chapter 1590


    Chris said politely, "Grandma,e to our house and eat. Mommy made tomato and egg noodles. It''s


    yummy! The tomatoes are fresh, and the eggs, well..." He felt rather embarrassed. "Chloe and I got it


    from the chicken nest at your ce."


    Seeing how adorable Chris was, the smile on the vige head''s face widened. She ruffled his head.


    "Okay, feel free to take as many eggs as you like." "Yay!" Chris supported the vige head by the side.


    "Grandma, let’s go home and eat!" "Alright, let''s go.”


    Charmine went to her side and helped to support her, too.


    When the three of them turned around, they heard the women’s sneers behind their backs.


    "She can’t even manage her own things and went on to boss about others "Sigh! She thinks she''s a


    kind person! When you''re kind to the wrong people, they won’t thank you!" "I know. The older she gets,


    the sillier she bes! This neer is so fake, but she still treats her so well!” "The neer and


    her son came here to eat and take advantage of her! She must’ve been boycotted by the city people


    and came hiding in our vige!"


    The vige head reached out to hold Charmine''s arm. She gently patted her and gave her a reassuring


    smile.


    Charmine returned the smile and did not seem to mind the jeers.


    Helping the vige head back home and recalling how everyone hurled usations at her, Charmine


    could not fight the question in her mind, asking, "Grandma, what happened earlier?”


    Mentioning this, the vige head had a worried look on her peaceful face. " Someone came here,


    wanting to develop thisnd into a tourist area. I didn''t agree. We''ve lived here all our lives, and all ofCopyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    our generations were here. How can we forget our roots? They wanted to sell it, but I stopped them."


    She had a peaceful smile. "I don''t mind what they say about me, just as long as I keep this ce.


    However, the young men said they’ll being back. I''m worried that even though we kept it this time,


    we might not be able to do so in the next few times. After all, they came with cash. The vigers hadn''t


    seen so much money in their lives, and they might be persuaded." 1


    Charmine pursed her lips. A thought urred to her as she said to the vige head, "Grandma, I have


    an idea. Don''t worry too much-just rx."


    The vige head looked at Charmine gently and held her hand. She nodded. "Okay." 1


    She knew Charmine was just saying that to make her feel better, but it was better than those who


    criticized her.


    Charmine went back to her house and went inside her room. She took out a high-tech router from her


    suitcase and ced it by the window, trying to connect to the inte.


    Her eyes lit up, and she started using her phone to make a n.


    As she got to work, she heard knocking on her door.


    Thinking it was Chris, Charmine put down her things and went to open the door...only to be greeted


    with an empty doorway.


    There was only an orange bouquet of roses along with arge paper box. There were all kinds of


    expensive things inside.


    Charmine frowned. She walked out to look around but saw no one.


    She looked at the roses and the box with all the necessities. Most obvious of all was a brand new


    laptop.


    Who sent her such expensive things?


    She instinctively thought of Anthony.


    Was it...him? Had he found out Chris was staying, and that was why he sent these?


    Moved, Charmine instinctively looked around with anticipation.


    If he came, he could stay with her in this rxing vige for a short while with Chris. How beautiful


    would that be?


    Still, why did he not show himself?


    Was he worried about Waverly getting jealous?
