Ch. 1526..1530: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 1526-1530
Chapter 1526
Ashlynn looked surprised when she heard it. This was far more complicated than she had ever imagined.
Therefore, it was very normal for Corentin to not be able to help.
Which was why she did not say anything anymore.
She believed Anthony could resolve this problem.
It was just that the process would probably be very complicated...
"I have another tea to spill." Corentin seemed like he had learned some interesting secret that he wanted to share with her.
"What?"
"That woman in the hospital is Anthony's lover."
"What?" Ashlynn was shocked. "Isn't she Anne's friend?"
"With a net worth like Anthony's, the King of Luton, so what if she's her best friend? When Anne wasn't around in the past two years, he had been keeping her!"
Ashlynn was furious. She did not expect that such a shameless matter would exist.
"Does Anne know?"
"She knows."
"Did she not have any reaction?" Ashlynn was confused.
Her friend and the father of her children were romantically involved. No matter how one were to think about it, it was still a very disgusting thing, was it not?
At that moment, Anne agreed to stay by Anthony’s side. Was she putting up with such grievances for the sake of the children?
However, Anne did not look like she was being forced.
She felt something tighten around her hand, then she was pulled over by Corentin. "So don't blame me for being merciless. My hands are indeed tied..."
Ashlynn looked upset. "I was so polite to her at the hospital just now."
Corentin chuckled, pulled her over, and focused on caressing her tender cheeks. "Being infected with the virus is the best punishment for her. Don't you think so?"
Ashlynn despised Lucia, but she did not have the heart to curse her.
It was not right for her to either agree or disagree, so she kept quiet in the end.
The two pairs of adults and three lively triplets were sitting at the dining table during dinner.
Chloe sat next to Ashlynn and kept behaving like a baby to her, which was so adorable.
Ashlynn liked the triplets very much. Her heart melted into a puddle when she saw them.
However, Anne did not mention having a child. The matter of having Corentin's child has always been a thorn in Ashlynn's side. It would probably be a trauma for the rest of her life...
On the other hand, Corentin's eyes were always smiling calmly when he watched Ashlynn interacting with the triplets.
Even when it was time for bed at night, Ashlynn was in Chloe's room and playing a role-playing game with her.
"It's already very late. It's time for bed," said Ashlynn after she looked at the time.
"Time really flies..." Chloe pouted her little lips.
Ashlynn stifled a laugh, then she gently pinched Chloe's cheek. " Why are you so cute?"
Anne came in and said helplessly, "Even if you don't want to sleep, your grandaunt is tired from sitting in a car the whole day."
"Ah, Mama..." Chloe, even more so, did not want to go to bed anymore when she saw Mama. She directly hugged her mama's neck. "I want to sleep together with Grandaunt tonight."
"There's no use even if you act adorable. Sleep on your own." Anne almost gave in.
She would be defeated as soon as she got distracted.
"I'll sleep with her. Corentin will be fine with it," said Ashlynn.
"Don't spoil her," said Anne.
"I hardly come over. It's me who wants to sleep with Chloe," said Ashlynn.
"Mm-hmm. Papa always fights us for Mama. He never lets my brothers and myself sleep with Mama. How bossy!" Chloe complained weakly.
Anne was burning red in the face because of what Chloe said. " Alright, alright. I agree."
"Are you shy, Mama?" Chloe asked with her head tilted.
Anne was speechless.
" Pfft!" Ashlynn could not help but burst out laughing.
Anne simply could not do anything with her.
Chapter 1527
Then, Anne thought of something and asked, "Did your brothers get in trouble at school?"
Chole let out a soft gasp and denied in hurry. "I didn't tell!"
Which meant that something truly happened.
"What’s the matter?" asked Anne.
"It's just...that there's a boy in class who often bullies another timid boy, and he even pushed the boy to Charlie's side, which the boy then bumped into Charle's desk. Charlie got angry, so he kicked the boy hard a few times..."
When Chloe was telling her on this end, Charlie and Chris, on the other end, were called to the office to face their greatly dignified Papa.
They were standing in a respectful manner and obediently recounting what had happened in school.
"Is that everything?" Anthony asked in a deep voice as he glanced at both his sons with absolute pressure.
"There's no need for us to hide anything. You'll find out as soon as you look into it," said Chris.
Anthony sneered. "You guys are quite clever."
Both the children did not make a sound. They were feeling uneasy and wondering if they would be punished by Papa.
