Ch. 1451..1455: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 1451-1455
Chapter 1451
“I’ll take you there.”
Anne did not know why he was so persistent. It was like if she left him, she would disappear.
In fact, she would not leave without seeing the children.
Could Anthony not have thought about this with his IQ?
What a strange person.
Anne did not say anything more and left the Royal Mansion in Anthony’s Rolls Loyce.
She went to Sarah’s mansion.
After she got out of the car, Anthony did not follow her and just watched her enter the park.
The moment Anne entered, she found that not only were there no weeds and chaos, but it was clean and tidy. The flowers and plants in the flower beds did not look withered.
There was no trace of dust everywhere, and there was a refreshing smell in the air.
It was clear that it was cleaned every day.
“Miss?”
Anne turned and saw that the housekeeper was still there.
Who paid her wages when Anne was gone?
“Miss, you haven’t been here for a long time.” The housekeeper did not seem to know what had happened to Anne. She knew that Anne had not been here for a long time.
“I thought you were gone,” Anne said.
“You didn’t tell me to leave, but I’m afraid to leave without your permission,” the housekeeper said with a
smile.
Anne realized that it must have been Anthony’s order for her to stay. Otherwise, anyone would have left. without pay rather than risk going hungry.
“Miss, will you be eating dinner here tonight? I’ll go and start preparing,” the housekeeper asked.
Anne thought that the children would not be returning early, so she might as well go back after eating rather than feeling anxious about being alone in the room with Anthony.
She nodded in agreement.
The housekeeper happily went to prepare dinner.
Although it was still early for dinner, the housekeeper was happy to have something to do.
Anne wandered around, thinking about when she lived with her mother.
Everything was different now, and so were the people. She felt lonely at that moment.
Anne’s eyes widened as she stood on the second-floor balcony, looking down.
The Rolls Loyce was still there, and Anthony was standing by the car. She wondered if he had just looked
up and met her gaze.
Even from such a distance, her heart still clenched when she looked down.
Anne thought he had left….
Her pupils flickered for a moment, then she turned and walked back into the room, sitting down on the
sofa.
Anne wondered why Anthony did not leave. What was he waiting for? Was he hoping to be invited inside?
She considered this, then went downstairs and approached the door.
Even when standing casually, Anthony exuded an overwhelming aura with his tall, long legs.
“I’ll have dinner here, then I’ll go back to the Royal Mansion. I won’t leave without seeing the children.”
Although it seemed unnecessary, she wanted Anthony to know that she did not want to return to the Royal Mansion.
“Won’t you invite me in?” Anthony stared at her intensely with dark eyes.
Of course, she did not want to!
“I’ll go back after dinner,” she said before turning and going into the house without saying anything else.
Either way, her words were clear: she hoped he would leave.
Anne went to Sarah’s room, which was also clean and tidy.
As soon as she relaxed, she lay on her bed and closed her eyes to rest.
She stayed in the room and did not go out until her housekeeper came to call for dinner, then she went downstairs.
On her way to the dining room, her housekeeper said, “Miss, Mr. Marwood is still outside.”
Chapter 1452
Anne looked at her housekeeper in confusion. “Has he been there the whole time?”
“Yes,” the housekeeper replied.
Anne frowned slightly, wondering what Anthony meant by this. He was neither coming inside nor leaving.
If he wanted to come in, no one in Luton dared to stop him.
So why was he doing this?
This was not like Anthony at all. He was usually domineering and did things his own way.
The housekeeper asked, “Miss, do you want to invite Mr. Marwood in? There’s plenty of food, enough for two people.”
“No,” Anne answered without a second thought.
If he wanted to stay outside, let him stay!
Anthony was still there when she went out after dinner.
Under the shrouded night, his outline was clearer, tall, straight, and lonely, causing her heart to race.
When Anthony saw her coming out, his face was not unhappy but gentle, looking straight at her.
“Did you eat enough?” Anthony opened the car door and said, “The kids are already at the Royal Mansion.” Anne looked at the open car door, lowered her eyes slightly, and got into the car without saying anything.
After she got in, Anthony followed and got into the car as well.
The door closed, and the car drove away from the mansion.
The car drove at a steady speed, and Anne watched the night scenes outside the car window, not saying anything.
She knew that Anthony was hungry, so there was no point in asking.
The closed compartment was filled with an oppressive silence.
Even when he was relaxed, Anthony’s strong presence could not be ignored.
“What did you eat?”
When Anne heard this question, she felt that Anthony was trying to make conversation, and she replied perfunctorily, “A combination of meat and vegetables. I haven’t eaten the food made by my housekeeper in a long time, so I missed it a bit.”
“So, do you still want to eat at the Royal Mansion?”
Anne’s eyes flickered, and she asked herself, ‘Did she want to?”
She could not deny that when she was lonely on the deserted island, she thought about everything in Luton. When she was cold, she thought about the clothes left in the Royal Mansion, and when she was hungry, she thought about the food at the Royal Mansion.
When she was alone, she thought not only about her children but also Anthony…
However, could she admit it?
She had made up her mind never to have anything to do with Anthony again, had she not?
