chapter 1925


    Chris recited a series of names, to which everyone praised him.


    Chris smiled proudly and said, "Don''t worry about me, Mommy, I can take good care of myself. What


    you should do now is to make a little sister for me to take care of.’


    Grandma Bailey, upon hearing Chris'' remark, visibly eased off of the anger Coco had caused. The


    elderly''s expression shifted into one of affection.


    Chris was indeed a mature boy.


    Charmine''s fair face softened shyly. She turned to look at Anthony and sharply caught the unnoticeable


    hint of awkwardness evident on Anthony’s face.


    She smoothened Chris'' hair. "Okay, 111 try."


    When Anthony heard this, his eyes darkened.


    It seemed that he had to quickly find the right time to exin the truth to her.


    "Yay!" Chris, pleased by this response, cuddled into Charmine''s arms, cing his heart and trust onto


    her.


    Yvette was dumbfounded at this, however.


    She looked at Chris and asked, "Dear, your birth mother is here, but why didn’t you greet her at all?


    What you did might hurt her feelings." "No, not at all." Annabel looked at Chris and Charmine with a


    kind expression and said, "I won’t get hurt. In fact, I''m grateful that Ms. Charmine is treating him like her


    birth son. This reassures me. Why would I get angry at Momo for being happy with Miss Charmine?"


    Yvette''s lips twitched.


    What was wrong with Annabel? Her son was treating her enemy as his actual mother, yet she was still


    so generous?


    This was so messed up!


    Not long after, rtives of the family trickled into the venue. Everyone greeted one another, and the


    ce became lively.

    Everyone came to celebrate Annabel''s birthday, and they all praised her for what she did yesterday.


    Chris, meanwhile, went to the backyard and called Chloe.


    "Chloe, I''ve reached home safely. I''lle back to find you in two days. What would you like? A car of


    lollipops? Alrighty, I''ll bring them to you," he spoke, sounding prideful and lofty like a young boss.


    Comment by Be C: for real real ''a car''?


    After exchanging some words, he hung up.


    Just as he turned around and wanted to look for Charmine, he met a pair of proud eyes.


    Coco crossed her arms as she stood before Chris, gazing at him sharply.


    Her cold eyes did not look like the eyes of a kid. 2


    Coco said proudly, "Chris Bailey, how are you still in the mood to talk here? Your birth mother is a


    farmer, weak and easily trampled on. Your stepmommy no longer loves you. She left you in the vige


    for a few days, and now, she’s going to have another baby with your Daddy? No matter how close she


    is to you now, she’s still not your birth mother! Once she has another baby, she''ll toss you away!"


    Chris visibly tensed at her snide remark. He clenched his fists and red at Coco angrily. "What


    nonsense are you talking about? Mommy won''t leave me!"


    Cocoughed mockingly. "Don''t be too confident. Do you think she’ll still remember you once she has


    her own baby? She''ll save the best things for her child, and you? Hmph! You''ll only be watching by the


    sidelines-’ "Shut up!" Chris growled at her, his eyes reddening in anger as he did.


    He was enraged, so terribly enraged, but he was well-taught to never hit a girl.


    All he could do was clench his fists as he quelled his anger. Just as Chris was about to leave...
