Chapter 745
"I’m aware that this is just an effect. Furthermore, I’m a hypnotist. I was once invited to calm down an agitated female lion, and I was dangerously close to her-we were only ten centimeters apart with no protection. Glass is separating US from the shark. What's there to be scared of?" stated Waverly.
Anthony's eyes darkened. She seemed meek and docile, but Waverly had such courage in her after all? She seemed to be different from the other women.
Was Charmine’s suspicion on Waverly necessary?
However, he would not spend too much time on another woman and shrugged off all thoughts of Waverly seconds later.
The shark swam away shortly after, and the restaurant felt calm once more.
Both Anthony and Waverly remained respectful to one another throughout the meal, and as they finished, Waverly looped her arm around Anthony's as they left.
To stay out of Waverly's sight, Charmine lowered her head and used her arm to cover one side of her face.
The sight of their linked arms did not conjure jealousy within Charmine. After all, Anthony had steel clasping his arm. Waverly must have felt unsettled as she felt the cold steel instead of Anthony's actual arm.
Her husband did a splendid job, a wonderful feat indeed!
Passing by their table, Anthony nonchalantly glanced at the dishes and noted she had only eaten the steak he ordered whilst the Full Moon dish remained untouched.
His thin lips curled up. She was his woman, perceptive indeed. He felt proud of her.
Sighing in relief after Anthony and Waverly left, she then straightened herself.
She should not take the risk next time-she should not doubt Anthony again.
As for Waverly, well... She should find another way to check on her.
Charmine was searching for a plan when she noted Alexander taking all of the dishes in front of him and started eating slowly.
She frowned. "What are you doing?"
"Are you crazy? Anthony's mother must've arranged for someone to watch over them. Won't we expose ourselves if they saw US in here and left without finishing our meal?" Alexander spoke as he put food into his mouth.
Assessing Alexander's reasoning, it did seem to make sense. They would raise suspicion had they not done so.
She did not protest.
The portion originally made for two, at the end of the meal, was all eaten by Alexander who grimaced at being too full.
Not wanting to owe him anything, she said calmly, "You don't have to keep eating; leaving some is okay."
"Oh, you care about me, Charmine?" Alexander winked at her.
Charmine instantly rolled her eyes at him. "You continue eating. Finish them all!"
Alexander was speechless.
He spoke too much.
By then, Anthony and Waverly had already left the restaurant, and Luke was on his way to fetch them both.
Hidden in the dark, Susan watched on as her eyes were filled with excitement.
