Warning My Mommy is A Savage

chapter 1823

Charmine held Anthony’s hand and assured him, "Go and take charge of this task."

Anthony's eyes darkened. "If I do, I’ll have to bring Fredrick's team to collect data in different cities. I won't be able to stay home with you."

Charmine, however, calmly answered, "It's okay, it’s only a few days or weeks. It's not like we haven't been apart before. Furthermore, now that we're married, I’m staying at your house, waiting for you to come home. What are you worried about?"

Anthony gently rubbed her head and knew Charmine was concerned about the politics of Burlington. He nodded and agreed.

He lowered his head to kiss Charmine's glistening forehead. "Wait for me to come home, dearest." "Okay."

With that, Charmine helped Anthony pack up.

Seeing Charmine's magnetic figure made his heart sink.

He got up from the sofa and walked over to hug her from the bag. He leaned on her shoulder and muttered, "I'll miss you, dearest."

Charmine put down the clothes at hand, and her cold hands stroked his back. She said, "We can video call in your spare time," she suggested. "Ten or so days will pass quickly."

Anthony sighed. "I'm sorry."

Charmine smiled. "It's alright. Go get it done, don't worry."

Anthony turned her small figure around to face him, lifted her face by her chin, and caught her kiss with his passionately.

His action might have been domineering, but he was gentle as he did.

Anthony slowly released Charmine, and rather reluctantly at that. He picked up his suitcase and said, "Call me if anything, dearest." "I will," said Charmine. "You're my husband; who else should I call if I don't call you?" 1

It was rare for her to say this, and he felt emotional just hearing those words.

He looked at her deeply before leaving without turning back.

He then went downstairs and got into the car. When he saw Charmine standing on the balcony from his rear mirror, his eyes darkened emotionally.

How he wanted to hug her tight and kiss her harshly...but he dared not stop.

He would never be able to leave her if he turned.

Charmine stood on the balcony as she watched the car becoming smaller and smaller, until it eventually vanished. Only then did she look away.

She looked far away, and her clear eyes grew murky with her thoughts.

Why would Fredrick open up a hospital in Burlington? Moreover, why would he even share his technology with them?

Waverly must have been involved.

Charmine’s eyes narrowed at this. With a thought, she got changed and drove away.

As she was on the road, however, her phone from inside the bag rang. Charmine's free hand reached in to fish out the phone.

It was Senior Jordan. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

She picked up right away. "Grandpa, what is it?"

From the other end of the phone, Senior Jordan's aged voice was heard, " Charmine, are you free today?" "Yes," answered Charmine, "is everything alright?"

Senior Jordan then replied, albeit seemingly formal, "Come home. I have things to tell you." "Okay."

Charmine hung up and drove toward the Jordan mansion instead.

When she arrived at the Jordan mansion, she met up with Senior Jordan, who then brought her straight to the prayer room solemnly.

Inside the nicely furnished prayer room were more than ten name plates, and Senior Jordan led Charmine to pay respects to one of them.

Charmine grew suspicious of his actions and asked, "Grandpa, what happened?"

Why did he suddenly bring her to the prayer room?

Senior Jordan looked at Charmine and said, "Charmine, I think the whole issue with Tiffany is quite strange. Aren't you curious why you’re the adopted daughter, but I've always treated you well?" 1

Charmine nodded.

She had always been curious about this, too.
