Ch. 1121..1125: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 1121-1125
Chapter 1121
He would always raise a hand to her or punish her in a way that she could not endure psychologically or physically.
However, at that moment, he did not return instead?
Anne could not figure out what was truly on Anthony’s mind.
“Where are the children?” Anne did not answer the question and changed the topic.
“They’re still in the study doing the homework given by Mr. Marwood! Mr. Marwood said the school is still in construction, and the children must meet his standards when the construction is finished,” said Hayden.
Anne went to the study.
Once she opened the door, she saw the triplets sitting at Papa’s desk reading and writing, and they were quite serious.
The triplets were happy when they saw the person who came in. “Mama!”
Anne walked over. “What are you writing?”
She saw that the triplets were looking at elementary school textbooks and mathematical exercises. There were even mathematical problems at a higher level showing on the computer in front of Chris.
She had always known that the three children had very high IQs, but she was in no hurry to teach them all those things. After all, they were only children over two years old.
Clearly, Anthony did not think so.
“How long have you guys been doing this homework?” asked Anne.
“Very long!” said Charlie.
“We’ve been doing it since we woke up from our afternoon nap!” said Chloe.
“Papa said we can’t play if the assignments are not completed!” Chris complained.
Anne was unhappy and her beautiful eyebrows were knitted together.
Was Anthony taking out his anger on them?
No matter how highly he expected of them, he should not have gone so overboard, should he?
“Alright. It’s almost time for dinner, so take a break,” said Anne.
“Yay!” The triplets pushed themselves off the chairs with their short legs and rushed toward Mama’s legs.
Charlie hung onto his Mama’s legs, Chris hugged her legs, and Chloe held her hand.
Anne smiled. “I can’t walk anymore.”
“You can walk!” said Charlie.
Anne was helpless. She moved her legs to walk out with the triplets glued to her body as if they were growing off of her, which looked interesting.
After dinner, Anne played with the triplets, and when she got tired from playing with them, she sat at the side to watch them play.
Not a sound came from the phone on the table, and she kept feeling insecure.
What exactly was Anthony doing?
Was he busy working at his company or at a business dinner party?
Or…
Anne’s mind was a mess and she was distracted. She kept touching the phone while wondering if she should call Anthony.
When she thought of how obsessive and frightening Anthony was, she gave up the idea…
When Mia, who was standing nearby, saw the way she looked, she knew Anne certainly had a fight with Mr. Marwood.
Otherwise, how could she not know that Mr. Marwood was not coming home for dinner?
Mia had a plan. She immediately turned around and tipped Bianca off. “Mr. Marwood didn’t return. He had a fight with Anne.”
“A fight? Really?” Bianca was completely energized when she heard that.
“Yes. Mr. Marwood still hasn’t returned yet, and Anne doesn’t even know if he is coming home for dinner. Doesn’t this mean they had a fight?” said Mia.
“That’s great!” Bianca hung up the call. That was precisely the chance for her to come between them.
She grabbed her car keys and headed out to look for Anthony.
At nine at night, the triplets had long fallen asleep.
Anne sat alone on the bed in the master bedroom.
Anthony still has not returned.
Was he that busy?
No, Anthony had never been so busy before.
Anne thought with her head hung that since she was staying by Anthony’s side, then it would be too pointless to stay in this deadlock.
Chapter 1122
She would have to face it eventually.
At the time, what was shown on the television was her and Lucas hugging each other, and that indeed would create a misunderstanding.
If she truly got angry, would she not be playing right into Bianca’s hand?
After Anne figured it out, she realized she truly could not just sit there any longer.
She got changed, walked out of the room, and went downstairs.
“Mrs. Marwood, are you heading out?” asked Hayden.
“Mm–hmm. I’ll be back in a bit.” Anne walked straight out without even stopping in her tracks at all.
Mia stood in the hallway and watched Anne leave.
She already knew what Anne was going to do.
Anne went to the Archduke Group and headed straight to the floor for the person with the highest authority.
She entered the office, but Anthony was not there.
He was not in the lounge either.
The office door was opened, and one of the employees working overtime came in and asked, “Mrs. Marwood, are you looking for Mr. Marwood?”
“Is he not in?” asked Anne.