Saying ‘yes’ would only lead to a misunderstanding by Anthony.
“Never,” Anne replied.
Anthony did not speak, but his silence made the pressure in the car very heavy, so heavy that it was difficult to breathe.
Anne thought he was upset, but she misunderstood. Then she heard, “It’s my fault.”
Anne pursed her lips, wondering what his fault was. Had he not made her miss everything?
The back of her hand felt cold, and Anne wanted to withdraw her hand as if she had been scalded, but her palm was held tight, and she couldn’t pull away, making her frown in displeasure, “What do you want to do?”
“I really want to touch you,” Anthony said.
Anne’s heart skipped a beat for a moment.
“I feel happy even when I look at you.” Anthony’s black eyes were dark, full of affection, hoping Anne could feel it. “Anne, give me a chance and stay by my side.”
Anne could not understand the way Anthony was acting. It was not like him at all.
“What tricks are you playing?” She had to wonder.
Had her sudden departure caused his sudden change in behavior?
She remembered how he had abused her before, torturing her and leaving her with injuries.
Thinking back, her heart ached and hurt.
Anthony exerted a slight force on his hand, pulling her into his arms and holding her tightly. “No, I just miss you so much…”
Chapter 1453
The scorching breath sprayed on Anne’s fair skin, making her shiver and struggle sensitively. “You… you let me go.”
“Don’t move, let me hug you.”
Anne did not understand. Was he not already hugging her?
Why did he still want to hug her?
She had not expressed her true thoughts and planned to talk about everything after seeing the children.
So, she did not do anything and just let him hold her like that.
However, a simple hug obviously could not satisfy Anthony, and he started to feel restless while hugging her.
He kissed her neck, ears, face, and then her small mouth.
“Mmm…” Anne could not help it and poked Anthony’s ribs with force.
“Mmmmph!” Anthony snorted. Not only did he not let go of her small mouth, but the hand holding her became even tighter. His raised black eyes and the lingering, entangled gaze that was so close were deeply familiar to Anne.
She glared at him angrily, her breath full of the overpowering presence of Anthony.
The man still did not let go of her, and the kiss became deeper and deeper.
He even pushed her deep into the seat.
Anne felt like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered by him.
She turned her face away forcefully, took a deep breath, and shouted hastily, “Anthony!”
“I heard you for the first time…” Anthony said hoarsely with his head buried in her fragrant neck, and he did not continue.
Anne’s heart was pounding as she realized she could not harm Anthony. Her earlier blow was just a warning, but it had no effect.
Thankfully, Anthony simply hugged her for the remainder of the journey and did not do anything inappropriate.
As soon as the car arrived at the Royal Mansion and Anne stepped out, she saw the triplets staring at her
in shock.
Everything seemed to freeze at that moment. Anne could not move or speak.
She used to watch the children from afar, but now she was worried about how they would react to seeing her in person.
After a moment of stunned silence, the triplets walked toward her, gazing at her with disbelief. Tears welled up in their eyes as they struggled to speak, their small mouths opening wide as their tears flowed. freely.
She slowly crouched down, her lips trembling as she tried to speak.
“Mama!”
“Mama!”
“Mama!”
The triplets erupted into tears and clung to Anne, embracing her tightly.
Anne sat on the ground, seeming oblivious to everything as tears streamed down her face.
Holding the triplets close, she cried out hoarsely, “I’m sorry, Mama has returned…”
“Mama!” the triplets wailed, struggling to catch their breath.
Anne was overwhelmed by their crying and felt her heart was torn apart.
She knew that her inability to let go of her children kept her from moving on.
However, how could she bear to be separated from them? She would rather endure the pain herself…
“Hey, don’t cry, Mama is back. I’m really sorry, Mama should have come back earlier…” Anne said, her voice filled with bitterness.
Charlie hiccupped and said, “They said that Mama died. I’m going to deal with them!”
Anne knew that he was talking about the rumors circulating outside.
In an effort to calm the children, she said, “Mama was taken away by some bad people, so other people misunderstood. Don’t worry, the bad people are gone now and Mama can come back to see you.”
Chris choked and asked, “Mama won’t leave again, will she?”
Chapter 1454
“No!” Chloe reacted strongly, stamping her feet anxiously. “Mama can’t leave us, we will go wherever Mama goes!”
After two years, the triplets had grown and could express themselves more clearly. They knew exactly what they wanted.
Anne did not say that she was leaving or that she would not leave. She just tightly hugged her children.
If she could, she would not leave them for even a second.
Anthony stood behind and watched the person he cared about most. His heart tightened as he realized he could not let Anne out of his sight again.
The triplets had finally been reunited with their mother, and they clung to her, holding her hand wherever they went.
There was no room for Anthony.
However, he remained calm, knowing that as long as Anne was by his side, everything would be okay.
The triplets played football with Anne on the lawn. It was a sport they had all enjoyed together in the past, and it was clear that they still knew each other well.
Anthony joined in the game, kicking the football that rolled toward him from time to time. However, his eyes never left Anne.
She could not help feeling self-conscious under his constant gaze as it was too overwhelming.
The football flew past her, and the triplets shouted excitedly. “Papa, ball!
