Chapter 669
Luke was already busy with finding potential suitors apart from being nosedeep in company-related tasks, yet he had to check on Charmine all of a sudden?
Charmine’s bank card was under special protection; even he had no way of checking on it.
The surveillance cameras inside the hospital did not show up anything strange, but Luke could vaguely feel that something had been cut out.
Finally, Luke detected footage of the car park downstairs. Through the camera of one of the cars, he spotted Charmine at last.
The clip was very short: it only showed Charmine coming downstairs and tossing the tea in the bin. The car then turned away abruptly. The rest was not recorded.
Since the recording was as short as three seconds, Kay and his men missed this segment out and did not delete it.
When Anthony saw the clip Luke sent him, he frowned.
The night had fallen.
It was past ten, and Anthony was not home yet. Charmine was putting Chris to sleep as she patted his back, all while she thought of Anthony.
Was he still taking care of Annabel?
Even though she knew that he was doing this for Chris, even though she knew that he did not love Annabel, her heart was not at ease.
Her man was taking care of Annabel, and that same woman was conceiving their child... 1
Had it been any other woman he was caring for, she would have broken up with Anthony, yet Charmine was still holding on, still suffering...
How long would she and Anthony withstand the test of time?
At that moment... Click!
The door was opened, followed by footsteps coming in from the outside.
Chris instantly jumped up from the bed. "Mommy, Daddy's home! Don't cry; you don’t have to miss him anymore!”
Charmine was baffled.
Since when did she cry thinking of Anthony?
While Charmine was still bewildered, Anthony already walked up to the bedroom door.
Chris said to Anthony, "Daddy, hurry up and comfort Mommy. Mommy misses you so much that she cried. Her eyes even turned red!” 1
Chris got out of bed and walked over to pull Anthony into the room.
Charmine’s cheeks felt like they burned. That naughty kid...! Since when did she cry thinking of Anthony?
Before she could explain herself, Anthony had already sat down by the bed.
He took out a brocade box and handed it to her. "Open it."
The box was square-shaped and tall, delicate to the eye.
Charmine frowned. What day was it? Why did he bring her a gift?
Did Anthony really think she was missing him and crying at home, and that was why he bought her a gift? To make up for it?
"No, I didn’t," said Charmine, "Momo just-’’
"Have a look first," Anthony cut her off, seemingly anticipating her reaction.
Charmine thus opened the brocade box under his gaze.
