Ch. 1101..1105: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 1101-1105
Chapter 1101
“You were supposed to protect them!” Anthony roared, his presence suffocating.
Ivan lowered his head. “I’m sorry, Mr. Marwood. This is my mistake.”
He had not expected Bianca and Meredith to be famous to an extent that people. would surround them like zombies.
“This will be the last time!”
“Yes, sir!”
Anthony turned and headed to the room next door to check on Charlie.
Charlie was sitting on his bed and staring at the bandage on his forehead through his reflection on a mirror, before declaring bravely, “It’s not painful! I didn’t have my knife just now, or I would have beaten them all!”
Chris and Chloe stayed close to him and cheered him on.
Seeing how energetic Charlie seemed, Anthony knew that he was going to be fine.
“Papa!” Chris and Chloe spotted Anthony and called out in unison.
Anthony walked over to the bed and noticed that Charlie was batting his eyes dazedly at him.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you recognize me?” Anthony looked at him gently.
“I…I recognize…you.” Charlie felt the sudden urge to cry, but managed to hold back his tears with a sniffle.
Anthony took a piece of tissue paper to wipe Charlie’s nose. “Breath.”
Charlie blew his nose with all his might and the tissue paper came close to flying off. Once he blew his nose, he asked with a flushed face, “Where’s Mama? Why isn’t Mama here?”
The children were still unaware that their mother had fainted.
“Your mom is sleeping. You three need to go home first,” Anthony said.
The triplets assumed that Anne was sleeping at home and went into the car obediently. Chloe poked her head out of the window and asked, “Papa, are you not coming?”
“I’m busy with something else. You guys go ahead.” Anthony pressed her head back into the car and rolled the car window up, before watching the car take off.
Meanwhile, Anne’s lashes trembled as she was about to wake up. Shortly after, she slowly opened her eyes and felt uncomfortable when the lights entered her eyes.
“Mrs. Marwood, are you awake?” The nurse came over.
Anne turned her face to the direction of the sound and scowled as the image of the nurse’s face slowly became clear.
Anne stared at the nurse dazedly with disbelief. She closed her eyes and opened them again, realizing that she could still see the nurse’s face. She turned around and scanned the room, taking in every detail along with the cane resting next to the bed.
Anne sat up and grabbed the cane, excited beyond words.
“Mrs. Marwood, where are you going? Mr. Marwood will be back soon.” The nurse thought that Anne wanted to leave.
Absorbed in the joy of having her eyesight back, Anne could not hear a single word the nurse was saying.
‘I can see now,‘ she thought. ‘I can see my children. I can see everything. I can do whatever I want and go anywhere I want now.‘
Anne was overjoyed, but soon remembered her children and asked worriedly, “Where are my kids? Where are they?”
“They went home?”
“Home?”
“Yeah. They are all fine and have left the hospital.” The nurse felt slightly confused as she stared into Anne’s eyes, wondering why it seemed as though Anne could see.
Soon, her question had been answered when Anne got out of bed and headed out with her cane in hand.
She hurried outside and spotted Bianca talking to the nurse when she walked past the reception.
Bianca was about to be discharged and was submitting her documents.
Chapter 1102
Bianca was about to head back into her room and just before she could close her door, a hand reached out and when Bianca turned around, the door flew open before her eyes.
“Ah!” Taking another blow to her injured hand, Bianca looked up at Anne viciously.” Anne Vallois, are you crazy?! Do you know how much my hands are worth? I have them insured. Are you sure you can afford to hurt me?”
Anne raised her hand and started beating Bianca with her cane.
“Ah!” Bianca darted away. “Anne Vallois, stop! Anne! Ugh!”
The second blow followed immediately and Anne did not stop until Bianca collapsed onto the ground.
Bianca’s wails echoed inside the room as Anne stood before her. “I know that you caused what happened today. You deserve this.”
Bianca struggled to get up and moved to slap Anne across the face, but Anne swiftly held the end of the cane against Bianca’s chest, efficiently stopping her from approaching.
Bianca came to a realization as she looked into Anne’s eyes. “You got your vision back?”
“All thanks to you.” Anne stared back coldly.
‘So not only are they not severely injured, Anne got her vision back because of what I did?‘ Bianca thought. ‘I even got slapped in the face by Anthony, and I’m not getting anything out of this? No. No way. Anne suffered. She was in pain. What I did was worth something!‘
“Why are you blaming me? Even Anthony didn’t think it’s my fault. Do you think I would be able to stand here if he thought otherwise?” Bianca questioned sharply, determined to make Anne suffer.
Anne tightened her grip on her cane and took a deep breath to ease the pain in her chest.
