Chapter 706
"Call me your husband," insisted Anthony.
Charmine's face felt hot. How could she simply call out such a kittenish nickname?
Then again, Anthony would carry her all the way into their residence if she did not call him that.
The garage was merely a few meters away from the villa. She could clearly see a man standing by the door of the villa.
It was Max D'Cruz!
Why was he here?
She did not know that Max was attacking her for Waverly, and she also did not know that Max knew about her relationship with Anthony.
They were doomed if Max took a photo of them.
She quickly pestered, "Stop messing around-put me down!"
"Call me your husband, or I'll carry you around town," Anthony's lips curled up, his voice low as he spoke. It was apparent he was not relenting.
Charmine saw that they were getting closer to Max, and she did not want to be too close to Anthony in front of others. Wincing, she muttered,
"Husband..."
Even though her voice was soft and she was unwilling to, the word was like an arrow stabbing Anthony's chest, almost filling up his entire heart.
He had never heard such a lovely voice, and he had never heard such a lovely word. It was so lovely that he could not wait to turn her into his actual wife! 1
When he saw the man looking for trouble in front of the door, he had to place Charmine down.
Max noted the pair, and he frowned. He knew of their relationship, but he did not expect the high-above Anthony and the fiery tempest Charmine
could be so sweet in private.
However, he did not have time to care about this. The reason he came was for the materials.
He made all his staff use up all resources to find the materials since yesterday, and he finally realized that the materials Charmine used came from two sources.
The first was the top-graded materials from Derby owned by Anthony, and the second was the newly invented materials from a private research association. Even he had no contact with this association.
It must have been Anthony who helped Charmine get in touch with them, no doubt.
If Anthony offered his assistance, his Hundred Birds Project could be saved.
He looked at Anthony. "President Bailey, sorry for coming unannounced. You and I are straightforward people, so I'll just get straight to the point. I need all of the materials you provided for the Divine Bird. Whatever you need, I can provide you in return." 4
His tone was straightforward and generous.
The D'Cruz family was a renowned wealthy family in Kansas; they could naturally afford anything.
He never expected that Anthony would place his arm around Charmine's waist habitually as his lips parted, "Apologies, but my wife is the one controlling all the materials, so I can't give them to you. She has the final say."
His voice was low and full of love.
Max's brows furrowed. Charmine had the final say?
Damn it! Charmine was his enemy, and in work, the Hundred Birds and Divine Birds were also competitors.
Was Anthony implying he wanted him to beg Charmine? To lower his head before Charmine?
Through gritted teeth, he insisted, "President Bailey, you're the person in charge. Even if you and Charmine are actually married, it should be the man having the final say, especially this work stuff. How could you hand it over to a woman? Unless President Bailey is a henpecked husband?"
His last sentence intended to stimulate Anthony.