“Mr. Marwood left at seven,” said the employee.
Seven? It was already almost ten at night.
However, she has not seen Anthony at all.
“Where did he go?” asked Anne.
“I’m not sure.”
Anne walked out of the Archduke Group, then she spaced out while looking at the bright streetlights in the pitch–black night outside.
Where would Anthony go?
Anne got in the car, took out her phone, and dialed Anthony’s number. She called him twice but nobody picked up.
Was he not even going to pick up her calls anymore?
The more the situation was like this, the more uneasy Anne felt. It was as if Anthony was truly ignoring her.
Anne thought of the bar Anthony frequented and ordered the driver to head over there.
All she could do was try her luck.
If he was not there either, then she would go to the club. She would eventually end up finding him…
Anne walked into the bar, and the lights inside were dim. There were all sorts of fashionably dressed young men and women, who were like merry wanderers of the night, in all the booths.
The atmosphere around them was filled with lustful desires.
Anne knew Anthony would not be in such a noisy place and would be in a private room instead.
She made her way through the crowd and headed inside. She had been here before.
She had been forced to come here after she was caught by Anthony the first time. She was even dressed in sexy clothing, and he got some men to humiliate her.
She had never expected that in a blink of an eye, she would be here looking for Anthony to ask him to come home instead.
There were quite a number of private rooms there, and she got dizzy looking through them one by one.
Occasionally, she saw moments of debauchery inside the private rooms with doors left ajar.
Anne was wondering if she was supposed to open the doors one by one to check.
After taking a few steps further in, she saw a well–trained bodyguard standing outside a private room. That was the bodyguard who Anne was extremely familiar with.
She was delighted. She has finally found him.
At that moment, on the other hand, Anthony, who was already slightly drunk, was sunken lazily into the couch inside the private room. He used one hand to support his face and his eyes were closed. The dim lights were shining on his handsome and indifferent face, which made him appear gloomy and temperamental.
He was like a ferocious beast taking a nap and was still filled with danger.
Bianca was crouching in front of him, putting herself in such a humble position, and was looking at the man in front of her with fascination.
This was the man she has always fancied and wanted to marry…
“Anthony, tell me, how did we end up like this? All this for the sake of Anne. Is it really worth it? Have you forgotten that she was a mistress? Just like her mother, she was shameless. Sarah even ruined your parents‘ marriage, forcing your mother to take her own life by jumping off the building. Have you really forgotten all of this? When you were at your lowest point in life, I played the piano for you over and over again. I played for the most part of the night and my fingers were all swollen. Anthony…” Bianca complained in tears as she felt wronged.
Anthony’s eyes were closed as if he was asleep and did not hear what she said.
“If it weren’t for Anne, we wouldn’t have turned out like that. We would’ve gotten married, had children, and had a happy and wonderful marriage…” Bianca still wanted to go on.
Chapter 1123
A familiar voice that made her expression change could be heard coming from outside. “Is Anthony in there?”
Bianca was furious. Anne has actually found her way here. She truly was a person who could not be shaken off!
As she looked at Anthony’s face, which had no reaction yet, a bold and vicious ideal popped into her mind.
Perhaps, Anne’s arrival was not a bad thing….
Anne pushed the door to the private room open and went in.
She immediately stopped as soon as she took a step forward and was frozen in place.
Anthony was sitting on the couch with his face hung while Bianca was kneeling beneath him. They were kissing.
Anne was stunned as she watched them. Her heart immediately beat out of her chest, her face turned as white as a sheet, and what she saw made her clear pupils shake continuously.
After Anthony felt something soft and gentle touching his thin lips, he opened his black eyes and a cold gaze immediately appeared in them.
Bianca retreated, and there was even a bashful expression on her face. “Anthony…”
Before Anthony could argue with her, he sensed something was not right in the private room. He then turned his face with his eyebrows tightly knitted.
His body abruptly shuddered and he froze in place when he saw Anne standing nearby.
His prominent Adam’s apple trembled.
“Carry on.” Anne turned around and left.
Anthony regained his senses, went forward, and immediately gripped her wrist tightly. “… Why are you here?”
Anne looked at the plier–like hand around her wrist. “I see you haven’t come home, so I came over looking for you. I’m sorry to have interrupted you.”
