Chapter 1385 Anthony and Charmine laid in bed, with Chris nestled between them.
It might have been due to his excitement that Chris still tossed and turned at 11 p.m., unable to sleep a wink as he gazed at Charmine, brightly grinning at her.
Seeing how tired Charmine seemed, Anthonyâs gaze grew wrathful as he snapped, "Sleep, now!"
Chris blinked his innocently big eyes, muttering, "But I can't fall asleep."
He had not seen Charmine for too many days. He missed her too much.
Anthony was speechless.
Charmine offered, 'Til tell you some bedtime stories, then?" "Okay! Hehe!" Chris leaned into her arms obediently.
Charmine then picked up a storybook with her clear voice ringing, "One day, Adam made a robot friend. The robot ran with him..."
Her voice was gentle and soothing, almost hypnotic, so much so that Chris somehow fell asleep in her arms as he listened.
Charmine put him down carefully and draped the blanket over him.
Thinking Anthony was asleep, she looked over to see his hands put behind his head, all while looking at her.
She halted. "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Anthony looked at her, and his thin lips parted for him to utter, "Waiting for you."
Feeling touched, Charmine carefully got out of bed and walked toward his side of the bed, lying next to him and nuzzling into his arms naturally.
Anthony hugged her and looked at her with his darkened eyes, saying, "You acted strange today."
Charmine's heart almost missed a beat.
Did he find out something?
She tried her best to keep calm and asked, "So I can't even treat you nicer?
I'll just treat you like how I used to, then?"
With that, Charmine stood up and threatened to leave, only to be pulled back by Anthony, reeling her back in with an arm around her waist.
He hugged her tightly, his warm breath fanning her ears. "Do you think you can leave now?"
Charmine was speechless, her blush searing across her face. 'The kid is right next to us."
Anthony gave her a half-smile. "I only want to hug you to sleep. What are you hinting at?" i Charmine was speechless.
Fine.
She thought too much of it.
She laid in his arms with her face flushing red. Words danced at her lips but she had no idea where to start. Furthermore, what she said today was already very suspicious to him.
If she spoke more, he might catch on.
Therefore, she could only find a comfortable spot in his arms and said," Goodnight, darling."
Anthony stared at her affectionately, his Adam's apple bobbing as he hoarsely responded, "Goodnight."
Charmine laid in his arms with her eyes shut, while he was unwilling to rest his eyes, gazing at her with clouded eyes.
He wanted to engrave this serene look of hers deeply into his bones.
Even if he lost his memories during the experiment, he still wanted to remember how beautiful she looked at this moment.
The next day when Charmine woke up, Anthony was no longer beside her, though Chris still slumbered in her arms.
Charmine cast him a gentle gaze.
Should she still have a chance in the future, she would want to treat him with only the best and never wrong him again.
Even if she was not his birth mother, she would treat him like her own, or even better! i Chris seemed to have sensed Charmine's gazejolting awake as he opened his drowsy eyes.
When he saw Charmine in front of him, he rubbed his eyes and recalled what happened last night. His small, white teeth were revealed as he said with a sleepy voice, "Mommy, good morning!" "Good morning."
Charmine looked at him. Suddenly, she recalled something, and her eyes sparkled.
She caressed his round face and said, "My dear, would you help Mommy to do something?"
