Ch. 1471..1475: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 1471-1475
Chapter 1471
“Up to you.” Anthony looked at her face as though he could see enough of her.
Nothing had changed; she was still his Anne.
The subtle annoyance on her face was alluring him.
Anne turned her face around and glared at him, “How many times have I said it, do not touch me. If you touch me, I will leave. Are you not listening to me… Uhm!”
Anthony used one hand to hold the back of her head and another hand to grab her waist. His dominating and powerful lips engulfed all of hers.
Anne frowned slightly upon the suffocating feeling.
This man did not take her words seriously at all!
“You hmm…” Anne’s lips were sealed, and she could not say a word. Her body was pressed right onto the bed, and her vision turned to the ceiling above her. “Hmm…”
The more she tried to fight, the harder he kissed her.
She was wrapped around Anthony’s body and was utterly trapped.
Anne really wished that she could kill him!
She was so angry that she bit him with all her might.
The next second, she could taste iron in her mouth.
Anthony let out a soft humph, but he did not stop; instead, he kissed her harder.
Even though Anne was professionally trained, she soon found herself out of breath in the aggressive kissing, and her head was feeling heavy.
Finally, she did not even fight back anymore.
Long after, Anthony finally stopped. He pulled back slightly. His eyes were dark, as though there was a scary beast residing within them.
Anne opened her eyes slightly. Her eyes were filled with mist, her breathing hard, and her whole body was soft.
“You…”
“I will not do anything more than this, okay?” Anthony’s voice was hoarse, and his fingers caressed her little smooth face gently.
Anne looked at him. Her eyes were not moving.
She finally could not stand it anymore and hit her fist right onto Anthony’s ribcage.
Anthony whimpered in pain and then flipped over to the side.
Anne sat up straight. Her vision blacked out as her head had not fully recovered.
She panted and then stood up about a meter from the bed.
Anthony sat up too, his face twitching slightly. “You have good strength, don’t you?”
“You deserve this.” Anne did not show him any pity.
Anthony looked at her dark eyes and said, “I could easily die in your hands.”
Anne flinched slightly, her face turned to the side. “Get out, I want to take a nap now.”
Anthony stood up and walked to the door, but she still subconsciously took a step back.
She retreated and then felt very regretful.
He made it look like she was scared of him!
Anthony looked at Anne, exerting an imaginable pressure, then only pulled the door and headed out.
After the door was closed and Anne heard the footsteps fainted, she relaxed.
She sat on the bed and was surprised to find her hands and feet a little cold.
This man was too much!
He did not take what she said seriously!
If it was not for the kids, she wished that she could leave right now.
She looked into the ocean through the glass panels and asked herself, how should she sneak out?
After a nap, they went fishing at the fishing deck.
Anne felt that it was okay this way, except that she was uncomfortable staying with Anthony alone in one space.
She had to keep her guard up while they were spending time on this island.
Anthony pretended as though nothing happened and as if everything was natural as it should be.
Anne, on the other hand, felt that something was wrong somewhere all the time.
She looked at Anthony subconsciously. His silver hair was so glaring.
After that, they dived into the sea once more before returning to land.
When Anne’s feet finally stepped onto the land, she was relieved. She did not like to be trapped by Anthony on the sea.
Chapter 1472
Back at the Royal Mansion, the triplets returned to school happily.
Anne and Anthony both sent them to school together.
The triplets used to go to school on their own after Anne went missing.
Anthony would occasionally send them, but he was always grim and unpleasant.
They wished they could always be sent to school by both their parents.
Two years later, they finally got what they wished for.
After sending the triplets, Anne wanted to return to her own mansion.
She was still ‘sharing’ Anthony’s ride.
Anthony would not restrict her freedom and let her go wherever she wished to
That made Anne have a fairly good experience.
At least he was not like last time, making her feel suffocated all the time.
After the nap, she went to the Royal Mansion as though trying to avoid Anthony, who wanted to pick her up.
She thought she had come too early when she arrived at the Royal Mansion.
The triplets told their parents not to pick them up after school as they were rather independent.
Just when Anne stood by the lawn and looked into afar, Hayden came. “Mrs. Marwood…”
Anne turned around.
Hayden smiled dryly. “I am sorry, I hope that I did not make you uncomfortable by addressing you this way.”
“I think it is better for you not to. Otherwise, the future Mrs. Marwood will feel uncomfortable,” Anne reminded him.
Hayden said, “It would really be great if there is such a woman, but too bad, Mr. Marwood had never brought any woman back to the Royal Mansion. It was not because of the kids. The kids were usually at school during the day. Mr. Marwood could easily bring whoever he wanted back here.”
Anne said lightly, “You just did not know about it. It does not mean there was none. Some men did not get married not because he was incapable of it, but simply because that was
not the time.”
“I am not sure what you heard, Ms. Vallois, but I had witnessed the changes in Mr. Marwood with my own eyes over the past two years. He was very blown by your ‘departure
‘, his hair all turned silver overnight which freaked me out. So…” Hayden was still talking.
