Chapter 1248 Faye did not expect, however...
Anthony flinched away quickly, stepping back to keep his distance from her.
He glared at her, his eyes cold like ice.
Faye dared not move, but her giddiness remained.
She said she was scared and Anthony agreed right away. This showed that Anthony did care about her.
Not wanting to mess things up, she followed after Anthony diligently.
When she turned over and saw Charmine in the pavilion, she raised her brows as if she had won the battle.
Charmine was unfazed, however. She was not interested in this.
If she was not Frank's sister, Charmine would not have spoken to her.
What she did look at was Anthony's cold back. Was he truly not angry?
He asked her to learn from Frank and did not seem to care, yet he went with Faye to agitate her!
Could he not tell that Faye was all over him? 1 Charmine looked away and clenched the brush tighter.
Frank heard her change and felt her pressure against the brush. He smiled." Charmine, if you want to go, you may tag along.
The view is quite nice up there.â "No need,â dismissed Charmine, "I need to practice.â "Okay,â Frank's tone turned duller. "Learn it quicker and go back sooner."
Charmine was so focused on Anthony that she did not notice the change in Frank's tone.
She took a deep breath and let go of her thoughts, focusing entirely on her practice.
That evening...
Faye carried a basket full of herbs back with Anthony.
When Faye saw Charmine, she loudly spoke, "Thank you for taking great care of me in the afternoon, Brother Anthony."
Baffled, Anthony looked at her dully and warned her, "Shut up. Don't make things up!" 1 Since when did she take care of her?
He always kept one meter away from her!
Faye smiled as if she did not hear him and continued, "Thank you. I'll sort out the herbs."
With that said, she placed down the bamboo basket and walked to the side.
Anthony remained where he stood as he looked at the pavilion. Coincidentally, Charmine was looking at him as well.
His pupils dilated as his gaze unconsciously drifted to Frank.
Thinking of how he taught Charmine so well, Anthony walked to the side to help sort out the herbs.
Faye frowned and pulled him away. "Brother Anthony, this isn't how you do it.â
Anthony halted and looked up at her.
After a while, he tightened his grip and asked, "How?" "I'll teach you."
Faye leaned in closer.
Anthony stiffened. His veins were showing and his face cold. He scoffed coldly, "You do it."
Smiling, Faye went closer to him and started to teach him how to blend them.
Anthony's face turned cold, on the verge of exploding but remained silent as he learned from her.
Noticing that she was so close to being in his arms and he did not push her away, Faye was satisfied.
She stared at Charmine the whole time as she put on a show for her, all while not noticing Anthony's glower.
When Charmine looked over, Faye had an idea and reached out to touch Anthony's hands.
