Ch. 751..755: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 751-755

Chapter 751

He meant that all the seafood that was caught was not allowed to be eaten.

He was just leaving them hanging when they wanted to eat seafood!

Anne sighed. She really had forgotten about her seafood allergy. She even mentioned that she wanted to eat stewed eggs with sea urchins!

When she turned around, she saw that the bodyguard was about to throw the sea urchin into the sea, so she hurried over to stop it. “Can you not throw it away? I can’t eat them, but other people can. I want to give them away.”

The bodyguard was in a dilemma. After all, Mr. Marwood ordered him to throw it away.

“It’s okay. You put it aside, I’ll go and tell Anthony about it.” Anne caught up with Anthony.” Anthony, Anthony, can we not throw away the sea urchins? I’ll pack it up and take it home to give them away!”

Anthony looked at her sharply as if he wanted to penetrate her soul, and he said, “Keep them then.”

Anne looked at Anthony and could not help but feel happy.

He had not given specific orders on whom to give the sea urchins to, so she supposed she could give them to whoever she wanted!

Lunch was prepared by the time they all had a shower. There were all kinds of delicacies, but there was no seafood.

The triplets could not wait to sit on the table, and their bodies twisted and turned before they sat down.

“It’s time for lunch!”

“I am hungry!”

“So am I!”

Anne smiled. Just a few seconds ago, they were saying that they did not want to leave the water.

A fish tank was set up next to them to keep the sea creatures caught by the children, separating them from the leopard coral trout.

Five people ate their lunch around the table.

After playing in the sea for a while, all of them were very hungry.

They used up a lot of energy while they were in the water.

The triplets ate without talking, as they were fully focused on the food.

Although there was no seafood, there were all kinds of meat, fried, grilled, and stewed. It smelled really good.

After eating and resting, Anne felt a little drowsy, so she lay down on the deck.

The triplets rushed over and surrounded her.

They lay down on Anne’s body.

Fortunately, the children were still young, and they did not weigh much, so Anne did not feel too uncomfortable.

“Mama, I’m sleeping next to you today!” Chloe kissed Mama’s face.

Anne was itchy from being kissed and could not stop laughing.

Anne could not stand being pestered by the kids all the time. “Why don’t you watch your fish?”

“Ah!” Chloe got up and ran to the fish tank.

Charlie and Chris also followed.

Their three small faces were pressed against the fish tank, and their eyeballs followed the fish swimming around inside.

They looked cute.

Anne looked at them, closed her eyes contentedly, and felt the blue sky, white clouds, and sea.

It was a really pleasant day.

She could only have such an enjoyable experience when she was with her kids.

“Mama! Mama! The leopard coral trout is swimming happily inside!”

“My black fish is also swimming happily!”

“They are all here!”

The triplets slept with their Mama again.

After having fun for the whole morning, they were very tired.

On other days, they would not be so willing to sleep that early.

“Come on, let’s go back to our room and sleep.” Anne got up.

“I don’t want to sleep!” Charlie was stubborn.

“Your body needs rest,” Anne said.

Chapter 752

“Will Papa sleep with me?” Chris looked eagerly at Papa, who was sitting on the sofa.

“You guys go ahead. I’ll catch up later.” Anthony glanced at Anne.

With a sullen face, Anne took the children away from the deck.

She wondered if Anthony was just being perfunctory to the children or if he meant it.

Although they were on a yacht, the bed was quite big.

When Anthony entered the room, Anne and the children had already fallen asleep.

He only came in five minutes later than they did.

She slept deeply, and the children slept beside her.

He stared at them for a long time.

However, Anthony placed his hand on the pillow, pinched Anne’s chin with the other hand, and said dangerously, “What a wonderful idea of having the children sleep with you so that I can’t sleep with you.”

“Hmm…” Anne hummed unconsciously, turned over, instinctively hugged Charlie, who was closest to her, and continued to sleep.

The back of Anthony’s hand caressed her delicate face. Only he could decide for himself…

Ashlynn walked to the door of the ward, knocked on the door, and then went in after hearing an answer from the inside. She had been here once, and the bodyguards knew her, so they did not stop her.

