Warning My Mommy is A Savage

chapter 1724

Hehe! He would call for his Daddy first and let Chloe sleep for a little longer.

"Daddy!" Chris sangsonged as he pushed the door open.

However, all that he saw was an empty room...and Anthony was nowhere to be seen. Chris paused at the sight.

Thinking Anthony was still somewhere in the house, he called out louder, "Daddy? Daddy?"

The only response he got was the rooster's crow that came from the village chief's house.

Chris frowned. Had Anthony gone out so early in the morning for a run?

Sighing, the boy turned to head home, intending to call Anthony. Just as he was about to leave, however, he saw a letter left on the table.

Pausing, he walked toward the letter and noticed words written on the surface.

[To: Charmine Jordan.]

Chris' eyes widened as a thought intruded him, and his gaze darted around the house worriedly.

His tiny hands clenched on the letter as he turned to run home.

"Mommy!”

Charmine just got changed at that point, replying to Chris gently, "Have you called Chloe as well, dear?"

Chris shook his head. "I didn't."

"Hmm?" Charmine looked at him. Just as she was about to speak, Chris handed the letter to her. "I went to look for Daddy in his house and only saw this left on the table."

Reading the words written on the envelope, Charmine's heart sank as she took the letter from Chris and opened it.

The letter, upon being unfolded, revealed a messily written content.

[Charmine, I have an urgent matter to deal with back in Burlington. Do take care of yourself. Once I sort it out, I'll come back for you when I can.

[Don't let your thoughts trouble you. Take care, and don't miss me.

[Anthony.]

Charmine could feel how her heart hollowed at the words she had read.

Anthony left, and without telling her in person?

This...did not surprise her as much.

This explained his strange behavior last night, then.

Anthony had a longing look in his eyes and looked almost restrained. He was so caring toward her and said strange things.

Were these tell-tale signs of his eventual departure, after all? What made him leave so abruptly? NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

According to what she knew, there was nothing urgent coming up from Bailey Corporation lately.

Who did he think she was, that he could come and go as he pleased?

He left after seeing she was opening herself to him once more, knowing he had won her heart again?

What a twist, this was.

Charmine felt inexplicably crestfallen, frustrated. In the next instance, however, she tore the letter into pieces and binned them, all while Chris stood next to her, unease.

His father was utterly unreliable.

Just when Charmine was slowly starting to accept him again, just when she was starting to have faith in love again, he left her behind.

What was he thinking?

Worried that Charmine would revert to her old, unforgiving self again, Chris grabbed her hand with his own, pudgy hand, persuading her, "Mommy, Daddy probably has some urgent matters that he had to leave in the middle of the night. He didn't tell us in person because we were sleeping."

"No," replied Charmine resolutely, sure of herself, "he didn't leave abruptly."

If he had to leave abruptly, he would not have behaved that way last night.

It was apparent that he was prepared to leave.

How laughable.

If he would leave as he pleased, why did he bother to act as if he did not want to leave?
