chapter 1499


    Charmine red at the reporter and haughtily said, "Spread the word that whoever posts photos of


    Maurice and I in the future will be cut off from the industry. I''ll make sure thepany he works for can


    no longer survive in Burlington."


    Her clear voice was threatening. The reporter was so scared that he nodded. "Okay, okay!"


    Charmine red at him coldly. "When you take any photos in the future, just send them straight to


    Anthony''s email. Don’t post them online."


    This puzzled the reporter, but knowing her rtionship with Anthony, he seemed to have understood.


    He said nothing else and nodded instead. Okay, Boss Jordan! I''ll pass this on to the other reporters."


    Charmine then went back to her table and continued eating the barbeque as if nothing had happened.


    Maurice, on the other hand, gazed at her kindly as he continued to help her grill food. He was satisfied


    just by looking at her enjoying herself.


    Both of them went back to the hotel after supper, and Charmine noticed that the reporter was lingering


    around. After showering, she went downstairs to run through the lines with Maurice.


    When she was inside the lift, she took out her phone to write a text.


    [You carry on with your wedding while I carry on with my rtionship. We both should do our own


    things now. I won''t let Momo see gossip about me again, but since you''re my ex, you need to know


    how nice he treats me and how happy I am right now.] 1


    Anthony was at thepany, buried in work to stop himself from overthinking. He had to get so busy


    that he had no time to think, that had no time to feel the pain.


    He went home tiredly at 11 p.m. It was when he finished his shower that the phone by the side lit up.


    Anthony’s long legs carried himself to the phone. He unlocked it elegantly and noticed an email.


    Anthony clicked it open, and after seeing the photos attached to the email, his entire being reeked with


    fury.


    He squinted as he stared at the photos.


    The photos showed Charmine and Maurice having a barbecue. Maurice looked at her caringly and


    peeled prawns for her, picked out the bones, and grilled for her.


    Charmine, on the other hand, happily enjoyed what he did for her.


    She looked very happy.


    Anthony clenched his phone tightly, and even his breathing grew sobored that he started panting.


    He knew he should not read on, but he could not help scrolling down.


    This feeling was as if he knew it was going to stink but he still chose to rip his wound open to ssh a


    handful of salt on... 2


    The photos below were of the two of them going back to the hotel. She even went looking for him


    downstairs after showering.


    They looked like a couple so much in love that they were unwilling to part.


    Anthony panted heavily, and his eyes were very dark.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    Even though he wanted her to let go of him, even though he wanted her to be with another man, it still


    hurt him so badly that it felt like he could die whenever he saw her with another man.


    He was in so much pain.


    Meanwhile...


    There was a beep, and he received a text.


    When he saw [Charmine], his ice-cold heart dropped as he became... somewhat excited.


    She had not been in touch with him for a while. Was she sending this text to exin the photos to him?


    Anthony clicked the text quickly, but upon reading what was texted, his just- softened heart was filled


    with anger.


    [We do our own things.]


    Heh.


    He sarcastically thanked her for rubbing it in his face how happy she was. Mentally, of course.


    Anthony’s grip on his phone was so vice-like that his veins surfaced to his skin. Unable to reign in his


    anger, he smashed his phone onto the floor. 2


    Images of Charmine smiling at Maurice floated in his head. It felt like every cell in him was made of


    sharp knives that stabbed at him.


    Even breathing hurt him.


    Anthony looked as if he had lost his soul. He staggered to the front and sat on the floor, opened a


    bottle, and started downing its contents.


    He woke up in a blur the next day, and his entire body ached.


    He withstood the pain, however, as he forced himself to walk to Chris'' room. "I need to go away for


    work in the next few days," he spoke once he got there. "Nobody will take care of you, so go find your


    Mommy."