After entering, Sarah was very kind to her because she knew she was Anne’s assistant.

Ashlynn was very courteous.

“Ma’am, how do you feel today?” Ashlynn put the fruit she had brought on the table, and closed the windows.

“Why did you bring fruit for me again? Didn’t I tell you not to bring me anything?” Sarah said.

“I don’t buy much. Ms. Vallois takes good care of me. I want to do something for Ms. Vallois. Do you still feel dizzy?” Ashlynn said.

“I’m not dizzy anymore, I feel like I can get out of bed and walk around now.” Sarah felt very uncomfortable staying on the bed, and she had not seen Nigel since she was injured.

“I asked Dr. Brown before coming here, and she said I could help you walk slowly. If you still feel uncomfortable, you should lie down. I’ll help you up.”

Helping Sarah up, they walked back and forth around the bed.

“Are you feeling better?” Ashlynn looked at her expression.

“No, it’s fine. You can let go of me. I’ll walk by myself.” Sarah pushed Ashlynn’s hand away.

Ashlynn did not dare to let go completely, so she followed closely beside her.

Sarah walked around by herself and said, “I’m fine. Can I go visit Nigel in the neighboring ward?”

Ashlynn said, “I’ll go over to see if they’re there first. If everything is fine, I’ll help you there.”

Sarah said with a smile, “How very considerate of you. Go ahead.”

Ashlynn walked to the door, knocked on it, and was stunned when she entered because she saw Corentin with Dorothy and Blanca.

Why was he here? Then she remembered the person lying on the hospital bed was his elder brother.

Ashlynn immediately put on her poker face. “Hi, I’m Ms. Vallois’s assistant, and I’m here to visit her father on her behalf.”

Dorothy and Bianca were thinking of shooing her away, but then they had an idea.

Dorothy said very politely, “Ah, it’s Anne’s assistant, come and sit down!”

“I’ve already paid my respects, so I won’t bother you. I’ll go back to the company.” After Ashlynn finished speaking, she turned and left the ward.

Corentin glanced at the door, expressionless.

Ashlynn went back to Sarah’s side and told Sarah that there were people in the ward there, so she did not go there.

Ashlynn helped Sarah up and accompanied her into Nigel’s ward when everyone left.

Seeing that Nigel looked the same as before, Sarah could not help but burst into tears.

Ashlynn stayed with her in the ward for half an hour and walked Sarah back to her own ward before leaving.

While Ashlynn was walking on the sidewalk next to the trees not far from the gate of the hospital, a few young people were leaning against the wall, smoking cigarettes while standing upright against the wall, with devilish smiles on their faces.

Ashlynn felt a weird sense of familiarity.

After all, she grew up with people just like them.

Chapter 753

Ashlynn walked over without looking at them, passing in front of them.

The men whistled at her, but she ignored them.

A finished cigarette fell in front of her, making her pause in her tracks.

Then, she kept walking.

One of the gangsters stood in front of her, preventing her from leaving.

“Hey gorgeous, where are you going? Do you want my brothers to accompany you? They are free now.” The gangster stared at her with lewd eyes.

The few men who were leaning against the wall also circled behind Ashlynn, flanking her back and forth, preventing her from moving forward or retreating.

“No need for that. Can you make way?” Ashlynn asked.

“No need? Are you sure?” The gangster in front moved closer to her.

Ashlynn took a step back, walked away, and quickened her pace.

“Don’t go, gorgeous.” The gangster stepped forward and grabbed Ashlynn’s shoulder.

Ashlynn’s eyes flashed sharply, and she grabbed his hand with her left hand and threw him over his shoulder. The gangster screamed in pain as he fell to the ground.

The others were startled. This woman sure was strong..

Then they calmed themselves down. They reassured themselves that they were gangsters! They were not afraid of a puny lady!

A gangster took hold of Ashlynn’s hand, but she kicked him in the knee, causing him to draw his hand away in pain. The second gangster kicked into action.

Ashlynn only knew the basics of self–defense and could not do much when there were too many people.

Soon she lost the fight, and the gangsters pinned her against the wall, taking hold of her hands in case she wanted to escape.

