Chapter 147
Charmaine wanted to move away out of reflex but Anthony said, “Don’t worry, I’m bringing you to the veranda.”
He walked ahead while holding her hand.
Due to the pond’s design, all stone piers placed between the lotuses were above water.
Charmaine did not dare to struggle in fear of accidentally dragging Anthony into the water with her. She let him pull her toward the edge of the garden.
The duo stood before the fence, the evening breeze blowing on them. They overlooked the lights from thousands of houses, and the sky was full of stars. Everything was astonishingly beautiful, and the air was also filled with a comfortable warmth coupled with romantic undertones.
For some reason, Charmaine was more immersed in this than she imagined she would be. Unfortunately, the beauty of it all was about to come to its end…
She retracted her gaze and began making up her speech in her mind.
During that very moment, Anthony turned around out of the blue, looked right at her, and said, “Charmaine, I can give you a home.”
His deep voice reached her ears through the night breeze. Charmaine’s heart skipped a beat again.
Give her a home…
Was he proposing to her?
How was that possible… Maybe he thought she was testing him.She took a deep breath, started thinking up her speech again, and finally said with a serious face, “Anthony, I’ve been wanting to tell you something. I think this is the right time. It’s impossible for us to get together because five years ago…”
“Mr. Bailey! Mr. Bailey! Something’s wrong!”
Luke ran over and yelled nervously, “Momo’s in trouble!” “What happened?” Anthony’s brows became twisted.
Luke replied, “Momo’s having convulsions! They’re pretty bad!”
“Where’s Nial?” Anthony asked while walking back with Charmaine’s hand in his.
Charmaine did not care what she wanted to talk about anymore. The moment she heard that Chris was in trouble, she felt like her brain had exploded. She wanted nothing more than to see Chris right then. Luke replied, “He’s been contacted. It’ll take at least twenty minutes for him to get here.”
