Ch. 1161..1165: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 1161-1165
Chapter 1161
“Are you worried about your face?”
Anne did not want to admit that she was worried, but it did not make sense for her to change her attitude either suddenly, so she said, “No woman would like to have such a scar on her face.”
“So, you requested Kathryn only to change your medicine when I am around, right?”
Ripples appeared on Anne’s calm face as her body was shivering.
The dark eyes that she was staring into looked as though it was unpredictably dangerous.
It then only dawned on her as to why Anthony also requested Kathryn to change her medicine when he was around. She thought that it was a coincidence. She did not expect Anthony to know about everything.
“Why?”
Her chin was gripped tighter, forcing herself to pull her attention back.
Anne’s throat was a little dry. She swallowed her saliva, then asked, “Don’t you wish to keep me company as well? If you don’t wish to, then you may pretend that I never said this…”
Anthony then stared at her for quite a long while, then only he replied, “Sure.” He kept his gaze, but the sharpness in his gaze was no longer felt. He hunched down, his lips engulfed hers.
It was that inevitable sense of possession.
Anne’s nervousness changed to another form of nervousness.
She was furiously kissed by Anthony on the bed. It was usually not one that would end so soon.
Just when she was half bearing Anthony’s dominance and half panicking, Anthony stopped asking for it. His dark eyes stared at her intensely.
His breathing was heavy and deep, as though he was suppressing.
Anne did not even have the sheer courage to look at him.
She feared that as soon as she crossed her gaze with his, it would be reignited.
She wanted to reject him, but her voice was stuck in her throat.
It was because she knew it well enough that Anthony did not like to be rejected. Otherwise, the two instances before this would not have happened…
Anthony’s arm grabbed her back and pushed her into his arms. She heard his deep voice saying, “Sleep now.”
Anne’s body, leaning against his, eventually lax.
Anthony did not continue. Why….
She was not disappointed but surprised.
Finally, she concluded that Anthony only wanted her submission, her obedience. It had always been that way right from the very beginning.
Even if she were the one who asked for it, it would not be as bad as her resisting it.
Anne fell asleep quietly in his arms.
When she woke up, she realized that she was still in Anthony’s arms, and she thought it was still night time. She looked out the window and saw some faint light rays shining through.
It was dawn.
She moved slightly, but the hand on her waist tightened a little.
“Are you awake?”
“Yes, aren’t you going to the office?”
“The teachers will be here this morning. They have to pass my assessment.” Anthony’s voice was lazy.
Anne looked up and said, “Teachers? Isn’t that too early? The kids are barely over two years old.”
Anthony’s frowning brow then smoothed out, his dark eyes opened, and he looked at her calmly, “Only to guide them. It still comes down to their own intelligence.”
Anne did not understand how the teacher was supposed to guide the children’s talents and disagreed. She did not wish for her kids to be learning way too early.” Can’t we just wait until they are at least three years old?”
Anthony pinched her chin and said, “No, this is decided.”
He did not give her a chance to argue.
That morning, the teachers arrived. There was not one, but three of them.
Oliver led them in.
They were all female.
Two of them were wearing glasses and were dressed decently. They looked like respectable and stern teachers.
They must be very good at what they do. Otherwise, they would not have the honor of standing in front of Anthony.
Anthony was holding the information about the three teachers in his hand and numerous certificates and awards of theirs. They were really good all–rounders.
The triplets sat next to their mother and looked at their teachers adorably. Then, they looked at their Papa and Mama.
They knew what this was all about and were a little unhappy about it.
Chapter 1162
Especially Charlie, his expression was adorably fierce.
Anne noticed their expressions and was not too pleased either. However, this was already decided by Anthony, and no one could change his mind.
Anthony placed the documents down and said, “One month of probation. I am sure you already have an understanding of your students before you come in today. Not only do you have to teach my two sons and a daughter knowledge, but you should also be discovering their strengths and talents and their weaknesses. I hope that you can impress me with your education method. We will officially start tomorrow. Before this, I want to see your schedule.”
“Yes.” The three teachers agreed.
Anthony looked at the triplets. “Show your teachers around.”
“Can I say no?” Charlie asked.
“What do you think?” Anthony said threateningly.
