Chapter 218 The gownâs short lantern sleeves were way too childish for Charmine, and if it was not for the sake of triggering Tiffany, she would never have worn this style of wedding gown. Just as she walked to the bathroom with new clothes at hand, the main door of the room was pushed open.

Anthony walked in and shut the door behind him.
Charmine frowned. âYouâre home. Whereâs Momo?â
âDoing his homework,â came Anthonyâs short reply as he walked toward her, his eyes locked o n her figure.
Her wavy hair cascaded past her shoulders, and the formal wedding gown emphasized her fair skin, showing her unique temperament.
âDonât change out of it yet,â said Anthony with a faint smile, âlet me have a few more looks.â
A few more looks? What? Was he serious?
âYou look stunning in the wedding gown,âcontinued Anthony in his husky voice. His deep voice praised her with a magnetic and mesmerizing tone; his look was sincere and seemed genuine.
Charmine blushed under his intense gaze, her heartbeat fastened as she became unusually nervous.
Anthony eyed her fair skin and that teenage-blush on her cheeks as he walked toward her. He barely realized that he was leaning closer toward her, and closer.
There was barely any distance between them by then.
They eventually got so close that all Charmine could smell was his earthy, masculine scent. Her heart thrummed rapidly, and she felt as if her body was transfixed that she was unable to resist.
In the blink of an eye, their lips were too close that they nearly met.
Suddenly...
Click!
The door was pushed open as Luke rushed in, saying, âSomethingâs happening-â
Before he could finish his sentence, he was made aware of the scene unfolding in front of his eyes. His boss was about to kiss Ms. Jordan! Amazing; they got to this stage at quite an impressive speed!
âIâm sorry, I...I didnât see anything!â Luke reeled back in shock and shut the door behind him.
Charmine could not believe that she nearly kissed Anthony. Worse still, she was not resisting him either! This did not make sense!
Charmine chose to pretend like nothing happened as she picked up her clothes and walked toward the bathroom. Just as she took two steps, however, she was held back by her wrist.
Instantly, she was pulled into a cozy and warm hug. Anthonyâs strong arms wrapped around her waist as he held her tightly with such an assertion.
âCharmine, I want to kiss you.â
Six words, uttered with his deep yet hoarse voice, mesmerizing and wild.
Charmineâs already blushing cheeks reddened even more as her already racing heartbeat turned rampant. This kind of voice and body was driving her out of control. Something would surely happen if this went on!
She wanted to resist, but as soon as she moved, a deep voice came from right above her head,â Donât move. I canât guarantee that I wonât go out of control.â
His voice was full of arrogance and possession, with a strong hint of self-restraint. Charmine was frozen in his arms, unable to move.