Anthony snapped out of his trance and ran to retrieve the ball, stepping on it and kicking it back out to the triplets.
They cheered, and Anne could not help but smile at the sight of them having fun.
“Look how happy they are to see you,” Anthony said hoarsely and turned to look at Anne. “I am too.”
Anne’s expression changed slightly, and she could not believe that he could forget the past and speak so naturally.
Could it be that he had truly changed in the past two years due to her supposed death?
As she was considering this, the phone in Anthony’s pocket vibrated, interrupting the tense atmosphere.
Anne turned to look at him, wondering who was calling.
After taking out his phone, Anthony quickly glanced at the incoming call before deciding to ignore it and returning it to his pocket.
Anne acted as if she was completely ignorant of the call when interacting with the children.
It was easy to predict what type of call it was without much thought.
Anthony never received spam calls on his phone.
After being rejected, Lucia sat by the bed, holding her phone in her hand and feeling lost.
She wanted Anthony to make time to celebrate her birthday with her tomorrow.
In the past, there was always someone to answer, and he would never refuse to listen directly. So why
was it different today?
Was he still busy this time of the day?
However, she comforted herself, thinking about how busy Anthony was.
Lucia sent a text message, determined to get a response. [Tomorrow is my birthday. Can we meet for a meal? Both lunch and dinner work for me.)
There was no response at all, like a stone disappearing into the ocean.
She thought to herself, ‘He would reply when he had the time!”
Since encountering Anthony on the side of the road near the Archduke Group a year ago, he had taken her under his wing.
She no longer had to work, had an abundance of money at her disposal, and was dressed head to toe in designer clothing.
Everyone around her, especially her relatives, was now living a life of luxury.
This fueled her vanity.
She knew why Anthony was attracted to her. It was because she looked like Anne.
Little did he know she did plastic surgery just for the sake of being noticed by Anthony.1
Chapter 1455
It turned out to be worth it in the end.
She had always been by Anthony’s side as his secret woman, but after a while, she felt it was no longer
fulfilling.
She did not want to be a secret mistress forever but rather to have a legitimate relationship as Mrs.
Marwood
This was the most coveted position for a woman in Luton.
Anne retired to the room at night to sleep with the children.
She would take a bath and then spend time with the children.
The children were so excited that they found it difficult to fall asleep.
“Okay, it’s time for bed,” Anne reminded them.
“Mama, we’re going to sleep now. Will you leave?”
“Will you disappear when we open our eyes?”
“I don’t want to go to sleep…”
Anne stroked their cute little heads and said, “Don’t worry, Mama won’t leave. She will sleep with you tonight.”
She thought the triplets would be very happy after hearing this.
However, they just looked at her with big eyes and did not say anything.
“What’s wrong?” Anne was puzzled.
Could it be that her reassurance was not enough to put their minds at ease?
Just as she was about to continue talking, she heard Charlie say, “It’s okay, Mama. Go back to your own room and sleep!”
“Well, the three of us share a room, and Mommy only has one, so it must be hard for her to sleep.” Chris and Charlie had the same idea.
Even Chloe got out of bed, took Anne’s hand, and said, “Mama, we’ll take you to your room to sleep, and then we’ll sleep.”
Anne could not believe their maturity, especially considering that she had been taking care of them all
day.
As she was being pulled forward, Chloe said, “It’s rare that we can sleep together. The bed isn’t too small….
“It’s small, there isn’t much space.”
“We can squeeze.”
Anne blinked her eyes, and she could not bear to refuse their good intentions.
When they got to the door, she realized that it was not the room where Anne had slept before but rather the master bedroom that used to be shared by her and Anthony.
Charlie opened the door swiftly, and Chloe urged, “Mama, go in and sleep!”
Anne became alert as she realized that the room was silent.
She did not feel Anthony’s presence.
This indicated that no one was in the room.
Facing the expectant and eager eyes of the triplets, Anne knew what they were thinking.
They still wanted their Papa to have a good relationship with their Mama, just as they were before.
She wanted to make it clear to her children that the past is in the past and the present is the present.
She wanted to tell them that even if she and their Papa were not together, they would always be their
children.
“Why are you standing here?” Anthony, who was not far away, walked over.
His slender figure was imposing, and his unhurried posture exuded an air of authority.
“We were just sending Mama back to her room to sleep,” Chloe explained.
Anthony looked at Anne deeply with his black eyes and said to the children, “Alright, go back to sleep now.
“Good night, Papa!” The triplets waved and ran back to their room.
They went to their rooms while looking back at them.
Seeing their Mama being pulled into the room by their Papa, the children breathed a sigh of relief.
After entering the room, Anne frowned and withdrew her hand, saying, “My room is not here.”
“If
you go out now, the children will see you,” Anthony said.
“Let them see then. The children are not young anymore. Some things need to be made clear. They are smart enough to understand.” Anne stopped beating around the bush and spoke openly to him.
“What do you mean?” Anthony asked, pretending not to understand.
Anne was angry at his question and replied, “I won’t stay here forever and I’m not your wife. It doesn’t matter to me whether I’m married or not. I just want to be a good mother.”
