Chapter 1054 To Charmine, was not that type of man. He would not bully a child.
However, Chris' claims were not impossible.
Guy harbored feelings for her, so could he have said such things to Chris because of her?
Before she could speak, Anthony scoffed at Guy coldly, "Mr. Granger, this is our family matter. You don't have to teach my son!"
'This is a misunderstanding; I didn't say that. I saw him talking to someone, complaining how his stepmother mistreated him. I merely told him off..." Guy explained with a serious face, i Charmine narrowed her eyes.
Chris complaining about his stepmother?
Impossible!
Chris could never speak badly of her. He would never refer to her as his stepmother.
It seemed that Guy had...
She then looked at Chris who sobbed in her arms-he seemed wronged.
She had to pat Chris's little shoulder and said to Guy, âThank you Mr. Granger. No matter what Chris says in the future, kindly refrain from berating him. He's young, he can't take it."
With that said, she held onto Chrisâ tiny hand and led him into his bedroom.
Guy chased after them. "Ms. Jordan, this is a misunderstanding-"
Before he could finish, Anthony blocked him and glared daggers into him." Mr. Granger, Iâm grateful that you're transfusing blood for my woman. You may ask for any sum of money or any request. However, do stay away from my woman and child. Please keep your distance."
With that said, he turned and followed Charmine and Chris.
Guy remained transfixed on the spot. As he watched them leave, the anger welled up within him so much that he wanted to punch the wall.
He was wronged!
He did not lie. Chris framed him!
Well, Charmine must have already assumed he was a petty man with that.
Inside Chris' bedroom...
Chris sat by the side as he took Charmine's hand. 'Thank you for trusting me, Mommy. Don't blame Uncle Guy, what he said was true. Marrying Daddy is quite challenging, and I am just an extra..." "Alright, Momo, stop saying that. You're not an extra. I adore you the most, and I wouldn't be with your Daddy without you. Once I've recovered, I'll ask Guy to leave," Charmine comforted Chris.
Chris' eyes twinkled. 'Thank you, Mommy!"
Charmine put him to sleep and went back to the room with Anthony.
What she did not notice was that Chris made an 'okay' gesture to Anthony.
Concurrently, Guy was already sleeping on the floor outside the bedroom. He wanted to say something when he saw them coming in when he noticed the look on Anthony's face.
Since Charmine would not speak to him, he could only stay silent. He watched as Charmine and Anthony walked into their bedroom and closed the door, i Guy grew crestfallen at the closed door.
He was a full-grown, adult man yet was put through this.
Any other man would have left if he was in Guy's shoes, but this was Charmine... She needed him...
Just as the bitterness crept into his mind, his phone vibrated.
He took it out and noticed it was a text from Charmine.
[Mr. Granger, I'm sorry. I know Momo framed you, but with Anthony being jealous and Momo caring for me, I don't want them to feel bad or cause any more conflict. Sorry to have wronged you these days; I owe you one. I'll repay you in the future!] 1 After reading that, Guy instantly felt better.
Charmine did know Chris framed him after all!
Charmine did not misunderstand him. That was good!
The joy he felt at that moment, however, was fleeting as he grew sad once more.
Even though she knew, she chose to hurt him instead of making Chris sad or Anthony jealous...
