chapter 818


    Inside the room...


    Anthony took his time in his shower, feeling better after removing the clothes he had worn that day.


    He went back to bed and, true to Anthony''s fashion, hugged Charmine. As he approached her, Charmine thought of what happened between


    themst night, and she blushingly pulled away, diverting, "You haven''t told me how you got back."


    "I only said that she''s on her period," Anthony replied.


    Charmine halted, and she almostughed out loud.

    She did not expect Anthony to use such an excuse! She wondered how triggered Waverly was.


    "You''re not afraid of them catching onto you?"


    ''The worst-case scenario would be to officiate our rtionship," said Anthony, sounding rxed.


    To him, this would be the best-case scenario.


    Charmine was speechless.


    He actually thought so? He was that impatient to let the world know?


    It did not matter, Anthony was back and she no longer needed to worry. Charmine then fell asleep in


    his arms.


    As she had spent half her day immersed in work and tucked out worried, she was quite tired as her


    breathing grew less heavy over time.


    Anthony hugged her as she slept soundly, his lips curling up gradually. Hugging her to sleep was the


    most satisfactory time spent.


    He longed for the day they could spend their time together in broad daylight. Toying with strands of


    Charmine''s hair, he savored every moment spent with her.


    Suddenly...


    "Argh!" a loud scream was heard, followed by frantic footsteps.


    The sound-asleep Charmine was instantly awoken.


    Exchanging nces with Anthony, they instantly got out of bed and walked out.


    They then saw Waverly rushing down from upstairs anxiously. Her usually elegant face was looking


    anxious and fearful, ’There''s a snake upstairs...


    Snake...!''''


    Snake?


    Why would there be a snake on that floor sote at night?


    Noticing Maria rushing toward them, Anthony instructed, "Go upstairs and have a look."


    "Yes, Sir!" Maria instantly went upstairs.


    It did not take long before she rushed down from upstairs.


    "Sir, there really is a snake! Maybe it climbed in from the giant jacaranda outside! I''ll bring someone over to sort it out right away!"


    There was a three-story-tall blue jacaranda in the backyard. Its branch was leaning on the window.


    Since the sun had been bright as ofte, snakes were prone to lurk around.


    Anthony did not question further.


    Maria quickly woke up a male staff to sort it out upstairs.


    Still terrified, Waverly looked at Anthony and Charmine with fear. ''To be honest with you, I don’t have many fears, but the only thing that


    terrifies me is a snake. Can I sleep with Ms. Jordan on the first floor tonight?" 1


    Anthony frowned. He only had this moment to hug Charmine to sleep, and if Waverly took that away...


    He wanted to reject, but Charmine merely said, "You helped US so much, so taking care of you is a must.”


    With that, Charmine looked at Anthony. "Husband, you’ll sleep alone tonight while Ms. D.Cruz and I will sleep in the same room. Just for one


    night, you can do it."