Anne was already looking at him in shock. “What did you say? His hair turned silver overnight? So his hair was not dyed?”
“How could it be dyed? The person would have to take such a heavy blow for his hair to turn silver overnight. Mr. Marwood is a strong person. Indeed, a lot of people did not believe it. Ms. Vallois, you have been back for days. Did you see Mr. Marwood going to the salon at all? It was because he was so depressed over your ‘passing’…”
Anne was stunned. Every word of Hayden’s knocked on her eardrums like fireworks.
Anthony’s hair all turned silver overnight because of her?
Why?
Why was that?
It sounded like the silliest joke that she had heard, and her internal organs were even shaking upon hearing them.
“Ms. Vallois, you are back for a few days, and I can tell that you still have feelings for Mr. Marwood. Perhaps it’s not a bad idea for you to give Mr. Marwood another chance and to give yourself and the kids another chance?” Hayden asked.
He saw that Anne did not reply and went away understandingly.
Anne was left alone, rooted in the same spot.
Her mind was still lingering on the fact that Anthony’s hair turned silver one night, and her memories flashed back.
Anne closed her eyes, and she suppressed the bad feeling.
Why was she unwilling to believe that his hair turned silver for her?
Was Anthony really in love with her? Did he care about her? If he did, why did he hurt her?
Was it solely because he was so obsessive deep down?
He would be mad if he did not get what he wanted.
However, why was her heart… wrenching?
Anne pressed her chest like she wanted to suppress the uncomfortable feeling.
Chapter 1473
The kids were not home yet, but she could hear the engine sound from outside.
She could even tell that it was Anthony’s car.
Anne sat on the balcony. Her eyes were blank, and the coffee table in front of her was full of fruits and snacks, but she did not touch them at all.
After a few minutes, she felt someone walking to the balcony, and a shadow appeared in the corner of her eye.
That was Anthony’s slacks.
Anne did not dare to look at the person, but she could not resist turning her face slowly.
When their gaze crossed and then landed on the silver hair, her heart trembled.
Anthony sat down next to her and asked, “What’s the matter? My hair is ugly, isn’t it? I will dye it again tonight.”
Anne pursed her lips. ‘Dye it again?’
Right, she always thought he dyed it silver.
She looked away to the fence. “You are home early.”
“There’s nothing much at work.”
Anne thought, did he really have nothing much to do, or did he know that she was there?
When she was zoning out, her hand on her lap was grabbed tight, and she could not help but flinch a little.
She did not take her hand back.
More accurately, she suddenly lost her energy to do so.
“Something on your mind?” Anthony’s deep voice asked.
Anne’s heartbeat was beating irregularly. “I… I need to go out of the country for a bit.”
“Tell me.”
Anne looked down. Her mind was a mess, and she wanted to escape.
Even after what Hayden said, she felt that perhaps, Anthony was still obsessive. Hayden only did not see it.
She shook her head. “Nothing, I have a friend there. I told them that I would return soon. I am just afraid that they will start to worry….”
Then, her chin was tightened and lifted, looking into Anthony’s dark eyes.
He was so near, while his breathing was so clearly felt on her skin.
It was so warm that it was almost scorching her skin.
“I can invite them as a guest.” Anthony’s eyes were about to look right through her soul.
Anne’s eyes could not stand it and felt pain even at the sight of it.
If that were before, Anthony would definitely start to question her if the friend was a male or a female.
He did not this time. Perhaps, he was holding it in…
While she was deep in her thoughts, the shadow in front of her was enlarged, and she felt a kiss as light as a feather on her lips.
Anne’s heart was beating irregularly. “Anthony…”
“I will not do anything. It’s only a kiss.” Anthony pulled back. His dark eyes looked into hers intensely.
The next second, he pressed Anne onto the back of the couch. His body covered hers, and he kissed her lips again.
“No… Don’t…” Anne was almost out of breath.
Her nostrils would be full of Anthony’s dominant breath if she inhaled.
She had nowhere to go.
She was a lost little cub.
Anthony’s gentle kiss had an underlying aggressiveness.
It was dangerous.
Anne frowned, enduring his greediness.
Her breathing was blending with his.
The air suddenly thickened with new chemistry, and she could feel the temperature of the air rising.
Just when Anthony was about to do something more, Anne grabbed his hands in shock. Her breathing was full of anxiety. “I want to go to the bathroom…”
Then, she ran away.
She entered the bathroom and was about to close the door when a hand landed with a loud bang on it.
Anne was shocked. She turned and looked into Anthony’s lethal eyes. Her hand slipped, and the door was easily pushed open.
Anthony walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind him.
Anne retreated and swallowed her saliva. “What… What are you doing here?”
Chapter 1474
“Let’s go together.”
Anne was stunned by his words for a moment and thought to herself, ‘Are we two high- school girls or something? Why are we going to the bathroom together? Besides, you aren’t even a girl! Why would a guy and a woman go to the bathroom together?’
“You can go ahead. I will go over to the other side…” Anne kept her head bowed and made way for him. As soon as she walked past the door, Anthony dragged her backward by the wrist.