Anthony knew that she had misunderstood, and he felt irritable, so he said while suppressing his voice. “It’s not what you think! I was drunk…”
Anne did not want to listen to him at all because the more she listened the more disgusted she felt. She then shook his hand off with great force. “Don’t worry. In the future, no matter where you go, whether you return home or not, I won’t care about it anymore. You don’t need to explain to me either.”
Bianca hurried forward. “Anne, don’t be mistaken. I was enjoying my time here and I heard Anthony is here as well. To my surprise, he was drunk because he was in a bad mood. I couldn’t hold myself back for a moment, and… then…”
What she said only made matters worse.
Also, the provoking and smug gaze in Bianca’s eyes could not even be concealed at all.
On the other hand, If Anthony was not willing, how would Bianca manage to kiss him?
It looked like they both loved each other and Anne was the extra.
Anne held back the heartbreaking sensations in her chest. “I told you there’s no need to explain to me. It doesn’t matter to me.‘
Upon saying that, she pulled the door open and fled.
She was in such a hurry as if staying a second longer would make her throw up!
Anthony was frozen in place, and he felt hard to hold back his pent–up frustrations. Did she say it did not matter to her?
He felt his heart squeezed tighter inch by inch, he could not breathe, and his expression was extremely darkened.
Bianca was slightly frightened by the atmosphere in the private room. The way Anthony looked as he stood there without moving was very scary, which made her say cautiously, “Anthony, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect Anne would come here. Otherwise
“What were you doing earlier?” Anthony’s voice was terrifyingly cold.
“I…couldn’t help myself,” said Bianca.
“Do you not understand what I said?” Anthony’s expression was eerily cold.
“Anthony, is this my fault? You’ve canceled your engagement with me because of Anne. Do you know how terrible I feel? I was extremely heartbroken when I saw you drunk. I am the only one in this world who cares about you. Look at Anne. Even if she saw us getting intimate, she also behaved so indifferently. The person she liked is certainly the Principal of Pinnacle Academy…”
“Shut up!” Anthony bellowed.
Bianca was so frightened that she shuddered and took a few steps back.
“Stop the car,” Anne ordered the driver.
The turn signal blinked as the car was stopped at the side of the road.
The driver saw that Mrs. Marwood had no intention of getting out of the car, and he had no clue what she wanted to do.
The only thing he knew was that her mood had already been off after she got into the car. She kept looking out the window as if her mind had wandered off elsewhere.
Unexpectedly, as the time ticked away little by little, Mrs. Marwood remained silent.
Just when was about to say something as he could not hold it in anymore, he heard her saying, “Go to the residential area I used to stay in. I don’t wish to return to the Royal Mansion.”
The driver did not understand the reason, but he could only follow her orders and go to the residential area filled with all the ordinary people living in it.
Anne did not bring the keys, so she called someone to get the door unlocked.
As it was already very late, the locksmith was already asleep. However, he was woken up by her phone call, so his attitude was not too good when he came to unlock the door.
Anne knew her request was a tall order, so she did not say anything to refute him.
She even thanked him after he opened the door for her.
The apartment had been cleaned in the past, so it could not have been that dirty. However, it should not be this clean either.
It was as if someone had been coming over to clean up the place all the time.
Anne did not care about it. She went to the room, closed the door, and sat on the bed helplessly.
How could she go back? She would feel disgusted at the sight of Anthony.
Ever since she lost her memory, Bianca had been sticking around her like a flea, which made Anne witness the ‘frequent exchanges between Bianca and Anthony.
Anne was saddened, but she held it in and chose to trust him. After all, she had not seen it with her own eyes.
However, she had an epiphany after everything that had just happened.
What Bianca flaunted to her in the past was not all fake.
If she had not appeared at that moment, Anthony and Bianca might have gotten into the same bed together.
That fondness for him deep down was truly ridiculous. Her heart, which had been trampled on, was throbbing in pain.
‘Don’t be sweet on Anthony anymore. Don’t you know what kind of person he is? That’s hell. It won’t end well for you…‘
Anne laid on her side on the bed and faced the window. She closed her eyes, but she was not sleepy at all.
