Chapter 1900
With that, McKenzie haughtily strutted away to leave, with her heels clicking beneath her. Miranda followed after her in a hurry, all while she continued to fan her master.
When they got to the car, Miranda opened the car door for McKenzie as they reached the car. McKenzie then got in and sat down, her delicate expression slowly souring once she did.
D*mn that Charmine! She embarrassed her and even challenged her for three rounds?!
Heh! How ignorant.
She wanted Charmine to regret that she had challenged her tomorrow!
McKenzie looked up coldly at Miranda, who was driving, and instructed," No matter what happens tomorrow, do not let Charmine arrive at the venue!
"Yes, Madam!” answered her assistant dutifully.
McKenzie leaned on the sofa, her elegant face frosty as she observed her fair fingers nonchalantly.
Charmine Jordan... If she could not even arrive at the venue, how could she win?
Charmine would lose tomorrow! 1
At the Baileys' mansion.
Charmine came out of the shower and saw Anthony smoking on the balcony. His tall figure seemed rather desolate under the dim light.
Charmine walked out to his side and saw his usually elegant face looking unpleasant. She then smiled.
"You genuinely don't mind about my bet, right?"
Anthony turned over and looked at her. "Have you thought about what to do if you lose?"
Yes, he trusted her, but what if something wrong happened in between? It was not easy for him to finally marry her. What if she had to divorce him after all this?
Charmine met his worrying eyes, and her delicate face remained calm.
She reached out to hold his hand and said, her tone reflecting just how confident and bold she was, "Anthony, why don't you trust your wife? It's just McKenzie; I’m not even intimidated!"
She looked at him coldly and said, "I only want to win peace for the rest of our married life!"
Anthony's heart fluttered at this, and his cold expression slowly eased off.
Charmine was right.
If Charmine won, McKenzie would never show up in their world and try to break them up again! 2
Still...how could she be so certain that she would win?
Charmine met his concern-filled gaze and smiled nonchalantly. She reached out to hold his chin, saying with queen-like pride, "Are you afraid of me losing? Why don't you show me some support?" 1
She then stood on her toes to kiss Anthony's inviting lips, causing Anthony to stiffen at the sudden softness he felt.
He knew what 'support' meant to her; it was the act they had not performed since their wedding.
However...
He must not touch her until she could forgive what happened five years ago. 1
He knew he should turn her away, that he should pull any excuse to push her away, but... This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
He felt her kisses, and it took every fiber of his being to resist his urges.
Anthony hesitated for a moment before he reached out to pull her into his arms. He deepened the kiss...
As the kiss grew fervent and passionate, however, Anthony stopped.
He let go of Charmine and looked at the flushed woman before him. His husky voice rang out lowly, "My darling, why don't you rest early tonight to prepare for tomorrow's competition?"
His voice oozed so much pent-up frustration that it sounded incredibly seductive.
Charmine, on the other hand, was baffled at the sudden stop and eyed Anthony warily.
She could feel that he wanted it, but why did he stop it?
