chapter 1535


    With that said, Chris turned to Maurice and said, "Grandpa, I love you so much!"


    Maurice’s expression softened as he smiled lovingly. "d you like it."


    He continued grilling and noticed Charmine oddly silent. "Gem, why are you not eating? Do you not like


    them?" he asked. "What would you like to eat? I''ll grill them for you."


    Charmine pursed her lips. She was hungry, but after seeing Anthony, she felt confused and lost her


    appetite.


    She did not want Maurice''s effort to go to waste, though.


    She simply picked up an ear of corn and said, "Nothing. I''ll have this. No need to fuss around too much,


    Mo-help yourself and eat." "Okay." Maurice simply picked up some.


    Charmine had a few bites and could not help looking in Anthony''s direction. Finally unable to take it,


    she looked at Chris with her bright eyes. " Dear, why don''t you go and ask if your Daddy is hungry."


    "What?" Startled, Chris looked around and then back at her. "Mommy, are you hallucinating? Daddy


    isn''t here."


    Maurice looked at her suspiciously.


    However, Charmine merely looked in one direction and said, "Your Daddy is right there." "Haha..."


    Chrisughed heartlessly.


    His Daddy actually came secretly?


    That was hrious.


    It seemed that what he said had struck a nerve in him! Haha!


    Chris put down the things in hand and said, "Mommy, I will aplish my mission." 1 "Go on."


    Chris walked toward Anthony in his cool gait.


    Charmine continued to eat and acted as if she did not care when, in truth, she was very excited about


    what Anthony would say should he return with Chris.


    Maurice looked at her and finally understood why she zoned out in the past few minutes. She was


    perplexed.


    Only Mr. Bailey could affect her mood so much.


    He did not understand why when Charmine was admitted to the hospital, Mr. Bailey was so worried


    with his eyes full of love. Charmine could even tell that he still cared about her.


    Why did the two lovers harm one another?


    Anthony thought Charmine did not notice him, thus he continued staring in their direction.


    Suddenly, he saw Chris walking toward him with a grin.


    Had she found out after all?


    He had a hint of panic in him, his head turning rapidly as he tried to make an exnation on why he


    was suddenly there.


    A momentter, he had a calm face. He darkened his eyes and walked out of his tent.


    "Daddy!" Chris walked over and looked at him wide-eyed. "It is really you!"


    Anthony looked at him coldly. "It''s me." "Haha!" Chris said, "Mommy asked me to invite you over to


    have some barbeque." "I''m busy." Anthony seemed distant. "I have other things to attend to." 1 "Oh."


    Chris’ face dropped. "I''ll go back, then."


    Anthony looked at him speechlessly.


    "Hold on."

    Chris looked back. "What is it?" "Fine, I''ll go over to say hi."


    If he chose to cave in, he would seem suspicious.


    Charmine was clever, and she would have guessed something.


    Maurice, meanwhile, was grilling fish, picking out the bones before handing it over. "They''re boneless,


    Gem." "Okay," Charmine did not turn him down.


    When she heard footsteps, she looked over to see Anthony walking over with Chris. Anthony was cold


    as a block of thousand-year frozen ice. As he got to their tent, the surrounding atmosphere dropped a


    few degrees lower.
