Chapter 133 Anthony sat by Charmineâs bedside, staring at her as he said, â Whatever Eric can do, I can do as well. If thereâs a next time, you should consider me.â His low voice carried a sense of overbearingness.
Charmineâs shoulders were held by him and they sat quite close together. The only thing she could smell was his strong, musky scent. For some strange reason, her heart started to beat faster, jumping uncomfortably within her chest. (This Novel daily new chapters provide it www.InfoBagh.Com)
She shrugged his hands away and said, âIf Iâm ever in a TV series and need the human equivalent of a leech, Iâll surely consider you then.â
Anthony was speechless. It took a moment before he smiled faintly and said, âIf you were the female lead in the TV series, I donât need to get paid. Consider it a friends and family discount.â
This silenced Charmine.
She thought inwardly, âWhen he decides to go for it, heâs absolutely shameless.
âWhat are you here for? I was planning on calling it an early night,â Charmine told him.
âIâm here to bring you dinner,â Anthony replied as he stood u p to uncover the food container. After that, he placed it in front of her.
The container was filled with tasty delights and arranged into cartoon shapes. âDid Chris make this for me?â Charmine wondered.
Even though she had already eaten, Charmine received the meal and said, âPlease thank Chris for me.â
âThis... This might be a little hard,â Anthony said as he furrowed his brow. Charmine continued to eat while she looked at him confused. Anthony responded, âChris said that h e wonât accept an indirect thank you. He wants to hear you say it in person so heâll be waiting at the Bailey family mansion for you.â
Charmine almost spat out her mouthful of food. âThey planned for me to go to the Bailey family mansion? So this meal was also one of their traps!â
Anthony smiled and consoled her by saying, âDonât worry, there arenât any wolves or tigers in the Bailey mansion. Chris has also prepared a present for you to celebrate when youâve gotten out of jail. In the past two days, heâs lost his appetite and has trouble sleeping. He misses you dearly.â With those words, Charmine had no way of refusing them.
Charmine could only agree. âFine. Once Iâm out, Iâll spare some time to drop by.â
Chris who was standing outside leaped for joy as soon as he heard that. âYay! Mommy will be coming to our home as a NIJS guest! Daddy and mommy will be able to spend some quality time together! (This Novel daily new chapters provide it www.InfoBagh.Com)
Charmine heard a sound outside. She frowned and called out,â What was that sound? It sounds like thereâs someone outside âNo, it might be a...mouse,â Anthony quickly glanced outside and tried to change the subject. âCharmine, tomorrowâs extremely important. Whatever help you need, feel free to ask away.â
Tomorrow would be the caseâs hearing date, so the case would be settled one way or another. Everyone was waiting to see Charmine sentenced to prison. All the 11 models were also anticipating the moment when Charmine would publicly apologize to them and also pay them the compensation she had promised.
There were also many reporters and netizens who would also race to the court to livestream the happenings. If there was even the slightest misstep, it would have huge consequences. However, Charmine breezily continued to enjoy the meal that Chris had prepared for her and said, âRelax, my person will definitely be able to handle this tiny matter.â, âTiny matter...â Anthony wondered bewilderedly.

Anthony saw how assured and confident she looked, so he decided to hold his tongue. âEnjoy the food and sleep early tonight.
Iâll head back to help Momo prepare your gifts together,â Anthony said with a calm yet elegant tone, even if he was nagging her slightly.
Charmine watched his retreating back and her heart felt the note of something strange. She could see that he truly cared about her and really wanted to see her again. Over the past few days while she had been locked in the detention room, he was the person she had seen the most. If only the event from five years ago did not happen, if that b*stard did not...
At that moment, she could almost hear a faint voice from outside her room, âDaddy! Youâre amazing!â
