chapter 1417


    Anthony seemed as if he hadpletely forgotten about it as he drove home.


    Charmine rushed to HN Restaurant at 6 p.m. to chat with the four men. They happily reminisced the


    good times they had back then.


    A waiter came to their table at the instructed time-at 9 p.m.-to take their orders. Uncle Zul frowned and


    said, "Charmine, didn’t you say Anthony will be here at nine?"


    Charmine was confused. Why did he not arrive yet?


    He promised her before leaving that even if he could note home beforehand, he would arrive at


    the restaurant at this hour...but it was already past nine.


    Why was he not here yet?


    "Does he not take us seriously at all?" grumbled Uncle Max.


    "No," Charmine exined, "maybe he''s caught up in traffic." "Charmine, call him and ask him where he


    is at," said Uncle Pop.


    Charmine thus took out her phone and called Anthony, and all four pairs of eyes were on her the entire


    time.


    She believed Anthony. He said he woulde, and he would! Perhaps something was keeping him.


    However...


    His phone had been switched off.


    The four Uncles were waiting for her to make the phone call quietly. When they heard that the line was


    busy, all of them heard it and Charmine could not defend him further.


    Their expressions faltered into one of displeasure.


    "He even turned off his phone?” pointed out Uncle Pop.


    Uncle Larry was not happy. ''The four of usbined are three hundred years old! We came early to


    wait for him, yet he''s now missing!"

    Uncle Zul thought of something, and he looked at Charmine with a concerned expression. "Charmine,


    tell us honestly: does he really love you?"


    Uncle Max scoffed. "How unreasonable! He’s about to marry you, and he doesn''t even care about you


    anymore!" i "A lot of men are like this. They put on their best behavior when courting you, and neglect


    you once they have you!" "It''s just like fishing; you stop baiting once you catch a fish." "That’s highly


    likely, Charmine. You must reconsider this marriage!"


    The four men added onto one another, and Charmine did not know what to say.


    She looked at her phone, disoriented.


    She even told Anthony twice, and he agreed. Why was he not here yet? His phone was even turned


    off, no less.


    She knew Anthony well, however, and he would not go missing for no reason.


    Charmine calmed down and exined, "Do calm down first. Anthony isn''t that kind of man. Maybe he’s


    busy now, so let''s wait a little longer."


    Seeing how certain Charmine was, the four men spoke in unison, "We''ll wait for half an hour more,


    then!"


    Charmine was speechless.


    How united!


    With that, everyone waited.


    Still, Anthony did not show up even half an hourter.


    "What’s the matter with him?" scoffed Uncle Larry. "Is heing or not?"


    Charmine pursed her lips. "Please have your dinner for now. I''ll go home and find out."


    Something felt off, and she had to ask Anthony for an exnation.


    The four Uncles were here to meet Anthony, and there was nothing else to talk about if he was not


    coming.


    Charmine seemed visibly upset; she must have felt worse than them.


    Uncle Zul nodde. "Okay, Charmine, go home. We''ll meet again next time." "You must ask for an


    exnation! If he lies to you, tell us! We won’t let him go easily!" "If he doesn''t treasure you, cancel the


    wedding! We''ll find you a better match!" "Okay."


    Charmine then stood up and left, bewildered and hurt as she made her way home. 1

    Why did he not show up again and again?
