Chapter 657
Charmine looked into the ward through the window and saw how Anthony handed Annabel the bowl of soup. Noticing there were no tissues around Annabel, Anthony took some tissues for her.
It was as though a responsible husband was taking care of his pregnant wife.
Charmine, who stood outside the window, looked like an extra.
Noticing Charmine's distant gaze, Waverly comforted, "Mr. Bailey really loves you; you don’t have to be too concerned. He's just a special friend of Annabel's, that's all." 2
Waverly's out-of-the-blue comment brought her out of her thoughts. She looked at Waverly who was beside her, and that strong sense of familiarity was awakened again, along with an obvious feeling of despise.
It felt as if standing next to Waverly disconcerted her every cell.
"Have we met before, Ms. D'Cruz?" blurted Charmine.
Right after she asked, Waverly's eyes showed a glint of panic.
However, it merely lasted for 0.01 second, so quick that it was almost unnoticeable. The panic quickly vanished. 1
She met Charmine's eyes gracefully. "Really? Why did Ms. Jordan ask? I think we've never met before."
Never met before?
Where did this sense of familiarity come from?
Charmine looked into her, trying to find the answer from her.
Waverly merely looked at her unperturbed as she said gracefully, "I've been taken care of by our family nanny since birth, home-schooled since young by top tutors. Furthermore, I'm the only daughter of the D’Cruz family.
They’d do anything for me and never let me make any public appearance. This is my first time visiting Burlington, accompanying my brother to see the outside world."
Waverly's voice was clean and pure, as if she was an untainted white snowflake without a trace of impurity nor dishonesty.
Furthermore, she sounded rather proud when she mentioned her family.
