Ch. 621..625: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 621-625
Chapter 621
Anne had no idea where her father got such confidence to think that Bianca would take care of her when she was ill.
Perhaps in her father’s eyes, Bianca was just a wilful princess and she did not harbor any ill will.
“Dad, what if I said that I like Anthony too?”
“What?” Nigel was so shocked that he almost lost control of the steering wheel
Anne said, “Otherwise, why would I have given birth to his children? Also, Dad, I’m more suitable to marry Anthony than Bianca. After all, I am the triplets‘ mother. Dad, it’s better for you to go back and talk some sense into Bianca!”
Nigel was unable to say anything at all.
He did not expect that Anne would like Anthony.
Otherwise, he would not have said all that.
“I’m sorry. I wasn’t being considerate,” Nigel apologized to her, “I’ve always thought that you hated him… Also, he hasn’t been good to you because of your mother.”
“It’s just some misunderstandings.” Anne did not want to continue talking anymore. She felt very tired.
Nigel turned his face and saw that Anne had closed her eyes, so in the end, he held back whatever he wanted to say.
Instead, he became concerned for her. “Anne, I’ll send you to your mother’s, alright? How can you take care of yourself in the area you’re living in?”
“No. I’ve gotten used to staying in my area. I’ll just rest for a day today and I’ll be full of vigor again tomorrow.”
Nigel could not win the argument, so he had no choice but to take her to the area that she was living in.
He directly took her home.
“Go and rest well,” said Nigel.
“Alright.” Anne went to her room and directly laid down on the bed.
Not long after, she heard the door closing when Nigel was leaving.
She could feel that sense of helplessness within Nigel.
She could understand him as well.
Both of his daughters were aiming for the same man and were all tangled up in a mess.
with him.
Just when she was about to fall asleep, she heard the sound of the door opening and closing again.
Anne sat up, got out of the room, and saw that Nigel was stuffing the fridge with all sorts of food that he just bought.
“Dad?”
“Never mind that you’re staying alone, but your fridge is empty. If you don’t want to eat out, you at least have to prepare some ingredients at home!” Nigel was feeling sorry for her rather than actually reprimanding her.
“I remember there are eggs.”
“Are you going to eat eggs for three meals a day?”
Anne thought of the poached egg that Anthony cooked for her in the morning. If she were to have another one, she might not be able to accept it.
“I won’t question how you lived your life in the past, but you can’t be like that anymore in the future.”
“Oh.”
Nigel stuffed and packed her fridge. There were so many layers of food. The vegetable and the meat were separately placed. Some were frozen and some were chilled.
“Dad, how long am I supposed to be having these?”
“It’s fine. They won’t spoil within a short time.” Nigel put everything nicely for her and then told her how to make a simple yet nutritious meal if she was afraid it would be too troublesome before he finally shut the door of the fridge. Looking at how thin his daughter was, he asked, “Have you spoken to your mother on the phone?”
“I’ve contacted her, but I didn’t tell her I was ill.”
Nigel knew that she was used to being independent.
He could tell from the fact that she insisted on staying on her own.
“Alright. Go rest then. I’ll be heading back now. Call me if there’s anything.”
“I will.”
She said that, but Nigel knew Anne would not call him even if something was bothering her. She would not even tell Sarah, let alone him!
Nigel’s expression was solemn. He did not say anything anymore and left the apartment.
Anne returned to the room and heard her phone ringing.
It was Anthony calling.
She answered it and Anthony’s deep voice could be heard coming from the phone. “What do you want for lunch?”
Chapter 622
“I’m already back at my own home.” After Anne said that, there was a long silence on the other end of the call, which gave her so much pressure that she directly changed the topic. “I had just gone downstairs when I bumped into my dad. Fortunately, he didn’t notice which door I came out from.”
“Are you afraid?”
“I feel sheepish,” Anne said honestly.
“What did he say to you?”
“He told me that you’ve gotten engaged but you’ve gone missing.”
“Whose fault was that?” Anthony accused her over the phone.
“Who was the one who made me come down with a fever?”
“Didn’t you like it very much?”
Anne pursed her lips and her expression was very awkward. The topic got weirder the more they spoke. “There’s no need for you to send me food. I have it here. My dad
prepared plenty for me. Go and keep your fiancee accompanied. She needs you to coax her very much right now.”
“Are you jealous?” Anthony’s voice was slightly hoarse. It sounds like he was in quite a good mood.
Anne did not say anything.
Anthony noticed Anne’s unusual mood, so after a very brief moment, he asked, “If Bianca and I got a marriage certificate together. What would you do?”
“Nothing…” Anne answered.
Anthony squinted his black eyes and they looked extremely dangerous.
