Chapter 815
He agreed to meet Charmine at night.
"Grandma-" began Anthony when Grandma Bailey suddenly started coughing.
She patted her chest as she struggled to say, "Cough, cough...! Anthony, let's keep things like this. Cough, cough! If you don't want Grandma to get ill, listen to Grandma's arrangement..." 3
Grandma Bailey's health had not been at its best as of late. As she must not be upset, Anthony had no choice but to obey her.
After the meal, he brought Waverly to a secluded pavilion. While it might seem like they both admired the view, the truth was that Anthony was eyeing his surroundings and, upon confirming no one was around, questioned Waverly, "What did you say to Grandma? Why would she make such a decision?"
Grandma Bailey still looked alright in the morning, but she kept on pulling Waverly out for a talk. Until the afternoon. Grandma Bailey and Susan started adding onto one another.
Waverly met his gaze without guilt. "Grandma merely asked me some questions. She wanted US to get married and make babies soon. I was merely thinking on your behalf and looked for ways to postpone it."
Mentioning that, she sounded guilty, "Perhaps it was the postponing that made Grandma feel insecure. But rest assured, I'd rather sleep on the floor than do anything foolish."
Anthony stared at her genuine eyes, and his thin lips parted, "You better know what you're doing. Don’t you ever expect something you shouldn’t be expecting." He then turned to the side, away from her. 1
Waverly's eyes glinted. She had been thinking about him, and yet he still doubted her?
Anthony did not care about her anymore. He took out his phone and texted Charmine,
[Stay with Momo tonight, I need to take care of things with Grandma here.]
Charmine was sorting out some matters at work. When she received the text from Anthony, her brows furrowed.
'Take care of things with Grandma'?
[So you can't come home tonight?] questioned Charmine.
Anthony then replied, [Yes. Don't worry, I know my boundary.]
After hesitating for a moment, she replied, [I trust you.]
She trusted her man.
Just as Charmine was about to turn off her phone, she chanced upon a post of his. Half an hour ago, he actually posted a photo taken during lunch. The six of them sat together, and it was a lovely family portrait.
The caption read, [Looking forward to having three meals per day with you, spending all four seasons with you till we grow old.] 1
Charmine frowned. Why would Anthony post such a thing?
No doubt, it must have been Grandma Bailey or Susan using Anthony's phone to post it.
They would even do such a thing over lunch, and Charmine wondered if they would go to extremes.
