Charmine looked at Anthony, clear-eyed. "In that case, look for the condom!
Anthony reached out to caress her face and helplessly explained, his tone emotional and regretful, "We don't have this at home yet."
As he gazed into Charmine’s doubt-filled eyes, he assured her resolutely," My darling, as you know, I've never messed around. It's normal that I don’t have them at home." 1
Charmine’s expression eased at that.
Anthony had a point. If she found a box of condoms in his drawer, she would lose her mind!
She arched her eyebrows and got off of him. "So we'll continue at night?" she asked.
"Of course..." Anthony got up and hugged her from behind. He leaned on her shoulder and said gently, "I'm a normal and healthy man. Why would I not want it?"
Charmine believed him then, but just as she was about to say something else, knocks were heard on their door...as Grandma Bailey's voice was heard from outside.
"Charmine, are you awake yet?" "I am," replied Charmine. "Please wait for a while, Grandma."
Charmine got off the bed quickly and fixed her messy hair, while Anthony began to button up his shirt.
When Anthony saw Charmine getting up to open the door, he let out a sigh of relief. 1
He managed to evade it this time around. 2 "Good morning, Grandma," greeted Charmine when she opened the door.
"Good morning." Grandma Bailey saw the blush lingering on Charmine's face and was delighted.
The two of them were-
No, she came at the wrong time. Wrong time! She would not have disturbed them if she knew!
Anthony got out of the room and went to Charmine’s side. He pulled her into a hug naturally and said, "What do you need, Grandma?"
Grandma Bailey was still furious at herself for disturbing them.
Nonetheless, she explained, albeit helplessly so, "The Houstons are hosting a small dinner party tonight, and they invited us over for a meal. The Bailey and Houston families have been friends for centuries, and now that you've just gotten married, you should go and have a meal with them. This is to introduce Charmine to the Houstons." NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
Charmine frowned at this, instantly recalling the arrogant McKenzie upon hearing the Houston family's name.
Anthony noticed Charmine's expression and seemed to have thought of something. "Grandma, can we not go?" reasoned Anthony.
"No." Grandma Bailey then said, "The Houstons have invited all of us. They even said that you and Charmine must be there. If you don't show up, they'll get offended."
Anthony had more to say, but Charmine spoke before he could. "Alright, Grandma. We'll go." "Alright, then." Grandma Bailey looked at Charmine and smiled. "You're indeed my understanding granddaughter-in-law."
Charmine smiled weakly. "You don't have to praise me all the time, Grandma. This is the right thing to do." "Well, you are very kind," said Grandma Bailey, "so you should be praised."
With that said, she looked at Anthony. "Anthony, do you listen to Charmine all the time? You mustn't hurt her." 1
Anthony looked at Charmine and replied affectionately, "Don't worry about that. Do I need you to remind me?"
Grandma Bailey had a pleased look as she said, "Alright. Get ready, then." "Okay."
Grandma Bailey nodded and pushed the two of them inside. "Go back and continue what you were doing."
With that said, she left with a grin. 1
Anthony and Charmine exchanged glances, and it took a while for them to react.
Charmine had a blush on her fair face. She shot Anthony a look before going inside.
Anthony shut the door and chased after her, grabbing her by the waist as he spoke, "My darling, Grandma asked us to continue what we were doing...
Charmine remained calm as she looked at him. "At night."
She was no longer in the mood.
Anthony's lips curved into a gentle smile as he patted her head. "I'll listen to my wife."