Just as she was feeling drowsy and about to fall asleep, she seemed to hear the door to her room move.
She turned around and saw the shadow that appeared in the room, which had driven out the brightness coming from the only light and darkened the entire room.
“You’re in the wrong place, aren’t you?”
“Who allowed you to come here?” Anthony was standing under the light. His black eyes were cold and sharp, and his breath was suppressed.
“Myself.” Anne laid on the bed without the intention to get up at all, and she looked at him with her face turned sideways. “But why are you here? Didn’t you keep Bianca accompanied? You’ll make her sad like this.”
Anthony held back the rage he felt within. “I was drunk. I didn’t know she leaned over.
“I told you there’s no need for you to explain to me.” Anne calmly looked toward the window. “I won’t return to the Royal Mansion anymore in the future. Whether I’ll be staying in this residential area or my mom’s mansion, it’s my freedom. As long as I don’t have to stay together with you. I hope that you won’t force me.”
Anthony’s expression became gloomy. He pressed one of his long legs against the edge of the bed and he put her under him. His big and tall body blocked the light on the ceiling and cast a show on Anne’s body.
“Are you done?”
Anne looked at the furious black eyes above her indifferently. “Anthony, I only have one request now.”
“What is it?”
“Serve me the divorce papers.”
Chapter 1124
“Anne, you’re overthinking it, aren’t you?” Anthony’s black eyes were filled with viciousness.
Anne also felt that she was overthinking it.
In the past, when she did not have the papers, she had no way to make her own decisions. She was in the palm of Anthony’s hand, and she had no human rights at all.
However, even so, she still could not help but say it out loud.
The result that she got did not make her feel relieved. Instead, she felt something heavy weighing on her, which made it hard for her to breathe.
“Whatever. With or without the papers makes no difference to me anyway.” With her face turned to the side, Anne’s gaze listlessly landed at the side.
It truly made no difference, did it not?
She was unable to escape anyway.
It certainly made no difference to Anthony.
A marriage certificate was simply a joke and it only suited people like Bianca.
“Let’s go!” Anthony’s gaze was restrained. He got up, pulled her, and forcefully dragged her out of bed.
“Let go of my hand!” Anne reacted very strongly.
Anthony did not expect her to react like that, and he let her hand slip out of his grip…
“Ah!” Anne fell backward, but a corner of the nightstand was right behind her. If the
back of her head were to knock on that corner, she would die.
Anthony felt his chest tighten, and he rushed forward, hugged Anne’s waist, and pulled her into his arms. Only then the disaster was averted.
Anne’s breath was unstable, and her face was ashen. When she regained her senses, she pushed away Anthony’s arms that were wrapped around her. “Get out!”
Anthony looked extremely upset. “Enough is enough!”
Anne looked angry.
“Forget that Bianca and I have kissed. Even if I slept with some other woman, you
also have to endure it!” Said Anthony, then he turned around and left. The door was slammed shut.
Anne simply stood there. She could not believe what Anthony said. His words rang in her ears and were about to shatter her heart.
Waves of sorrow rushed into her eyes as if they were about to wear away her tears.
It was after she forced herself to suppress the pain that the tears did not stream down her face.
She sat at the edge of the bed in a daze.
Yes, she should not have fallen for Anthony. It was not worth it, to begin with.
He was the most powerful man in Luton with great ambitions, and he was vicious and merciless. Without a doubt, falling in love with such a person was simply forcing herself into a dead end.
She should not have…
Anne did not sleep for the first half of the night. It was during the later part of the night that she closed her eyes and drifted off. She did not even know if she had truly fallen asleep.
In any case, she was dazed the whole night.
When she opened her eyes again, it was already very bright out.
She sat on the bed in a daze and felt her body very exhausted.
She grabbed her phone from the nightstand and took a look at the time. Were the triplets looking for her at home at that moment?
Anne pulled away her covers and got out of bed. She walked out of the room but she stopped in her tracks.
Anthony was sitting on the couch while holding his phone. It seemed like he had just finished a call with someone.
Anthony’s black eyes looked over. They were so deep and hard to predict.
She has no clue when he had been sitting here or if he simply did not leave.
Anne calmly retracted her gaze and went to the bathroom to wash up.