“You know that you are responsible for this, and my dad’s death!”
“Come back when you convince Anthony that!” Bianca was not worried at all.
Anne put her cane away wordlessly and turned to leave, only to realize that Anthony had been standing behind her.
After losing her eyesight for a while, the sudden sight of Anthony had caught her off- guard and she was shaken.
‘It’s no wonder that I didn’t see him around when I woke up,‘ she thought. ‘So he’s been here with her all along.‘
Anne struggled to catch her breath at the irony and looked away from Anthony’s eyes, before marching past Anthony.
Anthony tensed.
He noticed something odd when he met Anne’s eyes, but only confirmed that she could see again until she walked past him easily.
Anne straightened her back as she walked away and heard Bianca shouting,” Anthony, you need to go after Anne!”
Not wanting to stay for another second, Anne took off running, but was grabbed by the arm before she could leave.
“Anne!”
Anne lowered her head to stare at Anthony’s hand on her arm, his strong, big hands were precisely what had been keeping her in this hell. She looked up and met his dark, brooding eyes. “I can see again. I don’t need your help. Let go.”
“I’ll send you home.”
She pulled away, but failed to escape his grip. “Anthony Marwood!”
“I’m going home now. Let’s go.” Anthony tensed and dragged her along.
Anne was dragged out of the hospital and into the car headed for the Royal Mansion.
She sat as close to the door as possible quietly with her cane in hand.
Chapter 1103
She did not understand why Anthony would bother to take her home when he should be by Bianca's side.
■Just because I regained consciousness?1 She thought. Anne had a feeling that she and Bianca had simply exchanged roles, but Bianca's relationship with Anthony had not changed at all.
’How ridiculous...' She thought bitterly.
Anthony stared at her intently.
"After checking on the kids, I will go back to living in my mom's mansion. That should be fine, right?" Anne asked. She did not feel the need to discuss her decision with anyone, but decided to ask regardless. Anthony was still the father of her children and she had to make herself clear to prevent the situation from worsening for anyone.
"You know that I didn't move that simply because I couldn't see." She tried her best to remain composed. Anthony was in love with Bianca and Anne knew it, so there was no point for her to share Anthony's bed any longer.
"You live in the Royal Mansion because we are married. I thought you knew that," he said.
"It's just a piece of paper. What good is it? I didn't even want to marry you. Oh, Bianca desperately wants it, though, so maybe you can give it to her instead," Anne said casually, not feeling upset at all. She would never accept what did not belong to her.
The temperature in the car dropped at her words and Anne tensed as she met Anthony's eyes.
"Back when you lost consciousness from the accident, I was thinking that I should lock you up in a room forever, or brainwash you into obeying me. Good thing for you, you lost your memories."
Anne's breath caught with disbelief as she listened to him. Though Anthony never got to implement his plans, Anne was still terrified at the thought of it. His threats filled her heart with fear and she knew that he would resume carrying out those plans if she refused to obey.
’You are out of line here, Anthony Marwood!" She said with a trembling voice. "You...don't even love me!"
"So long as you stop trying to leave, everything is going to be fine. Money, power, you can have it all. Don't be greedy, Anne," he warned forcefully.
Anne was stunned by his words as she wondered if he meant that it was greedy of her to expect his love. She knew that she had fallen for Anthony, despite the terror she was put through. At that very moment, all she wanted to do was laugh.
She suppressed the pain spreading in her chest and retorted, "Greedy? I don't even want this marriage or your love even if you throw them at my feet!"
Anthony tightened his grip on the armrest until his veins began to show and scowled at the sharp pain piercing through his chest.
Anne's heart sank at this reaction and thought, 'Is he going to hit me? He's mad because he didn't want me to cling onto him?'
She snorted.
"What are you laughing at?" He narrowed his eyes darkly.
"What else is there to say if you won't let me stay at my mom's?" Anne tried her best to suppress her anger.
'Don't even think about it!"
"I'll tell you this much, Anthony Marwood, I am killing Bianca. You can try to stop me all you want, but it won't work," Anne said.
"Leave her be," he said.
Ignoring the bitterness in her heart, she said, "You sure care about her, so why aren't you marrying her if you love her so much? Are you worried that the kids will object to it? Why don't I take the kids and leave, so that you can start a new family with her?"
Anthony scowled furiously. "I should just make you give birth to more kids!"
"Anthony, I won't let you touch me again from now on," she said with determination.
He grabbed her hand and pulled her closer. "Fighting back again, hm?"
Chapter 1104
Anne yanked her hand angrily, but Anthony's hand grip on hers like clamps, and she could not move.
