chapter 1683


    Was she, Charmine, actually feeling bad for this douchebag?


    Anthony had been utterly cold-blooded to her. The pain he suffered was nothing inparison to that.


    He cheated on her, and for that, must not be forgiven!


    Recalling how he had slept with Waverly, Charmine''s softened expression turned dark and tense once


    more.


    Noticing her gaze, Anthony''s heart sank.


    Did she have a shback? She seemed rather epting a moment ago, so why was she so taut all of


    a sudden?


    Anthony pursed his lips and cleared up the table. ''Til do the dishes."


    Charmine looked at him coldly but was unable to shake off how... conflicted she felt.


    What was wrong with her? She even said yes to letting him eat with her for three days, all because he


    protected her?


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    He had protected others, too.


    She had gone too easy on him, and this must not continue!


    It had only been a few days, yet she had been opening up to him. What would happen down the line? If


    she softened even more after this...


    No.


    A douche like him was not worth her attention at all!


    Charmine turned to look at the man doing the dishes and walked toward him.


    Anthony was doing the dishes when he heard footstepsing his way, and he turned toward her,


    asking, "Is there something else? Just tell me, and I''ll do them. You just get some rest."


    Charmine rposed herself and shot him a cold stare, scoffing at him. " Just pack up and return to


    Burlington, Anthony."


    Anthony stiffened at that, and his expectant gaze grew murky in confusion. "Why?" "We don''t have


    specialists here, and you have to treat your snake-bite wound. Also, you have flu-like symptoms, and


    it''s time to get treated. If you stay here, they''ll only worsen," stated Charmine coldy.


    Anthony frowned. Was Charmine chasing him back?


    She had just softened toward him today, too, so why the sudden shift to a cold shoulder?


    He remained persistent. "My illness is nothing, and the doctor said that the poison has been cleared


    up. Also, Chloe also said there are some herbs on the mountain that could treat my cold."


    He did not even give her a chance to retort as he looked at her darkly. "Ms.


    Jordan, are you worried about me?"


    Charmine halted.


    What a douche! She already made it clear, yet he still acted dumb?


    She scoffed. "Not at all—I just don''t want you to die here. Chris will be worried. If you insist you’re fine,


    then whatever. Just don''t show your face in front of me, or I’ll stab you."


    Charmine was ruthless in the way she spoke, and her eyes were harsh and emotionless.


    Anthony frowned. Why did she change so abruptly?


    "That might not happen," hemented. "Have you not forgotten that you''ve promised to let me eat


    here for three days?"


    Chris suddenly appeared in front of the kitchen and grinned. "Mommy, I heard that, too. You can''t break


    your promise, and you must be honest!" 1


    D*mn it!


    Why did she say yes to that deal? It was a huge mistake!


    Despite regretting it, Charmine must not break her promise in front of the child. At this rate, she could


    only leave quietly.


    Chris looked at how adorably angry Charmine was and grinned at Anthony.


    "Daddy, how did I do?" "Very well. Keep it up."


    With that said, Anthony''s tension finally broke. He reached out to hold onto the table by the side as his


    other hand was ced on his cramping stomach.