She looked at herself in the mirror. She truly looked quite terrible as if she had fallen ill.
Her gaze became depressed. Was there a need for this?
Everyone who lived in this world would gain some things and lose some things. Was that not very normal?
In fact, there was no difference compared to the time she was trapped by Anthony in the past.
She brushed her teeth, and when she was washing her face, the bathroom door was opened without her permission. “Have some breakfast.”
Chapter 1125
Her apartment was very small. It could not even be compared to one of the bathrooms in the Royal Mansion.
Therefore, when the door opened, the amazing smell of the food on the living room table reached Anne’s nose.
Anne did not respond. She just carried on washing her face, grabbed a piece of tissue to dry off the water, and then walked past Anthony while looking straight ahead.
She went to the room to grab her phone, then she directly walked off.
However, before her hand even touched the door, she was pulled away by a pair of hands with powerful force.
Anne gasped in shock and she almost bumped right into Anthony’s solid chest.
“I asked you to have breakfast. I didn’t say you can leave.” Anthony’s face was cold and tense. There was a hint of mercilessness in his tone.
Anne angrily shook off his hand, but she did not succeed this time. Instead, the grip of the hand around her wrists tightened and her bones were painfully squeezed.
“Is there a point for you to force me like this? I don’t want to eat with you. I can have breakfast at my office as well. Alright?”
“Stop making a fuss with me. My patience has its limits!” Anthony directly dragged her to the table and made her sit.
Anne was not as strong as him. To be more precise, while being controlled by his terrifying strength, Anne did not even have a chance to resist at all.
Anthony would always succeed if he forced her.
Anne had no appetite at all as she faced the feast of breakfast in front of her.
However, she knew that if she did not have any, she would not be able to step out of this door.
When Anthony sat down and shot her with a threatening gaze, Anne picked up the spoon in front of her and ate her breakfast.
When Anthony saw her face looking repulsed when she was forced to accept, his mood got even worse. Not only was his irritation through the night not eased, but it got more and more uncontrollable.
“You should no longer be angry after one whole night, right? If there’s really something going on between Bianca and me, the current Mrs. Marwood would have been her.”
“I can return the position of Mrs. Marwood to her.” The word she used was ‘return‘, not ‘let‘ her have the position or ‘give‘ the position to her.
Anthony looked livid. His black eyes stared at Anne coldly as if he desperately wanted to tear her apart.
There has never been a woman who dared to disobey him like that!
Anne would not dare to do so in the past, but she was truly getting bolder and bolder.
Anne put down her spoon and lifted her head. When her eyes met Anthony’s cold black eyes, her pupils shook a little.
She took a breath and said calmly, “Master, I’m not suitable to be Mrs. Marwood. There are plenty of people fighting for it. Can I just be your younger sister? Just like when I was twelve, just pretend that
I’m a naive person that doesn’t exist.”
A terrifying smile suddenly appeared on Anthony’s face. He pinched her chin and lifted it a little. “Have you seen any siblings having children together? You really can say anything for the sake of escaping me.”
Anne was panting as she endured his sharp and dark gaze.
Because of Anthony’s tricks, because of the triplets, she was completely trapped.
“Just do your part as Mrs. Marwood properly. Don’t piss me off, alright?” Anthony stuffed the spoon back into her hand. “Let’s eat.”
Anne gripped the spoon so tight that her knuckles turned white.
“I’m full already.”
“You are too little. Have a little more.” Anthony was forceful.
Anne truly wanted to flip the table!
In the end, she still did not do so because she did not have that confidence.
All of her strength was suppressed by Anthony.
Anne only went downstairs around ten in the morning, and she rode in Anthony’s Rolls Loyce.
However, she appeared to be very quiet and she kept looking out the car window as if there were no one else in the car.
Anthony has been holding himself back as well this whole time.
Otherwise, once he exploded in anger, the situation would be out of control.
When they arrived at the entrance of her company, Anne got out of the car and was prepared to leave without looking back at all.
However, her wrist was held tightly by Anthony. “I’ll come and pick you up when you get off work. We’ll return to the Royal Mansion together. Five in the evening.”
Anne did not say anything. The grip around her wrist was loosened. She then got out of the car and walked straight toward the building.
