chapter 1286


    Anthony narrowed his eyes, put out the cigarette’s me, and said," Admiring the view."


    Charmine sat down beside him and held onto his arm. "I''ve mastered the skill. I’ll be able to leave


    tomorrow." "Okay."

    Charmine heard his one-worded reply and instinctively turned to look at him.


    "What''s wrong, Anthony?"


    Why did he seem so burdened?


    "It’s nothing." Anthony reached out to hold her as his solemn gaze eyed the far-away mountain.


    "Time to leave. I''ll miss the peace in this ce."


    Charmine felt the same. She did not think too much of his behavior as she leaned on his shoulder and


    admired the view with him.


    "We''lle back next time when we have time.” "Okay." Anthony gazed at her meaningfully as he held


    her hand and never let it go.


    The two of them sat there for a very long while before they returned to the bamboo forest.


    Everyone started packing after dinner, while Frank walked into Faye''s bedroom with a heavy heart.


    Sheid in bed with a bandaged hand and an ankle that had not recovered.


    She bawled out her eyes as she wanted to see Anthony in her room before sleeping. When she saw


    Franking in, her tears ceased.


    "Brother, why did youe?"


    With a frown, Frank sat by the side. He sighed and said, "Faye, stop being so stubborn. Don''t try to get


    things that don''t belong to you."


    Faye understood what he meant and retorted, "Brother, what year is it now? Everyone has the right to


    chase after love. One can file for a divorce after marriage-" "Shut up!” Frank stopped her. ''Your


    mentality is crooked. Even if you like Anthony that badly, you must know that he''s Charmine’s


    husband." "So what?"


    Frank frowned and asserted, "If you continue behaving like that, I’ll have to ask a doctor to treat you."


    "Brother..."


    Did that mean she would never leave with him, that she would not be able to see him again?


    "I''m sorry," muttered Faye.


    "Faye, you need to fix your morals," he sternly asserted. "Don''t ask for too much."


    Faye said obediently, "I know."


    He knew she was just brushing him off, and he sighed.


    Luckily, Anthony loved Charmine genuinely, or things would have taken a turn for the worst.


    Frank said helplessly, "If you’re half as good as Charmine, there’ll be people who like you and treat you


    genuinely. You can''t get your way by making a scene to ask for their attention!" i


    Faye scoffed.


    How was Charmine good? She flirted around shamelessly!


    How was Charmine better than her?


    Outwardly, however, it appeared as if she epted the criticism. "Don’t worry, Brother. I''ll listen to you


    and stop causing a scene. I''ll treat Charmine and Anthony nicely." "If I find out you’re not doing as you


    said, you''ll be sent back!" warned Frank.


    "Okay."


    The next morning, the group went down the hill.


    Faye looked at Anthony by her side, and she limped while she tried to carry Frank''s heavy suitcase.


    She pretended to struggle in front of Anthony as though she was a good sister.


    Anthony did not even nce at her as his gaze solely focused on Charmine. He even took the suitcase


    from her.


    Faye jolted, rooted on the spot as she looked at Anthony’s back.


    Charmine walked past her and scoffed coldly, reaching out her skinny arms and took the suitcase from


    Faye. She lifted it up with one hand and walked forward.


    She was bold and unruly.


    Faye gritted her teeth and red at Charmine''s back before she caught up to them as she limped.


    When they arrived at the bottom of the mountain, Anthony escorted Charmine to the car and ced his


    hand on the top of the car, preventing her from knocking her head.


    Charmine halted and turned to look at him.


    He behaved rather weirdly all of a sudden. He even held her hand tightly as they descended as if she


    would leave.
