Chapter 626
'Yes, and you don't have to feel like you owe me. What happened between President Bailey and I was an accident. Other than this, the time we spent together was less than you did with him. You also know that even if I marry into the Bailey family, how would the Baileys approve of me with who I am? How can I get past McKenzie?
"Instead of being entangled with the Bailey family's internal conflict, why not live a quiet and peaceful life with my parents? Therefore, Ms. Jordan, you and President Bailey should stay together. I fully support you two together." 1
Annabel gazed at Charmine with her doe-like eyes, sincere and encouraging.
Charmine felt that everything was happening too suddenly; everything had changed so suddenly.
Was this the so-called 'things will develop in the opposite direction once they reach the most extreme point'?
Despite what happened, however, Charmine felt like something was off as she looked at Annabel's innocent face. She felt uneasy, restless...
Noticing her doubt, Anthony's hand remained on her waist as he informed Luke, "Arrange for Ms. Annabel to be admitted and prepare for the operation tomorrow."
'Yes, Sir!" Luke went ahead to bring Annabel.
Before Annabel left, she looked at Charmine and gave her a sweet and innocent smile. "Ms. Jordan, don't overthink it. You have to be happy with President Bailey.”
Those words rang in her mind and worsened her anxiety instead of easing it.
Even she did not know where this uneasiness was coming from. 2
The Jordans saw how Anthony held Charmine, and they were relieved. Wisely, they left silently, leaving space for the two.
There were only Anthony and Charmine left in the balcony.
Charmine felt Anthony's large hand gripping her waist tightly, so tight that she was unable to breathe.
'You may let me go now," she blurted. "I'm not silly; you don't have to hold me."
"If you're not silly, would you have done this to threaten me?" Anthony glared at her, his eyes darker than usual.
God knew how worried he was when he received Charmine's call. His usually calmed heart had never raced so rapidly before.
What a woman she was-she gave him the life-or-death experience at 120 beats per second.
Charmine fell silent.
She had no intention of jumping off...
Knowing Anthony, she knew he would not sort it out right away while she was more definite. She did not want to dwell on this for too long.
It was just a matter of breaking up. Why drag it out for so long?
Charmine planned on forcing him to marry Annabel or pretend to jump off the building and fake her death. This was for Anthony to think that she was dead, and she could leave the country then.
However, she did not have to tell him everything now. The problem she was considering was... 1
Suddenly, Anthony hardened his pinch around her waist. She felt a sharp pain coming from her waist.
He glared at her. "Charmine, stop overthinking it. Once Annabel leaves the country to take care of the baby, we can get married peacefully."
Charmine was stumped.
Get married?
