Chapter 81
Charmine tried to steer Chris away with a conversation. However, he dozed off on the armrest almost immediately!
The kid that had been whooping to go on the Ferris wheel had finally wound down and fallen asleep!
Charmine felt deceived. She wanted to wake him up but was stopped by Anthony.
“Just let him be. Whenever he has a seizure, i t drains him.”
Anthony had even thought of reasons to defend Chris.
Charmine took a back seat and remained silent.
The Ferris wheel rose gradually, giving a bird’s eye view of Burlington City.
Birds glided in pairs upon the windows, igniting the mind to imagine romantic scenarios.
Charmine showed little to no interest in the view. She went on look at her cellphone, giving Anthony the cold shoulder. 1
Anthony leveled his gaze on her with a frown and said, “Hey, Ms. Jordan! Are you sure you don’t want to enjoy this stunning scenic view of Burlington? Staring at your cellphone for so long is harmful to your eyes!” 3
“Isn’t this just a normal panoramic view of a city? It’s nothing special,” said Charmine a s she did not even bother to look at Anthony.
Anthony was perplexed by the reply. Nothing special? I thought girls love Ferris wheels, so how come she’s turning her back t o this?’
“So what are you interested in then?” he murmured.
“Umm… Drifting or skydiving!” answered Charmine, crossing her legs while continuing to look at her cellphone.
Anthony’s heart skipped a beat. Those were all the activities that he had never tried before.
The conversation was efficiently ended there
Along with the rise of the Ferris wheel, the other couples on-board were either hugging or kissing each other, while he…
Chris, who was fake-sleeping, tried to silently mouth a few words to give a hint to Anthony, “Daddy, you have only fifteen minutes left! Find a solution! Quickly!” 2
Anthony’s countenance fell. He definitely did not want to waste the remaining time he had left. Looking at Charmine ignoring him for her cellphone, what was he to do?
As he also looked toward Charmine’s cellphone, a lightbulb lit up in his head! He took out his cellphone and immediately texted Nial right after winking to Chris.
“Make the arrangements at the Ferris wheel.”
Charmine was looking at the Phoenix Hotel’s investigation report that Kay sent. Crack! Suddenly, the carriage shook vigorously. “Aaaah!”
The all the ladies in the Ferris wheel screamed in fear and buried themselves in the arms of their male companions.
Anthony had ever readied himself to welcome Charmine into his arms in such a panic-filled situation. To his surprise, however, she was still sitting calmly. In fact, she even quickly pocketed her cellphone
and shielded Chris who was still sleeping on the chair.
`Is she even a woman?’ Anthony stood stunned for a moment.
The carriage was now shaken vigorously again. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
The ladies screamed yet again. Their voices were edged with fear, but Charmine kept her cool.
This made Anthony’s face fall. ‘Is she always cool in such situations? Are all my efforts now in vain?’
Anthony had never failed.
The carriage shook again. This round, he rose up to sit beside Charmine. “Don’t be afraid, you have me.”
He reached out and put his arm around her waist, attempting to protect her.
“In what way have I told you that I’m afraid?” she asked, nearly jumping out of her skin at his actions.
