Chapter 311 âI have to go out. Sleep early, and donât wait for me,â said Charmine to Chris and Anthony who were on the sofa.
âI want to go with Mommy!â Chris stood up instantly.
Anthony, too, looked at her. âWhere are you headed to? Iâll drive you there.â
Both of them showed their concern, and it was apparent that they cared for her.
Charmine felt warmth that blossomed at her chest. âNo need. Iâm just looking for someone, and someoneâs outside waiting to take photos of us.â
If it was just Charmine that was taken photos of, she could still claim that she visited the Baileys for a meeting. Things would only get messier if both her and Anthony were seen together.
âDonât worry,â assured Anthony, âI have my ways.â
Anthony then turned to Chris. âGo to bed and wait for us to come home. Itâs raining tonight, so you canât g o out.â
âItâs raining tonightâ was emphasized strongly. Chrisâ eyes darted as he suddenly understood what his father meant It was the perfect time for both of them to improve their relationship as it rained. Daddy and Mommy would be able to get along well if he stayed behind!
Chris nodded hastily. âAlrighty! Momo can stay home. Daddy has to protect Mommy, help Mommy find her friend, and then bring Mommy home.â
âHmph.â Anthony ruffled his hair before he turned to Charmine. âFollow me,â he spoke.
Anthony walked away from the main entrance and Charmine, left without a choice, could only follow him.
They walked through a hallway and stopped in front of a lift, seemingly much larger than the rest. Anthony pressed on the call button and the door gradually opened.
The space in the lift was at least 30 square meters wide. Furthermore, a matte black luxury car rested inside the lift, and the icy walls of the lift made the luxury car look polished and perfectly developed. 1.
Anthony opened the door to the passenger seat for Charmine, just like the gentleman he always was, but Charmine walked into the car without noticing much. She did not realize how her relationship with Anthony had changed completely. She used to always keep her distance with him inside the car, yet somehow, they seemed much like husband-and-wife for the past few days.
Anthony looked at her lovingly before taking his driverâs seat. As the car doors shut, the liftâs door closed automatically. The lift sank lower to the basement.
