Chapter 1916
Annabel stood by Charmine's side. She watched as McKenzie left before she sighed in relief, saying, "Wonderful. Ms. McKenzie has finally given up. Nobody will separate Ms. Charmine and President Bailey now!"
Annabel was pleased as though this was her happy ending and she was happier than anyone.
Susan glared at her angrily. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
This woman always made way for them! She had no intention of winning at all!
At the Bailey mansion.
Anthony carried Charmine back into the room and quickly fixed her wound.
It still bothered him that she was injured, albeit with only a minor scratch.
Anthony looked at Charmine meaningfully and emotionally, as his action toward her was gentle and loving.
Charmine nonchalantly looked up at him and was drawn in by the endearing expression he had for her.
Her gaze then gravitated toward his inviting lips, and she could not help raising her head to kiss them.
Anthony stiffened at her beguiling kiss. He hesitated at the intimacy, fighting with himself whether or not he should let this continue at its pace. 1
If he deepened the kiss, things might really take a turn toward a certain direction!
No...he must not touch her yet.
At the same time, however, he did not want to disappoint her at such an important moment, every time...
Anthony took a deep breath to clear the emotions in his head. He wanted to stay calm.
As his hand was about to push her away, knocks were heard on their door as a maid's voice was heard from outside, "Sir, Madam, dinner is ready."
This simple line was his savior!
Anthony thus pulled Charmine away and touched her nose lovingly. "Time to eat, my darling."
Charmine, however, reeled him back fiercely. "I don't want to eat. I want to eat...you!" she spoke, her tone bewitching his senses.
Facing Charmine's cloudy gaze and flirtatious voice, Anthony nearly gave in
Any man would not be able to let his wife off the bed for three days if being spoken to in this tone. 1
However, he must not do so yet.
Anthony could only sigh and repress himself, evident through his husky voice, "Everyone is waiting for us downstairs, dearest..."
He actually meant that he did not want the rest of the family waiting on them.
"Fine." Charmine looked at him and said, "No matter what excuse you pull tonight, you can only belong to me!"
Anthony looked at her lovingly. "Once you've recovered, you don’t even have to say it," he answered, already making her walk out with him.
Charmine frowned.
Why did he not verbally agree to her words?
She would try again after the meal...
When they arrived downstairs, everyone was seated around the table and waiting forthem.
When they saw them coming down, Grandma Bailey smiled peacefully. She went forward to hold Charmine's hand and pulled her to sit with her.
"Charmine, you brought us pride today. You didn't see it yourself, but when you saved her from the cliff, everyone spoke only words of high regard for you. Even I became your fangirl!" 2
The serious Senior Bailey could not help chiming in, "This old lady has been praising you all day!" "What? Can't I praise my granddaughter-in-law?" sassed Grandma Bailey in a childlike manner.
"Alright, alright," cooed Senior Bailey.
Charmine's red lips curved into a smile. "Thank you, Grandma."
During the meal, Grandma Bailey scooped food for Charmine. She could not hide the admiration-filled gaze she had as she did. 1 "Charmine risked her life to save her marriage," she spoke to everyone at the table, "and she won so brightly and beautifully! Nobody is allowed to dislike Charmine or ask her to leave Anthony. If I see anyone doing it, I'll make sure that person gets a piece of my mind!" 2
Grandma Bailey did not look at Susan, but everyone knew Grandma Bailey directed it at her.
Susan's face stiffened at this remark. She acted as if she did not hear it and said nothing.
It seemed that she had to behave herself.
