Chapter 1011 "Do contact us if you need anything. We're friends."
With that said, Guy turned and went inside the car.
Dior sat inside the car as she gave Charmine a reluctant wave.
"Goodbye, Charlie."
Charmine saw that the car was about to move with a frown on her face, and it was then she walked toward their car, opened the door, and went inside.
Dior looked at her with disbelief. "You... You're willing to come with us?"
"Yeah, let's go," came Charmine's formal reply.
If she went back to Anthony, they would also be searching for Annabel anyway. Instead of being passive, she might as well get the bone and be proactive!
She could cure Chris once she got the bone, and everything would be fixed!
Charmine looked at Guy who was driving, and she then reminded sternly," Iâll need to make it clear right now: I've been in love with Anthony for a long time, and weâve already gotten our marriage certificate. I'll marry him no matter what. We can only pretend to be a couple to get the bone to save Chris, and this won't change no matter what. Whether we succeed or not, you're my friends and I owe it to you two. If thereâs anything I can help in the future, do let me know. Weâre only friends." 1 Her tone was serious and cautious.
Guyâs hand on the steering wheel stiffened, though he had expected everything. He nodded. "Donât worry, I won't have any ideas I shouldn't be having."
Dior, who sat by his side, also nodded. "Right! You can trust my brother. Donât worry!"
As long as Charmine agreed, she and her brother would have more time to spend together. She believed Charmine would eventually fall for Guy as they spent more time with one another. 4 Her brother was not any lesser than Anthony!
Even if they did not end up together in the end, at least she tried to match them up. She would not regret it. 1 The car gradually approached the Granger mansion that was built by the sea, granting the mansion with a view of the ocean.
However, there was a large field in front of the mansion with guards standing outside the gate. It looked formal.
The three of them got out of the car, and Dior then gushed to Charmine," Our parents arenât home, so only our grandparents are home now. If they ask, just say that you two want to keep it low-profile. Youâll get married before having the ceremony. Theyâre old, so as long as you don't act too distant, they wonât be able to tell anything.â 1 "Okay." Charmine agreed and followed them inside, 1 As the sun hung brightly in the skies, the two elders sipped their tea in the garden. When they saw them returning, Grandma Granger frowned. "Dior, Guy, you..."
"Grandma, Charmine made up her mind. She thinks Brother is good, and she's willing to marry him now and get along later,"
spoke Dior as she pulled at Charmine, making her and Guy stand together.
Charmine, standing beside Guy, looked rather awkward and resistant. 1 However, she thought of Chris and the red wolf bone. She had to act along.
When Grandma Granger heard that, she waved toward her. "Really? Really?
Come here-let me look at you." 1 Her tone sounded adoring as she spoke toward Charmine.
After a moment of hesitation, Charmine walked toward her.
