chapter 758
Max stared at Anthony and then at Waverly. "If you two are actually together, is there a need to quell the headlines in Burlington? To be so
secretive?"
Waverly was speechless.
What was wrong with her brother?
Max continued, "As our parents have said, they''re not against you two from being in love, but they''re against a rtionship that doesn’t end
up with marriage. If you two are unsure of getting married, it''s better to break up sooner. Don’t ruin the reputation of both families!"
His tone was cold and harsh. He seemed displeased, much like a stern senior member of the family.
Anthony sat on the sofa, his face apathetic and distant as he emitted an air of authority.
He did not speak, thus Waverly had to say, "We’re still in the early stage of getting to know one another. We can''t just get married after
knowing each other for a few days, no? Please give US more time."
''The seniors insisted. If you two don''t officiate your rtionship, or if you don''t get engaged within a month, they want me to bring you back to
Kansas," clipped Max.
He was basically forcing Anthony and Waverly to officiate their rtionship. They only had the
maximum of a month to do so. 1
If Anthony did not make themitment, he would bring Waverly home.
By then, all hope would be lost for Annabel’s illness...
Max eyed Anthony, wanting to see how Anthony would choose.
Anthony, who had not spoken, suddenly looked up and eyed Max sharply." Feelings can’t be forced
onto someone. In the eyes of Mr. D''Cruz, is love merely a mission? Or is it just that..."

His gaze at Max became even sharper and colder. ''The D''Cruz can''t wait
to be associated with the Bailey family?"
Max''s face jolted instantly. How could Anthony say such a thing?!
Max was about tosh out, but Waverly hastily exined, "What Anthony meant was that feelings are
hard to discern; it''s not to be negotiated or traded. Brother, why don''t you go back for now? Phone up
our parents and tell them I know what to do. If our feelings are well in a month, there''s no harm getting
engaged."
Afraid of falling out with the D''Cruz family, Susan quickly piped up, "My Anthony speaks rather bluntly;
there''s no big deal...! Let them talk it out and weigh everything themselves. It''ll be alright when they get
engaged in a month. As for the rest, I''ll discuss with you on behalf of the seniors in the Bailey family."
With that, she stood up and invited Max to leave with her.
Max was furious, but thinking of the future n, he had to hold it in.
"Alright, you talk it out, or you''reing back to Kansas with me! Furthermore, you two better admit it
online so that others stop specting. The phone at home is almost exploding from all the calls we’re
getting!"
He red at Anthony and Waverly before marching away.
With that, Anthony and Waverly were left in the resting lounge.
Waverly looked at Anthony. "Apologies, I didn''t expect things to turn out this way."
"Not your fault." Anthony''s tone was cold like usual. There was no hint of warmth.
He looked at Waverly and asked, "Will Annabel be cured within a month?"
"Well..."
Waverly thought about the recent situation and confessed, "Now that you consistently take care of her in the hospital, she can almost sleep
for approximately five hours per day. If things can continue to develop from here and we continue the treatment for a month, sleeping for
eight hours shouldn''t be a problem. In a month''s time, the baby in her should be in a much more favorable condition. There shouldn''t be too
much of a problem."
Anthony''s eyes darkened. After a moment, he parted his lips, "Alright, I''ll make a statement to calm the D''Cruz family within a month. I hope
Ms. D''Cruz can do your best."
With that said, he stood up and left.
Waverly frowned. What he meant was that...
On the same day, Anthony suddenly suddenly tweeted...
