chapter 1805
Anthony dared not to take this risk.
Anthony put down the wine glass and looked at Nial darkly. "Any word about this gets leaked, and I'll end you."
Nial was so scared that cold sweat perspired on his back. "I won’t expose it, I promise! Come, let's drink...!"
He sat by Anthony's side and drank with him. Anthony, on the other hand, said nothing else and started downing his drinks.
Nial was terrified to see how cautious Anthony looked.
This issue was nowhere detrimental, yet the usually powerful and decisive Anthony treated it with so much caution?
Nial's choice of staying single had preserved himself, for sure. He did not want to be buried by marriage!
Little did Nial know, however, that he would be begging a woman to marry him in the future.
At the Bailey mansion.
Charmine finished her work and could not help looking out the window.
Anthony's car was nowhere in view, still.
Did he have to take so long to get Nial together?
Instinctively, Charmine wanted to phone him, but she then stopped herself. Why would she, as a lady, be so impatient?
Anthony would not lie to her. If he said he went to meet Nial, it must be true!
He did not come home because it had not been sorted out.
With that, Charmine put down the phone and walked out to the balcony. She admired the moon outside the window as she waited for Anthony to come home.
She waited for Anthony from ten at night until twelve...and it extended until one in the morning.
Anthony was still not back yet.
Charmine frowned. Unable to withhold her anger, she went back into the room, decisively took up her phone, and called him.
His phone was turned off!
Charmine's hand clenched around the phone, and a wave of anger rippled within her. 1
It was their wedding night, yet not only did he leave his wife in the middle of the night, but even his phone was turned off? Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She put down the phone and laid in bed. She turned off the lights and slept.
The next morning...
Charmine turned around and habitually reached out to hug Anthony...only to find the spot still empty.
She thought of something half-asleep, and her eyelids flapped open before she turned to scan the spacious, luxurious room.
She was the only one here!
Anthony did not come home on their wedding night?
Even though he went to talk Nial out of his heartbreak, he should have known the boundaries!
Depressed, Charmine got out of bed and went into the washroom.
After washing up, she walked out of the bedroom. Not far away, a group of maids was discussing loudly as if they were meant for her to hear.
"How ironic! Master went out in the middle of the night and hasn't come home until now. Charmine was alone in the bedroom!" "Sigh! She looks so haughty, yet she can't even keep her man!" "Hah! Look at her attitude! Why would Master like her!? I suspect that she forced him to marry her!" 1 "I know, the gentle Ms. Annabel suits the Master." "Master probably doesn’t like her at all!"
When Charmine heard this, her red lips curled into a smirk as she stood behind them with her hands on her waist. "You ladies done?" she chimed in softly.
The maids jumped in shock. They quickly formed a line.
However, one of them still mumbled, "We're telling the truth. Master didn't come home on the wedding night. You can’t even keep your man; he doesn't like you for sure..." 1
Charmine scoffed and glared at them. "I’d like to remind you that it’s nowhere near Anthony not liking me. I’m not happy with him-l kicked him out to sleep on the street!" she spoke proudly and regally.
With that said, she walked past the maids arrogantly.
However, the group behind her still continued to gossip.
"She kicked Master out? Who’d believe that!?” "Don't listen to her. Master probably did leave and she doesn't want anyone to make fun of her, and that's why she's lying." i
As they spoke, a maid’s voice was heard coming from downstairs.
"Master, welcome back."