Charlie then hopped off the couch, and Chloe and Chris followed suit. Then, they all led the teachers outside.
Anthony and Anne walked out of the hallway and stood on the staircase, looking afar, where the kids and the teachers interacted.
The triplets were naturally intelligent, had a strong sense of logic, and were extroverted, so they did not have a problem interacting with the teachers.
“Don’t worry. The syllabus would not be too heavy,” Anthony said.
Anne did not say anything.
What other opinions could she voice out? Perhaps in between the parents, it was always the father that was the stricter person.
“What are you thinking about?” Anthony’s dark eyes gazed at her face.
“Nothing, I could only stay in the Royal Mansion for now. I will keep a lookout too. If there is anything that the teachers did wrong, I will tell you.”
Anthony took a step forward and stood closer to her. His tall figure exerted an invisible pressure on her.
His palm brushed against her side of the face, which was fine, then kissed her forehead.
Anne was not too comfortable. “People can see us…”
“Who dares to?” Anthony said dominantly. He lifted her face. “I will keep you company at home.”
Anne said, “I don’t need company. Your work is more important.”
“I can work from home. Why do I need my subordinates if I have to be present for everything? Or, are you suggesting that you do not wish to see me?”
It was like a trap, waiting for Anne to jump into it.
Anne said, “No.”
Even though it was true that she did not wish for Anthony to keep her company, she could not say it. She could not even express the slightest hint of it.
“After all, I will have to return to the office as soon as I recover. By then, I will go with you in the car, alright?”
“Oliver will go to the office. You stay home.”
The only thing that Anne could do now was to manage the company. If she lost her job that provided her with the recognition that she needed, what other values did she have?
“That is my father’s company, I don’t want it to be managed by anyone else,” Anne said carefully. She even proactively pulled Anthony’s hand, “Even if I go every day, I will not spend too much time there. Or, if there are more things to attend to, I can follow your car back, isn’t that great?”
Anthony looked at her innocent eyes. Her eyes were coated with a thin film of moisture, so alluring.
He felt touched, and his hand tightened, then he pulled her closer, almost sticking her right up to his abs. “Don’t you dare do anything that will piss me off.”
Anne knew that he had agreed to it.
Plus, she could understand what he meant by ‘anything that would piss him off‘. It was all because of his scary sense of dominance.
“It is just work.”
Corentin’s associate found out about Lilian’s death and called him.
Corentin was in the office. “Dead?”
“Yes, we have investigated for over ten days, but no related person has appeared.”
“Did you do a thorough check?” Corentin’s eyes darkened. He was not satisfied with the finding.
He specifically arranged for people to keep that on the watch.
“I did. Lilian kidnapped Anne and then was ambushed by Anthony’s people. After that, Lilian was found dead, and Anne was rescued. And then, Tommy Marwood appeared,” the associate said.
Chapter 1163
Corentin tried to recall. “That is Anthony’s cousin?”
“He is.”
Corentin was aware that when they interrogated Lilian back then, she explained her relationship with Tommy.
Tommy had spent a lot of money to redeem her from the Tianya Group.
Tianya only recognized the money but never the people. So there was nothing suspicious about it.
Except that Corentin felt that things were not as straightforward.
“Is Mr. Lloyd suspecting Tommy Marwood?” the associate asked.
“Who knows? Stay in Luton, and keep investigating the Marwood family. Tommy Marwood, Anthony Marwood, they are both suspicious,” Corentin said.
“Yes, sir.”
Corentin hung up and then looked at the clock on his computer, then dialed the internal line. “Where is my coffee?”
Evan stood up and saw from the glass door that Ashlynn was lying on the table, fast asleep.
She strode across, her index finger curled, then knocked on the table. “Wake up.”
Ashlynn sprang up. She saw Evan looking at her sternly and said, “Ms. Payne…”
“It is still a working hour, and it is already past the time to make coffee for the CEO. How could you forget something like this? You are not serious about work,” Evan reminded her.
“I am sorry, I will go now…” Ashlynn stood up and went to the pantry.
She made the coffee while regretting that she had fallen asleep.
What would happen to her if she did not have his coffee on time?
It would not be too serious, would it?
She heard some footsteps, and when she turned to see that it was Corentin, her face was a little panicky.
