chapter 1550
This was the first time Chris had seen his Mommy and Daddy arguing so seriously. It took him a while
before he reacted.
Noticing the wound on Charmine''s knees had gotten worse, he did not have time to ask her about it
before he contacted Maurice.
Afraid that Charmine might turn him down, he texted Maurice secretly.
[Grandpa, Mommy had a bad, bad fall. Hurry ande over!)
Within ten minutes, Maurice rushed into Charmine''s vi with a doctor.
Meanwhile, Anthony was still in his car outside the vi. He narrowed his eyes in disbelief when he saw
Maurice rushing in with a doctor.
She chased him out so cold-heartedly for Maurice toe?
Maurice entered through the door with a doctor, and it baffled Charmine.
How did he find out?
Chris exined, "Mommy, I asked Grandpa toe over because I’m worried about you..."
Charmine realized and thought of how irate she behaved. She eased herself and ruffled his hair. "Don''t
be worried."
Maurice saw her wound and was concerned. He was about to ask the doctor to do what he had to do
when she stopped and declined him. "Don''t bother, Mo. I can sort it out myself."
She did not want to owe him anything anymore.
Maurice frowned for the first time as he said, "I hired the doctor. Your injury is serious, and you need to
be hospitalized. Since the doctor hase, let him have a look. Just pay himter."
Charmine felt it again, that sharp pain on her ankles, but still coldly declined, "Really, I can sort it out
myself."

She was like a hedgehog with all its spikes standing upright, turning away everyone who cared about
her.
Maurice was exasperated and hurt at Charmine''s stubbornness.
After a moment of thought, he said gently, "Gem, are you really letting that past rtionship suffocate
you? If you don''t fix your injury now, a scar will remain. Do you want one?"
Charmine''s heart dropped.
Suffocating herself for that past rtionship? How could that be?
She would not suffocate herself for Anthony.
Since a permanent scar was made in her heart, she did not need another one on her body.
Finally, she nodded. "Fine, then."
Maurice then let out a sigh of relief and quickly asked the doctor toe forward.
Chris was just as relieved. Thinking of how worried Anthony might have been, he texted him out of
''kindness''.
[Daddy, don''t be worried. Grandpa hase over to fix Mommy''s injury. It''s fine now.]
Anthony read the text with an ironic look.
As expected, Charmine only needed Maurice.
It felt as though his heart was stabbed, and it was otherworldly painful.
He looked away and drove off, stepping on the gas pedal fiercely as he zipped along the road.
When he arrived home, Susan came and stopped him. "Just in time, Anthony. Your wedding suit is
ready. Go with Waverly to have a fitting. Let them know what to fix."
Anthony looked at her coldly.
He wanted to turn her down instinctively but before he spoke, he thought of Maurice with Charmine and
pursed his lips.
"Fine.”
Waverly looked at him and had an unnoticeable pride in her eyes.
Hehe! Her n was working!
She thus walked up to Anthony demurely. "Let''s go."
With that said, she reached out and tried to hold him, but Anthony had walked out with a cold face.
Her hand hung mid-air.
Susan saw it all and reassured her, "Don''t take it personally. Anthony''s always been this way; it takes
some time.”
Waverly put on an understanding look. "It’s okay, Mother. I know.” "Go on."
Waverly walked out and sat in the backseat. As she gazed at the man in the driver''s seat, she thought
of how they shared the bedst night. She was pleased.
Furthermore, she was about to get married to him. She would not let anything stand in her way!
Her lips twisted into a vague smirk. With a thought in mind, she picked up her phone to text Britney.
[I''m going to try on wedding gowns and suits with Anthony. Have it shoot up until we''re trending online.]
The two of them arrived at the DA workshop not long after. Anthony''s expression was still distant and
cold as he tried the suit robotically.
