Chapter 744
Charmine's face flushed red. Call him her husband?
She called him that not long ago. Was there such a need to repeat it?
"Stop fooling around! If they find US here, all our efforts would be wasted. All of the pretense of you with Waverly will be ruined."
"Keep stalling and they'll find US here," warned Anthony.
That startled Charmine.
Was he threatening her?
It seemed as though he would not let her go unless she called him her' husband'.
True, someone would find them in the cubicle if they stalled even longer.
She had no choice but to sheepishly mutter, "Husband...” 1
She sounded abashed, shy even as she uttered the nickname, a stark contrast to her usual cold, scathing way of speaking.
Unsettled at the way she called Anthony that, Charmine's cheeks burned red as she pushed him away. "Get out!"
Anthony's lips curled up with satisfaction. How he wanted to take her right then and there after listening to her voice.
Furthermore, she sounded like a small and shy woman, far different from her usually cold disposition. It was utterly endearing. 1
With that, he reached out to ruffle her hair. "Be good, and stay away from Alexander. Don’t make me angry again." 1
After saying that, he left.
Charmine’s heart skipped a beat after he ruffled her hair.
Had he cast a spell on her?
She came here to check on him and Waverly, but she ended up getting together with him...
In order to be less suspicious, she only left the washroom approximately five minutes after he did.
She noted that Alexander had started eating when she returned to the table, noticing that there was an extra dish by the corner of the table.
It was a half-cut heart-shaped steak, delicately presented. One could tell right away that the other half was taken away.
Alexander explained, "The serving staff brought this in. She said there's a promotion going on, and they’re giving out a complimentary Heart to Heart dish."
Heart to Heart? Complimentary?
Impossible... Charmine turned to look in Anthony's direction.
She saw that Anthony was having steak as well, and he was having the same dish.
Seemingly sensing her gaze, he looked up at her and raised his wine glass. He was obviously inviting her...
Her heartbeat fastened.
When he was having a couple’s set with Waverly and Charmine was with Alexander, Anthony ordered an extra dish to share with her?
This was too obvious. They were done for if anyone found out. 2
Charmine hastily lowered her head to eat-she dared not look at Anthony for any longer.
Once they reached the minimum seating time, she would leave right away!
Diagonally opposite to her...
Waverly was facing Anthony, her voice gentle and therapeutic as she began, "Annabel's situation has gotten better in the past two days, but it’s best if you spend more time visiting her. She's conceiving your child, after all.”