“Did you fall asleep?” Corentin approached and asked her.
Ashlynn looked down at what she was doing, then said, “I am just a little exhausted.”
She had to serve Corentin at night and had to work during the day. It felt almost as though she worked two jobs at one time.
“I remembered that you could do that back then.”
Ashlynn’s expression was even grimmer.
She knew that Salvatore was a very energetic person back then when she was with him. Sometimes even if he had it at night, he would still want it during the day.
She could understand. After all, he was in his twenties, at his peak.
Now that Corentin was already over thirty, why was he still the same?
“I am old now. How can I be the same as before?” Ashlynn said.
“Old?” Corentin was amused. He leaned his body against the sink and looked at her sideways.
Ashlynn took one look at him. “At least I am no longer young. You don’t seem to have changed.”
“Can I interpret this as a compliment?”
Ashlynn said straight away, “No, I suspect that you are on drugs.”
Corentin reached his hand out to pinch her face. “You are my drug, my ecstasy.”
Ashlynn was not moved. “Can you control yourself a little? I cannot always fall asleep at work, can I?”
“The next time that you want to sleep, please come to my office.” Corentin’s hand let go of her face and then lifted the mug, took a sip, smacked his lips, then frowned. Coffee is not great today.”
Ashlynn really felt the urge to splash the coffee on his face.
In other words, he allowed her to sleep during the day but never to compromise his pleasure at night.
“Can I rest tonight? I am really not feeling well,” Ashlynn asked.
“Aren’t you enjoying it too?” Corentin’s amber eyes were shining with evil.
Chapter 1164
“If I am not enjoying it, will you let me sleep then? Ashlynn suppressed her temper and asked
“It’s good that you know it.” Corentin stood up and walked away with his coffee.
Ashlynn bit her lips and glared at his back silhouette. She had nowhere to express her anger.
There were even days off for day jobs, but she did not have any!
That night, Ashlynn snuck into the bathroom to take a shower when Corentin was in the study
She only wanted to finish it as soon as possible.
Halfway through, she heard the door shut, and Corentin returned from the study to the room.
Why was he so quick?
She was only shampooing her hair.
Ashlynn then briefly rubbed her hair and then hastily rinsed it off with water.
After that, she took the towel from the side to wipe her body dry. It was also a quick motion.
She then put on her pajamas and stood in front of the mirror to dry her hair.
She was drying her hair as she looked at the door.
Corentin should not be this slow, should he?
Previously, he had always made it to the bathroom within two to three minutes and forced her to shower with him and satisfy his needs.
However, now she was almost done drying her hair, but Corentin still did not enter the bathroom.
She could not help but feel odd.
She came out of the bathroom, entered the bedroom, and saw Corentin enjoying his wine on the couch.
He was still wearing his shirt and slack pants from the day. His long legs were casually folded on top of one another, and he looked relaxed.
Corentin looked at Ashlynn’s shocked expression and said, “You look disappointed?”
Ashlynn walked to the bed and sat on it. She grabbed her phone and said, “Why would I be disappointed? I thought you brought your work back into the room.”
That excuse was so lame that even she was feeling awkward about it.
Corentin stood up, and walked closer to her, then sat down next to her, sniffing her neck. “You smell great.”
Ashlynn was scrolling on her phone and did not respond. She did not want to overanalyze what he had just said.
In fact, it was such a dangerous remark…
Corentin stretched his neck, gulped his wine finish, and then tossed the glass onto the carpet floor.
Ashlynn watched the glass rolling across the floor, and her face was forcefully turned before she could respond.
Corentin’s face pressed onto hers, and kissed her lips. He was feeding her the wine in his mouth.
“Uhmm!” Ashlynn widened her eyes. She pushed him, and her phone dropped to the ground.
Corentin pushed her onto the bed, forced her to drink the wine, and only let her go after she swallowed everything.
He looked at Ashlynn, still panting, then said, “I will go for a shower now.”
Ashlynn lay on her back, her mouth filled with the smell of wine. The liquor burned her throat.
She was feeling dizzy, uncertain of whether that was because of the alcohol, or was it because of a lack of oxygen.
She finally struggled to get up when she heard Corentin entering the bathroom, her eyes filled with rage.
