Ch. 606..610: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 606-610
Chapter 606
Bianca was a little nervous, so she smiled to hide it. “I know you’re very busy, so the wedding can be postponed for the time being. How about…getting the marriage certificate first? This way, it’s perfectly justifiable for me to look after the triplets.”
Anthony squinted and asked, “Get the marriage certificate first?”
“Yes, I’ve checked the dates, and this coming Friday seems like a good day. Why don’t we… Bianca said tentatively but found that Anthony did not respond, as if he was in a trance.
“Anthony?”
“I’m listening.” Anthony looked normal.
“I’m not forcing you to get the certificate, but people are wagging their tongues around me, and I can’t help but have the wrong impression that…” Bianca was embarrassed.
“Wrong impression about what?”
“That…you like Anne.”
Anthony widened his eyes slightly, but his face quickly turned cold. “You’re thinking too much.”
“You’re right. I don’t think that’s possible. You might like someone else, but not Anne. After all, she’s Sarah’s daughter.” Bianca agreed.
“Let’s get the marriage certificate that day.” Anthony decided.
Bianca’s nervousness disappeared, her expression returned to normal, and she could not hide her joy. “Okay.”
Bianca was excited. Since Anthony agreed to get the marriage certificate, she would be Anthony’s righteous wife, Mrs. Marwood, and not just his fiancee. Now that her plan was foolproof, Anne would surely be doomed by then!
“Anthony?”
Bianca looked up and saw Tommy coming over and greeting Anthony with his hands in his pockets.
Anthony glanced at him and said nothing.
“Tommy, are you here for your lunch too?” Bianca asked with a smile.
“Just having a meal with a friend.”
“Is it your girlfriend?”
Tommy did not answer. Instead, he looked at Bianca and asked, “Bianca, you seem to be in a great mood! Is there any good news?”
Bianca glanced at Anthony, appearing a little embarrassed as she answered, “Anthony said we’re getting our marriage certificate this coming Friday. As you know, we were only engaged to be married before this.”
Tommy was stunned and turned to Anthony. Since Anthony did not deny it, Bianca’s words
seemed true.
“Congratulations. Alright, I’ll get going then.” Tommy turned away.
Anthony returned to the Archduke Group, entered his office, and sat indifferently on the office chair. He tilted his head slightly, staring at the surveillance screen on the monitor next to him. Since he started monitoring the Marwood Group, he never shut it off.
On the monitor, Anne’s slender figure was walking through the corridor, shaking her hands instead of wiping them after washing. Not long after, Anthony saw Tommy appearing at Marwood Group again, and he even followed her to the Finance Department.
Anthony became more and more irritable, and he ruffled his collar.
Anne had just come out of Xander’s office when she was pushed in by the oncoming man- “W–What are you doing?”
Tommy looked around the office and asked, “Mr. Clayton isn’t here?”
“Mr. Clayton went to the bank and will probably return after lunch.”
“Have you eaten yet?”
“Yes. Mr. Clayton asked me to put the report on his desk. Can I help you with anything?”
“I just heard some good news I want to share with you.”
Anne was skeptical as Tommy seemed to be in a good mood, thinking, “What good news?”
“I was having lunch with my friend and met Anthony and Bianca at the restaurant. They’re going to get their marriage certificate this Friday.“
Chapter 607
Anne was dumbfounded.
They were about to get their marriage certificate, and it would be in a couple of days…
Suddenly, what Bianca said to her the other day came to mind-Let the dust settle.
Was she talking about this?
“Once Anthony gets married and has his own kids with Bianca, he’ll pay less attention to you,” Tommy said, “I’ve said before that Anthony has someone he likes, and if he gets married, the bride will only be Bianca. As for why he pesters you, it’s probably impulses. You know men–sometimes it’s hard for them to control their lower body.”
Even though Anne knew it was true, she still felt uncomfortable when she heard Tommy saying that.
“You’re the same too, right?” Anne mocked.
“Are you jealous?” Tommy smirked.
Anne almost rolled her eyes at him. She did not want to talk to him anymore, so she turned around, wanting to leave.
However, Tommy stopped her and asked, “Let’s have dinner tonight?”
“No thanks.”
