chapter 1728


    Charmine''s cold eyes stared at the screen, not once blinking, and her hand that held the remote


    clenched tightly.


    Was the urgent matter Anthony referring to was him marrying Waverly?


    Howughable!


    When Chris noticed Charmine''s expression, he blurted, "I don''t want to watch this, Mommy. I want to


    watch cartoon shows."


    Charmine snapped out of her thoughts. Not wanting to subject Chris to watching this horrible news, she


    switched to a different channel...only to find that it was streaming the same news.


    They were all reporting about Waverly and Anthony.


    Charmine watched on with a cold smile on her lips.


    Who did he think she was? He hurt her, caressed her, and then left her!


    All that, and he had the audacity to share this news throughout the entire globe?


    Chris, seeing what Charmine saw, was rendered speechless.


    "Mommy, I don''t want to watch anymore," muttered Chris. ''TH go to sleep."


    With that said, he angrily grabbed the controller and shut the television before casting his nce at


    Charmine sullenly, lips pursed.


    He wanted to coax her, but what his douche-dad did was too much. Even he was angry at him, let


    alone Charmine.


    Charmine snapped out of her thoughts and turned to look at Chris, acting as though she was


    unbothered. "Alright. Rest well."


    After Chris went to the bedroom, Charmine leaned on the sofa. Her gentle look gradually stiffened. She


    looked cold.


    She unconsciously picked up the remote once more, wanting to watch the news. However, she did not


    want to wake Chris up.


    Moreover, what good would it do to her if she watched? Could she stop them?


    It would only hurt her even more.


    Charmine got up from the sofa. She opened the fridge, brought out a dozen beers to the front yard, and


    started drinking alone.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Inside the bedroom...


    Chris'' tiny figure leaned toward the window and watched Charmine, who was in the front yard.


    Charmine must be so upset. Her figure seemed so deste, so defeated.


    Aggrieved, Chris'' tiny fists clenched tightly. He went back to bed and picked up his phone to text


    Anthony.


    [You big meanie! I don''t want a Daddy like you!] [From now on, I only have Mommy and no Daddy!]


    [Just be with your new wife, then. Don''t you ever show yourself in front of me and Mommy again!


    Otherwise, I’ll let my dogs bite you!]


    At the front yard.


    Charmine was drinking alone when the door abruptly opened. She could not help the gleam of hope


    that crossed her eyes, could not help but wish that Anthony had returned.


    Did hee back to exin everything to her, that the news was fake?


    Charmine thus turned toward the door, only to be met with Dior.


    Her bright eyes dulled.


    Dior acted as if she just saw a family member when she saw Charmine. Her nose became itchy, and


    she broke.


    She sobbed as she walked toward Charmine. Upon noticing the bottles of beer, she picked one up and


    started drinking away.


    Charmine narrowed her eyes. When she saw just how swollen Dior''s eyes were, she asked, "What


    happened? Did the handsome man wrong you?" "Don''t mention that douche!" Dior put down the bottle


    heavily and wiped off her tears. "He dumped me!" she eximed nasally, her sobs hindering her


    sentences in between her words. "Most frustrating of all, he never loved me. He treated me well, only


    to use me!"


    Charmine frowned and said nothing for a moment. She picked up the bottle and clinked it with hers.


    "He''s just a man, but there are plenty on earth. Don''t get too upset."


    Dior clinked her bottle with Charmine''s, whining, "But I can''t ept it! The evil woman joined forces


    with the other man to lie to this douchebag, yet he tantly believed her instead!"