"We're already all grown-up. Can we not get time-outs anymore? It's as if we're children," Charlie requested.
Anthony was speechless. 'Are you that much older?'
There was a knock on the door at the right time, and Anne walked in. As expected, her sons, who had originally run out to play and had yet to return to their rooms, were being disciplined in the study. "What's the matter?"
The atmosphere in the study was not too good...
Both of her sons' eyes lit up when they saw Mama as if they had seen their savior. However, even then, they still did not dare to go forward without permission. Their bodies shook a little and they held themselves back.
"I heard it all from Chloe. If you want to...discipline them, you can do that. Uhm. In any case, I'll first go back to the room to wait for you..." said Anne, then she turned away and left immediately after.
It was as if she just came in to take a look because she was just passing by, and she did not have the intention to rescue her sons at all.
The lights in both of her sons' eyes turned miserably dull as the door to the study closed.
'Could it be that Mama was not here to save us?'
'Why?'
Anthony saw through what was on their minds as it was clearly written on their faces!
"Were they injured?" asked Anthony.
"...They injured their heads."
"They were bleeding..."
Anthony's deep black eyes glanced at them. "Good job."
'What?'
'What?'
Both the children were stunned. They did not dare to believe what their papa said. 'Is it not going to punish us anymore?'
'Did we do nothing wrong?'
"Charlie, others bumping into your table is not enough grounds for you to get so angry. Was it because you saw your classmate being bullied that you raised your hand at the others?" Anthony has asked a question, but he knew his sons.
Charlie's little face immediately reddened. "Hmm...that's not really it..."
Even at that moment, he was still putting up a prideful front.
Anthony did not expose him. "Go to bed. It's very late."
"Goodnight, Papa!"
"Goodnight, Papa!"
Both the children left the study with an admiring gaze.
Anne did not shower after she returned to the room. She was mainly distracted. She has already forgotten that she still has not showered.
Anthony was doing his duty as a parent to discipline the children.
Alright. She was still afraid that Anthony would punish them too hard, which was why she appeared in the study.
Anthony could probably tell, could he not?
Just when Anne was sitting on the couch with her mind running wild, she felt a movement in the air and saw Anthony coming in, so she stood up. "Is everything taken care of?"
Anthony walked forward. The air to him was forcing Anne to retreat without any other choice. Her heels were forced to edge and she collapsed on the couch. She then looked in a daze at the shadow that was towering over her.
Chapter 1528
Anthony pinched her chin, lifted it up, and forced her to keep her face lifted, exposing it under those pair of sharp black eyes. "Do you think I’ll punish them? You're wrong. I only want to punish you."
"Wha-...mmm!" Anne's words were blocked by Anthony's domineering kiss as soon as they were about to leave her mouth.
His position, which was facing down from above her, was domineering and mighty from all aspects, which left nowhere for Anne to escape.
The rapid breathing and alluring heartbeats made the temperature in the entire room shoot straight up.
It was after she was kissed from the inside out that he let her go while wanting more.
Anne almost fainted due to lack of oxygen, so she breathed deeply to inhale large amounts of oxygen.
"Let's take a shower together." Before she fully came to her senses, her body suddenly felt lighter, and she was carried into the bathroom in Anthony's arms.
A child's body was absolutely like a small burner. Ashlynn was woken up at night due to the heat.
It only occurred to her when she tried to grab her phone on the nightstand that her phone was in the other room that was arranged for her and Corentin.
She gave it a thought, and since she could not sleep anyway, she should just go get her phone.
That way, Corentin would not be disturbed should her family call her phone.
She got to the door of the room, turned the knob, and entered.
There was a little bit of light coming from the bedroom. Just as she was about to walk over, she heard someone talking in there.
Corentin was the person who was sleeping here, so of course, it could only be him.
Was he on a call?
It was already almost one in the morning. What could the urgent matter be...
"If someone were to find out, you guys should know what my temper will be like." Corentin's deep voice was suppressed and it was filled with ferocious aggressiveness.
Ashlynn walked into the bedroom. Corentin, who was standing in front of the window wall, saw in the glass that someone had appeared. His ambered colored eyes froze slightly, then he ordered the person on the other end of the call, "Call me when you have a lead."
Upon saying that, he ended the call. Then, while he walked closer to Ashlynn, he tossed his phone casually on the couch. "Why did you come over? You couldn't sleep?"
Ashlynn glanced at the phone at the side. "Who was on the phone with you when it's already so late? What do you mean if someone were to find out?"