“Is this how you repay me for bringing you such good news?” Tommy frowned, disliking her disobedience.
Anne removed his hand and said calmly, “You used to threaten me with the children, but now you’re offering a deal? Besides, I didn’t ask you to tell me.”
After that, she left.
“You’re so annoying…” Tommy pulled Anne’s hand and pressed her on the sofa-
“Ah!” Anne was shocked and struggled to push him away. “Tommy, what’s wrong with you?! Let me go!”
“Can’t you talk to me nicely?”
“What?” Anne was dumbfounded.
At this time, the office door was pushed open, and Xander walked in. When he saw such an ambiguous scene, he whistled.
Anne hurriedly pushed Tommy away and got up. Moreover, she did not look so well. “Don’t get it wrong! He’s out of his mind!” After that, she ran out.
After Anne went out, Tommy followed her, leaving the Finance Department.
Anne sat in her seat, staring at Tommy with full resentment until he disappeared from her sight. However, although Tommy was a little annoying, Anne had to admit that the news he brought affected her mood considerably.
Anthony and Bianca were about to get their marriage license soon
Needless to say, it must have been Bianca’s idea, but Anthony obviously agreed to it. As long as they had the certificate, they would be legally husband and wife!
At that time, were her children going to be Bianca’s?
Bianca’s words and the look in her eyes made Anne uneasy
Sarah’s words seemed to make a difference at this time
She could not let Anthony and Bianca get their marriage certificate!
Yet, how was she supposed to stop it from happening?!
Xander pushed open the office door and leaned in slightly, saying, “Ms. Vallois, there’s a high–level meeting at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Get ready!”
Anne returned to her senses. “Got it.”
High–level meeting… So Anthony would be there, right?
It had been a long time since she came to Marwood Group, and she almost forgot about this ‘opportunity‘.
Before three o’clock, everyone was there, including the ‘rare‘ Tommy, who sat beside Damian.
Anne noticed Damian looking at her strangely as if he were smiling, yet it appeared smug and sarcastic.
Anne was puzzled and could not help but wonder if she had offended Damian.
The conference room doors were pushed open, and Anthony walked in. His pressing aura instantly filled the entire space, sending a chill down everyone’s spine.
Anthony sat and swept his gaze across the crowd, finally stopping on Anne.
None of the high–level executives in the conference room brought their assistant, Anne
was the only assistant present. In other words, it was the first time she knew about such a
secret meeting except for the high–ranking people.
Perhaps the Finance Department was more important.
Chapter 608
However, it might unnecessarily be so in the eyes of outsiders.
Even the Finance Department knew Anne had given birth to Anthony’s child, so there must have been a sudden realization throughout the Marwood Group that as if Tommy had nothing to do with her working in the Marwood Group, but it was actually Anthony.
The meeting went on for nearly two hours.
Damian saw Anthony getting up and walking toward the door, and he turned to look at Anne with a sly smile, saying, “Anne, were you in Tommy’s condo the night before?”
It took a while for Anne to react, and she noticed that everyone was looking at her. Even Anthony, who was about to leave, took a step back. Although he did not turn around, his stalwart figure was full of threats.
Anne looked at Tommy coldly and quickly calmed her pounding heart, replying, “Mr. Marwood, it must’ve been a misunderstanding. I was sleeping at home that night.”
“You don’t have to hide it. I saw the red wine for dinner on the table. Tommy said he was drinking with a man, which seemed unreasonable. So, I deliberately left and waited at the condo. Sure enough, I saw you coming out.” Damian was confident.
Anne’s expression changed, and she looked at Anthony. Then, just as she was about to explain, she saw Anthony walking out and disappearing.
Her heart almost stopped.
Regardless of the presence of other executives, Anne asked angrily, “What nonsense are you talking about!”
“If
you insist on arguing with me, I can always check the surveillance,” Damian said.
“Are you done?” Tommy scowled.
Damian did not flinch, but he added outrageously, “Tommy, since the two of you are together, there’s no need to hide it anymore. After all, I’m an open–minded person.”
The other executives did not dare to stay any longer and hurried away.
Xander looked back at the pale Anne and asked, “Why are you still standing there?”