Her strength did not affect him at all.
"We're legally married, and you should fulfill your obligations as a wife." Anthony's chiseled and handsome face inched closer to hers, and his thin lips pressed against her ear as he whispered, "For the rest of this life."
Anne gritted her teeth and recalled how he had never touched Bianca before, and she was baffled at how Anthony's mind worked.
Then again, who could truly see through Anthony's complex mind?
Nonetheless, at least Anne knew that Anthony had no feelings for her.
Anthony preyed on her only because of his paranoia.
The Rolls Loyce stopped at the Royal Mansion's entrance.
Anne got out of the car and looked at the castle-like mansion.
She could see again.
It was not that Anne insisted on leaving, but it was just that she could not stay by Anthony's side.
She would only get hurt from falling in love with him.
Only by getting away from him would she feel better.
Yet, Anne was no match for Anthony's forceful means...
"Mama and Papa are home!"
"I knew Mama would be home!"
"Mama!"
Anne saw the triplets running to the edge of the railing. Their little frames were only as tall as the railings, and they looked down with great difficulty.
Then, they came down from the steps beside them.
Anne hurried over.
Her heart melted when she saw the triplets trying hard to walk down the stairs with their short legs.
They were simply adorable.
After finally reaching downstairs, the triplets threw themselves into Anne's arms.
"Mama!"
Anne knelt, looked at them, and caressed their faces.
It felt as if she had not seen them properly in so long.
"Mama, Papa said you were sleeping. Why didn't you sleep at home?" Chloe asked.
"We had been looking for you for so long!" Charlie pouted.
"Did you sleep somewhere else?" Charlie doubted.
"That's right. I went to sleep elsewhere. After I woke up, I immediately came to see you." Anne looked at their adorable faces and could not resist kissing their cheeks. "Let's head upstairs."
"I'll hold your hand, Mama!" Chloe said.
"Me too!" Chris followed.
"I'll get your white cane!" Charlie looked back but did not see the white cane.
Charlie glanced around and noticed Anne was smiling at him, and he was stunned.
Anne could not help but say, "I can see now. Look..."
As she said that, Anne walked up the steps, stood at the top, and turned to look at them.
"Yay! Mama can see again!" The triplets happily went up.
Anthony thought they were too slow, so he simply carried all three and walked up.
"Papa, you're so amazing! You can carry us all!" Charlie was impressed.
"Hehe!” Chloe giggled.
"Can you carry Mama too?" Chris asked.
"Yes." Anthony looked at Anne.
Anne initially thought it was just an innocent child's rambling, so she did not pay much attention to it.
Surprisingly, Anthony actually answered.
Chapter 1105
Anne did not doubt Anthony's strength.
After all, she had experienced first-hand how strong he was.
Without saying anything, Anne turned and entered the hallway.
In the evening, Anne accompanied the children to take a bath. After that, they played on the bed, and she had no intention of leaving.
'Mama, are you sleeping with us?" Chloe was lying on Anne and playing with the bow on the neckline of Anne's pajamas, with two little feet up behind her.
'You have to sleep with us!" Charlie put his arms around Anne’s neck. "You can't leave!"
Anne thought that Charlie's dominance was really similar to Anthony's.
Then again, Charlie was Anthony's son. Who else would he look like if not Anthony?
"Mama, can you?" Seeing that Anne was silent, Chris asked again.
"Okay. I'll sleep here." Anne complied with their request.
Just as she said that, the door was pushed open.
Anne did not need to look to know that it was Anthony because the servants of the Royal Mansion had to knock before they entered the room.
"Papa!" Charlie jumped off the bed and stood beside Anthony's long legs. Then, he looked at Anthony with his big eyes shining, saying, "Papa, Mama will sleep with us tonight!'
Anthony looked at Anne.
Anne played with Chloe's little finger, pretending not to hear.
The cheeky Chloe directly said, "Papa and Mama, sleep with us!"
Anne was stunned.
’Yes!" Charlie and Chris were happy.
Anne said, 'The bed is too small and can't fit all of us."
She did not want to sleep like that.
The triplets looked at the bed, confused.
Was the bed too small?
Anthony walked to the edge of the bed and sat.
Anne looked up slightly and saw the hem of Anthony's pajamas.
'Sleep with me in our room, or all five of us can sleep here. Choose.”
It sounded as if Anthony was discussing with her, but Anne was honestly not given a choice.
She was here because she did not want to share the bed with Anthony, okay?
"Mama, no. You have to sleep with us..." Chloe pouted while wrapping her arms around Anne's neck.
"Okay," Anne reluctantly agreed.
