Ch. 776..780: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 776-780

Chapter 776

“It’s okay. Dad never mentioned the Lloyds anyway. We will just ignore them. It’s just business so let’s not overthink this,” Anne said.

After leaving the hospital, Anne went to the Royal Mansion, and the triplets immediately threw themselves into her arms.

“Ah… Hang on! Hang on…” Anne gritted her teeth at the soreness at her back.

The triplets simply thought that Anne was playing with them and hurriedly crawled up her body.

“Mama, we heard that you went on a business trip again?”

“Is it hard to look after Grandpa’s company?”

“I want to help, Mama, so you won’t be tired!”

Anne stared at their faces and felt all the exhaustion that accumulated within her fading.

She cupped their cheeks and planted a kiss on each of their chubby cheeks. “Alright. Mama will retire when you grow up. I’ll stay home to laze away while you three go out to earn money.”

“Yeah! We will work hard!”

Anne grinned from ear to ear. It was a good thing to raise them to be responsible. Besides, she did not need much.

The four heard engine noises, and the triplets shouted, “Papa is back!”

They immediately dragged Anne to the door to welcome Anthony home.

The Rolls Loyce stopped, and Anthony got out, noticing Anne and the three children standing on the stairs from afar. He narrowed his eyes and, for a moment, felt as though he was merely a man returning home to his gentle wife and wonderful children.

“Papa!” Charlie thought that Anthony did not see them and waved his arms.

Chloe jumped up and down cheerfully.

Anne watched as Anthony walked toward them, and the Rolls Loyce did not move toward the garage, which meant that Anthony might be heading out again.

She instantly remembered what Anthony had said in the apartment about going back at night.

Anthony walked up the stairs, and Chloe leaped into his arms, giggling.

He continued to approach Anne with Chloe in his arms while staring at her with his dark, brooding eyes.

Anne looked away as she was overwhelmed by a strange feeling.

“Papa, Mama just came home, too! She arrived one minute earlier than you!” Chloe said, raising a finger.

“Is that so?” Anthony glanced at Anne. “What a coincidence.”

“A coincidence!” Charlie grabbed onto the fabric on Anthony’s trousers and said.

“Are you going out again later, Papa?” Chris asked.

Anthony looked at Chris, who was holding Anne’s hand. “Why do you ask?”

“Because your car is parked outside. You usually have it back inside the garage,” Chris said.

“Yeah! Papa will always park the car outside when you are going out!” Charlie agreed.

Chloe nodded. “Mmhm!”

Anne had not expected her children to be so observant and once again reminded herself that she must do everything to prevent such brilliant children from having regrets in their lives.

“Your mom and I are going out after dinner,” Anthony said.

“Oh…” Chloe was disappointed. “Are you going on a date without us again?”

Anne looked uncomfortable. “We are going nowhere.”

Anthony gave her a pointed look and asked Chloe, “Should we go on a date?”

Chloe thought about it and said, “You should!”

Anne instantly thought to herself, ‘Why did you bother looking so disappointed just now if you are going to agree? Was that just an act?!‘

 

Chapter 777

“If a boy and a girl go on a date, will they have a baby?” Charlie asked curiously.

“Are we going to have another sibling?” Chris asked.

Anne could sense the dangerous stare from Anthony and immediately covered Charlie’s mouth to stop him from continuing.

Charlie batted his doe–like eyes innocently while Hayden chuckled from behind them, thinking how wonderful it would be if the five of them were a family.

“Come on, let’s go to eat.” Anne dragged her sons away, knowing they would ask more absurd questions if she did not stop them.

The triplets were overjoyed to be with their parents, and Charlie insisted on feeding his mother. “Mama, say ah!”

Anne smiled and opened her mouth. “It tastes great.”

Charlie beamed at her.

Chloe slipped out of her seat and ran to Anthony. “Where are you two going for To the sea?”

your date?

Anthony picked her up and set her down on his lap. “No. We will come back tomorrow.”

“Papa, when can we go to the sea to play again?” Chloe asked.

“When do you want to go?” Anthony asked.

“After you come back?”

“Sure,” Anthony agreed.

Chloe got off his lap and leaped over to Anne. “Mama, we are going to the sea again!”

