chapter 736
Caught off-guard as she fell into Anthony''s arms, Charmine wanted to move before deciding against it and settling in his embrace.
His chest was so firm and wide, and his body scent calmed her senses. Her uneasiness was dispelled atst.
Anthony ced his chin on her head as he held her in silence hugging her silently. He gradually lowered his head andnded kisses after
kisses from her forehead to her eyes, then her nose bridge, and eventually aimed for her lips.
Each kiss was deeply filled with meaning. When he was about to kiss her on the lips. Charmine instinctively moved back. 1
Strange as it was, Charmine would resist instinctively whenever they got intimate.
Perhaps she was still traumatized by what happened five years ago...
Anthony could feel that she was still resistant against him, or perhaps it was due to what happened with Waverly.
He pulled her deeper into his chest andforted her with a low and deep voice, "Charmine, remember: I’m your man, your husband byw
too.
Everyone else is just a stepping stone throughout our married journey."
Charmine squinted at that. Did he mean Waverly and Annabel? 1
These two women were extremely amazing. Annabel gave birth to his child while Waverly was a
perfect match for him, yet he treated them as'' stepping stones''?
Charmine''s thoughts overwhelmed her before Anthony came, yet it took just an embrace and a few
words for him to calm her down.
She somehow felt as if she was attention-seeking, always needing him tofort her...
Anthony kissed her patiently and calmed her with his gentleness.
She no longer resisted and gradually rxed.
That night, sheid in Anthony''s arm, enjoying his warmth as she fell asleep peacefully.
When she woke up on the next day, Anthony was no longer there, but there was a paper slip by the
bed.
[Mydy, remember to have breakfast.]
His words were beautifully written, and a loving sight it was.
The two words-''mydy’-made her feel the warmth.
All the negative emotions from the previous night and the things that Amelia said had all vanished. 1
After she got out from the bed, she heated up the prepared sandwich while the milk was kept warm
with a device.
Everything was perfect; a rtionship without them both living together could still be loving.
Charmine failed to fight back the grin on her face as she felt invigorated once more. As she had her
breakfast, she phoned the staff in thepany and said, "Get ready, we''re having a meeting at eight
sharp."
If the Baileys looked down on her for being poor, if they look down on her for not being good enough for
him, then she should earn more money!
If she had a ruined past, she should work even harder to ovee that, to turn herself into someone
everyone shall look up to, so she could stand next to Anthony in public! 1
With such motivation, she came to the office earlier than usual.

Arriving at thepany''s shared space, she coincidentally saw Amelia.
Amelia was sipping on her coffee by the side, instructing a small assistant angrily, "Hurry up and copy them-we need them for the meeting
You’re so slow, you can bet I''ll fire you."
Shivering, the small assistant hastily got to work.
Charmine stopped walking. She red at Amelia coldly. "You''re just a lowly assistant. Who gave you the right to fire anyone?"
When Amelia saw Charmine, she panicked for a moment. "Charmine, you..."
Why was she in the building so early?
Charmine usually showed up past eight, and it was only seven-thirty.
Furthermore, after she cursed at Charmine, she realized that Charmine went home looking rather upset, seemingly down in the blues.
Amelia believed Charmine would still be haunted with such feelings, and it made her happy until...
"Pack your things now, get your pay from the finance department, and leave!" Charmine scoffed coldly. 1
Amelia jolted. "What? Charmine, are you crazy? I''m your cousin!"
