gaze, Waverlyforted, "Mr. Bailey really loves you; you don’t have to be


    too concerned. He''s just a special friend of Annabel''s, that''s all." 2


    Waverly''s out-of-the-bluement brought her out of her thoughts. She looked at Waverly who was


    beside her, and that strong sense of familiarity was awakened again, along with an obvious feeling of


    despise.


    It felt as if standing next to Waverly disconcerted her every cell.


    "Have we met before, Ms. D''Cruz?" blurted Charmine.


    Right after she asked, Waverly''s eyes showed a glint of panic.


    However, it merelysted for 0.01 second, so quick that it was almost unnoticeable. The panic quickly


    vanished. 1


    She met Charmine''s eyes gracefully. "Really? Why did Ms. Jordan ask? I think we''ve never met


    before."


    Never met before?


    Where did this sense of familiaritye from?


    Charmine looked into her, trying to find the answer from her.


    Waverly merely looked at her unperturbed as she said gracefully, "I''ve been taken care of by our family


    nanny since birth, home-schooled since young by top tutors. Furthermore, I''m the only daughter of the


    D’Cruz family.


    They’d do anything for me and never let me make any public appearance. This is my first time visiting


    Burlington, apanying my brother to see the outside world."


    Waverly''s voice was clean and pure, as if she was an untainted white snowke without a trace of


    impurity nor dishonesty.


    Furthermore, she sounded rather proud when she mentioned her family.


    That proudness was very familiar...


    Charmine recalled how Tiffany used to show off to her about how well their parents treated her.


    Do all well-pampered daughters like to show off their love?


    Charmine’s gaze felt all too meticulous on Waverly as if she wanted to see through her.


    Unsettled by her gaze, Waverly said elegantly, "My job is finished for today. I''lle back tomorrow."


    With that, she turned to leave, and Britney followed behind her.


    Charmine watched as Waverly left, her gaze darkening as she did.


    Even Kay and his men could not find out about Waverly. She seemed too mysterious...


    Anthony walked out at that moment, and he habitually wrapped his arm around her waist. "Let''s go and


    fetch Momo."


    Charmine instinctively stiffened. 1


    They were in a public setting, and as the matters between them were still unresolved, and Annabel still


    inside the ward... If anyone saw them...


    She got out of his arm. "Let’s go."


    Anthony followed behind her, practically feeling Charmine intentionally distancing herself from him. He


    frowned. 2


    After getting in the lift, Charmine stood closest to the wall of the list, leaving a lot of space between


    them.


    His eyes darkened but said nothing. He walked into the lift and stood beside her as if nothing


    happened.


    When they arrived at the underground car park, Luke drove while Anthony and Charmine sat at the


    rear passenger seats.

    Strangely enough, there was a screen that separated the front seats from the rear ones; the people at


    the front could not see what was happening behind.


    Just when Charmine sensed that this car was strange, Anthony''s big hand suddenly hooked around


    her waist. He exerted force and pulled her over, making her lean onto him.
