Chapter 77
Charmine frowned as she turned her gaze to Chris, who was in her arms. “Momo, what’s wrong? Your dad cleared his day so he can bring you to an amusement park. Why don’t you want to go? As long as you don’t run around madly, you won’t be lost from your dad.”
Chris pitifully sobbed before he muttered, “I don’t… I don’t want to go to the amusement park anymore.” The boy continued to cry again after that.
Charmine was usually apathetic and unconcerned about anyone or anything. However, for reasons unknown, her heart felt like it could break as soon as she saw Chris crying. She hugged Chris even tighter. ” Momo, what happened? You can tell me. I’ll give your dad a stern warning, and I won’t let him bully you.”
The boy sniffled before he replied, “It’s not Daddy… It has nothing to do with Daddy. The reason the teacher organized this family trip was to have a family, with both mom and dad there with us kids, at the amusement park. The other kids will have their moms and dads there. Early this morning, Timmy called me to boast. He said that his mommy got him a bubble machine…!
“Momo doesn’t have a mom. Even if I go to the amusement park, I’ll still get teased. That’s why I don’t want to go! Momo would rather stay at home alone and cry instead of getting teased by the other kids i” Chris said this while crying continuously, and his tears ran endlessly.
In only a short time, Charmine’s shoulders were drenched in tears. Charmine could feel the trembles of Chris’ little body as he continued to cry. ‘He must be so upset,’ she thought.
She turned to Anthony and said, “There are s o many women out there who adore you. I’m sure the great Mr. Bailey would find a woman companion for the trip.”
“I’ve thought about that,” replied Anthony, “but after looking at all their background checks, these women are desperate to just become Mrs. Bailey. If this is their motive, they might use Chris to get to me and do despicable things to him. For Momo’s safety, this isn’t a risk that I’m happy to take.” 1
