Chapter 560 âActing for Grandpa? So youâd marry someone just to lessen Grandpaâs worries?â
His magnetic voice was filled with displeasure and jealousy.
The thought of her actually keeping the document made Anthonyâs gaze sharper than ever. 1 His large hand tightened around Charmineâs waist, pulling her closer as he spoke.
Charmine was so close to him that her lips could graze Anthonyâs chin if she was to raise her chin.
Uneasily, she tried to get out. âLet go of me first, and Iâll show you the document. Youâll know why I looked at it for so long...â
âYou even want to make me help you look for a husband? Wow, Charmine, youâve got guts.â
Anthonyâs eyes darkened. Suddenly, he grabbed Charmineâs chin.
Charmineâs heartbeat fastened. âWhatâre you doingâmmph!â
Before she could finish her sentence, Anthony lowered his head abruptly and kissed her lips roughly.
Charmine wanted to struggle, but just as she moved, her back landed on the wardrobe wall, pushed up by Anthony.
In that narrowed space, Charmine had no chance of moving or getting away. She was like a little sheep waiting to be slaughtered as he âtaught her a lessonâ.
Anthony only released her lips when Charmine was close to running out of breath. He grabbed her chin and looked at her lips swollen from their fiery kiss. âRemember, Charmine: Youâre mine. Donât ever think of marrying someone else. Youâre not allowed to go on a blind date.â
He warned her in his low and demanding voice.
Charmine was still gasping for fresh air when she heard his words.
She was the Boss Jordan! This man dared to threaten her?
She looked up at him with an unfriendly look. âI didnât go on any blind dates, and weâre not married nor engaged. How could you be soââ
âIt seems that Ms. Jordan would like us to get engaged and married, yes? Excellent, letâs get registered tonight.â 3 As Anthony spoke, he pushed open the wardrobe door and carried her in his arms.
Charmine was hung on his shoulder, her head buzzing while Anthony walked determinedly out.
It was apparent that Anthony would do what he said!
Instantly, Charmine blurted, âI was joking with you! Put me down. I promise you I wonât look at the document; I wonât go on any blind dates.â
âMs. Jordanâs hint was very clear just now. Weâve known each other for too long, and itâs time to get our marriage certificate.â
Anthony did not stop walking. By then, they were merely two meters away from the bedroom door.
Charmineâs eyelids twitched. The entire Jordan family would know that Anthony was in her bedroom if he were to walk out, and at night no less!
She said hastily, âAnthony, you havenât fixed the matters with Annabel! How can you marry me like that? Do you even respect me?â 1 Anthony finally stopped walking, and he frowned. âSo youâll marry me once Iâve settled everything with Annabel?â
âOf course.â Charmineâs tone was determined.
She said so just to stop him from walking out; they would have more time to talk things through next time.
Furthermore, Charmine felt that the matters with Annabel were not so easily fixed.
Hearing so, Anthony put her down on the floor and gazed into her eyes with his own dark orbs. âBe ready then, Charmine. Give me half a month, maximum.â
His tone was steady and confident.
Charmine frowned. Half a month, maximum?
Was he implying that he could fix the mess with Annabel within half a month, and would marry her then? 1 How was he that sure?
