chapter 743


    "Anthony, I adore you and you alone. If you keep using me of wanting to date a rapist, expect me to punish you for that."


    Anthony''s face straightened the moment he heard that. "What did you say?" he spoke, face still stoic.


    "I said, if you keep using me of wanting to date a rapist, expect me to punish you for that!" warned Charmine. "Kneel on a rough surface


    or shells; you can have your pick."


    "No, the endearing line,” dismissed Anthony.


    Endearing line...?

    Charmine frowned. She recalled, "I adore you and you alone-’’ 1


    She stopped then and there, realizing what she had just said as her cheeks burned red.


    She tantly stated she adored Anthony...


    Never before had she admitted her feelings after knowing him for so long.


    It was first attributed to the trauma Julian left her with, feeling that women who took the initiatives in a


    rtionship would not end up well. She would rather be the passive one back then.


    Secondly, it was due to what happened five years ago, as well as herplex rtionship with


    Anthony.


    Although they signed the marriage certificate, she was still unsure of whether they couldst forever.


    If she admitted her feelings for him too early, she would be the one embarrassed at the end. 1


    She kept herself from confessing her true feelings to him. s, that went down the drain...


    Anthony''s usually aloof, cold eyes were seemingly ignited with a spark of me.


    They had been together for so long; it was always him taking the initiative. Even though they had been


    married, Charmine still had not admitted her feelings for him.


    For the first time in forever, she admitted that she adored him. 1


    Initially overwhelmed with anger, all negative emotions Anthony had vanished at that instance.


    cing his arm around her waist, he pulled her into his arms as he gazed into her eyes.


    "Coincidentally, I feel the same for you.’’


    With that said, he abruptly lowered his head to kiss him arrogantly, intensely, and deeply.


    His hand was on her back while he kissed her and hugged her...


    Feeling Anthony''s cold,rge arm around her waist, Charmine became more aware of her


    surroundings...


    This was the washroom-anyone mighte in any time!


    she and Anthony had disappeared for so long and at the same time. It might raise suspicions.


    Charmine hastily pushed him away and reminded him, "Time to go back."


    Frowning as he was stopped, Anthony directed, "Charmine, it''s time for US to officiate our rtionship."


    While Charmine seemed aloof and uncaring on the outside, the fact she came to AL to check on him showed how much she cared for him.


    Moreover, seeing as she confessed her true feelings and they both felt the same way, there was no need to hide it from anyone anymore. 1


    However, Charmine rejected, "Absolutely not. How rare it is for me to live in peace! Now isn''t the time to go public yet.”


    "You''d rather feel uneasy to live in peace?" retorted Anthony.


    Charmine was speechless.


    She was indeed feeling uneasy, but it was not severe, no? 1


    "Furthermore, I came here not only to check on you. My main intention was to check on Waverly; I don''t trust her. Go back and spend time


    with her, I want to see when she’ll show her true colors."


    Anthony frowned. "She doesn’t seem to have any intention. She even healed Annabel."


    ''The problem gets even worse if we both can''t put a finger on it!" countered Charmine. ''The thorn on the side is always the worst. Just go


    back, trust me on this."


    "I trust mydy." Anthony looked at her, smiling at her gently. "Call me your husband?"
