chapter 1664


    Charmine ced her arms behind her head. Since she was used to sleeping early and waking up early,


    tiredness gnawed at her.


    Not wanting to trouble herself anymore, she shut her eyes and gently fell asleep.


    A long whileter,te at night...


    It was quiet when the bathroom door slowly opened.


    Anthony had bathed in ice-cold water for a few hours before he managed to repress his carnal urges,


    and only then did he exit the bathroom.

    He spotted Charmine, who had fallen asleep on the sofa, and frowned.


    She actually fell asleep?


    He endured the harsh, bone-shaking ice-cold water of a shower, while sheid here as if nothing was


    happening?


    She looked sofortable, just dozing off like that!


    Did she not care for him...at all?


    Anthony felt his anger rising in his chest, but as he watched how unbothered Charmine was, his heart


    sank, 1


    What right did he have to me her? He was the one who pushed her away, and it was he who broke


    her heart so cold-bloodedly, i


    He was the reason why she was so ruthless.


    At least she did not leave him alone in the house. Looking at it this way, it was not bad.


    She must have harbored fondness for him still, regardless of how faint they were, did she not?


    Why else would she stay?


    Touched at the thought, his gaze turned murky with his emotions whirling together.


    His body, despite being racked with coldness, grew warmer, and he unconsciously made his way


    toward Charmine. Reaching her side at the sofa, he gulped as he studied her delicate, perfect face.


    Even though he had deep desires for her, he knew Charmine.


    With lips pursed into a tight line, Anthony stretched out his arms, enduring the pain that tormented one


    of his arms, and carefully took her into his arms. He brought her into the room and ced her in bed,


    draping the nket over her form.


    Luckily, Charmine was asleep the whole time, unaware of what had happened.


    Anthony stood by the bed and gazed at Charmine fondly and affectionately. Perhaps this was the only


    time when he could show his true feelings for her.


    After watching her for a very long time, he could not help bending down to ce a gentle peck on her


    cheek.


    Following that, he looked at her deeply and then gently walked out of the room to rest on the sofa.


    Chris and Chloe woke up early the following morning and made chicken soup. They then went back to


    the small house and knocked on the door.


    Anthony, who was on the sofa, jolted awake at the knocks before standing up, albeit listlessly so. It felt


    like he was walking on clouds.


    Following that, he felt a severe headache, and his breathing wasbored.


    Frowning, he felt his forehead...and realized it was burning hot.


    He bathed in ice-cold water for a few hoursst night and slept on the sofa, not keeping warm the


    whole night.


    Did he catch a cold?


    Anthony did not bother, however. He withstood the pain and walked to open the door, revealing a


    starry-eyed Chris.


    "Daddy, how wasst night?”


    Anthony looked at him coldly and answered hoarsely, "You''re a kid. Why ask so much?"


    Chris squinted at Anthony''s voice.


    Why did he sound like this?


    Meeting the boy''s gaze, a thought urred to Anthony. "Speak softer; your Mommy is resting in the


    bedroom. She must be tired fromst night."


    Chris was stunned.


    Did his father just imply.Jhat he and Charmine got back together?


    Hehehe!


    Chris finally let out a sigh of relief and walked in with Chloe.


    Meanwhile...


    Charmine, inside the bedroom, could hear murmurs and footsteps outside and woke up before


    frowning in confusion at her surroundings.


    Was she not sleeping on the sofa? Since when did shee into the bedroom?


    Did Anthony carry her here?


    Goodness. His wounded arm would hurt even more if he slept on the sofast night!
