chapter 1409


    All that mattered was Anthony woulde home.


    However, it was six in the evening, and he was still not home.


    Charmine started to feel uneasy again....


    In the past, even if Anthony was very busy, he would not go on two days without contacting her.


    Lips twisting into a frown, she leaned back on the sofa and deliberated on it before heading upstairs.


    She turned on herputer, and her slim fingers fluttered across the keyboard before, not long after,


    the screen changed and turned ck.


    Following that, strings of codes in red appeared.


    Charmine keyed in Anthony''s phone number to locate his location. She then found out that he was still


    in Burlington.


    She looked at the location in shock.


    Did he not go overseas? Why was he in Burlington?


    Furthermore, even if he had returned, why did he note home? Why did he not contact her?


    Charmine located his exact location and was shocked to find out that he was on the outskirts of the city,


    below a mountain.


    She squinted and stared at the red dot on the screen.


    The location was aboratory owned by Kansas!


    Why was he there?


    Charmine frowned suspiciously, thinking there was an error in her search or that she missed some


    parts.


    She then tried again, and still...


    The result was the same!


    He truly was at theboratory!


    Charmine pursed her lips and stared at the screen with disbelief.


    Anthony lied to her?


    What was he doing there? Why would he lie to her?


    There was a vague tinge of disappointment in her. She did not want to believe that the person she


    trusted the most had lied to her.


    Charmine''s eyes grew cold as she picked up her phone and car keys.


    She had to go and find out what he was up to!.


    She sped along the way until she arrived at the heel of the mountain.


    Charmine looked at the buildings hidden in the forest; they were almost out of sight. They looked even


    more mysterious in the dark.


    Looking away and parking her car, she got down and saw a familiar figure down the road.


    She blinked her bright eyes. She could tell right away that it was Anthony.


    He truly was here.


    He lied to her, after all!


    Charmine was overwhelmed with disappointment as she stared at him, frigidly calling out, "Anthony."


    Anthony heard her voice, frowning as he looked her way.

    Why was she here?


    He stabilized himself to cover up his difort before walking toward her. "Charmine? What are you


    doing here?" he began.


    Charmine’s expression was steely. "Why can’t Ie here? Are you afraid of me finding out that you


    lied to me?"


    Anthony stood before her, and he exined, "Darling, I didn’t lie to you.”


    Under the dim moonlight, he looked rather pale and tired. His voice was not asfortable as it usually


    sounded.


    Charmine was still angry that she did not notice the difference in him. She asked angrily, "Two days


    ago, you told me you''re going to Amerites. I’ve been trying to contact you, but nothing came through.


    When I searched you up earlier, I found out that you''ve always been in Burlington! When did youe


    back? Why didn’t you go home after you came back? Why didn''t you contact me?"


    Did he not know how worried she was?


    Anthony felt listless, but his voice merely sounded mature and calm," Please don''t get angry. In the


    past two days, my phone has been broken. It turned off from time to time, but I arrived an hour or so


    ago. I came here to sort out some matters. If you don’t believe me, you may check my travel log."


    He exined calmly and handed his flight tickets to show her. His phone screen would also sh from


    time to time as he did.


    It was apparent that his phone was broken. 1


    Charmine frowned. Was that it?


    Had she misunderstood him?
