Ch. 1541..1545: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 1541-1545
Chapter 1541
Even if Anthony had said he did not have any kind of physical intimacy with Lucia in the past two years, did he truly have no feelings for her at all?
The kind of reaction Anthony had when he saw her on the phone with Lucia left an unpleasant taste in Anne's mouth.
When Anthony came into the room, Anne had already fallen asleep on the bed.
He walked up to her, took off the slippers on her feet, put her on the bed, and tucked her in properly.
After he had done all that, he watched her by the bed for a while before he left.
He got into the Rolls Loyce, and the car left the Royal Mansion. It gradually drove off into the distance until it could no longer be seen.
Anne, who had already woken up, stood on the balcony.
As she watched the car leave, the urge to cry became even more obvious.
Where was Anthony going?
Was he going to the company or was he going to look for Lucia?
She loved Anthony. That was a feeling that had already existed in the past, and it had never changed.
However, she did not dare to profess it to such a man like Anthony...
No matter how strong she was, she still had the mindset of a humble woman, and would still be worried about losing him...
She returned to the bed and laid down on her side, but she no longer felt sleepy.
After lying in bed for some time, her phone rang. She took out her phone, glanced at it, and saw it was Lucia who was calling.
Anne could not understand why she would be calling her again.
Could there be an emergency?
Anne quickly sat up and answered the call, "What's the matter?"
"Anne, were you the one who asked Mr. Marwood to come and visit me? I knew it. Even if you didn’t come, you're still thinking of me." Lucia's happy voice could be heard coming from the other end of the call.
Anne's heart immediately sank, and a sense of sorrow filled her heart. She grabbed her phone so hard that her fingers turned white.
'He stayed for a while, and asked if I have gotten used to staying here and if I have any requests...Anne, I know he's doing all this because of you. I know my own place," said Lucia.
Anne just felt hard to breathe. She could not understand Lucia's feelings. The happier Lucia felt, the more upset Anne felt.
However, she could only say, "It's nothing. These are what we should do."
Upon saying that, she ended the call in a rush.
Lucia put her phone to the side, and a smug expression appeared on her face for she had won.
Of course, what she said was all fake.
Anthony had never been to the mansion to visit her. His phone could not even be reached.
The purpose of all of these was to make Anne suffer. It would be best if she could leave Anthony on her own, then Lucia would have the chance to swoop in.
The most important thing was that it was inconvenient for Lucia to appear in front of Anthony at that moment because of her face.
In terms of tricks, how could Anne even compete with her? Anne was not good enough for Anthony at all.
Anne also did not love Anthony as much as her.
Anne could not wrap her head around what was on Anthony's mind, to begin with. Anthony was incredibly shrewd, and on top of that, she had been harmed by him in all sorts of ways in the past. At the bottom of it all, she was still not confident enough.
She could not fall asleep in the afternoon, so she went to her parents' grave with plenty on her mind.
She lit candles and put flowers at their graves.
The relationship between Nigel and Sarah was the most pitiful thing.
They have missed so many years they could have been together because of misunderstandings and because they were set up. In the end, the time they could be together was so short, 1
Finally, they were buried here.
She hoped that there would be another parallel universe where they could live together, have children together, and grow old together.
What about herself and Anthony? She kept feeling that there were too many problems between the two of them.
At the bottom of it all, it was because the time they spent together in the past was too scary...
"It was also you who came last time?"
Anne was slightly stunned. She turned her face, and she could not help but stand up as she saw Ron appear.
It has been a very long time since they last met. Other than having more gray hairs on his sideburns, Ron's appearance basically did not change much, which showed that he was not having a hard time here. He was just slightly tormented.
Chapter 1542
"You didn't expect me to still be here, did you? The three-year term is over, but maybe I have already gotten used to being here and I've also seen through a lot," said Ron as he carefully surveyed Anne. 'How are you? Has Anthony been good to you? Other than the last time, you've not been here for a very long time, haven't you? Did something happen?"
"I'm doing great," said Anne.
The person in front of her was Anthony's father and the triplets' grandfather.
Even if there was a problem, it was between Ron and his son. She has no right to interfere, and she also did not want to interfere.
After she said that, she wanted to turn around and walk away.
' Anne, do you still hate me?" Ron called out to her.
Anne roughly understood his concern. She glanced at the tombstones next to her and said, "You're not the person who caused it, so I have no reason to hate you."
