Chapter 298: Chapter 301

Chapter 301 It was only after Charmine left the company did she realize her vehicle was towed away for repair, and it would take at least a few days.

Just as Charmine took out her phone to call for a taxi, a private car pulled over in front of her as the door slid open.

She was greeted with the sight of a giddy Chris in the car as he waved her over. “Mommy! Come on in, come on in!”

There they were, both Anthony and Chris, sitting at the backseats!

Charmine’s lips tightened. They came to pick her up...? Did they know her vehicle was towed away?

Charmine cautiously monitored her surroundings and made sure no one was around before she got into the car, but she noted their positions right after. Chris sat by the window, thus that left Anthony who sat in the middle. In other words, Charmine would have to sit next to Anthony...

Chris picked up Charmine’s suspicious and wary gaze before he quickly, yet sheepishly, explained, “I’m sorry, Mommy. I’m having motion sickness right now, so I gotta take the seat next to the window.”

His reply astounded Charmine.

Cough! Cough!

She had known Chris long enough to know that the boy would not get motion sickness from car rides. Furthermore, the luxury car had a panoramic window with good ventilation. How was it possible to get motion sickness on this car? 1 As composed as he usually was, Anthony asked with concern, “Is everything sorted out?”

“Mhm. With your help, it’s impossible for it to not be resolved,” praised Charmine, a rare occurrence that hardly happened before.

Chris clapped with his little hands. “Wow! Daddy is awesome! Daddy is so awesome! Mommy, did you prepare any gift for Daddy?”

Charmine frowned. She had it in mind to find a suitable gift for him when they suddenly came and picked her up. Her eyes darted as she asked, “What about five percent share of the Gray Diamond Empire as a gesture of gratitude? Would that be alright?”

“Apologies, I never liked material things. Also, you don’t have to thank me. It’s nothing,” replied Anthony ‘Nothing’?

He asked hundreds of his staff to work overtime and even made a retired-pregnant vice-president do him a favor. How were those ‘nothing’?

Charmine looked at him. “Anthony, as you know, I’ never liked to owe people. Since you’ve helped me, I must thank you. Tell me what you want, anything!” a Her words were determined and straightforward.

“Are you sure?” Anthony asked.

Charmine made a small sound of reply. The more favors she owed him, the more uneasy she would feel. Returning him some favors would do more good than harm.

Still, never in a million years would Charmine expect Anthony’s blunt, not-beating-around-the-bush reply.” I’d like Ms. Jordan to marry me.”

– Cough! Cough... Cough! Cough! Marry him?!

*Anthony Bailey,” gasped Charmine, “you’re being unreasonable!”

“But didn’t you say I can ask for anything?” countered Anthony, his deep voice sounded serious yet innocent altogether.

“Mommy, didn’t you teach me not to lie?” Chris chimed in. “You have to keep your word!”

Charmine let out a dry cough before she scrambled to explain, “It’s not that I don’t keep my words, it’s just that... It’s just... What I meant was for him to ask for anything within my power, excluding such an important matter!”

“Oh?” Anthony frowned, but after a moment of deep thought, he asked, “What about a kiss for three seconds? That’s not something too much, I hope?”

Cough! Cough!

Kiss...?

Charmine intended to call him out as a pervert, but Chris commented, “That’s too easy! Daddy and Mommy kissing is a normal thing! And it’s only for three second! Mommy, you can’t refuse this time!”

Charmine was flabbergasted.

If she was to refuse again, it would create a negative impression on Chris...

Whatever! He only asked for three seconds anyway, and it was not like they had never kissed before.

Charmine hooked her arms around Anthony’s neck and leaned forward. She lowered her head and kissed on his lips.