"It's my subordinate. It's what Anthony asked me to do—to investigate leads regarding Tommy. If we were found out, then we would be alerting the enemy," said Corentin.
There were no traces of him being sheepish or putting up an act on his face at all. He was as cool as a cucumber.
Ashlynn was only half convinced. Corentin saw her reaction, so he had no choice but to say, "How about you call the number and ask? 11
"No need." Ashlynn looked up. There was no sense of security at the bottom of her clear eyes. "Corentin, you won't do bad things behind my back, right?"
"I see. You couldn't sleep because you're worried about this." Corentin put her in his arms, and his face brushed her soft hair. "I won't. Don't worry. I'm a changed man. Haven't you witnessed it all this while?"
"...Mm-hmm." Ashlynn did not say anything else.
She asked herself deep down, 'I should believe Corentin, right?'
"Alright. Since you're here, let's go to bed together." Corentin carried Ashlynn to the bed.
"No. I told you I'm sleeping with Chloe." Ashlynn remembered why she came. "I just came to take my phone..."
"You're already on my bed, yet you still wish to run away?" Corentin swooped down and pinned Ashlynn down tightly.
Ashlynn was unable to fight against Co rentin's great strength, in the end, so she accepted her fate and fell asleep.
After Ashlynn got out of bed the following morning, the first thing she did was go to Chloe's room to take a look. However, the triplets had already woken up on time and were already having breakfast at the dining table at that moment.
Only Corentin and his wife, as well as the triplets, were at the dining table that morning.
Anne and Anthony have yet to get out of bed.
That was something very normal at the Royal Mansion.
Even the triplets were used to it, so nobody would mention it.
Chapter 1529
It was nine in the morning when Anne got out of bed.
There was no sign of Anthony next to her anymore.
Anne felt extremely embarrassed when she remembered that they had guests over.
It was all Anthony's fault. Why could he not control himself at all?
It was forever one last round with him...
She lifted the covers and got out of bed. As soon as her toes touched the carpet, a figure entered the bedroom.
Anthony, who has a tall figure, came in carrying a tray of food. " You're awake? Just in time."
It was as if he was bringing her food right on time as he knew the precise duration of her sleep like the back of his hand.
Anne looked at him as he put the food one by one on the small dining table and then placed it on the bed. "There's no need for you to get out of bed. You can just have them in bed."
"Where are Ashlynn and Corentin?" Asked Anne.
"They're still here. They would probably be leaving after lunch.
You can go look for them after you finish this." Anthony sat down at the edge of the bed.
Just as Anne wanted to say something, the phone on the nightstand rang.
She was stunned for a moment. She grabbed the phone and saw that it was Lucia who called.
She was probably going to ask her when she would be going to the hospital.
When she answered the call, before she said anything, she heard Lucia's frantic voice coming from the other end of the call. "Anne, help, save me. Someone is trying to kill me. Hurry up and come save me..."
"What?" Anne was still confused.
At the same time, there was a knock on the door and Hayden's voice could be heard. "Mr. Marwood, your phone kept ringing in the study. I've brought it over for you."
Anthony's gaze deepened as he glanced at Anne. He got up, opened the door, and accepted the phone that Hayden brought to him.
It was his bodyguard who was called.
He then returned the call. "What's the matter?"
"Someone attacked Lucia. It was a woman."
"I'll go over now." Anthony hung up the call coldly and walked toward the bedroom.
Anne was still on a call from Lucia. When she saw Anthony coming over, she asked in a hurry, "Did something happen at the hospital? 11
Anthony helped her end the call, touched her face, and said, "I'll make a trip there. You stay at home."
"The person who was sent over must be one of Tommy's assassins. It's too dangerous for you to go over. Let me follow you."
"No. His target is you. It's enough for me to go and handle this. Be good and stay at home, alright?"
Anne walked out of the room, stood at the balcony, and looked down from it. She watched as the black Rolls Loyce drove out of the Royal Mansion.
She was protected, but she was no longer the same as the person in the past.
However, Anthony still took her as a weak and powerless girl.
"Anne." Ashlynn walked over from behind. "What happened?
Corentin has left with them. I asked him, but he only asked for me and you to stay put."
"Someone attacked Lucia," said Anne, "it's going to be fine."
Ashlynn saw that she was worried, so she asked, "Anne, are you and Lucia close? Lucia...I've seen her before when I was still your assistant, haven't I?"