Ron said, "But you treat me like I'm a stranger. I don't expect Anthony to forgive me, but I hope he could treat you well. You guys have children. If your family of five is well, then I will have no regrets."
Anne did not expect that he would have such enlightenment.
After all, Ron used to be the person who despised family the most.
Otherwise, all the mess after that would not have existed.
"When you weren’t here, I would occasionally come and light a candle for them as a gesture of my goodwill." Ron was talking about Nigel and Sarah.
"Thank you."
"No need forthat. I'm the person who has wronged your mother. Anne, will you keep staying by Anthony’s side? He cares a lot about you."
Anne did not feel much when she heard what he said. How well did Ron know Anthony?
That kind of forcing behavior he had in the past was not considered as him caring for her.
"He and I are already married, and we also have three children. I can't leave even if I wanted to, right? How far can I go? My heart will always be tied to them." Anne did not wish to tell Ron about her love for Anthony. She just told him the truth.
After saying that, she noticed Ron looking behind her.
Anne turned around in confusion and saw a black figure, which had appeared at some point, standing a meter away from her.
Anthony stood here with a cold and harsh expression on his face and a deep gaze in his black eyes. The pressure of the air around him was very low.
He looked very unusual.
Anne interpreted it as the reaction that Anthony had because he did not want to see Ron.
"Anthony, are you here to pick Anne up? She's just about to leave." Ron's words were more or less trying to please him.
It was a pity that Anthony did not show him any mercy. He walked up to him, and his tall figure made him feel incredibly oppressed.
"Stay away from her." Anthony's voice was indifferent.
Immediately after that, he pulled Anne along and left.
Anne stumbled a little as she was pulled away by him, but he gripped her hand very tightly.
It was as if he had transferred his resentment to her hand.
Ron looked at his son, who still resented him, and sighed helplessly.
It seemed that this resentment could never be resolved when he was still alive.
He turned around and saw Sarah's photo on her tombstone looked so bright. She looked like a great match to Nigel.
Did Ron regret it? Of course, he regretted it. Regardless of Sarah or his ex- wife, he has wronged them both.
After being dragged all the way to the car, Anne could not hold it back anymore and shook off Anthony's hand that was restraining her. "You're hurting me!"
Anthony was stunned for a moment, especially when he saw the red marks on her wrist, and his gaze changed slightly. He held her hand once again as he felt bad, and rubbed her wrist gently. "Is this better?"
Seeing him like that, Anne could not be mad at him anymore. After all, she could understand Anthony's feelings.
"I'm only here to visit my parents. I didn't expect I would bump into him. I'll be careful next time," said Anne, then she walked toward the car.
What she said was just like she was telling Anthony she had made a mistake.
In fact, Anthony was clear on the exact thing that he was angry about.
Chapter 1543
What Anne said to Ron made him feel waves of dull pain in his heart and made him feel so depressed that he was breathing hard.
As expected, it was still for the sake of the children that she stayed by his side.
If he were to let her go, would she return to Lucas’ side in a hurry…
Anne sat in the car while Anthony’s tall and broad back could be seen outside the car window.
She noticed him standing there and not moving at all. Just when she felt it was unusual, Anthony turned around and got into the car.
The car left the graveyard. Anne glanced at Anthony’s expression and said nothing. She just looked at the scenery that was quickly going backward outside the car window.
“You don’t want you to see me?”
His deep voice could be heard. Anne looked at him with surprise. “When have I ever said that?”
“Then come closer to me.” His tone was slightly domineering.
Anne looked at the distance between her and Anthony in confusion. They were sitting face-to-face with each other. Were they far apart?
Just when she was confused, she felt something tighten around her wrist and she was dragged
over.
“Ah…” She directly fell into Anthony’s arms.
Her lips almost pressed against the side of Anthony’s face.
However, even if she did not kiss him, her lips were still just only a few millimeters away from his
face.
She could clearly feel his hot breath.
“Hayden said you’ve gone out. I only learned that you’re here after asking your driver. Do you not want me to know your location?” Anthony’s black eyes looked gloomy.
“No…” Anne felt helpless.
“You know I won’t let you go no matter what, right?” Anthony’s deep and husky voice was right next to her ear, which vibrated Anne’s eardrum so hard that it created a ripple.
Anne calmed her heart rate which was affected by him. “What do you mean?”
Anthony did not say anything. He simply held her jaw in place and pressed his thin lips on her lips.
