chapter 1801
One of Anthony’s hands pillowed Charmine's head while the other rested behind his head. His gaze was filled with adoration as he looked at the woman on his chest.
He felt emotional.
They had gone through hell and back, and he almost thought he would lose her forever. With them finally reunited, it was as if he had her again for the first time.
Furthermore, they would finally be able to be seen in public.
If the incident was what he speculated, it would be even more apparent that the two of them were meant to be.
However...
Looking at the bright sky outside, he frowned.
Why was the sky not turning any darker? He was waiting for their first night sleeping together.
With that, Anthony fell asleep with anticipation.
In the evening, Grandma Bailey came over to knock on their door and said gently, "Charmine, Anthony, wake up. Let's have dinner."
This aroused Charmine from her slumber as she replied, all while she started getting out of bed and freshening up, "Alright!"
As she answered, she was already out of bed and started freshening up.
Gazing at Charmine's back, this was the first time Anthony hated dinner so much.
What was the point of dinner when he could watch her all day?
This was the first time Charmine had dinner at the Bailey Mansion. Various kinds of dishes were laid on the high-end long dining table.
Grandma Bailey put a lot of food on Charmine's plate as a friendly gesture. She said, "Charmine, this is your home from now on. Don't be so polite; think of this place as your home. Relax." 'That's right," added Senior Bailey gently, "we're a family now.”
Charmine nodded. 'Thank you, Grandpa, Grandma."
Susan and Darryl happened to join the dinner, too, instead of going to Susan's house.
Grandma Bailey glared at Susan meaningfully.
Despite her distaste toward Charmine, Grandma Bailey's pressuring gaze made her put food into Charmine's plate politely. "Eat more," she spoke monotonously.
Charmine answered coldly, 'Thank you."
Eyeing the fish on Charmine’s plate, Anthony took it onto his own plate and carefully picked out the bones before giving it back to her. This earned a smile from Charmine.
Everyone seemed to like Charmine, and this formed a contrast to Annabel, who sat by the furthest end.
Annabel did not say anything. She even moved the dishes in front of her closer to Charmine, then saying understandingly, though tinged with fear," Ms. Jordan, you've lost weight in the past two days. Have some more."
Charmine looked at her and said, 'You should be the one eating more. You look very frail now." "Okay." Annabel nodded and smiled weakly. "Thank you for caring. I know I should eat more for the sake of the baby.
Charmine felt somewhat uncomfortable with that. She always sensed that Annabel was using the baby to exclude her. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
However, looking at how innocent and harmless she looked, Charmine felt that she was overthinking.
It was as if everyone was only reminded of Annabel's existence after hearing Charmine talking to Annabel.
Grandma Bailey also scooped some food for her. "Annabel, Charmine is right. You should eat more, and don’t starve my great-grandson." "Okay, thank you, Grandma."
Annabel instantly started eating diligently.
After dinner, Charmine and Anthony accompanied Grandma Bailey to eat fruits in the living room. However, a few minutes later, Grandma Bailey asked the two of them to get some rest in the room.
'You two must be worn out. Go and get some rest; I'll let my old man accompany me."
Anthony remained unperturbed as he stood up. With a hand around Charmine, he remarked, "My darling, let's not disturb Grandma."
Charmine was speechless.
"Then we'll head off to rest now, Grandma," responded Charmine. "You, too, must rest early." "Alright, go on."
Anthony and Charmine went back to their room. The moment the door was shut, he pushed her against the door and started peppering kisses onto Charmine like raindrops.