“Hitting and kicking us, eh? How do you feel now?”

Although the six gangsters won, it was not an easy win. They were bruised on the face, legs, and back.

“We shouldn’t have let our guard down… You don’t look like a person who knows self- defense. It doesn’t matter now. Let us see what we can do to you…” The gangster in front of him stretched out his hands toward Ashlynn as he spoke.

Ashlynn struggled, but her hand was immobilized.

Seeing the hand getting closer and closer to her, Ashlynn panicked. “Don’t touch me…I will call the police!”

The gangsters laughed arrogantly, completely ignoring her threats.

At this moment, a Bintley stopped on the side of the road, and a tall man got out of the car.

“What is going on?”

Ashlynn looked over and stared blankly at the man. It was Corentin.

“Mind your own business!” the gangster stepped forward and yelled.

The driver behind Corentin came over and punched him in the face. The gangster wailed and covered his bleeding nose.

The other five were about to come forward together, but they were all brought down by the well–trained driver.

Corentin walked up to Ashlynn, who was rubbing her wrist, and asked with concern, “Are you all right?”

“I’m fine, thank you. If it wasn’t for you, I don’t know what would have happened…” Ashlynn said.

She was sincerely grateful.

Although he looked scary, he was always helping her.

“No problem,” Corentin said.

The driver came over after finishing them off. “Mr. Lloyd, what should we do to them?”

Corentin thought for a while and asked Ashlynn, “What do you think? After all, you are the one they hurt.”

Ashlynn looked at the gangsters on the ground who were beaten badly.

If she called the police, they would probably be released after being told off.

That would not make them better people.

These people were just born bad.

“Just leave them here. I’m fine anyway,” Ashlynn said.

Corentin signaled to the driver, and the driver told the gangsters to leave.

Chapter 754

Ashlynn glanced at the Bintley on the side of the road and asked, “Why is Mr. Lloyd here?”

Corentin chuckled. “Did you not see me in the ward? I was looking for a place to eat nearby. I did not expect to see you being bullied by gangsters. Fortunately, I bumped into you. Otherwise, it would be troublesome for you.”

“Thank you very much,” Ashlynn said again.

“That’s all?”

“What?” Ashlynn did not understand what he meant.

Corentin suggested, “I haven’t eaten. How about a meal together? You are my niece’s assistant. You should know where to eat delicious food in Luton, shouldn’t you?”

Ashlynn would have been unwilling before, but he saved her just now, and because of that, he had missed his meal.

This person was Anne’s uncle, but she still felt insecure.

“I’ve already eaten. I can recommend a place for you though,” Ashlynn said, looking for an excuse.

“How about this? I’m going back to Athetin tomorrow. Can we have dinner together?” Corentin asked.

Ashlynn’s eyes flickered, and she asked, “Why…why do you want to have dinner with me?”

They were not from the same social hierarchy.

One was a successful person, and the other was an ordinary person raised in a poor environment.

Corentin did not seem very high and mighty though.

“Maybe I want to know why you are so afraid of me.”

Ashlynn was shocked. She did not expect that he would want to know why.

“Then, it’s agreed. I’ll pick you up at the company after you get off work.” He turned around and got into the car right after he said that. He did not give Ashlynn a chance to refuse, nor did he invite her to get in the car.

Ashlynn watched the Bintley drive off and let out a deep breath.

He looked gentlemanly, cultivated, and dignified.

He was different from Salvatore.

He had saved her from some gangsters. She could not really refuse, could she?

Well, she should probably go to dinner with him as a show of gratitude.

When it was time to get off work, Ashlynn left the company building and wondered if Corentin would actually come. She looked up and saw a black Bintley parked not far away.

Corentin got out of the car and walked up to her with a kind smile on his face. “Shall we?”

Ashlynn nodded in a daze.

“Get in the car then.”

Ashlynn got into his car.

In the car, she smelt his cologne wafting all around her.

Ashlynn felt a little uncomfortable, sat by the car door, and focused on the outside.

Corentin was quiet and did not take the initiative to talk to her.

The car drove to the restaurant.

Corentin had reserved a private room, so they went straight there.

