Chapter 167

Due to the commotion and aftermath of Hubert and Claire’s showdown, Anthony’s VIP room was flooded with clamor the moment Charmine opened the door to enter. Chris—who feasted on fried chicken wings—was blatantly startled at the noise. “Mommy, what’s happening outside? Why so noisy?” 　　 “Nothing, just two dogs fighting.” She closed the door and shut out the hubbub. 　 Charmine then sat down beside Chris and gently wiped his mouth with a napkin. “You should eat more,” she spoke, “your body needs more energy.” “Okay! Mommy should have some too. This cake is yummy!” Chris forked a piece from the cake and tried to feed her. Charmine obediently opened her mouth, and his chubby hand carefully fed it to her. 　　 The boy’s act warmed her heart. She never knew happiness could be so simple. Anthony dined gracefully as he watched the two interact with one another, and a smile slowly made its way to his face. It was a lovely dinner. … Anthony finished his meal about twenty minutes later.