Anne returned to her senses and left the room with Xander anxiously, heading toward their department.
Xander asked, “Would you like to take the day off?”
Anne looked at Xander. She understood Xander’s intention, but she shook her head. “…No, it’s fine.”
“It seems that what Mr. Marwood said is true.” Xander seemed to be talking to himself, but
Anne heard it all and became even more flustered.
She thought she was doomed as Anthony surely knew she was lying, and it was useless for her to deny it as he could always check the surveillance.
Anne was losing her mind, and she could not help but wonder why luck was never in her favor.
What would Anthony do to her?
She was terrified and did not dare to imagine the possibilities.
Anne took her phone to the bathroom and called Anthony. She thought he would not answer, but the call unexpectedly connected after three seconds.
Anne was so anxious that she was short of breath. “Master, it’s a misunderstanding and not what you think. That night…”
“Stay away from my children lest you misguide them.” Anthony’s cold and cruel voice sounded.
Anne’s mind went blank from fear. “What? No… Anthony, no way. I… Hello? Anthony?”
Before she could finish speaking, the phone was hung up. Then, Anne called again, but he did not pick up.
Anne sat weakly on the ground, on the verge of breaking down.
How could she not see the children? She had just accepted that she could not raise them and only visit them, but another blow came and shattered her.
It was almost time to get off work, but Anne was still sitting at her desk in a daze.
She definitely would not be able to meet her children today, and even if she went over, she would not be able to see them either.
Anthony had always been strict and quick in enforcing his orders. Hence, she needed to find a way and asked Anthony for mercy first, begging him no matter how…
Chapter 609
Anne felt someone walking over behind her, and she turned to look, only to find that it was Tommy. In an instant, her face turned cold.
“What’s with that expression? Was I the one who said it?” Tommy did not look so good either.
“Can you stay away from me?” Anne did not want to investigate whether it was related to him. Her mind was a mess now.
Tommy got angry when he heard her tone, and he stepped forward and picked her up, pushing her against the wall-
“W–What are you doing? What if someone sees us?” Then, Anne started to push him, but to no avail, so she yelled angrily, “Let me go!”
“Why are you so afraid of Anthony? Do you care so much about him?”
Anne felt that Tommy was being ridiculous. She took a deep breath and asked, “Am I supposed to care about you instead?”
Tommy was shocked.
Anne shook off his hands in displeasure, walked to her desk, and picked up her bag.” Messing with Anthony won’t bring me any good, and it’s not that you aren’t aware that the children are in his hands.”
“Everything will be fine if you give up the children.”
“What?” Anne thought he was going too far. How could he say such a thing?
“You can totally remarry.”
Anne would not agree with what Tommy said, but she understood what he meant.
Getting married and having children again could divert her attention, and she would no longer be under Anthony’s intimidation. Otherwise, all she had would be a lifetime of doom!
Did she not understand this?
Of course, she did, but she could not do it.
Anne could not just shut her eyes to her children and neglect them.
Anne could not divert her attention and did not want to have any more children–She
wanted to give all her love to her triplets.
Besides, would Anthony allow her to get married again and have more children?
Even if it were possible, it would be far in the future, and no one knew how long she would have to wait for the time to come.
Anne looked at Tommy coldly and said, “You don’t understand.” After that, she turned around and left.
Tommy’s expression turned sour, and he kicked the seat next to him.
When Anne got home, she sat on the sofa in a trance. She could not do anything at all and was absorbed in thinking of ways to deal with Anthony. Not only that, but the fact that Anthony was going to get a marriage certificate with Bianca also made her head a mess.
The more she thought about it, the more flustered Anne was, and it only made her feel desperate.
Was there no way out? Did she have to kneel and beg Anthony?
Anne did not sleep well all night.
Sarah also called in the morning, asking, “So, did you think it over?”
Anne thought, “Think it over? I’ve offended Anthony!”
It was already a blessing that the man did not choke her on the spot, yet she dared to think about seducing him?!
That would be digging her own grave!
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Do you remember what I said?” Sarah urged her.
“I’m at work!” Anne was annoyed.
“Is work more important, or are the children more important?”
