chapter 1723
Charmine stared at Anthony dubiously. "Are you taking me as a three-year-old?"
Was she not taking good care of herself?
"I''m just worried you’ll end up neglecting your wellbeing in your busy schedule, is all," replied Anthony.
Charmine nced at him coldly. "You''re thinking too much. As you can see now, I''ll take good care of
myself."
Anthony nodded. ''That’s good."
He looked all the more strange as Charmine stared at him. Apart from his behavior, she could see he
had a lot of things in mind.
What happened to him?
Instantly, Charmine was reminded of their status. She asked him nothing else and continued eating in
silence.
After dinner, Anthony took the initiative to clean and wash the dishes.
Charmine brought Chris to enjoy the night breeze and moon at the pavilion. After a moment, she
asked, unable to refrain herself, "Dear, did anything happen to your father this afternoon?”
Chris'' eyes narrowed at the question and instantly recalled how pained Anthony looked when he was
inside the room.
A twinge of sadness shed across Chris’ eyes, but as he recalled that Anthony had told him not to tell
Charmine, he replied, "Nothing happened. Daddy was working all afternoon while I yed with Chloe."
"Oh." Charmine turned around.
Seeing Anthony''s tall figure standing in the kitchen, he looked just fine.
Charmine pursed her lips. Was she over-analyzing things?
Probably.

Charmine did not dwell on this matter as she entertained Chris for a while before returning to the room.
After shower, she chatted with Adam about the progress before she felt tiredness looming over her.
Knowing she had to wake up early the next morning to help out at the site, sheid in bed and fell
asleep not long after.
The night darkened.
Themp remained lit inside Anthony’s room.
Under the soft moonlight, his tall figure stood before the wooden door as his imcable gaze fixed
itself at the bamboo house where Charmine resided. Deep longingness whirled in his pupils. 1
Anthony had no idea when he would see her again.
He prayed she would...take care of herself.
Anthony stood still with his hands behind him for a very long
while. Finally, he left a letter on the table before leaving.
Inside the bamboo house, Charmine was deeply asleep.
She had a dream, one where she was on a luxurious cruise. Anthony wore the suit that she had
designed for him, a sprightly bouquet of flowers at hand as he approached her.
"Charmine, will you marry me?"
Charmine, dressed in a white gown and lips painted in red, answered, "I do."
Even the air was filled with love.
The scene then changed, and the setting was in a vi.
Charmine, with a swollen belly, was admiring the flowers with Anthony, who watched over her
constantly, caringly.
Chris, meanwhile, stood next to them. They were a happy family of three.
The birds were chirping outside the window.
Charmine jolted awake in shock. As her eyelids parted, it then dawned on her that it was all a dream.
She looked up at the ceiling and could not help recalling the scenes from her dream: She got married
to Anthony, and they then had a baby.
The sunset in her dream was so beautiful.
An idea lit up Charmine''s mind as she sprang to action.
She gazed out of the window and at the misty sky outside before turning to Chris who was beside her.
"Momo," she gently spoke.
Chris instantly woke up and rubbed his eyes as he did. “
Good morning, Mommy."
Charmine gazed at him fondly, much like a mother would to her son, and said, "Dear, why don''t you
wake your Daddy so we can watch the sunrise together?"
"Watch the sunrise?” Chris'' eyes widened with delight as he happily answered, "Okay, Mommy! Can I
bring Chloe along?"
Charmine smiled. "Yes, you may.”
Chris instantly sprinted out of the house, raced toward Anthony''s house, and went inside.
