Chapter 282 Chris sat by Charmineâs side as he did his homework. While there was no interaction between them, they were in sync, Anthonyâs office was originally located somewhere else on the ninth floor, but since Charmine had been busy working in the computer room for the past two days, he decided to sort out his documents on the sofa of the computer room as well.
At that moment, Luke walked in and reported, âMr. Bailey, Ms. Jordan, Ms. McKenzie is here at the entrance.â
Charmine turned to Anthony and said, âHurry up!â
If McKenzie found out about her, she might cause a scene that would go all the way up to the Bailey mansion.
Anthony remained perfectly calm. âDonât worry, itâs all arranged.â
Anthony then made a gesture at Chris, and the boy then put down the exercise book in his hands and said to Charmine, âMommy, Iâll take care of it while you spend more time with Daddy. You may watch me kick this woman out from upstairs!â 1 With that, he scurried away with his small legs.
Charmine frowned and turned her worried gaze toward Anthony. âAre you sure itâs a good idea to send him off to face her? Heâs only five.â
A woman like McKenzie might do something to Chris!
Anthony turned on all of the computers in the room and reassured, âMs. Jordan, please watch.â His magnetic voice was filled with confidence as if he had a winning hand.
The computer screens displayed all areas and corners of the lobby. Charmineâs frown never left her face. What did he prepare?
Why was he so confident?
In the lobby...
Upon Mckenzieâs arrival, all of the maids bowed at her with respect and greeted, âMs. McKenzie.â
Chris ran out of the room and rushed toward her. âAuntie McKenzie! Youâre finally here!â
McKenzie frowned with suspicion. Chris usually would not bother to talk to her, so why was he so unusually friendly all of a sudden?
Still, Chris was Anthonyâs precious gem, and if she could win the boyâs heart, her chance of marrying Anthony would be much higher. She walked toward him and asked with a gentle voice, âAw, Momo seems happy today! Whereâs your Daddy?â
âDaddy had to go back to his company to sort out something at the last minute. Before he left, he asked m e to spend more time with Auntie McKenzie. He said that Auntie McKenzie might be my future Mommy,â said the seemingly good-mannered Chris.
McKenzieâs eyes glimmered. âYour Daddy really said so?â
âOf course! Daddy also said that it depends on how well we get along together. Heâs not entirely picky with a woman, as long as she can be a good Mommy.â
With that, Chris looked up at McKenzie with his doe-like eyes. âDoes Auntie McKenzie really want to be, m y Mommy? Will Auntie McKenzie treat me like your son? Will Auntie McKenzie play games with Momo?â
âOf course,â McKenzie bent down without hesitation, and she reached out to ruffle his hair. âI was there when your Daddy brought you home, and I like children very much. So yes, of course Iâll treat you nicely.â
âThen will Auntie Mckenzie play games with Momo? Daddy is always busy at his company, and nobody plays with Momo.â Chris tugged McKenzieâs hand gently and gave his best puppy eyes.
McKenzie had never seen Chris like that. Although she did not like the bitchâs son, she had to like Chris since Anthony cared a great deal for this boy. âWhat does Momo want to play?â said McKenzie. âJust tell me, and Iâll play with you.â 2 âYay! Thatâs awesome! Finally someone is willing to play with Momo! Auntie McKenzie, come on here!â Chris dragged McKenzie to the backyard happily.
McKenzie initially thought of pleasing Anthony through this kid, but little did she expect Chris to bring her t o the backyard. In the backyard, there was a huge...
