"Shouted what?"
Anthony listened closely, genuinely a bit intrigued.
"It shouted, 'I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Can you hear me?'"
"..."
Hearing the girl's punchline, Anthony's fingertips twitched, his expression freezing for a brief moment.
A few seconds later.
A low, husky chuckle rumbled from his chest, rich and sexy. "Mrs. Blair, are you trying to coax a child?"
"Wait."
Charlotte pressed her hands over his, blinking her eyes rapidly. "I have another story for you."
"..."
Anthony looked at her charming makeup and the bright smile in her eyes. His heart softened. Reaching up, he gently smoothed her hair and nodded. "Alright, tell me."
"Once upon a time, there were three people named Good, Bad, and Messy. One day, Bad asked Messy to go out and play. Messy asked, 'Who else is coming?'"
"..."
Anthony looked at her with a soft smile, murmuring, "Go on."
"Bad said, 'We're bringing Good.'"
"Okay."
After hearing his wife's story, Anthony remained silent for two seconds. Then, he suddenly grabbed her waist and pressed his warm lips against hers.
"You..."
With the wall behind her and the man's chest in front, Charlotte had nowhere to run.
"Didn't you say we're good now?"
Charlotte turned her head away, her breathing slightly ragged. Her fingers clung tightly to his collar, her eyes misting over. "Anthony, you went back on your word."
"I didn't."
Anthony intertwined his fingers with hers, pressing his nose affectionately against hers. His voice was a low, seductive whisper. "I said I'd help you change, and I'll help you change."
Change what?
Clothes?
He wasn't accepting her apologies, and now he was twisting her words?
Charlotte's mind was about to explode!
She wanted to fight Anthony right now!
"Mrs. Blair, you really are a phenomenal dancer."
