Chapter 77: Chapter 78

Chapter 78 All of a sudden, Chris—who writhed and twitched on the ground mere seconds ago—sprung up in joy as he cheered, “Hooray!”

H e then jumped right back into Charmine’s arms.

Charmine was speechless. ‘How did he recover so quickly? This... This feels like another trap!’

The moment Chris noticed the shift in Charmine’s mood, he stretched his chubby hands to hug her neck. “Mommy, Uncle Nial said that my twitching is psychological,” he quickly spoke, “so if I take some medication, I’ll get better bit by bit. You promised me, so you can’t break your promise now. You’re coming to the amusement park with Momo! Adults can’t break their promises, and they can’t teach little kids to lie.”

What else could Charmine say? She could only lightly pinch Chris’ chubby cheeks and responded, “You cheeky little devil, you.

Relax! I promised you, so I’ll see through that promise and go with you. However, in the future, you need to work hard so that you’ll be a tough kid. You’re tough as nails! You’re not going to be beaten by a psychological sickness.”

“Okay! I’ll listen to Mommy!” Chris exclaimed while smiling at Charmine sweetly.

A short distance away, Nial was in awe at the event that unfolded. He could not believe their plan worked. They managed to trick Charmine into going to the amusement park with them!

All this while, his older brother knew how to woo the opposite gender after all. For the past 28 years, he was merely holding back and waited for someone like Charmine before unleashing his true potential!

Nial hurried back to the driver’s seat like a good wingman. Anthony opened the door for Charmine like a gentleman, saying, “Please, Ms. Jordan.”

Charmine carried Chris into the car and sat i n the back seat. She was about to tell Anthony to sit at the front seat, but she instantly noticed the tall stack of papers. Her words were instantly lodged at her throat.

Nevermind. At least Chris was between them.

Charmine put on her seatbelt then moved on to do the same for Chris. As she did so, she reminded him, “Momo needs to be a rule-abiding citizen who values life. Every time you’re in the car, remember to put on your seatbelt. This is a rule that everyone needs to follow.” Her tone made it sound like she thought very little of people who did not wear their seatbelts.

Anthony silently put on his seatbelt, and even Nial in the driver’s seat buckled his seatbelt without making a noise. The car started to move slowly, heading toward the children’s amusement park.

At this moment, Charmine suddenly noticed the trashcan in the car that had a heap of red flowers. She asked curiously, “Why are there so many flowers in here?” The atmosphere i n the car became filled with nervous energy i n an instance. 1 Charmine was met with simultaneous answers: “Our working partners sent them.” “One of my admirers sent them.” “The school sent them.”

All three Baileys—Anthony, Nial, and Chris —responded respectively, and Charmine was bewildered. Whose flowers were these? I t was just a simple question asked by Charmine, yet why did the air shift into awkwardness?

Anthony instantly changed the topic as he said, “That’s not important. You should have a look at this; we bought it especially for you. See if you like it.” Anthony retrieved an item and handed it to Charmine.

Charmine received it and saw that it was a mask. It was no ordinary mask, too... It was a Peppa Pig character mask! “You bought this for me?” she blurted in surprise. What was going on in Anthony’s brain? Was this a new method to woo women?
