Chapter 419 Anthony was working on the laptop, and from where he sat, Charmine could clearly see the screen of his laptop. The screen showed photos of her walking out from Royal Banquet Bar and some images of Julian. Did Anthony send his men to follow after her? Anthony heard the door open and quickly turned to see Charmine. He frowned and quietly closed his laptop. “You‘re home.”
Charmine nodded and locked the door behind her after she entered. Nonchalantly, she said, “I saw it.” Had Charmine seen everything? Anthony frowned. Had Charmine seen the images on his laptop and knew he had his men following her? Still… He disregarded that and inspected Charmine thoroughly. “You changed clothes?” His voice deep and almost demanding, his gaze cold like a lion sizing up his territory. Charmine was going to question him first; she did not expect Anthony to question her instead. Thinking of her interaction with Julian, she felt strangely guilty. “Bumped into a dog,” came Charmine‘s reply. “Felt disgusted, so I changed.” Anthony‘s eyes darkened. Was that all–‘bumped into a dog‘? She stayed in the same room for so long with the utterly wasted Julian, and they used to be in a relationship. How was that just ‘bumped into a dog‘? Anthony shot up from his seat all of a sudden and walked toward Charmine, one step at a time. Charmine frowned. “What—“. Before she could speak, Anthony already stopped before her, carried her in his arms, and walked to the bathroom on the first floor. Uneasy, Charmine blurted, “What are you doing, Anthony?” The silent Anthony seemed ominous and distant at that moment, shutting the bathroom door after entering. He placed Charmine inside the bathtub and turned on the water tap. Charmine wanted to get up, but Anthony pressed her down by her shoulders. “Clean up.” His tone almost sounded like an instruction..
It was only then Charmine realized he was more of a clean freak than she was. He made her bathe just because she bumped into Julian? “Anthony, it‘s simple. He merely pulled on my wrists, and touched my shoulder–”
“Merely? So you were expecting more interaction than that?” Anthony‘s eyes darkened, displeased by what he heard. Charmine called it, Anthony was jealous! Meanwhile, Anthony lifted her wrists and rubbed them with water. He rubbed from the left wrist to right, so thoroughly that her wrists turned red, and yet he had no intention of stopping Thinking of how Julian touched Charmine‘s wrists, his gaze darkened. Anthony did not even have many opportunities to touch her own woman. How dare that Julian touched Charmine? Right, her shoulder. Did he grab Charmine‘s shoulder?
The thought of it…
Anthony‘s eyes darkened as he reached out to help Charmine clean her shoulder. Right as his hand landed on her shoulder, however, their eyes met as both of them jolted. “Get out, I‘ll wash myself thoroughly.” That brought Anthony out of his mini trance as he asserted, “I‘m not convinced.” With that, he looked around and pulled over a towel to cover her. Anthony then continued to wash her shoulder with his hand. Charmine was speechless at his assertiveness.