What was wrong with this person?
Corentin finished his shower and came out of the shower with a towel dangling loosely around his waist as though it was going to fall off anytime.
Ashlynn was sitting on the couch with her phone in her hands.
She did not have any intention, and she just did not want to go back to bed so soon.
She saw Corentin go straight to bed after coming out of the bathroom.
“Ash,” Corentin called her from the bed and looked at her.
He did not ask her to come over but instead only called her name. It was a silent threat.
Ashlynn knew his tricks.
“I am not tired. You should sleep first.”
“If I wanted to do anything, would it stop me even if you were sitting on the couch?”
Ashlynn knew clearly that it would not.
She put down her phone submissively, then wished that Corentin would let her sleep soon…
She lifted the blanket and snuck under the covers, closed her eyelids, and acted as though she was exhausted.
Chapter 1165
When Corentin got closer, she felt that there was nothing that could stop him.
It was just like it was impossible for someone not to eat the meat on his plate.
“Are you drunk already?” Corentin supported his head with one hand and looked at her.
“It’s only one sip,” Ashlynn said.
“Then let’s sleep.” Corentin placed his hand down and was about to go to sleep.
The two were lying very close to each other, especially when Corentin’s breathing all landed on her hair and face.
However, he fell silent after saying that.
Ashlynn did not dare to move at all, she waited for a long time, and figured that Corentin was asleep, then looked up at him.
His eyes were closed, but his posture was still the same. He had not moved an inch.
Could she rest tonight? She guessed so.
“What should we do?” Corentin asked with his eyes closed.
“Nothing, sleep.” Ashlynn immediately closed her eyes and never moved again.
She was afraid that Corentin would change his mind and wanted to do something to her instead.
Corentin finally opened his eyes slowly when he heard Ashlynn’s even breathing sound.
His amber eyes flashed with hints of green, like a wolf’s.
Ashlynn woke up the next morning, but Corentin was not next to her anymore. She did not know when he got up.
Ashlynn went to wash herself up. She felt alright at first when she was brushing her teeth, but she felt nauseated toward the end.
She spat out the toothpaste in her mouth and gurgled.
What was wrong?
Could it be chronic laryngitis? It shared the same symptom.
She had never considered the possibility of her being pregnant because she was always on contraception. It was impossible for her to be pregnant.
She went downstairs to the dining room. Corentin was sitting on the couch and watching TV. The TV was playing the news in French.
Ashlynn was already used to it.
She used to think that Corentin was only acting by watching the news in French.
However, one day, she was shocked when she saw Corentin speaking to some foreign officers in fluent French and German.
She was shocked that he put in so much effort to become Corentin.
His acting was flawless. Who would suspect that he was not Corentin but Salvatore, who grew up in the slum?
Corentin saw her up, rose, and walked to the dining table. The butler and servants immediately served breakfast on the table.
“Did you have a good sleep?”
Ashlynn could read his underlying meaning. “Yes, pretty good. It would be even better if it was like this every day.”
Corentin snorted. “The audacity.”
Ashlynn pursed her lips and ate her food. She did not say a word more.
She had half her porridge when she felt her stomach rumbling. She felt like barfing but immediately covered her mouth.
“What’s wrong? Are you unwell?” Corentin stopped eating and looked at her.
“No, I am too full. I don’t want to eat anymore,” Ashlynn said.
“Finish the milk.” Corentin placed the milk in front of her.
Ashlynn looked at the milk and had no appetite at all.
The feeling in her stomach was still there.
“Drink less next time.” Corentin looked at her.
Ashlynn took the glass over. The milk smelled extra strong today. She held her feelings in but gulped the milk down.
“Uhm!” She felt a wave of stronger nausea. Before she could place the glass down, she flipped it over and dashed to the toilet, vomiting everything out. “Ugh…”
Everything that she ate in the morning was expelled. She panted.
Corentin’s hand rubbed her back. “I will bring you to the hospital.”
“No, I will be fine after vomiting it out. I think I caught a cold. You know, I will always vomit when I catch a cold. I will go to the office first, Ashlynn said.
Then, she went to the hallway to get her bag.
Corentin stood in the toilet and looked at the toilet bowl. His eyes were full of suspicion.