Anne glanced at Anthony, wondering if he meant it or was simply brushing it off.

Naturally, she wanted nothing more than to spend time with her children, but it seemed as though they were going out together too often.

The apartment door flew open, and Anne was pushed inside before being pinned against the wall. The inside of the apartment was pitch dark, and the sound of their breath echoed in the room.

“Turn the lights on… Umph!” She was not given the opportunity to finish her sentence.

“What’s the hurry? We will turn it on later…” he responded with a hoarse voice

‘What do you mean, later? Why did I let him bring me here again? Why do I allow him to force himself on me? I promised myself that I wouldn’t let him touch me again! Besides, he can’t possibly lose control like he did last night again!‘ she thought.

“Let… Let me go!” She struggled to break free.

He grabbed her chin and lifted it, his hot breath brushing through her skin. “What are you fighting me for?”

“Go find your fiance!” Her chest heaved as she suppressed her frustration. “Touch me again, and I’ll… Umph!”

Anthony sealed her lips and lifted her up. “Let’s go shower together…” He walked toward the bathroom with ease in the dark.

An hour later, Anthony carried Anne out of the bathroom and onto the bed.

She sprawled across the bed, with no strength left to move or speak at all.

Anthony got onto the bed and reached out to wrap his arm around her waist.

Startled, she said, “Anthony Marwood, don’t you dare…”

“Let’s sleep.” Anthony pulled her close and turned on the lamp on the nightstand.

Anne pressed her face against his chest and listened to his strong heartbeat while feeling wary.

Thankfully, Anthony did not do anything else other than sleep.

Exhausted, Anne closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep as well. Through the door, Anthony could hear noises outside.

Chapter 778

He got up and went outside the room to find his phone vibrating in the living room. He picked it up and answered the call. “Go on.”

“We tracked down the waitress, but she quit the next day, so we sent someone to track her down to her place in the outskirts. She said that a guy told her to do it. We checked the surveillance footage and tracked the man down, but he said he was hired by Michelle,” Ivan said.

“Michelle?” Anthony narrowed his eyes dangerously.

“He doesn’t look like he’s lying. Mr. Marwood, should we take Michelle into custody?”

“Go ahead.”

“Yes, sir.”

Bianca went to the Royal Mansion that night and asked Hayden, “Anthony hasn’t come home?”

“He’s probably still in the office.”

“I came from the Archduke Group.” Bianca tried her best to suppress her anger but could not control her expression.

“Ah. I suppose he is out on a business meeting, then!” Hayden said.

“What about the kids?”

“They are sleeping in the room.”

Bianca did not care and went upstairs to the children’s room.

Hayden felt slightly guilty for lying when Bianca found the children awake and playing with one another. As an experienced butler, he managed to handle the situation by asking, “Why did you wake up again? I thought you were asleep. Go back to sleep.”

“They don’t seem like they want to sleep.” Thinking that the children could be easily fooled into telling her the truth, she went and asked, “Where’s your dad? I’ll reward whoever knows.

“What’s the reward? I want money!” Chloe said.

“Sure. Anything,” Bianca agreed.

“Papa went to work and has not come back!” Chloe said.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes! Papa called us!” Chloe nodded.

Charlie said, “Working!”

“Working!” Chris agreed.

Bianca did not believe that for a moment as she could not find Anthony in Archduke Group, but then again, Anthony was not bound to work at the same place and could be somewhere else.

“We answered. Where’s our reward?” Chloe asked.

Bianca did not mind spending money. “Here.” She took out some money from her and handed it to the triplets.

She studied their innocent smiles for a moment before leaving.

She went to her studio and spotted Michelle in the lobby of the building. “How many times do I have to tell you that I will recommend you when there’s a job opportunity? What’s the hurry?”

Michelle had waited long enough, and there was still no update from Bianca. There was a limit to her youth, especially in show business. She had to be as popular as she could while she still could.

“Besides, I did give you something, didn’t I? You are included in the recent entertainment show, right?”

“They deleted most of my scene afterward, and even if I can’t be in the center for the advertisement, I have to be at least placed somewhere close to the center. I’m not getting any attention at all. It’s just a waste of time,” Michelle said.

