Chapter 1382 Charmine caught onto Anthonyâs suspicion and piped in, "I realized this afternoon how it's not worth being so beat for Faye. Look at you: You haven't been resting in the past two days, and you look so worn out. It hurts me to see you like this."
Anthony felt moved as he gazed at her meaningfully, was touched. "Do you really think so?" "Yes."
He could not help kissing her cheek, his eyes gleaming endearingly instead of being aloof. "Iâll listen to my wife. Let's go home."
Chris ran out of the playground the moment they both entered the villa. Instead of running to his father, his own kin, he ran right into Charmine's arms. "Mommy! You're finally home! I missed you so much!"
Charmine lifted him into her arms, her eyes filled with maternal adoration." Mommy misses you, too! That's why I came home to spend time with you." "Haha! Mommy is the best! Mwah!" Chris pecked Charmine's cheek as he was still nestled in her arms, not wanting to let go of her.
Anthonyâs face turned cold at the sight. "Get down!" "Haha! Momo misses you a lot, too, Daddy!" chirped Chris adorably.
Anthony's expression did not lose its intensity. "Enough hugging! Get down!" i Charmine was his!
Charmine was mystified by his behavior. Was he jealous of his son?
With a pout on his face, Chris reluctantly got down from Charmine's hold, and the three of them entered the living room where Lucas came toward them. "Sir, Madam."
Anthony nodded. "Go and sort out the company's matter." "Noted." Luke then left.
It was 3 p.mâ as Charmine looked at the time.
She thought about it and asked Anthony, "What would you like to eat tonight?"
Anthony looked at her. "What?"
Why would she ask that?
"I'll cook for you,â came Charmine's answer.
Anthony halted. "You?" "Yeah?" said Charmine. "You don't trust my cooking skills?" "Itâs not that." Anthony held onto her fair hand. "Your hands are meant for more important matters or for admiration. You shouldn't use them to cook."
Charmine was taken aback; he still treated her so well...
That merely depressed her, however, the nicer he treated her. i She held his arm and leaned on his shoulder. "It's okay to prepare a meal once in a while. Also, you deserve it. I should be thanking you."
Anthony reached out to scratch her nose. "It's worth being worn out after hearing that, then."
It was an atmosphere filled with endearment.
Chris clapped and cheered by the side, "Yay! Daddy and Mommy will kiss! Kiss!"
Charmine was at a loss for words, though she tried to change the topic as she ruffled his tiny head, "Don't be naughty now, dearest. Mommy will make dinner tonight. Are you excited?"
Chris was overjoyed. "Hooray!"
Charmine said gently, "Momo, what would you like to eat?"
Chris thought about it and said, "Mommy, can we have barbecue? I remember the first time we ate at your place; it was delicious!"
Charmine thought of that and nodded. "Okay, let's have a barbecue." It was then she thought of something as she turned to ask Anthony, "Are you okay with this?" "Of course." Anthony was fine with it.
A barbeque was simple, and she did not have to get tired.
Charmine said, "Alright, then. I'll go and buy the ingredients while you both stay home."
Anthony looked at her. "You're going alone?" "Yeah."
They had not gone public. Of course she should not be seen with him.
Anthony reeled her back with a tug of her hand. "Hold on." 1 "Hmm?" Charmine was confused.