“The other one is under repair.”
“Then I’m going upstairs.” Since there were plenty of bathrooms in the Royal Mansion, they could not possibly all be under repair.
Anthony stared at her intently. “Why are you scared? I won’t do anything.”
She pulled her hand away. “You are being ridiculous.” She headed outside.
Anthony did not stop her again and smiled, seemingly pleased with Anne’s reaction.
The children returned home afterward, and Anne stayed with them the entire time. After dinner, the triplets pleaded for their parents to play with them, so the two did not have a chance to be alone until Anne returned to her room after the children went to sleep.
She was about to head into the bathroom when Anthony walked inside without knocking.
Realizing that he did not knock, he said without a trace of sincerity in his tone, “Should I go outside and knock again?”
She shot him a resigned look. “What do you want?”
“Did you tell your friend?” Anthony walked over and stopped when he was two steps away from her.
Anne hesitated, not wanting Yuri to come into contact with Anthony. For someone as sharp as Anthony, he might be able to sense that something was wrong, and Anne did not want anyone in Luton to find out about what she suffered through on the island.
“She’s been living overseas so she isn’t used to the environment around here.” Anne made
up an excuse.
“So you are leaving?” He stared at her with his dark, brooding eyes like a beast attempting to control itself.
“It’s not like I’m never coming back,” Anne whispered. Her children were here, and even without Anthony’s permission, she would sneak back to see them. Moreover, she had the power to bargain with Anthony…
Anthony closed the distance between them, his shadow looming over her, threatening to suffocate her with his presence.
Anne was about to back away when he pulled her close, and she slammed against his abdomen. Sensing the heat radiating off his skin, she shivered and attempted to remain composed. She scowled and asked, “What are you…”
He bent down and rubbed his nose against hers. “I can’t sleep in my room so I’m coming to spend the night in yours.”
Anne tried her best to calm her heart. “Can you make up a better excuse, at the very least?”
A few minutes later, Anne stood in the middle of what seemed to be Anthony’s bedroom and gaped at the state it was in.
All the things had been broken, including the ceiling and the bed, as though someone had
thrown a bomb into the room.
“I wasn’t lying, was I?” Anthony asked.
Anne turned around stiffly and stared at the flawless mask on the man’s face, realizing that she was the only one who was shocked by the situation.
It was hardly logical that a room inside the Royal Mansion would turn into such a state.
“Did you do this?” This was the only possible explanation, but only a madman would do such a thing.
“This is my room,” he said, denying any responsibility.
Chapter 1475
Anne did not believe a word he said. “There are plenty more rooms here and even if
your room is damaged, you can sleep elsewhere.” She turned to leave.
“I can’t get used to any of the other rooms,” Anthony said, his eyes glittering in the dark.
Anne was about to say something when Hayden overheard them and came over. “Ms. Vallois, Mr. Marwood either stay in his room or yours. He’s probably used to it by now.”
Anne was stunned at the idea of Anthony sleeping in his room. Her heart wavered slightly when she thought of how his hair turned gray overnight but was still reluctant to share a bed with him.
“I’m going back and you can have the room, then,” she said.
When she reached the door, Anthony asked, “What are you so scared of?”
Anne stilled and stiffened before denying stubbornly, “I have nothing to be afraid of.”
Hayden shot the other servants a look, and they all left the room.
Anne watched as the servants left the room and sensed Anthony’s stare focusing on her as he approached.
As a trained assassin, she could not allow herself to face her back toward potential danger, and she turned around to face the man before him.
His eyes were filled with storms of emotions. “If you really don’t care about me, why are you so against being near me? I’m still on your mind, Anne.”
“What?” Rendered speechless by his logic, she said, “It’s impossible. That’s not…”
That could not possibly be a viable explanation as to why she refused to sleep with him.
“Is that so?” Anthony stared at her. “Anne, you are overreacting.”
Her breath caught in her chest at his words and for some unknown reason, she felt guilty as though Anthony had seen right through her. Losing her composure, her lips moved before her brain did. “Sleeping in the same bed doesn’t mean anything,” she said before. returning to her room, missing the smug look on Anthony’s face.
Once they returned to the room, they went to shower separately and went into bed afterward without saying a word to each other.
Anne kept her eyes shut, but her brain remained active and would tense at the slightest
movement.
Though Anthony had not done anything, he was still too close to her, and she regretted acting rashly, simply to prove that she was ‘innocent’.
“You can’t fall asleep?” he asked hoarsely.
Anthony had been keeping his eyes on Anne and felt complete even if he was just looking. at the back of her head. Though he could barely contain the longing coursing through his blood, he treasured what he had in the present.
Anne opened her eyes without a word, hoping he would think she was asleep.
An arm wrapped around her waist, startling her into turning around. Her breath caught when she noticed how close Anthony was.
As soon as she turned around, his lips were just within reach, and her heart threatened to
stop.
She pulled away and sighed a breath of relief.
Anthony swallowed hard and said calmly, “The teacher said that the triplets have been really happy at school lately. They have been talking about their mother to their classmates, which they rarely did in the past