“Obviously the children…”
“Exactly! You must make a decision quickly, or else it’ll be too late! Can you imagine how smug Dorothy and Bianca will be at that time? It’s going to be harder for Anthony and Bianca to get a divorce if something really happens to the kids! Haven’t you seen examples of fathers ignoring their children after they remarried? If they’re going to have another baby
Oh no, my poor grandchildren!!”
Anne was going crazy.
Yes, she knew it all and was upset about it too.
“I’ll remember this well. Anyway, that’s all. I’m busy,” Anne said and hurriedly hung up the phone.
It was way past working hours, and Xander only heard silence outside his office when he finished his work.
Since there was no need to work overtime, everyone should have left.
When he came out of the office with his briefcase, he saw someone still sitting at the desk. Then, he walked over.
“Anne?”
Chapter 610
Anne got up and asked, “Mr. Clayton, are you getting off work?”
“Why are you still here?”
Anne pursed her lips. “…Mr. Clayton, can I ask for a favor?”
“What is it about?”
“Where is Anthony now? I…I want to find him,” Anne said.
Anne could no longer locate Anthony as her previous phone was gone, and blindly running around to find him was definitely not a good idea. Moreover, she called the Royal Mansion, and Anthony was not there.
Was he with Bianca?
They were getting their marriage certificate tomorrow. Was there still a need to cling to each other? Maybe… After all, they had a good relationship…
“Don’t you know?” Xander asked.
“I–I didn’t call him,” Anne said, “and he’s not at the Royal Mansion.”
Xander stayed quiet, thinking about it.
Anne begged, “Mr. Clayton, just help me this time, okay? I–I definitely need to see him tonight!”
Xander looked at her pitiful look, smiled, and took out his phone. “I’ll give it a try.”
Then, he called Oliver and asked, “Where’s Mr. Marwood? I have something to talk to him about, but he’s not answering his phone.”
“If he’s not answering his phone, he’s probably at the apartment.” Oliver guessed. “What’s the urgent matter?”
Xander looked at Anne. Her nervous expression was the ‘urgent matter‘.
“Since he’s at the apartment, I’ll just look for him tomorrow!”
As soon as Anne heard the word apartment, her eyes instantly lit up. Then, she clasped her hands, showing her gratitude, and ran away before Xander finished his call.
Xander shook his head. “What a tough situation.”
Anne ran to the apartment.
She could go in as her apartment was here too.
Anne did not expect that the first time she came to the renovated apartment was to meet Anthony. As soon as she entered the door, she was surprised by the cozy interior design,
and she could not believe how in line the style was with her preference.
However, Anne did not have the time to look at the details, and she hurriedly went to the balcony.
Anthony would definitely not open the door if she knocked, so she might as well just climb the balcony again. Unfortunately for Anne, the spot where it was convenient for her to climb over had already been removed!
What could she step on now?
Anne was anxious, and she had no choice but to knock on the door from the front.
She knocked twice, but there was no response. Then, she raised her hand to knock again, but just as her knuckle touched the door, the door opened.
Anthony appeared. He was wearing pajamas, his hair was damp, and he looked sexy. However, he was still as domineering as always, and he looked at Anne coldly.
“Who asked you to come?”
“I guessed you might be here, so I came.” Anne could not betray Xander.
Anthony was about to close the door without saying a word.
“Wait a minute!” Anne immediately stood between the gap. “Listen to me! Just one minute and I’ll leave!”
Anthony looked at her coldly with his obsidian eyes, let go of his hands, and turned to go in, saying indifferently, “Get out of here once you’re done.”
Anne looked at the aloof back, stepped forward, and hugged Anthony, crying, “Lucas and Tommy were never with me. How can I be someone else when I… I like you…”
Anthony’s body shook violently. “What did you say?”
“I know it’s not good to lie, but I hid what happened that day because I was afraid you would misunderstand. Tommy went to my rented place and asked me to eat at his place. I didn’t think much about it as I was in a bad mood. Halfway through the meal, Damian came, and then I left. Master, I like you. How can I have anything with others…” Anne cried, ” As to why I gave birth to the triplets… Maybe you already had a place in my heart at that time. Later, when I returned and spent time with you, I fell in love. I’m sorry… I don’t want to say it, but I don’t want you to misunderstand me…”
