Warning My Mommy is A Savage

Chapter 107

As he expected, as soon as Chris left the room, Charmine spun around and looked at him with a stern expression. “Anthony. Don’t act improperly with me in the future, especially in front of the child. He’s still little and underaged!”

“Huh? Act improperly? When did that happen?” Anthony’s expression was one of pure confusion.

Charmine was speechless. ‘Am I overthinking the situation? This man’s acting skill are pretty impressive,’ Charmine thought to herself.

“In that case, let’s talk about the real issue. From today onward, don’t come looking for me with Chris,” Charmine told him.

Anthony’s hand that was holding the fork twitched slightly, the warm expression on his face gradually turning cold.

Charmine continued despite the change in his mood, “You’re well aware that nothing can ever happen between us. Momo needs to get accustomed to life without me. Short-term pain is better than one that is long and drawn out. As his father, you should help him get over his attachment to me. Otherwise, he’ll be crushed when the day comes.”

Anthony scowled and put down his fork, gazing intently at her as he said, “I don’t know what gave you the wrong idea. Why d o you think we won’t work out? What is it about me that you

don’t like? You can be honest.” His demeanor was extremely serious, his gaze piercing.

Charmine’s heart did a tiny somersault before she remembered what happened five years ago. She remembered her situation.

Hiding from his gaze, she responded indifferently, “I don’t like guys who pursue women. It’s unbecoming. I’m attracted t o men who seem out of reach and don’t like me. I get the sense of challenge. However, I also believe in love at first sight. To put it simply, the first time I met you, I didn’t have a good impression of you. I also didn’t develop any feelings for you. Love is something that can’t be forced.” 13 All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Anthony suddenly stood up and leaned in, moving closer to her. Charmine saw his face edging closer to hers as her heart started to beat faster as if it had a mind of its own. She tried hard to maintain her composure and asked, “What are you doing?”

Anthony grabbed her wrist with one hand, the other cradling her chin. His lips kept drawing closer and closer. Being held by him, Charmine could not even retreat or lean back. In the blink of an eye, his face was right in front of her, hovering so closely that the tips of their noses were close enough to touch.

Breathing in, she was surrounded by the potency of Anthony’s refreshing musky scent. If she leaned forward just a tiny fraction, their lips would meet… Her heart pounded swiftly, like a deer running from danger. It almost felt like her heart

was going to leap out of her chest.

Anthony gazed at her, his lips beginning to move closer. Charmine quickly turned her head, avoiding his kiss. However, his cool lips missed her cheek and landed near her earlobe. At that moment, Charmine felt her whole body turn numb.

Anthony’s thin lips curved up as he whispered into her ear, “A typical woman’s pulse ranges between sixty to a hundred beats per minute. In the last 30 seconds, your heart beat fifty five times. Are you sure you don’t have any feelings for me? Hmm?”,

Whilst saying that, the hand wrapped around Charmine’s wrist gripped tighter. Charmine’s body stiffened. So this was the reason he had grabbed her wrist and edged closer to her? T o measure her

heartbeat? He was such a meticulous guy.

She snatched her hand away from his while trying to keep her cool. She retorted, “Has no one told you before that it’s normal for your heart rate to vary. For example, if the temperature is too hot or too cold. It can also increase in speed when your body is digesting food. I told you I don’t have feelings for you, so that means I really don’t have feelings for you. In the future, except for official business, please don’t come looking for me anymore.” Her tone was full of indifference and apathy, completely devoid of all emotion.

Anthony felt the sensation of a sharp blade slicing across his heart for the first time. It was a moment before he said with a quiet calmness, “Okay, I’ll do as you wish.”

With perfect timing, Chris returned with the juice and walked into the kitchen. Anthony took the juice and placed it on the counter before stretching his arms toward Chris. “Come on, we’re going home.”

“Oh, but Momo hasn’t had any of the steaks yet…” Chris said, his face filled with disappointment.

Anthony comforted him, stroking his head gently. “Be a good boy, I’ll make some more for you next time. We’re not going t o bother mommy today, okay?”

“Okay.” Chris pouted, turning toward Charmine as he waved.“ Goodbye mommy, Make sure you eat until you’re super full.”

Somehow, Charmine got a sore feeling in her throat. It felt like her throat was catching and it took a while before she could squeeze out a word.