The softness gradually made him feel dissatisfied with the shallow taste.
He kissed her deeper and deeper and let his desire to possess her to be exposed.
When he let her go, Anne’s brain was lacking in oxygen.
Her chest was shaking because she was breathing hard.
She truly could not understand why Anthony would say that.
Was he reminding her or warning her?
He suddenly acted like that. Did it mean…that even if he has feelings for Lucia, he also would not
let Anne go?
Anne suddenly felt devastated…
“What are you thinking about?” Anthony’s gaze dárkened.
“…Nothing.” Anne did not want to say anything else.
Some things were just useless to talk about after they happened.
Just like the matter of Anthony going to visit Lucia. If she were to talk about it, it would make her seem petty instead.
Anthony’s expression became even colder and harsher when saw that Anne did not wish to talk.
His obsessive mindset was surging but he forced it down.
Anne was the first to get out of the car. Just when she was walking toward the steps, her phone
rang.
She took out her phone and glanced at it.
The incoming call was from a number that she did not save, but she knew who was calling her.
She saw the man walking over from not far away and subconsciously hung up the call.
Anthony walked up to her and asked, “Did something happen?”
“Huh? No.” Anne walked toward the hallway.
How could such a small action and subtle expression escape Anthony’s deep thoughts?
His expression darkened.
Who was looking for her? Probably Lucas…
Anne went to the bathroom, locked the door, and turned on the tap to let the room be filled with the gushing sound of the water.
She called back the number and it was immediately picked up by the person on the other end of the call, which showed that the other party was holding the phone in hand at all times and was waiting for her call.
“Did something happen?” Anne asked.
Lucas noticed she was deliberately speaking softly, so he asked, “Is it not a convenient time right
now?”
“Do you have something to tell me?” Anne did not say if it was convenient or not.
“Tell Anthony that I don’t have the intention to snatch you away from him. There’s no need for him to have someone run over my car.”
“What?” Anne was shocked.
Chapter 1544
"You may not know this but I've contacted you two days ago asking if you have time to have lunch with me. You replied but the person who appeared after that was Anthony." Lucas told her everything.
Anne instantly understood the truth of what had happened.
Anthony must have done it behind her back because her phone was squeaky clean without any texts from Lucas at all.
Anthony had gone way overboard!
"How are you? Are you alright?" Anne asked with concern.
"I've got a lower leg fracture and I'm at the hospital. I'm afraid I can't leave Luton for the time being," said Lucas, then someone else beside him could be heard saying something.
It was the nurse reminding him that it was time for him to get his shot.
It looked like Lucas was telling the truth.
There was no need for him to lie like that either.
However...
"Are you sure it's Anthony’s doing?" Anne asked.
"I can't think of anyone else I’ve offended in Luton other than him," said Lucas.
Anne could not think of anyone else either...
"Which hospital are you in? I'll go over..."
After she ended the call with Lucas, she turned off the tap and looked at herself in the mirror very helplessly.
Was it truly Anthony who did it?
If that were the case, she would be very angry.
Anne opened the bathroom door, and the tall figure standing at the door frightened her.
She did not know how long Anthony had been standing there and if he could hear her on the phone inside.
So what if he heard it? It was not like she had done anything to betray him.
Then, she calmed down and said, "I have something to take care of, so I'm going out."
"What is it?" Anthony's voice was deep and suppressed. "Was Lucas the one who called you just now? Are you going to see him?"
Of course, Anne was going to meet Lucas, but it was all because of Anthony!
"He had a car accident. I'm going to take a look," she said.
"Your husband is at home, yet you're going to meet another man behind his back. Is this appropriate?" Anthony's voice was filled with repressed anger.
Anne was upset as she looked at him. "What did you say?"
Anthony suppressed the rage that stemmed from his paranoia. "What I meant isJet's go together."
"No need." Anne's expression was cold as she turned around and left.
Anthony's expression was extremely cold when he looked at Anne's back as she left.
Anne got into the car, got to the hospital, and found her way to the ward. Lucas was alone in the ward. He was sitting while leaning back on the bed. He was holding his phone and looking at something.
When he saw Anne, he immediately put his phone aside and wore a gentle and elegant smile on his face. "You're here."
"Mm-hmm." Anne looked at the covers on the bed. His legs under the covers made it bulge up a little, but she could not see anything at all.
Lucas directly lifted the covers and let his bandaged leg be exposed. It was already in a cast.