"Yes. She was a colleague from the Aesthetic Clinic."
Ashlynn thought about it. If that was the case, then they did not have that close of a relationship either.
They were just former colleagues.
How could Lucia do such a thing if their friendship were truly that good?
She did not ask Anne about the relationship between Lucia and Anthony.
Was there a need to ask about such a thing? It would only upset her.
Also, it was not appropriate to ask about it at that moment either.
Anne was clearly distracted.
"Ashlynn, stay here. I'm going to go over," said Anne.
Ashlynn realized that she wanted to go to the hospital, so she could not help but stop her. "Don't go. Other than Anthony, there's Corentin there as well. Nothing will happen."
"It's fine." Anne pushed Ashlynn away and rushed straight down the stairs.
She was still worried.
Tommy was more scheming and vicious than she imagined. What if Anthony were to be at a disadvantage?
Chapter 1530
If she were to stay there, she could give him a hand.
Anne left the Royal Mansion in a car.
However, as soon as she left the radius of The Curve, she was marked.
"Mrs. Marwood, someone is following us," said the driver after he found out.
Anne looked at the car behind them from the rearview mirror, and there was indeed a car tailing them.
It was unknown if the person had noticed that they had spotted the car, but the car tailing behind them suddenly sped up.
Anne's driver sped up as well.
Every single car at the Royal Mansion was luxurious cars with excellent performance. Once the driver sped up, he shook off the car behind them very soon, and the car was no longer in sight anymore.
Just when he thought he had shaken the person off, a woman appeared right in the middle of the road in front of them. She just stood there and faced the speeding car head-on without caring about her life at all.
Anne remembered that woman. She was an assassin from Tianya.
The driver did not intend to slow down at all until he saw that woman whipping out her gun.
"Watch out!" Anne shouted in a hurry.
"Don't worry, Mr. Marwood. This car is bulletproof."
After a bang, the bullet shot out of the gun and hit the windshield.
As expected, they only heard a thud, and there was not a scratch on the glass at all.
The driver still did not slow down. It was as if he did not take the person in the middle of the road as a living human being, and was going to knock her over directly.
The woman did not dodge either. She directly charged forward and jumped before she was knocked over.
Then, a loud bang could be heard on top of the car.
However, nobody dropped down.
That meant that the person was on top of the car and firmly holding on!
After the driver realized this problem, he tried to use all sorts of ways to shake the person off the car through inertia.
However, nothing succeeded.
"Stop the car!" Anne has a sense of foreboding. "Quickly!"
"But..."
"The car will explode!" Said Anne.
The driver's expression immediately changed and he hurriedly slammed on the brakes.
As soon as Anne opened the car door, the person on top of the car immediately stuck her leg in and kicked Anne's face.
Anne grabbed that leg and dragged her out from the other side of
the car. Just when only the woman's head was left in the car, she slammed the car door forcefully.
The woman raised her hand to block the door and threw out a throwing knife at the same time.
Anne had no choice but to let go of her leg and take a few steps back.
The woman stood up properly again, and there was a vicious expression on her face. "We've met again."
The driver threw himself in front of Anne. "Mrs. Marwood, just leave."
"This has nothing to do with you," said Anne, "stay away from us."
The driver was slightly confused and was speechless.
He could not do such a thing either.
He did not see how Mrs. Marwood violently dragged the assassin from one end to another, but if he did not do anything, and something happened to her, he would never be able to compensate even if he had ten lives to give!
While he hesitated, the assassin reached out her claws and aimed for the driver's neck.
The driver, who had been trained, still could not compare to the professional skills, so he was slightly slow to react.
Just when he saw that his neck was about to be broken by that hand, his body was pushed away by a force.
When he turned his head around, he saw Mrs. Marwood, who was fighting with the assassin, was not losing at all.
Both of them were almost as strong as the other, and their punches were just as vicious as the other.
The driver did not dare to waste any time and he hurriedly called Mr. Marwood.
Anne suffered a violent kick to her stomach. When her body fell backward, she raised her long leg, and the side of her shoe brushed past the assassin's jaw. The assassin's face was even distorted for a moment.
A red bloody mark then appeared on her jaw.
The assassin seemed like she was provoked. Her face looked ferocious and she threw a punch at Anne.
Anne dodged it, and that punch directly smashed the sideview mirror
All the other places were bulletproof, but the sideview mirror was not.
The assassin immediately kicked the sideview mirror off and then threw the entire thing with the broken pieces at Anne.
