chapter 1579


    Charmine halted and ruffled his head. "That won''t happen."


    Although she preferred the slower living pace here, Anthony would never permit his son to stay in this


    ce forever.


    Chris also knew this was unlikely, and just the thought of leaving this ce sooner orter filled him


    with dread throughout the night.


    On the next day, after breakfast, Charmine brought him to look for Chloe.


    When they left the house, they were once again stunned by the sight.


    The houses at the heel of the mountain had smoke that intermingled with the mist. The azure sky had


    clouds that looked like cotton candy drifting with the winds.


    The stream up ahead was clear, and the sound of water flowing was akin to a beautiful tune from an


    instrument.


    Everything in front of them looked as if painted. The beauty was beyond words.


    This ce was astoundingly beautiful.


    It settled Charmine''s nerves and made her not want to think of anything. All she wanted was to enjoy


    her time in this ce.


    Chloe, sporting a dress with flower patterns and two cute braids, was ying with the dog in the front


    yard.


    Hearing footsteps, she walked out with her dog.


    It made an endearing sight for Charmine, and she could not help liking her.


    If only she had a daughter. How great would that have been?


    Unfortunately...


    "Doggy!" Chris saw the adorable dog and went over to pet it. "You''re a good doggy. Chloe and I will


    take you out to y today."


    It was as if the dog understood her as it licked his small hand adorably.


    "Let’s go, Chloe," said the giddy Chris to Chloe.


    Chloe parted with her grandmother and left with them.


    Chris and Cloe walked in front of Charmine.


    Chris had a cool facade on him, acting like Chloe''s big brother, while Chloe was very adorable and


    confident.


    The two children were so happy.


    They walked along and arrived at a stream at the heel of a mountain.


    The stream was so clear that one could see fishes and lobsters swimming in it.


    "Mommy!" The sight shocked and excited Chris. "Let''s get down to catch the lobsters!" "Okay!"


    Charmine did not refuse Chris, seeing how over the moon he was.


    Since they were now away from the city, it would be nice to experience the self-sufficient life here.


    She helped Chris and Chloe remove their shoes and rolled up their pant legs up to their knees. "We


    must be very careful, darlings." "Alrighty." Chris could not wait to walk into the stream.


    Chloe petted the dog and said, "Doggy, stay right here, alright? I''ll get in with Chris to get some


    lobsters. You''ll have nice food!" "Woof!" the dog blinked and licked Chloe''s leg. It was as if it was


    reminding her to be careful.


    Chloe smiled and said, "Don''t worry."

    She then got into the stream. "Chris, wait for me!"


    Chris looked back and stayed in the same spot. He reached out his hand to her.


    Chloe was shy but epted his hand.


    Chris held her hand as they both held up their pant legs, walking along the stream in search of lobsters.


    Charmine had a big-boss-currently-on-a-vacation look on her. She haughtily rolled up her sleeves and


    got inside to catch the lobsters.


    Chris held onto Chloe and saw a lobster but missed it. This did not deter them, however, as they were


    determined to catch that strong-willed lobster. They chased after it.


    Suddenly...