After entering the private room, Corentin walked over and pulled out a chair for her, behaving like a gentleman.

“Thank you.” Ashlynn sat down.

After sitting down, Corentin asked, “Have you been here?”

“No. This is the first time I dined at such an expensive place.” Ashlynn shook her head embarrassingly.

Corentin said, “This is my first time too.”

Ashlynn smiled stiffly, knowing that his first time was utterly different from hers.

They had a very formal dinner with red wine.

After the dishes were all served, Corentin told the waiter to leave. He poured red wine for Ashlynn himself.

Ashlynn was flattered. “Thank you…”

Corentin raised his glass. “Try it.”

Ashlynn drank the red wine, which tasted bittersweet.

 

Chapter 755

Corentin looked at Ashlynn while sipping red wine. He put down his glass and asked, “Is this your first time drinking red wine?”

“When I used to work somewhere else, I needed to drink and socialize. I did drink some back then.” Ashlynn put down her wine glass and said, “You saved me and invited me to dinner. You won’t fail to surprise me.”

Corentin’s slender fingers held the stem of the cup and gently shook it. “Then can you explain to me why you are so scared every time you see me? We don’t seem to know each other, do we?”

“I’m sorry, I was rude. It’s because you and my husband… look very similar. My husband was a persistent murderer who was punished by law and is now dead. That’s why I was scared when I saw your face, which looked exactly like his,” Ashlynn explained to him.

“Are we really that similar?” Corentin raised his eyebrows, expressing his curiosity.

“Yes, it’s just that you wear glasses, and he doesn’t.” Ashlynn reigned in her panic and looked at Corentin’s face.

“Is that so?” Corentin raised his hand, took off his glasses, and put them aside.

All of a sudden, Ashlynn sat up straight, her body tensed as she looked at the familiar face that had haunted her for years.

“We look really similar, apparently.” Corentin chuckled but did not put his glasses back on.

Ashlynn’s breathing was still rapid, so she lowered her eyes, trying not to look at Corentin’s face.

“Are you afraid of him because he killed someone?” Corentin asked again.

Ashlynn told herself repeatedly the person in front of her was not Salvatore. He was Corentin.

She swallowed, “He is a terrible man, murderous, even… he even killed my parents. To escape from him, I cooperated with the police and sent him to prison…” When she said these words, her throat tightened and shook in fear when she looked at Corentin.

Corentin frowned slightly. “That’s really scary. Do you have any children?”

Ashlynn’s fingers on the table twitched. “No…”

With a wine glass in his hand, Corentin looked at her with his amber eyes, listening intently.

After eating, Corentin insisted on sending Ashlynn back.

Ashlynn could not refuse, so she could only say yes.

She dropped her down near her house.

Corentin did not get out of the car.

“Thank you for sending me back,” Ashlynn said.

Corentin remembered something and said, “You’re welcome. I’m going to cooperate with your company soon, and we will meet again. Goodbye.”

After speaking, he raised the windows and left.

Ashlynn stood there, thinking about what he had said. She did not know about this, and she did not have a say in the matter either. She was just Ms. Vallois’s assistant, and she only did what Anne wanted her to do.

After having a meal with Corentin, her sense of uneasiness whenever she saw him was reduced.

She simply could not associate the elegance of his demeanor with Salvatore.

Did God send him to cure her fear of Salvatore?

The next morning, just as Ashlynn was about to enter the elevator, she saw a familiar figure and hurried over. “Ms. Vallois!”

Anne smiled when she saw her. “Good morning, Ms. Thompson.”

The two entered the elevator one after the other.

“You’re back!” Ashlynn said.

“Yes, I came back last night. It was a fun but tiring trip,” Anne said.

“Then you should rest for half a day.”

“Forget it, I haven’t done work for several days. By the way, I brought you some sea urchins. You can take them when you accompany me to the hospital at noon,” Anne said.

“Ah? Thank you, Ms. Vallois, but you can keep them for yourself!” Ashlynn was flustered.

“There are a lot of them, and my children and I can’t eat seafood. Anthony doesn’t care much about sea urchins, so I want to give them away. I am only giving it to you, don’t tell your colleagues!” Anne lowered her voice.