“You have to be patient. There will be better opportunities.” Bianca was about to leave when a car drove by and stopped abruptly. A group of bodyguards came out of the car and marched toward Michelle.

“Ms. Michelle Grainger, we need your cooperation for a certain investigation. Please get in the car.”

Bianca’s eyes darted away, and thought to herself, ‘They found out already? It’s a good thing that I took precautions then, or they would have noticed that I’m behind everything.”

“You are all Anthony’s bodyguards, right? What did I do?” Michelle glanced at Bianca in confusion.

Bianca approached her and whispered gently, “I forgot to mention something. A certain famous director contacted me, saying that he needs an actress for the female antagonist. I think you are perfect for the role. You love being in movies, don’t you? I will recommend you for the role.”

Chapter 779

Michelle instantly came to a realization that Bianca must have done something and wanted her to take the blame.

Bianca turned to face the bodyguards. “Don’t take her away. I’ll talk to Anthony later.” “This is our mission. Please don’t make it difficult for us,” one of the bodyguards said.

“I’m Anthony’s fiance. What I say goes. Do you want her? Over my dead body!” Bianca insisted.

If they took Michelle, she would not be able to control the situation fully.

The bodyguards knew that she was Anthony’s fiance, or they would not have bothered trying to persuade her and would have forcefully taken Michelle away. Since they could not do so by force, the bodyguards were placed in an extremely difficult position.

“What are you worried about? I’ll tell Anthony that it’s not your issue. Whoever came today, I won’t let them take Michelle,” Bianca said before looking away.

“Or you can take me to Anthony instead.”

She was looking for him anyway.

The bodyguards remained quiet, and one of them turned to call Ivan, who called Anthony for further instruction, but Anthony did not answer.

In the end, they had to give up as Michelle was not going anywhere.

After the bodyguards left, Michelle asked, “What did you do this time?”

“Nothing too bad. I hired someone to drug Anthony, and he went to sleep with another woman. You must be curious as to why I would drug him. It’s the way we have fun, okay? You don’t need to know

much. Just take the blame for this. I will contact the director for you later at night, and you should be able to meet with him tomorrow,” Bianca said expressionlessly.

After sending Michelle on her way, Bianca returned to her studio. She was not worried about Michelle betraying her and simply wanted to know where Anthony was.

She could not understand why the bodyguards refused to take her to Anthony. She had thought that Anthony did not return to the Royal Mansion to deal with Michelle, but that was clearly not the case.

Could he be with Anne and therefore could not meet with her?

Bianca thought back to the time when she was supposed to register for marriage with Anthony when both Anthony and Anne went missing.

Similar situations had happened more than once, and she could sense that something was wrong.

At night, Bianca returned to her apartment. When she woke up the next morning, she went to sit down on the couch, and a document on the coffee table drew her attention.

Back when there were conflicts concerning Nigel’s will, she had sent someone to check on all the properties and inheritance Nigel had placed under Anne’s name and found that he had bought an apartment, which he placed under Anne’s name.

Since the truth about the paternity test had been exposed, she knew that there was no way for her to take the apartment as her own. However, she suddenly started wondering if Anne would stay in the discreet apartment. If she did, there would be no way for anyone to find her.

The more Bianca thought about it, the more she felt like there was more to the story, so she grabbed her car keys and left home.

If she wanted access to the apartment, she would first have to obtain the keys.

She arrived at the area where Anne lived and hired a locksmith to unlock the door before

proceeding to search every apartment corner. Eventually, she found a set of brand–new keys in one of the drawers in the room.

It was a set of spare keys.

Bianca headed for the apartment right away.

After exiting the elevator, she strolled down the corridor, looking around for the correct unit number. There were two elevators in the building and only two apartments on each floor, and she noticed that the apartment further down belonged to Anne.

She stood outside the door with her hands on the keys, anxiously wondering if she would open the door to find something she was not supposed to see.

‘No way. Anthony shouldn’t be here. He’s working…‘ she told herself.

Bianca opened the door, walked in, and immediately noticed that there was not a single pair of shoes on the porch.

The apartment was quiet, with no sign of people living there at all.

She relaxed at the fact that Anne and Anthony were not in this apartment, but when she saw how beautifully the apartment was renovated, she could not help but feel drowned in jealousy.

