chapter 1032


    Upon reaching upstairs, Anthony saw Charmine zoning out with Chris in her hands and he walked


    toward them.


    "Momo, go draw in the art room.”


    Chris knew they both had things to talk about, thus he instantly gave them space.


    It was then Charmine realized Anthony had truly returned, though still in his torn-out clothes with his


    not-yet-cleaned wounds.


    She stood up, ready to find the medical box, but Anthony merely held onto her and pulled her toward


    him.


    Charmine fell onto hisp at the sudden loss of bnce and Anthony''s pull, and she could smell the


    smell of blood on him.


    She frowned at the sight of his bloodstained knuckles with tears on them, and she asked, "What did


    you do?"


    "Met up with Guy." Anthony did not intend to hide it.


    Anthony frowned. Why would he look for Guy?


    "Revenge," he added.


    Charmine was speechless.


    That was too much.


    "What? Felt bad for him?” His low voice sounded displeased.


    "Of course not," Charmine quickly exined, "I just feel...”


    Guy was innocent, but of course, she could not say that to Anthony outright, thus she shifted their topic


    of conversation. "I''m curious how it went. Did you get the antidote?"


    Anthony''s face stiffened before he muttered lowly, ''The antidote is in Guy''s body. We don''t have much


    of a choice other than letting you marry him."


    Charmine frowned.


    One sentence was all it took for her to understand what Anthony meant.


    She took Anthony''s hand into hers. "Don''t worry, it’s just a few minutes of pain every day, but we''ll still


    have seven hundred minutes. I don''t mind."


    "But I mind.” Anthony studied her form before he spoke, "Charmine, I don’t mind what you''ve done with


    Guy. Now, you may go and find him, I''ll let you leave.” His hands loosened their grip on Charmine''s


    waist as he pulled away. 1


    Charmine eyed him. "Anthony, are you being serious right now?"


    ''Yes," Anthony''s voice was low, though he no longer looked at her.


    His eyes had darkened, and one could not know what he was thinking.

    Regardless of whether he meant it or not, Charmine stared into him and said with a serious tone,


    "Anthony, I don’t want to hear this again. I didn’t let you go when you impregnated Annabel for the


    second time, but you''re letting me go because of a minor illness? Is this all the Boss Bailey can


    endure?"


    Anthony frowned. "Guy is a good man, you''ll be happy with him. This is your best chance to leave."


    Leave?


    Charmine merely smirked. "Has anyone told you that it''s easy to get a woman and hard to ask her to


    leave, hmm?"


    With that, she suddenly lowered her head and kissed Anthony on his lips.


    Anthony wanted to push her away, but Charmine dominated him in her kiss as she held him tightly,


    pressing him onto the sofa. She kissed him with fervor, with passion.


    It was only after a long while that she released Anthony, though she red at him heatedly.


    "Remember: I''ve decided to spend the rest of my life, living with you and the pain. Just treat it as a


    migraine. Don’t you dare overthink things." i


    Charmine then stood up to look for the medical box, all while Anthony gazed at her with a softened


    gaze.


    He never thought of letting her go; he was just testing her. He might have let her leave should she


    genuinely like Guy, but that seemed not to be the case...


    He sat up quietly as he allowed Charmine to clean his wounds.


    The scratches were caused by the machines in the Grangers’ undergroundbyrinth. She only had to


    put on medication and band-aids.


    Charmine looked at how vulgar Anthony looked, and she smiled. "Go and wash up, or I’d think you''re a


    beggar from the street."
