chapter 1691
Charmine paused for a moment before nodding at Anthony.
With that, Anthony cut off the thorns and left Charmine with only smaller nts to deal with.
Meanwhile, Chris entered the kitchen and grinned at the thought of his n.
Connecting a hose to the water source and turning it on, he then took it outside happily and started
watering the nts.
"I''m watering the nts."
Charmine and Anthony had no idea of what Chris was up to.
As his gaze flickered to and fro, Chris swiftly shifted the hose in their direction, shooting them with
water as he seriously eximed, "I need to water them, too!”
The water assailed Anthony and Charmine like a heavy downpour.
"Agh!" Charmine cried out in shock.
Just like that, Charmine and Anthony''s backs were drenched in water.
Anthony reacted and instinctively shielded Charmine from the water. He then turned to look at the
water that only grew stronger, then at Chris darkly. "What are you doing?" "Watering the nts!" Chris
answered as he cleverly moved the water and pointed it directly at Charmine, all while winking at
Anthony as signals.
''Daddy, it''s time for you to be a hero!’
The water pelted against both of them, and Charmine was thoroughly wet. Flipping her hair to the side,
she helplessly yelled, all while moving away, " Chris, turn down the water!"
However, Chris'' eyes were fixed on them. "Mommy and Daddy can’t run away!"
Charmine and Anthony were speechless.
Was this boy doing this on purpose?
However, seeing the innocent grin on Chris’ face, they had no heart to chastise. The only option left for
them was to flee from the spouting water.
Chris’ tiny figure gave chase as he intentionally directed the hose pipe at Charmine.
Floosh!
The water shot toward Charmine.
Just as Charmine attempted to dodge the water, Anthony''s tall figure suddenly emerged, shielding her
from the water entirely though drenching him in the process.
Charmine gazed at Anthony, all soaked, then at his wide shoulders, conflicted.
Despite water droplets raining down on them, Charmine was spared whenever Anthony protected her
like this.
Charmine had always been self-reliant, notcking any sense of security.
At this very moment, however, she felt it nketing her warmly.
It truly felt for her that even if the sky fell, Anthony would safeguard her, still.
For that, Charmine was impassioned.
She watched as Anthony walked toward the water to get to Chris, yet even then, Anthony, at this
moment, was surreal to her.
Charmine would have been the happiest woman on earth had nothing broken her heart.
s...something did.
Just like broken ss, no matter how one tried to glue the pieces back, they would not be the same.
Although Charmine chose to ease herself and let everything take its course, it did not mean that she
had forgiven Anthony.
Anthony walked toward Chris, but Chris was still pointing the pipe at them both.
Knowing he could not stop Chris, Anthony walked back to Charmine.
Noticing how unkempt her hair was, Anthony instinctively reached out and tucked her hair behind her
ears.
Charmine was rooted on the spot and forgot how to react as she stared at Anthony wide-eyed, allowing
him to tuck her hair as he pleased.
This did not go unseen by Chris, too, and he stopped aiming the hose at them. His gaze shifted around
as he eyed them both.
Anthony should be kissing Charmine, right? 1
That was what Chris expected.
However...
Noticing that the water assault had stopped, Charmine reacted and flipped her hair back.

Anthony''s hand hung mid-air before he put it down.
Looking at her drenched clothes, he said, "Go back and get changed. Don’t catch a cold."
Charmine nodded coldly at that and swept a nce at his own clothes with water dripping down them.
Pursing her lips, she said nothing and turned to walk into the house.
Anthony remained still and watched Charmine leave, his expression gentle as he turned to walk away.
