chapter 1804
Charmine, who was usually a proud character, took the initiative for the first time.
Anthony nearly could not hold himself back from Charmine's initiative, but he then recalled her hatred, and he felt his heart sink.
Gulping, his gaze slowly grew stern with resolution as he then reached out and pried her hands off of his. "I'm sorry, dearest. Nial phoned earlier. He mentioned how heartbroken he was and thought of ending his life," he said. "I thought about it and am still worried. I want to go over and try to talk him out of it."
Charmine frowned. She was suspicious.
Nial's heart was broken? Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Since when was he in love? Why did she have not even an inkling of it?
Furthermore, since when did Anthony start caring about Nial?
Regardless, she recalled that they were brothers, and as such, it made sense for Anthony to care.
Since Charmine was not in the mood, she was not ready for it.
"Alright, then, go on," agreed Charmine. "Come home soon." "I will, dearest."
Anthony looked at her, and his eyes were fixed on her red lips.
However, he had no courage to even kiss her lips.
He could only gently hug her and said, ’Til go now."
Charmine nodded.
She laid in bed and watched as Anthony got changed and left. Upon hearing the sound of the engine revving outside, she snapped out of her thoughts of looking at their wedding room. She felt inexplicably lonely.
Even though she was the one who did not want it, he was the one who left on their wedding night.
This felt strangely...uncomfortable.
Charmine sighed. Without much of a choice, she took out her phone and checked on Mount Village project's development while waiting for Anthony to come home.
Anthony went inside his car and phoned Nial, "Come to D'Night." "What?" Nial thought he was hallucinating. "Bro, this is your wedding night with Charmine, and you’re asking me out to a bar? Do you even want to live?"
Anthony scoffed. "Just do as you're told; cut the nonsense." "I dare not to," said Nial. "Charmine might hate me!"
Anthony's eyes narrowed, and his lips curled up coldly. "I'll explain to her on my own accord... Unless you want to get married, too?" "No! Don’t!” blurted Nial. "I’ll come, alright? Bro, remember to explain to Charmine-hello? Hello?"
Nial brought the phone away from his ear and looked at the terminated call. He sighed a long, helpless sigh.
Why would his brother keep torturing him?
Nial sadly got changed and drove to D’Night, where Anthony was already there, waiting for him.
He was dressed in his black suit and looked otherworldly.
This was the noisy dance floor, and the music was deafeningly loud. Despite that, he stood alone, exuding a powerful, regal vibe.
A few people tried to approach him, but his aloofness scared them away.
Nial walked over and asked, "Bro, what's the matter? Why did you leave Charmine?"
Did he not just tell Anthony good news? Why did he seem so lonely and worried?
Anthony glared at Nial coldly and said, "I had asked Charmine what she thought about the man who slept with her. She said she hated him deeply."
Nial jolted. "So...that’s why you came out."
Anthony's gaze dulled. "I don't want her to hate me, so I dare not touch her. At least, I'll wait until she learns the truth, forgives me, and after she accepts me."
Nial looked at him speechlessly. "You could've told her! It's such a simple thing!”
Every misunderstanding would be resolved had Anthony just told
Charmine the truth! 2 "I can’t bring myself to," confessed Anthony.
He picked up the wine and downed it solemnly.
It was not easy for him and Charmine to have come to this stage. Would he tell her the truth, knowing how much she hated that man? i Would he want to make her hate him?
