Chapter 338 âThe plain-in-sight troubles can be easily solved, but the anonymous threats are the hardest to fight with. You canât take this risk!
Donât be foolish!â
The four elderly men tried to talk Charmine out of her decision.
The adamant Charmine merely offered a small smile. âDonât worry. However foolish I may be, Iâll still be able to protect myself.
Even if I canât, I still have you all, as well as Kay and his men!â
It was apparent, with what she said, that she chose Anthony.
âCharmine Jordan!â Uncle Pop called out her full name with a serious tone.
âAlright, alright,â ushered Charmine, âI know what Iâm doing. Itâs getting late, though. Iâm only twenty-three, and Iâm not getting married till Iâm at least thirty! Itâs getting late; go and get some rest. There are guest rooms upstairs.â
âCharmine, we need to talk to youââUncle Larry wanted to continue.
Charmine looked at the time and said, âItâs already one in the morning. How am I supposed to fight Uji Quin later on if this prolongs? If I donât get enough sleep, Iâll lose the match and will hate myself for it. I wonât have the heart to prepare for the Go match, and no heart for the research...â
âHey, hey, hey! Alright, alright! Weâll stop talking! Go and get your sleep. Weâre not in a hurry!â
âDo think about your relationship wisely! Do consider! Carefully consider it!â
âGo, go, go. Goodnight!â
The four elderly men stood up and ran out of the computer room as each of them found themselves a guest room.
Charmine smiled helplessly at their retreating forms. She would have pulled that trick earlier had she known it would have worked wonders, instead of letting them go on and on...
She went back to her bedroom and laid down on her bed when she felt a cold prick on her neck. Charmine brought her hand up, only to feel the necklace on her neck given by Anthony. She remembered how she tried to get rid of it, but she gradually forgot about it and unconsciously wore it ever since...
She hesitated to continue with Anthony, but upon listening to what her Uncles had to say about him, it was like a wave of relief that washed over her. No wonder Anthony acted strangely when the topic of Chrisâ mother was brought up. Such a big man, bedded by another woman? Who would be able to say that out loud without feeling embarrassed?
Since Anthony was bedded by another woman before, Charmine saw them as equal. Nothing made her fret anymore.
She and Anthony-equal!
The thought of it brought a smile to her face as her eyelids gradually closed.
Charmine had the best sleep she ever had for a very long time.
Morning came, and Charmineâs phone rang at the bedside. It was a video call from Chris.
Charmine sat up and answered the call. Instantly, she could see Chrisâ adorable, round face as he waved at her happily.
âMommy, Mommy, I saw the news! Youâre the person in the news, right?â
âHuh? What news?â Charmine was confused.
Chris continued , âLord of Honors! Someone deposited a billion bucks to challenge Uji Quin, and everyoneâs making guesses on who it is. Daddy and I both agreed that this is something Mommy would do! Itâs Mommy, isnât it?â gushed Chris as he blinked with his adorable doe eyes, just like a curious Teletubby.
Charmine frowned. How fast did that spiral to the news? Should she tell Chris? If she told him
