Chapter 784
Wearing a pair of crystal high heels, Charmine gradually approached the door.
She wore a red chest wrap dress Anthony prepared for her, and it made her look utterly arresting. 1
Just as Charmine was about to stretch her hands to open the door, however, her phone suddenly vibrated. She took it out and saw the caller ID displayed, [Kay].
Answering the call hesitantly, she was suddenly greeted with Kay’s desperate report, "Not good, Boss Jordan. Momo brought Annabel back, and they're both badly injured!"
Charmine’s eyelids suddenly twitched. 'They came back? And they're badly injured? Had they not gone overseas?'
’How can Anthony and I announce our relationship and face the incoming problems without worry? What if Susan and her cohorts spotted Momo and Annabel?'
She immediately hung up the call and texted Anthony, [Momo’s in trouble. Hold on, I’m going to go take care of Momo!]
She then turned to Waverly. "Something urgent came up. My apologies, but I’ll have to trouble you and my husband to take care of the issue at hand," she blurted before running to the secret passageway and ran as fast as she could, not bothering about anything else.
Waverly frowned as she gazed at Charmine's retreating figure.
Meanwhile, Anthony waited outside the door when Luke suddenly brought his phone to him, and on the screen was displayed a message from Charmine.
His brows furrowed at that split second. ’Memo’s in trouble?’
Regardless of how perfect a plan was, there would still be some flaws in it. ■ How did something like that happen?’
At that moment, the huge door slowly opened as Waverly, dressed in a chest wrap gown, came out from it. Though made with a few simple pieces of silk, it was embellished with diamonds.
It was as though Waverly glistened the moment she revealed herself; she looked utterly appealing. 2
Despite that, Anthony did not look at her. He kept his phone and was about to march his way out of the scene, but Waverly walked to his side and reminded him softly, "Charmine wants you to calm yourself and keep the situation under control. She'll take good care of Momo.
"Rest at ease, Mr. Bailey. Regardless of whether or not we get engaged, I’ll never marry you and stand between you and Charmine.
"For now, the situation here is of priority.” 1
Waverly had never offered such a lengthy assurance. She held onto Anthony's arm, and with each step, they slowly walked forward
Anthony's eyes turned dim, deeply in thought.
'Morno is in trouble, and Charmine has left. Am I really going to be engaged with Waverly? This is a very grand ceremony. If everything here is set in stone...1 3
In deep thought, it did not occur to him that they had walked through the aisle from the room and arrived at the long corridor of the scene.
Further ahead was the long corridor filled with fresh flowers where guests filled up the seats on both sides. Everyone spun and gazed at the couple and gave their blessings, looking forward to the event.
Anthony’s footsteps came to a halt at the end of the corridor, and all of a sudden, he dropped Waverly's hand.
His behavior stunned the guests. 'What is Anthony doing?'
Just as dumbfounded, Waverly tilted her head and looked at Anthony. "Mr. Bailey, at most it's only going to last for half an hour," she half-whispered to him. ‘You just need to bear with it a little while more...”
