chapter 1404


    Luckily, there were a few more days until their wedding. Once Anthony sorted out hispany matters,


    they would have their wedding.


    She could only say, "Okay. Come home soon. I''ll be nning for our wedding."


    Anthony stopped short and, masking the dread in his eyes, walked toward her to hug her. "Alright. Stay


    home, and wait for me." "Okay."


    Anthony lowered his head and his eyes lingered on her for a while. After that, hended a sacred peck


    on her forehead, "I''ll go now." "Okay." Charmine nodded.


    Anthony slowly released her from his embrace, and a momentter, he left without turning back.


    He dared not to look back, afraid that once he did, he would be pulled in by her eyes and would not be


    able to leave.


    Charmine remained transfixed, looking at his back until he closed the door. Only then did she look


    away.


    She frowned warily. Why did he look so despondent? Why did he look at her like he did not want to go


    and let go?


    Was he not off to work and woulde home in two days? Why did he look as if he was about to die?


    Was she overthinking things?


    Charmine took a deep breath. When she thought of Chris having to eat breakfast after he woke up, she


    dropped everything else and headed downstairs.


    Just as she entered the kitchen, however, she could smell the fragrance of porridge.


    She walked over to see well-made porridge in the pot.


    It was carefully prepared: the texture was soft, and it smelt good. It was unlike some hastily prepared


    porridge that did not smell good.


    Charmine felt a surge of warmth in her heart.


    Had Anthony woken up early to prepare this?


    She could not help texting Anthony, [Thank you for preparing breakfast.


    Stay safe, ande home soon.]


    Anthony just got into the car when Charmine’s text chimed his phone. He felt his heart clenching.


    How would he be willing to leave her?


    He wanted to go back and hug her, but he had to sort out his promise first and foremost.


    He looked at her text nostalgically for a few minutes. He did not reply.


    Anthony cleared his burning throat and made the phone call. "Mr. Ross, I''ming over now."

    A polite voice of a man was heard from the phone, "Yes, President Bailey. I''m waiting for you at the


    office."


    Anthony arrived at an office and went into Mike Ross'' office, thetter standing upto wee him,


    "Good morning, President Bailey."


    Anthony nodded and asked, "Is everything settled as I''ve requested?" "Yes, Sir." Mike exined, "Just


    like you said, if anything happens to you, all of your assets, properties, stocks, as well aspany


    shares will go to Ms. Charmine Jordan."


    Mike spoke as he handed over the documents, "Please have a look.”


    Anthony epted the document and read the contract regarding his assets. He quickly skimmed


    through and went to thest line with the words printed, [If anything happens to the man as stated


    above, all of his assets will go to Ms. Charmine Jordan unconditionally.]


    When he read that, he sighed in relief and signed the document.


    Mike was touched at the sight-Anthony was such a loving man.


    He was willing to transfer all of his assets to Charmine?


    The once cold-hearted, stubborn Boss Bailey would give out his assets like that?


    After he signed the paper, he handed it back to Mike.


    "And that''s that, Boss Bailey. The contract is effective the moment you sign it,” dered Mike.


    "Okay."


    Anthony left and drove toward theboratory.
