Chapter 266
“Five years ago, I was —”
“Mommy! Mommy!”
Before Charmine could finish, a small figure barged into the room. With a bowl of green soup a t hand, Chris ran toward her and handed it to her. “Mommy, this is a soup that Daddy asked them to make for you. It’s a secret recipe, and you won’t have any headache after drinking this.”
“Thank you, Little Momo.” Charmine went soft for Chris as she pinched his cheek. Once she accepted the bowl, she slurped the soup without hesitation.
Charmine then returned the bowl to Chris. “Mommy and Daddy have things to talk about. Why don’t you go play downstairs first? Mommy will come find you later.”
Charmine made up her mind; Anthony would be told everything.
Unexpectedly, Chris replied, “Grandpa and Grandma called me earlier, saying that they’re arriving here in half an hour.” Anthony had told Chris to stay downstairs, and if it was not because of the call, the boy would have stayed downstairs.
Charmine’s brows furrowed. “What did you say? Your Grandpa and Grandma are coming?”
“Yeah, Grandpa and Grandma said they want to discuss the birthday dinner with Daddy. It seemed quite urgent,” Chris answered honestly.
Charmine immediately got out of the bed and turned to Anthony. “T’ll go back to the Violet Villa” she affirmed, “so we can talk later.”
She could not let the Baileys know about her relationship with Anthony. Since she would leave after two months, there was no need to add more troubles to her plate.
Anthony noted Charmine’s worry, thus he did not insist. “Drive safe,” he simply told her.
“Okay.”
As Charmine was about to leave, she recalled Chris’ confession days ago. She knelt before the boy and held his shoulders warmly. “Momo can go to the gym and exercise when they come. You don’t have to see Grandpa and Grandma.”
“Huh? Why?” Chris frowned. His dad and teachers taught him to be polite and to never run away from problems.
