chapter 1802


    Charmine could feel the urgency in Anthony''s kisses. At the thought of what would ensue from this, she


    found herself unable to tune into the zone.


    Her every cell and fiber resisted this intimacy.


    However, Anthony did not notice her strange behavior. He lifted Charmine and walked toward the bed,


    gently and softly as he ced her on it.


    His hand slipped past her skinny waist, and he was about to continue... when Charmine’s small, cold


    hand reached out and held onto hisrge, burning-hot hand. "Anthony," she soberly stopped him,


    "wait." "Hmm?" Anthony looked at her. "What is it?"


    His voice was low and hoarse; he was restraining himself, i


    Charmine looked at him and said, "We haven''t showered yet."


    Hearing this extinguished half of Anthony''s desire.


    However, thinking of how this was their first night and he did not want to give her a bad impression,


    Anthony got off of her and lifted her into his arms, saying, "We’ll shower together, then!"

    Charmine looked visibly abashed as she leaned into his arms and looped her skinny arms around his


    neck.


    Although she genuinely resisted this, she was still married to him.


    Tonight was their wedding night, and it would be their first night.


    She did not want to upset Anthony.


    Charmine gave herself a mental pep-talk. After the shower, she would have to ept what was to


    happen.


    Perhaps after she had done it with Anthony, she would no longer have fear of this. Thinking back, she


    recalled all the beautiful moments she had shared with Anthony.


    After going into the bathroom, Anthony ced Charmine on the sink and he bent down to kiss her red


    lips. He said, "I''ll prepare our bath."


    Charmine gazed at the tall figure before her and inhaled deeply. She kept on reassuring herself to try to


    ept it.


    As she was reassuring herself, Anthony walked toward her once more and lifted her to the bathtub,


    gently cing her inside before he followed suit.


    The water was up to their neck.


    Anthony closed their distance, his gaze darkening when he did, and he hoarsely said, "Let’s continue


    where we left off, dearest."


    Charmine, still racked with nervousness, simply pulled an excuse, "I don''t like it here. Why don''t we


    wait till we get out?"


    Even though she was ready, Charmine always had cold feet when it was time.


    Anthony halted. He did not think too much of the matter, however, and he did not press on with the


    intimacy. With that, he started to bathe her genuinely, washing her pliantly as he cleared off the hunger


    within his headspace.


    Not long after, however, they finally went back to bed.


    Charmineid in bed tensely, and that did not go unnoticed by Anthony. He could feel her fear and


    uneasiness. He leaned above her as he soothed her gently.


    It was only when she was rxed did he ask, though huskily so, "May I, dearest?"


    Charmine looked up at him and took a deep breath. She nodded.


    Anthony felt moved upon seeing this.


    Just as he was about to lower his head to continue, however-


    His phone red right on cue.


    Charmine reacted quickly, reminding him, "Your phone."


    Anthony, however, did not stop, and chose only to say, "Just ignore it."


    Charmine frowned. She pushed him away and said, "What if it''s something urgent? Go and answer it."


    Anthony had to stop. "Okay, I’ll listen to my darling. Wait for me."


    He kissed her deeply before getting out of bed. He walked to the living room to take his phone.


    Upon noticing that it was Nial calling him, his face sank as he coldly answered the call, "You better


    have something important to tell me!"


    Nial was bbergasted at this greeting.


    When he heard Anthony''s unpleasant voice, he feebly reported his finding.
