chapter 874
Anthony was punishing Charmine with an arrogant kiss.
"I warned you the other time that if you get close with another man, I won''t let you off easy. It seems that you really want that
punishment!"
With that said, he kissed her briskly like a whirlwind as he pulled at her camisole.
Charmine did not know where she got the strength from, but she pushed him and took charge instead.
She red at him from above. "Snap out of it, Anthony. I can give it to you, but not under such conditions! You misunderstood
me, and that means you don''t have enough trust in me!"
Angered, she stood up and was ready to leave.
She pulled a long bed robe and wrapped it around her body before going out of the door.
The moment she shut the door, arge hand suddenly came out, ready to hold the door open.
With a loud ''thump'', the door closed onto his four fingers.
Charmine clearly felt it. When she looked back, Anthony''s face had turned green.
His four knuckles were bruised.
Her chest tightened, and all of her anger vanished instantly. She asked," How is it? Does it hurt?"
"No."

Retrieving his hand, Anthony turned and walked back further into the room.
Charmine looked at his arrogant and lonely figure-she could not leave him alone. She turned back to
him and closed the door behind.
When Anthony heard her footsteps, his thin lips vaguely curled up. He sat down on the sofa.
Charmine took out two ice cubes from the mini fridge. She wrapped them with a bandage and sat down
beside him.
She reached out to hold Anthony''s hand, but Anthony refused. She insisted and put his hand on her
lap. She held on the iced bandage and mped it between his bruised knuckles.
The two did not speak.
Charmine was treating him with full concentration. She thought of what happened today and felt that
she was too impatient. She tried to exin patiently, "When I left home in the morning, I didn''t know
William was already in Burlington. I would''ve told you had I known. We had no intimate contact when I
got to theb, and the ss of water was poured by Uncle Pop, and William merely handed it to me.
We used to work in research before, and we''re really just colleagues. You knew the person sending
you the photos is ill-intended. If yoush out at me, isn''t this exactly what they wanted?"
With that said, she reiterated, "Anthony, it''s not easy for US to havee this far. We need to trust
each other. I hope you can understand that the thing I hate the most is when someone doesn’t trust
me."
Five years ago, everyone used her, nobody trusted her, rendering her unable to defend herself.
Five yearster, even as she returned, everyone trusted Tiffany. She had enough days when she was
doubted! 1
Anthony looked up at her. "Whether I’m angry at you has nothing to do with whether I trust you or not."
Charmine was confused.
She was dumbfounded.
Anthony looked at her and continued, "You''re mydy, but however much I trust you, other men aren''t allowed to look at you. I
don''t wish for you to have close contact with any other man, especially men who like you!"
His tone was possessive and arrogant.
It was not until then when Charmine suddenly realized that Anthony was a jealous man. Rtionship-wise, he was too
possessive...
Suddenly, Anthony pulled her to his chest and lowered his head to kiss her.
Unlike the arrogant kiss earlier, he was much gentler and more caring this time.
After kissing for a long while, he let go of her and looked at her sincerely.
"Charmine, remember: you''re the only one who can make me jealous. It has nothing to do with trust." 2
Charmine displeasure from earlier had vanishedpletely due to this kiss.
She leaned into his chest and exined sincerely, "I''m researching a selective amnesia drug. I want Julian, Alexander, and the
others to take it. Once it seeded, I can guarantee that I won’t have any more contact with him."
