Chapter 1048 Where did Charmine go?
It was so late. Where else could she have gone?
Anthony wiped his body with a towel before he walked out.
Meanwhile...
Charmine was downstairs, and she stood before Guy's bedroom as she knocked on his door.
Opening the door, Guy grew flustered at the sight of Charmine. "Ms. Jordan, what is it?"
"Your family is worried about you," replied Charmine as she handed him the phone.
Noticing that it was Dior calling, he received the phone and said, "Donât worry, Iâm fine. Tell Grandma to not do anything that hurts me again. I'll come home when I'm free."
"Okay, then. Do get along well with Charmine! God bless you!" ended Dior before she quickly hung up, and Guy did not even have a chance to explain to her.
The blushing Guy handed Charmine the phone. "Sorry, my sister is always like this. I hope you donât mind."
"Don't worry, rest well." Charmine took back her phone.
When Anthony came down, he happened to see Charmine and Guy standing outside the bedroom.
The blushing Guy was dressed in black pajamas while Charmine was dressed in her purple nightgown.
The two looked awfully like a perfect match standing next to one another.
Anthony felt the fire rising up in his chest. It was so late, so why was Charmine meeting Guy?
Also, she even wished him a good rest?
He remembered how she vehemently tried to push him as far away from her as possible, back when he tried to romance her.
Anthony had to walk forward and put his hands around Charmine's waist. "Itâs late, why did you come down?"
His voice was gentle and low, as if he was genuinely concerned.
Charmine was wise enough to detect the anger he held back, thus she quickly explained, "Dior couldn't contact Guy. She phoned me instead.â i "Why explain? I'm not a stingy man." Anthony lifted his hand to play with Charmine's hair. He said lovingly, "It's late, I came to ask you to sleep early." i Charmine frowned. Since when was he so understanding?
With Guy in front of them, she did not question him on the matter and went back upstairs with him.
Anthony walked beside her, but he could sense that Guy was still looking at Charmine.
There was another man in the house, and this man was looking at his woman?!
He wanted nothing more than to pound his face in.
Nonetheless, he was rational, and he knew he had to hold back for Charmine's sake in this situation...while not giving any chance to Guy.
The feeling itself just irked him, irritated him to the core! i The two of them went upstairs and shut the bedroom door.
Charmine looked at Anthony and questioned, "Are you truly okay? Don't assume things randomly; I merely passed on the phone."
"Don't worry, I'm not a stingy man. Time to sleep!"
Anthony turned off the lights as he spoke, and he brought her to bed as the room was blanketed in darkness.
Charmine was speechless.
Not a stingy man, he said? Why did he sound so strange then? i His grip on her was even too tight as if afraid of her running away...
She did not feel comfortable-his grip was so vice-like that she could not move.
However, she did not want to trigger him further. She did not speak and forced herself to fall asleep.
She fell asleep quickly, but Anthony could not.
He thought of how Guy looked as he gazed at Charmine, how gentle Charmine was toward Guy, and that foreign, unfamiliar feeling sizzled in his chest.