After that, Anne’s laid–back voice could be heard coming from the phone once again. “I… will get married to another man.”
“Do you dare?”
“Why don’t we try and see?”
“Anne!”
Anne directly hung up the call and tossed the phone on the bed.
Anthony stared at the black screen of the phone so hard that a hole was almost appearing on it.
She was getting bolder and bolder. Not only did she threaten him, but she even dared to
hang up his call!
Anne initially thought that only alcohol could help a cowardly person pluck up her courage. She did not expect that being sick would have such an effect as well.
She did not care if Anthony would be angered by her. She turned over and went to sleep.
There was a knock on Anthony’s office door which interrupted him from spacing out.” Come in.”
Oliver came in. “Mr. Marwood, Ms. Faye is here.”
Bianca followed behind him and entered the office. She was still glamorously dressed. She had a tall figure and an outstanding temperament.
Anthony seemed to have forgotten that he had told Bianca he would go look for her after he finished with the matters on his end. He got up. “Why did you come?”
Bianca looked at him and did her best to control her own emotions. “I kept waiting but I didn’t get a call from you and I was afraid I’ll disturb you working, so I came to the Archduke Group to have a look. I didn’t expect that you’ll really be here.”
“What would happen to me? Don’t overthink it.” Anthony patted her back.
Bianca’s eyes turned slightly red. “As long as you’re fine. I couldn’t get in touch with you and I waited for the whole night last night. You have no idea how I pulled through it. Anthony, don’t frighten me like that again, alright?”
“This is my fault. I should have given you a call,” said Anthony.
“It’s fine. You’re busy working, so it’s inevitable that you’ll overlook something,” Bianca was saying all the understanding words, “About us getting our marriage certificate….you said to do it another day. I’ve checked and the next closest good date will be the day after tomorrow. What do you think?”
Anthony did not reply to her.
Bianca was afraid that her intention would be too obvious, so she added, “Do you have any plans on that day? What I mean is to just get the marriage certificate done with, so we don’t have to be troubled by it again.”
“Let’s talk about matters related to the marriage certificate later.” Anthony lifted his wrist and looked at the time. “Shall we have lunch together?”
Bianca’s heart instantly sank to the bottom but nodded with difficulty on the surface.
They had lunch at a high–end restaurant. Bianca sensed that Anthony was distracted.
He was practically silent the whole time.
Bianca did not even dare to ask, ‘Anthony, what have you been doing the past couple of days? Can you tell me? As your fiancee, I want to share some of your troubles with you.’
What if Anthony told her the truth?
Could she possibly break up with him? It was absolutely impossible.
She would only embarrass herself in the end.
Chapter 623
Anne was sound asleep, but she felt something strange on her body. Someone was harassing her.
She let out a couple of hums, turned around, covered the covers up to her head, and did her best to curl herself up like a shrimp.
However, she was still being harassed and it did not stop no matter what, so much so that the covers over her head were lifted.
“Don’t touch me. Let me sleep… Ah..” Anne’s face was flushed and she was annoyed. Following that, she let out a scream and leaned her body back to hide.
She opened her eyes and glared listlessly at Anthony, who was sitting at the edge of the bed.
“Is this what you mean by having lunch?”
Anne searched and got her phone on the nightstand, looked at the time, and saw that it was already past noon.
She put her phone down and continued curling herself up. “I’m not hungry…”
“I brought you food for you.
Get up.”
Anne moved her head on the pillow a little, looked directly at him, and asked, “Did you have lunch together with Bianca at noon?”
Anthony’s black eyes were staring straight at her without dodging at all.
“It’s the leftovers from the both of you, right? I don’t want that. I’d rather have instant noodles at home.” Anne was not satisfied.
“You’re not allowed to intervene with my matters.” Anthony pinched her chin to warn her.
He realized that she was getting more and more out of line. Even Bianca was sensible enough to turn a blind eye to his matters.
Anne was thinking his matters were no big deal to her, anyway, but he made it seem like she cared to ask.
However, she still pretended to be a little angry and she turned over to face her back to him. “You’re just acting like that because you know I like you!”
Anthony’s black eyes moved a little. After a brief moment of silence, he pulled and turned her over. “It’s not leftovers. I went somewhere else to buy them.”
Anne turned her face over with a smirk, moved her arms up Anthony’s shoulders, and
wrapped them around his neck. She then initiated and kissed his thin lips while her eyes glistened.
Anthony’s gaze deepened and a strong emotion was hidden under them.
“Master, can I ask you for a favor?” Anne pursed her lips and asked when she saw that it was the right time. “Can you not marry Bianca?”
“Marry you instead?”
“I don’t mean that… Forget it. I won’t talk about it anymore. I’m going to wash up…” Anne retracted her arms and was prepared to get up.