"Is your bone fracture very severe?" asked Anne.
"No. My leg was stuck under the seat which caused the fracture. It would have been troublesome if it was shattered," said Lucas.
"If it's really Anthony who had someone do this, I won't forgive him," said Anne.
Lucas has already been so unlucky because of her. He was only inviting her for lunch. Was it necessary to use such a vicious trick on him?
Did he not think of her feelings at all?
"I think he might be afraid that you'll leave," said Lucas, "he said plenty when he came to see me that day..."
"What did he say?"
Lucas hesitated. It seemed like he was thinking if he should tell her.
At that moment, Anthony entered the ward. "Yes. If you have something to say, go ahead. I, too, want to hear them."
Anne was surprised by Anthony's appearance, and she could not help but frown a little. She already said she was going to come alone, so why did he appear?
Chapter 1545
“I have nothing to say to you.” Lucas looked upset.
That was understandable.
“I’ve watched the surveillance video of your car accident on my way here. Don’t worry. I’ll certainly get to the bottom of this.” Anthony’s gaze was ferocious.
“I only know that you said you’ll completely destroy me if I were to contact Anne again.” Lucas confronted Anthony. “Do you admit it?”
“She’s my wife. Is there a problem?” asked Anthony.
“So, if you’re the one investigating this, would the result be the truth or would you just have
someone take the blame? These kinds of tricks are nothing new in high society, especially to you, Anthony.” Lucas looked calm.
“Do you have evidence?” asked Anthony.
“For the time being, no,” said Lucas.
“Then, accuse me only when you have the evidence.” Anthony grabbed Anne’s hand and dragged
her out of the ward.
“Anthony!” Anne shook his hand off when they got outside. “Are you the one who did it?”
“You believe him?” Anthony’s expression was cold and harsh.
Anne bit her lips. It was hard for her to judge.
The main thing was that she knew Anthony all too well. He could be so vicious that he would not give a damn about anybody’s life at all.
“It’s not me,” Anthony explained.
Anne was indeed stunned when she saw his slightly aggrieved expression.
“If I wanted to have him killed, I would have done it quietly. How would I let him have the chance to contact you?” said Anthony. His gaze, as he stared at Anne, was focused and deep. “I won’t put you in a difficult position.”
Anne’s gaze met the pair of deep black eyes, which were like suction cups that were about to suck her soul into them.
Should she believe Anthony?
She could not wrongfully accuse Anthony without any evidence, could she?
Also, she thought Anthony would explode in anger but in the end, he did not…
“Even so, you can’t agree to meet Lucas using my phone behind my back, right?” Anne was helpless.
“I was jealous.”
Anne was stunned. She was speechless.
Did he just directly tell her that he was feeling jealous?
Her expression got a little uncomfortable after that.
“There’s nothing going on between me and him. Don’t overthink it…”
Anthony held her hand and pulled her closer to him. With a deep and husky voice, he said, “Mm- hmm. I’m overthinking it. Mainly because the feeling of wanting to have you all to myself is too strong.”
Upon saying that, his thin lips kissed Anne’s dainty lips.
Her breath was domineeringly tangled with his breath by him. It was only after a moment that Anne recalled they were in a busy corridor.
She instantly pushed Anthony away and reminded him in anger and embarrassment, “We’re outside…”
“What’s wrong with me kissing my wife? It’s legal.” Anthony domineeringly carried her in his arms, turned around, and left.
Anne wrapped her arms around his broad shoulders. She could not resist him, so she could only go along with him and bury her head in his chest.
It was most important to not embarrass herself.
It was only after she was put in the car seat that she lifted her head. Her face was flushing, which looked very seductive.
That made Anthony want to immediately devour her whole.
“Let’s do it.” Anthony kissed her little lips. It was very light and very suggestive.
His hot breath came over her as if it was a domineering hand that would not stop caressing her.
Before the redness on Anne’s face subsided, her face was flushed again.
She said in shock. “We’re in a car!”
Also, they were tangled up all night last night!
She subconsciously lowered her gaze, and she was stunned…she could not believe her eyes.
She then turned her face away bashfully.
How could this j*rk be so scary? What exactly was the reason for him to have this need at all times and places?
Anthony sniffed her blushing and hot face gently. “Don’t you think this is very exciting? What would the people on the outside think if they saw the car keep shaking?”
Anne was almost completely covered in goosebumps.
She curled her body back a little. “No. We can’t…”