It was only for the night, so it should be fine. Besides, the children were there, so she should not be worried.
When Anne arranged their sleeping position, she placed the triplets in the middle of the bed, separating her from Anthony.
This was much safer than putting pillows between them.
'Papa is on the left, and Mama is on the right! Teehee!" After Chloe finished speaking, her big eyes lit up as if thinking of something. "Mama, your name is also in Papa's name!"
Anne smiled. "Yes, but only half of my name. Close your eyes and sleep."
Chloe did not close her eyes. Next to her was her brother, and next to her brother was Anthony. Then, she asked, "Papa, how do you spell your name?'
'I know!’ Charlie turned over and raised his head. "It's A-n-t-h-o-n-y! Only half of Mama's name is there!"
'Lie down." Anthony pushed Charlie's head down directly.
"Ahhh! Don't touch my head!" Charlie's two little feet struggled in the air.
Anne was shocked as Charlie's head was not fully healed yet!
However, the gauze on Charlie's head was still intact when Anthony let go, indicating that he did not press on it.
Charlie's face flushed red, and he was very annoyed and angry.
Then, he turned to pull Christ. "Chris, say something...eh?"
Chris was already asleep.
'Still refuse to sleep?" Anthony did not press Charlie's head but his body down.
After Charlie was pressed down, his big eyes were still open.
Chloe was also awake and wanted to talk to Anne again.
Anthony immediately turned the lights off, and the room instantly turned dark.
"Ah! I can't see anything!" Chloe said.
"Don't turn off the lights. I don't want to go to bed yet!" Charlie said.
Yet, the adults ignored them, so they could only go to sleep.
Not long after, the sound of them sleeping soundly could be heard.
Anne hugged Chloe's soft little body, smelling her pleasant fragrance to sleep.
No matter what happened tomorrow, at least she was at ease now.
As for Anthony, she did not want to think about that.
The more she thought about it, the messier her mind was...
Not long after, Anne fell asleep.
Anthony did not sleep, looking at Anne's blurred outline, and his black eyes were darker than night.
In the morning, Anne regained consciousness, and the first thing she did was hug the children.
However, she felt that she was hugging a huge person.
Anne opened her eyes and found her hands on Anthony's muscular chest. She was so frightened that she immediately came to her senses and retracted her hands.
She met Anthony’s languid gaze and frowned, backing away.
"It seems that your eyesight has recovered." Anthony's voice was magnetic.
Anne almost forgot about this, mainly because she was too shocked to see herself hugging Anthony the moment she opened her eyes.
'Why am I sleeping in your arms?"
Then, Anne looked beside her and found that the triplets were sleeping in different positions and angles.
Chris was at the end of the bed while Chloe was next to her lap.
As for Charlie...he fell down the bed with a thud.
Anne watched him fall and could not pull him in time. "Charlie!"
She climbed to the edge of the bed and looked down.
Not only did Charlie not wake up from the fall, but he also turned over and continued sleeping.
Anne's anxious heart was finally at ease. That kid surely made her speechless.
After that, Anne got out of bed, picked Charlie up, and put him back on the bed. Then, she left the room after checking his injured forehead and ensuring everything was fine.
All her necessities were in her room, so she had to leave.
Just as Anne arrived at the room, Mia walked over and greeted, "Mrs. Marwood, you're awake."
Anne glanced at her and asked, "What's the matter?"
'Mrs. Marwood, is there anything you want to eat for breakfast? I'll tell the kitchen to prepare them," Mia said.
"No need. I'll eat anything they're preparing."
"Yes, Mrs. Marwood."
Anne entered the room, closing the door behind her.
Mia sounded like she cared for her, but Anne still felt something was wrong. After all, there were too many coincidences, and Anne could not help but be suspicious.
For example, was it not Mia who suggested she take the children out this time?
Was she really being kind, or...did it have something to do with Bianca?
Anne entered the room and stared at the bed in a daze.
Since she had lost her memory, she had been staying here, treating herself as Anthony's wife and the room as her own.
It was still fine when she was blind, but the emotional impact of her would be more evident now that she had regained her sight.
Such a 'marriage' was not what she wanted.
At the very least, she should not have fallen in love...
The air surged as if being invaded, and someone approached Anne from behind.
Anne's back tensed. She knew who it was and went straight to the walk-in closet without looking back.
Sensing Anthony walking in, Anne did not look up and concentrated on looking for her clothes.
"Are you going to avoid me like this?" Anthony's dark eyes locked on her.
Anne turned around and looked at him angrily and sadly. "Anthony, I'm already staying here. Can you stop forcing me?"