However, something tightened around her waist and restricted her.
Anthony’s black eyes were both deep and dangerous. “Why didn’t you go on?” ”
“Actually…I thought you’d be very angry after I said that I like you, but you unexpectedly didn’t. Maybe that’s why I kept pushing my luck like this.” Anne looked cowardly and weak, and she kept stroking his collar with her fingers every now and then.
Anthony grabbed her hand tightly in his palm. “You’re asking me for a favor now instead of threatening me? Hmm?”
Anne thought of what she said when she was on a call with Anthony earlier.
She could not help but lower her head and say with embarrassment, “I’m just using both a carrot and a stick…”
Anthony pinched her chin, lifted her face, and said with difficulty, “I allow you to like me, but don’t intervene with my matters.”
Anne was thinking that this man was absolutely unreasonable when he was acting domineering!
She was especially his and only his words matter!
Anne did not say anything. She got up from his body, got out of bed, and went out of the room to wash up.
Anthony pulled his collar as he was extremely irritated!
As soon as Bianca went home, Dorothy came up to her in a hurry and asked, “How was it? Have you met Anthony?”
“I have met him.”
Chapter 624
“Then…what did he say? When are the both of you going to get your marriage certificate?” That was what Dorothy cared about.
Bianca sat on the couch without moving a muscle or saying a word.
Dorothy became even more anxious. “Say something! What did Anthony say?”
“He didn’t say anything, which is why it’s scary.” Bianca looked straight ahead with both fury and resentment.
“What do you mean? There’s no follow–up to the matter of getting your marriage certificate anymore??” Dorothy was confused. “Wasn’t he the one who agreed to go get a marriage certificate with you? He’s going back on his words now? Does this sound like what the person in charge of the Archduke Group would say?”
“Anthony was with Anne in the two days he went missing. Anne must have said something to him!” Bianca was gritting her teeth when she was saying these words, and her eyes were filled with viciousness.
“This b*tch again!” Dorothy was so pissed that she paced around and was thinking of a way in her head to deal with Anne.
“I finally could understand your feelings now,” Bianca said, “mistresses are too aggressive!”
“What about that? Didn’t your father still get back together with me and marry me? You should just ignore how much Anthony is infatuated with Anne or her body for now. Instead, you should get your marriage certificate with him! It’s only after this that you can make use of your abilities as Mrs. Marwood without any care or concern!”
“The thing is I can’t get the marriage certificate now!” Bianca lashed out and stood up. Her mind was a hot mess!
She originally thought that Anthony loved her and cared about her. In the end, he got involved with Anne before she appeared and they even had three children together!
Bianca thought of a certain type of possibility and was shocked that she broke out in cold sweat. “Anthony couldn’t have broken his promise for the sake of the triplets, right? He won’t marry Anne for the children, right? Just like Dad, no matter how much he liked Sarah back then, he still married you again in the end!”
In fact, Dorothy had never wanted to admit that it was because of the child that Nigel married her again. Instead, she wanted to think that it was because he more or less still had some feelings for her.
After the truth was spoken by Bianca in such a direct manner, she was slightly embarrassed. “It wasn’t solely for your sake that your father and I got married to each other again. He still had some feelings for me. No matter what, the first wife would still be the best.”
Bianca did not even want to tell her that she was simply lying to herself.
“Anthony also has feelings for you. He’s just torturing Anne,” Dorothy persuaded her.
“If we keep on being so careless while thinking that we’ll be lucky, Anne will become Mrs. Marwood one day!” Bianca was pissed beyond measure. She was still having such a mindset at this moment. It was no wonder that Anne could always make such meticulous moves!
Anthony did not get a marriage certificate with her because of Anne. That showed that she was already facing a huge problem!
She certainly has to turn this unfavorable situation around!
Bianca thought of something, picked up her phone, and gave Nigel a call. “Dad, are you coming home for dinner tonight? I have something to ask you.”
“Alright.”
Nigel went back around three in the afternoon. Bianca hurried down the stairs when she heard the sound of his car.
“Dad, did you go look for Anne? Did you tell her to stay away from Anthony?”
“Bianca, I can only go and learn about the situation.”
“What did you learn then?”
“Anne said she likes Anthony. Both of you are my daughters. It’s unfair for me to ask her to give up.”
“What?” Bianca was shocked. “She likes Anthony?” She immediately burst out laughing because she was so pissed.
Dorothy and Nigel were both worried about her emotions.
“Bianca, what’s going on?” Dorothy was concerned.
Bianca stopped laughing and all that was left on her face was a distorted expression. “She even said in the past that it was Anthony forcing her. Now, she’s saying that she likes him? She’s just a shameless mistress! Who the hell is she to say that she likes him? Don’t insult Anthony! If Anthony knew about it, he could immediately strangle her to death!”
