Chapter 1723
Charmine stared at Anthony dubiously. "Are you taking me as a three-year-old?"
Was she not taking good care of herself?
"I'm just worried you’ll end up neglecting your wellbeing in your busy schedule, is all," replied Anthony.
Charmine glanced at him coldly. "You're thinking too much. As you can see now, I'll take good care of myself."
Anthony nodded. 'That’s good."
He looked all the more strange as Charmine stared at him. Apart from his behavior, she could see he had a lot of things in mind.
What happened to him?
Instantly, Charmine was reminded of their status. She asked him nothing else and continued eating in silence.
After dinner, Anthony took the initiative to clean and wash the dishes.
Charmine brought Chris to enjoy the night breeze and moon at the pavilion. After a moment, she asked, unable to refrain herself, "Dear, did anything happen to your father this afternoon?”
Chris' eyes narrowed at the question and instantly recalled how pained Anthony looked when he was inside the room.
A twinge of sadness flashed across Chris’ eyes, but as he recalled that Anthony had told him not to tell Charmine, he replied, "Nothing happened. Daddy was working all afternoon while I played with Chloe."
"Oh." Charmine turned around.
Seeing Anthony's tall figure standing in the kitchen, he looked just fine.
Charmine pursed her lips. Was she over-analyzing things?
Probably.
Charmine did not dwell on this matter as she entertained Chris for a while before returning to the room.
After shower, she chatted with Adam about the progress before she felt tiredness looming over her. Knowing she had to wake up early the next morning to help out at the site, she laid in bed and fell asleep not long after.
The night darkened.
The lamp remained lit inside Anthony’s room.
Under the soft moonlight, his tall figure stood before the wooden door as his implacable gaze fixed itself at the bamboo house where Charmine resided. Deep longingness whirled in his pupils. 1
Anthony had no idea when he would see her again.
