Chapter 1799
Grandma Bailey and Charmine got into the car, and the elder reassured Charmine, "Don't be troubled, Charmine. To me, I only have one granddaughter-in-law."
Charmine smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't mind. I wouldn't have said yes last night had I did."
Charmine was very generous, and the two elders liked her for that.
Only a generous, sensible, and powerful woman was good enough to be the in-law of the Bailey family.
Anthony was not wrong in his choice, after all!
All four of them got into the car while the assistant rushed over with Annabel.
When Annabel saw everyone waiting for her, her face went pale as she apologized, "Grandma Bailey, President Bailey, Mrs. Bailey, I'm sorry to be late."
Grandma Bailey saw how weak she was and frowned. "Don't worry. You don't have to apologize for such a small matter."
In fact, Grandma Bailey feared that her baby might be as weak as her!
Annabel nodded, though her palm-sized face still looked uneasy. She sat in the corner by herself, further from everyone else, much to Grandma Bailey's bewilderment
Charmine looked over and said, "Don't sit so far away. It’s like we'd hurt you.”
Annabel nodded, but she only moved a few centimeters forward.
Charmine did not bother anymore.
Anthony hugged Charmine and whispered into her ear, "Pay her no mind, dearest."
Charmine smiled at him and said in a low voice, "I'm worried you might think I'm bullying your...secret lover.”
Anthony looked at her and could not hide the gentleness in his eyes. "My lover is you, and it’ll forever be you." i
Charmine's beautiful lips curved into a smile as she nestled herself in his arms.
Grandma Bailey smiled pleasantly at the loving sight, and even Annabel- who sat at the corner on her own-gave a small yet sincere smile at the couple.
When they arrived at the Bailey mansion, Senior Bailey and Grandma Bailey went inside. Charmine and Anthony walked behind them, while Annabel walked alone behind the newlyweds. 1
This did not go unnoticed by the maids, however. After greeting the four, they instantly went over to help Annabel, saying, "Be careful, Ms. Annabel."
Annabel looked at them gently. 'Thank you, but I'm fine, don't worry."
However, the maids still looked after her carefully. After helping her get inside, they even massaged her feet. "Ms. Annabel, you've been out for the entire day, and you must be tired. Let us help you relax." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
The other maid also came out from the kitchen with a bowl of warm and nutritious porridge. "Ms. Annabel, you must be hungry. We've made you porridge for the baby."
Annabel was so touched that looking at them, tears nearly fell down her cheeks. ‘Thank you." "You're welcome," said the maids. 'This is our duty, after all.
With that said, they nonchalantly looked at Charmine. They did not look as friendly.
Hmph!
They did not like this cold, arrogant missus. They preferred someone gentle and polite.
Someone like Annabel!
When they poured her tea, she actually thanked them. Charmine, on the other hand, was always arrogant and haughty.
They wondered if she had drugged Anthony, that he would rather choose someone like Charmine instead of Annabel who bore his child!
However, the maids could never interfere with his decisions. They could only imagine how much easier their lives would get if he chose Annabel.
In the end, he married Charmine.
By the looks of her, they could imagine how hard it would get, which was why they were rather aloof toward her.
This did not go unnoticed by Grandma Bailey, however, and she frowned at them. "Fanny, can’t you see Mrs. Bailey is thirsty? Go and get her a glass of water!"