‘She is nothing but a bast*ard daughter. Why is Dad treating her so well?‘ She thought.

She moved toward the balcony and immediately hid behind the curtains when she saw two people clinging together in the apartment across.

She hid because she saw Anne and thought to herself, ‘What is Anne doing here? Who’s the man she’s with?’

Bianca gently lifted the curtains to peek out.

Chapter 780

Anne sat on the fences, and the man was dressed in pajamas. His back faced Bianca, so she could not see his face, but she could see the way he was holding onto Anne’s waist.

Anne whimpered and said, “Enough. Let me down…” She grabbed onto the man’s shoulders to steady herself.

“Call me Master.”

Bianca did not dare to imagine anything when she first saw the man’s figure, but her bubble had been shattered when she heard his voice.

Her hand on the curtains shivered. She paled while looking at the two across as though she had been struck by lightning.

“Will you really let me go once I do that? Or are you just going to switch to a different spot? The night before last night, last night and today… You just won’t let me leave… Umph!” Anne complained.

Anthony sealed her lips.

Unable to bear witness to the scene any longer, Bianca stumbled and came close to falling.

Her tears scrolled down her cheeks as she realized that they had been together for two nights in a row.

‘How? The night before last night… Isn’t that the night when Anthony was drugged?‘ she thought.

Oliver said that Anthony had gone to another woman, and from what Anne had said, Anthony had gone to Anne.

Bianca was certain that Anne was in Athetin at the time, and the only way that could be possible was that Anthony had gone through the trouble of having Anne sent back to him, which meant that Anthony would rather wait than settle for Bianca.

Bianca thought back to the way she went to mock Anne and realized that Anne must have been looking down on her.

Bianca trembled in anger at the humiliation as she narrowed her eyes viciously.

‘Anne, die! Go to hell! I will make you suffer for this!‘ she thought.

Anne left the apartment when Anthony was not paying attention as she did not want to leave in his car.

She walked into the elevator and did not notice Bianca walking out of the apartment next door.

Bianca had completely lost her ability to think and set aside all concerns as she knocked on Anthony’s door.

Anne realized that she had left her phone behind when she arrived on the ground floor and turned back. She knew that she would run into Anthony again, but she needed her phone.

When she arrived at the door, she noticed that the door was not shut and stilled when she heard Bianca’s voice.

‘Bianca is here? Good thing I didn’t run into her, then,’ she thought.

Anne was about to leave when she heard Bianca’s miserable tone.

“Yes. I was the one who drugged you, but I was left with no choice. It’s humiliating enough that I needed to drug my own fiance, and for you to go to Anne… Anthony, have you no regard for my pride?

My mom keeps badgering me to bear your child when she doesn’t even know that you’ve never laid a finger on me!”

Shocked, Anne could not help but take two steps forward. She spotted Anthony and Bianca inside and confirmed that Bianca was the one who spoke.

Her eyes widened in disbelief. Anthony was with Bianca most of the time, and Bianca lived in the Royal Mansion, but Anthony had never touched her?

The first question that popped up in Anne’s mind was why. Anthony clearly had no issues in bed; not only did he have no issue with it, he obviously had a high sex drive.

She was drowned in her thoughts when she dazedly noticed a sharp stare on her.

When Anne met Anthony’s dangerous dark eyes, she jolted and hid before turning to leave.

She arrived at the apartment in Anthony’s car, and she left by catching a taxi on her own.

Even after she had gotten into the taxi, she could still hear her own heart pounding as though she had discovered the biggest secret on earth.

She was instantly reminded of the time when Anthony told her that he had not touched Bianca and realized that he meant that he had never touched Bianca instead of only referring to that particular night.

Anthony and Bianca seemed to love one another and were engaged, so it did not seem sensible that they two had never been intimate.

Anne could not comprehend the situation, no matter how much she thought about it.

Shortly after, she realized that she still had yet to get her phone back and decided that she would have to wait until the next time.

She remained in her own office to work until noon when her phone in the office rang.

She picked it up and said, “Hello?”

“Come down.”

Anne instinctively tensed at the sound of Anthony’s voice, feeling increasingly nervous

when she realized that Anthony was waiting downstairs. “Did you come to kill me?” “Yes.”
