Chapter 574

Did this man have to be so possessive?

After Anthony gave instructions to his men, he looked at her and asked, "Do you want others to know about our collaboration?" 1

He was willing to provide everything for Charmine, but he did not know what she felt about it.

He knew Charmine was just acting in front of Julian like he did.

Charmine said, "Of course we'll officiate our collaboration, but... The collaboration between the Baileys and Jordans shouldn't reveal our relationship no matter what."

Anthony frowned. So she wanted his resources and not his person?

Was he not as good as his resources?

Unusually upset, Anthony muttered, "Charmine, we've been secretive about our relationship for so long now. When do you plan on officiating our relationship? Am I such an embarrassment to you?"

His hoarse voice was laced with a hint of displeasure.

Charmine looked at him and felt as if she had treated him wrongly. 1

At the thought of everything that had happened, however, her eyes dulled." Anthony, let's talk."

Talk?

Anthony felt somehow uneasy.

As expected...

Charmine's eyes fixed on the poster. 'The man told me about his past-his ex-girlfriend reunited with her first love.

"She insisted on being with him in the beginning, but after going through many things and changes, she realized she still loved her first love."

Anthony's eyes darkened instantly. "So?"

"So..." Charmine gazed at Anthony solemnly and, with an equally solemn expression, spoke, "I hope that we don't meet in the next ten days. During the ten days, you, Chris, and Annabel must try to get along with one another. If you still have no feelings for her after ten days, I'll believe that you no longer have feelings for her."

Anthony's eyes were hauntingly cold. "Charmine, do you not trust me at all?"

"It's not about trust. Annabel is your first love and the mother of Chris. She had been through so much for you, and you three are meant to be a family. She had been through so much, thus she deserves a happy ending. The ten days of interaction will be beneficial to you, Annabel, and me. If you start to have feelings for her again, it would prevent a tragedy from happening, don't you think?" spoke Charmine. 3

Anthony tightened his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him.

'The tragedy is all in your head. I know who I truly love," countered Anthony.

"Don't sound too confident. You have so much history with Annabel, but what do we have? Think carefully: Do we have any memorable or heartracing moments? The beauty of teenage years?" Charmine glared at him. Anthony's brows furrowed.

He seemed to have shared nothing of such with Charmine...

They did not have any memorable or heart-racing moments, nor did they have any beauty of teenage years left in them.

It was just that when he first saw her, he somehow felt that it was her all along, that she was the person he would marry.

Somehow, this feeling grew stronger and slowly became a part of him.

The stars seemed to have aligned for him... Forthem.

Seeing that he did not speak, she recalled all their memories within half a minute.

Since they first met, it was Chris trying to ship them together. Without Chris, perhaps she would not come even close to Anthony.

Still, what did a child know? The child just so happened to like her and hoped that she was his mother.

Perhaps, it was not love that Anthony felt for her. Perhaps it was just a habit, merely for the sake of satisfying Chris' need...

Thinking of that, Charmine's eyes darkened as she insisted, "Anthony, I'm not negotiating with you-I'm telling you. I'll never do anything that I'm not confident of. If you're confident, and you're certain that you won't fall for Annabel after spending ten days with her, then prove it to me. If not...I won't be with you." 1

Her words left no room for negotiation, cold as they were.