“Bianca, I told you a long time ago that Anthony is not a good match with you. Why won’t you listen?”
Bianca’s pupils dilated. “If he and I are not a good match, then who’s a good match with him? Anne? She wants to replace me? Over my dead body!” She turned around and went upstairs after saying that.
Dorothy was angry. “Why did you say such a thing?”
Nigel did not feel that he had said anything wrong. “As her mother, you should talk some sense into her as well.”
Chapter 625
“Why should I talk some sense into her? Can’t you tell that she likes Anthony? Never mind if you don’t help her, but you even tried to deliver a blow to her. Is that what a father should do to her?”
“Can’t you tell that she’s very miserable? If Anthony respected her a little, would he not appear on the day they were supposed to get a marriage certificate?”
“It was because he was seduced by Anne!” Dorothy argued with him, “Just like Sarah. If she didn’t seduce you, would you have initiated and slept with her? The daughter acts like that. The mother also acts like that. Have I owed them something in my past life? Now, they’re even wrecking Bianca’s happiness!”
Nigel looked at her coldly. “You don’t owe them anything, but you owe me! I initially thought that you can be a good wife, but have you achieved that? I regretted my decision back then. If I didn’t marry you again, everything would have been fine!”
“I have made a mistake back then, but I’ve always been making it up to you! Can’t you feel my feelings for you?” Dorothy grabbed his arm.
Nigel shook her hand off mercilessly. “Don’t put your attention on me. Go and talk some sense into Bianca and ask her to give up the idea of marrying Anthony!”
After that, he went out the door.
Soon after, the sound of a car leaving could be heard coming from outside.
Dorothy’s eyes were filled with tears and hatred.
She had given him a few decades of her affection, but he still said such merciless words to her.
No. He was not like that at the beginning. They were still able to treat each other with respect.
It was because of Sarah’s appearance. It was all caused by that pair of mother and daughter!
Bianca stood by the railing on the balcony, and when she saw her father’s car leaving, she knew that her mother had screwed things up again.
Why could she and her mother not keep the man that they cared about by their side?
No, she was different from her mother.
At least Anthony cared about her.
It was mainly because she would not argue with Anthony.
The problem was Anne, to begin with. As long as she could get rid of Anne, everything
would be fine.
If she were to argue with Anthony, she would only worsen their relationship.
Just like how Nigel was driving away at that moment.
If it were not for the obligation of marriage and for the pressure from Anthony, Nigel would have long divorced Dorothy.
Nigel did not go anywhere. He went to the Royal Mansion instead.
In the past few days when Anne was not around, he had almost come over every day to look for the children.
Especially after Sarah told him that Chloe looked just like Anne when she was a child.
If both of their photos were put next to each other, nobody could even tell them apart.
Therefore, Nigel cherished the children even more.
Only he understood that feeling of eagerly wanting to make up for the past.
He entered the Royal Mansion with delicious food and fun things to play with that were selected by him with great effort.
Hayden smiled when he saw him. “Mr. Faye, you’re here.”
Nigel passed the things to him. “These are for the children.”
“You really are very fond of the children! But they’ve all gone out. I don’t know if they’ll be back later tonight,” said Hayden.
“They’ve gone out? Who brought them out?” Nigel asked, “Anthony?”
“No. Mr. Marwood hasn’t returned yet! They’ve gone out to play themselves,” said Hayden. When he saw that Nigel’s expression was getting solemn, he hurriedly said, “There’s no need to worry, Mr. Faye. Ivan is following them in secret. He is Mr. Marwood’s most trusted subordinate.‘
Nigel let out a sigh of relief, “I thought that you let the three of them out. It’s a misunderstanding on my part.”
“The three children are very smart. Other than their bodies, which are small, they can be compared to adults in terms of intelligence!” Hayden’s eyes were glowing when he mentioned the children. That showed how much he liked the triplets. “I don’t know if you have heard about the triplets returning from abroad by themselves.”
“By themselves?” Nigel was shocked.
“That’s right. Ms. Vallois was here in the country at that time. The children missed their mother too much, so they secretly got in a cab and boarded the plane by misleading the others. The nanny abroad found out that the children were missing and called the police Only then did they notice the children had already boarded the plane. They contacted the police at the airport here, then the police at the airport contacted Ms. Vallois,” said Hayden
Nigel was absolutely in disbelief.
They were children who were only two years old! They actually were able to mislead the others and returned to the country!
How smart they were!
“If you want to look for the children, why don’t you look for Ms. Vallois? The children said they wanted to go look for their mother.”
Anne was looking at her phone while slouching on the couch when she heard somebody knocking on her door.
