chapter 1527


    Anthony was about to get married...and Charmine was not the bride.


    How ironic.


    Charmine smiled disdainfully as she watched couples passing by.


    Maurice made his bed and saw Chris alone in the living room. He asked, " Kid, are you hungry? What


    would you like to eat?"


    Chris, still ying Charmine''s game, did not even look up. “Anything."


    Maurice came to the bedroom and knocked on the door. "Gem, what would you like to eat for lunch? I''ll


    ask the staff to prepare them for us."


    No sound came from inside the room, and Maurice could not help but frown.


    Thinking of her state after meeting Anthonyst night, he feared she might still be upset. His heart


    tightened as he then pushed the door open...only to be greeted with an empty room.


    There was no trace of her.


    Panicking, Maurice asked Chris, "Where''s your Mommy?”


    Chris finally looked up and said, "Mommy has gone out."


    With that said, he saw Maurice running out of the room.


    Chris frowned. Why was he in a hurry?


    Was he afraid Charmine might do something foolish?


    Charmine was not that type of person...


    Uneasy, Chris wanted to go out and have a look, but he then looked back at the game, and his little


    face sank.


    This was his Mommy''s ount. She asked him to not lose the game.


    To him, his Mommy was the best, and he must not make her lose!


    Whatever. Since the old man was around, his Mommy would be fine.


    Somehow, he had trusted Maurice more...


    Chris focused on the game until he had won the final round. He then rushed out to look after her.


    Maurice looked for Charmine in the front garden urgently, but after walking around, all he saw were


    couples but no sight of Charmine.


    He grew anxious.


    How did she disappear out of the blue? Was she not thinking straight?


    Maurice walked to the backyard and made up his mind that if he still could not find her, he would call


    the police.


    However, when he walked past the romantic flower arc, he looked up and saw a distant figure at the


    pavilion.


    When Maurice saw Charmine seated there, safe and sound, he had a strange feeling in him.


    He took a deep breath and felt relieved. He walked over slowly.


    "Gem, why did you go out without telling me?" 1


    Charmine snapped out of her train of thoughts. When she saw the man in front of her, she was


    surprised to see Maurice covered in sweat.


    She narrowed her eyes and said, "I came out for a breather."


    Maurice sat in front of her, seeing the glint of sorrow in her gaze despite looking arrogant and


    standoffish.

    In the past, her eyes were always willful and confident. Ever since what happenedst night, she fell


    into such a state.


    Maurice did not know what was happening between her and Anthony. All he knew was that she had to


    be heartbroken of sorts.


    Maurice pursed his lips and said, "Gem, I heard the view is quite nice there.


    Would you like to go there for a look?" "Okay."


    Charmine exuded an air of arrogance as she made her way proudly.


    Maurice followed behind her gently.


    They looked like an ice-cold queen and her gentle soldier.


    The two of them unknowingly walked past a haunted house, the door seemingly giving off a dreadful


    vibe as blood was smeared on it.


    Maurice thought of his n. He had a look in his eyes as he fixated his gaze on Charmine.
