Warning My Mommy is A Savage

Chapter 77

Charmine frowned as she turned her gaze to Chris, who was in her arms. “Momo, what’s wrong? Your dad cleared his day so he can bring you to an amusement park. Why don’t you want to go? As long as you don’t run around madly, you won’t be lost from your dad.”

Chris pitifully sobbed before he muttered, “I don’t… I don’t want to go to the amusement park anymore.” The boy continued to cry again after that.

Charmine was usually apathetic and unconcerned about anyone or anything. However, for reasons unknown, her heart felt like it could break as soon as she saw Chris crying. She hugged Chris even tighter. ” Momo, what happened? You can tell me. I’ll give your dad a stern warning, and I won’t let him bully you.”

The boy sniffled before he replied, “It’s not Daddy… It has nothing to do with Daddy. The reason the teacher organized this family trip was to have a family, with both mom and dad there with us kids, at the amusement park. The other kids will have their moms and dads there. Early this morning, Timmy called me to boast. He said that his mommy got him a bubble machine…!

“Momo doesn’t have a mom. Even if I go to the amusement park, I’ll still get teased. That’s why I don’t want to go! Momo would rather stay at home alone and cry instead of getting teased by the other kids i” Chris said this while crying continuously, and his tears ran endlessly.

In only a short time, Charmine’s shoulders were drenched in tears. Charmine could feel the trembles of Chris’ little body as he continued to cry. ‘He must be so upset,’ she thought. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

She turned to Anthony and said, “There are s o many women out there who adore you. I’m sure the great Mr. Bailey would find a woman companion for the trip.”

“I’ve thought about that,” replied Anthony, “but after looking at all their background checks, these women are desperate to just become Mrs. Bailey. If this is their motive, they might use Chris to get to me and do despicable things to him. For Momo’s safety, this isn’t a risk that I’m happy to take.” 1

`Well… It’s true. Apart from me, which woman wouldn’t want to be married to Anthony Bailey? If it meant that they could b e married to Anthony, many women would b e willing to hurt Momo,’ thought Charmine with a frown, and she sank deeper into her thoughts.

At that moment, she noticed that both Anthony and Momo were staring at her, and their gaze made the hairs on the back of her neck crawl. She swiftly blurted, “Err… I have matters I need to attend to today. I can’t accompany you to the amusement park.”

Chris instantly wilted once more. “It’s alright… I know Mommy doesn’t like Momo. Momo must’ve done something wrong, and that’s why you don’t like me. You should head home and rest, Mommy. Momo will leave you alone. I won’t be a burden to you …!” wept Chris while he let go of Charmine’s hand.

He started to take small steps with his short legs; he looked like a lost puppy. As he walked, he bitterly wailed, “What did Momo do wrong…? Why is Momo the only one in the world who doesn’t have a mom? Why does my real mom not like Momo? Why does Mommy not like Momo?”

Chris’ broken voice felt like sharp needles that pierced Charmine’s heart, one after another. It hurt so much that she felt like her airpipes were lodged. She wanted to rush ahead and hug him, comfort him, and agree t o anything he wanted. However, she could not. It was not possible.

Charmine was done with the Jordan family business and was planning on returning home. There were still many things that awaited her attention, and she could not afford to stay out too long. Furthermore, the events from five years ago had already determined she would have no happy ending with them. She could only strengthen her resolve.

At that moment, Chris—who had been crying as he walked—suddenly fell onto the grass as his entire being shook in pain. The sound of his crying intensified and he let out a heart-wrenching whimper as his mouth started to froth. 1

“Momo! Momo!” Charmine cried out. Her every logic and reason disappeared into thin air as she sprinted and pulled Chris into her embrace. She was utterly horrified as she snapped at Anthony, “What’s happening to him? Hurry up and call an ambulance! Ambulance!”

“It’s no use. Every time he gets overly upset, he’ll start twitching. Unless he gets what he wants, he’d twitch for about thirty minutes, though sporadically, before returning to normal,” explained Anthony as he retrieved Chris from her arms to place him on the ground. “You can go ahead and sort out your work,” Anthony added, “don’t worry about him. He’ll be here, and his twitching will last for at least thirty minutes before it eventually resolves on its own.”

`Thirty minutes? That’s such a long time,’ thought Charmine. Charmine stared at the tiny body twitching non-stop on the grass field and could not take it any longer. She grasped Chris’ little hand and said, “Momo, get better soon. I’ll step in to be your mommy. I’ll come with you to the amusement park! Wouldn’t that be great?”
