"It's been two weeks. So, we can do it now. Stop being so unreasonable." Anthony directly used force."Let's just wait…wait…""Listen to me if you want to keep your hand," Anthony warned. "No. Don't…" Anthony cried, clinging to the wall with her hands.How could she resist Anthony with her strength? In the end, Anthony still dragged her away, leaving trails of nail prints on the white wall…Anne realized that whether she offended Anthony or not, she would not have a good ending. It was as if even breathing was a sin. It was already noon when Anne woke up, and the room was a mess, including herself. She hugged the pillow and cried her heart out, sobbing and choking in tears.After crying for a long time, Anne finally calmed down. Indeed…she still needed to get out of bed and care for her children after crying. She could not tell anyone what she suffered, pretending nothing ever happened.Walking out of the room, Anne found her bag thrown in the living room. Then, she took he
"She…didn't say anything?""I wouldn't have asked you if she did." Anne's tone was unkind. After all, she had just fought Dorothy and Bianca and was tortured by Anthony all night. Hence, it was impossible for Anne to put on an amicable front. Besides, if her mother were a homewrecker, this man would surely be a horrible person too! There was a hint of hesitance on Nigel's calm face, and he answered, "We were together but separated after that. Your mom was not a homewrecker. When we got together, I was already divorced." "Was it…the divorce that was posted on the Internet?" Anne asked. Then, she added after a pause, "I didn't mean to expose your past. I just want to know the truth." "There's nothing to hide. It's indeed as what the Internet said," Nigel replied, "so, don't misunderstand your mom. She's a great woman."Anne was dumbfounded. This was the first time she heard someone else saying her mother was a good person. In the past, Sarah was often described as a third pa
That's right. I don't plan to get married." Sarah touched Anne's forehead and asked, "My child, did something traumatize you?"Anne dodged. "I'm good." Then, she added after hesitating, "Mom, why don't you leave Luton with me?""Why?" Sarah was puzzled. "Are you worried about the Faye family? I'm not afraid of anything! But if you want to leave, I'll follow you." Anne looked at her in surprise. "I thought you wouldn't want to.""I'm not afraid of them, but they disgust me," Sarah said, "out of sight, out of mind! There was only one concern left in Anne's mind, her children. First, she would need to find the right time to tell Sarah… Anne waited until Sarah took a nap, and she texted Anthony when she thought of something, [I talked to Nigel when he came to the hospital. He told me he was divorced when he met my mom. So, she was never a homewrecker.]No matter what, Anne did not want to be misunderstood, especially by Anthony. If his fiancee was upset, he should stop coming
The distance was so close that Anne's face instantly dropped. When she returned to her senses, Anne tilted her head back, got up, and left the seat."I'm eating with my mom. Enjoy your dinner." Anne refused."Aren't you quick to turn your back on me?" Tommy got up and said in a strange tone, "Didn't you say you wanted to thank me a few days ago? Is that how you repay me?"Anne could not find the words to argue. After all, she was grateful, and it was indeed unjustified to forget his help in the blink of an eye."Where are we having dinner?"Tommy instantly smiled. "Let's go, and don't worry as there won't be seafood."Anne followed Tommy to the restaurant for dinner as if she was completing a mission. The restaurant offered Luton's specialty cuisine, and they could see the beautiful night view outside from the window on the second floor."Those who dine here are couples and families. What do you think our relationship is?" Tommy asked. His slender fingers held the rim of the w
Dorothy chuckled. She liked how her husband relied on her so much. No one could else compare to her, and she could not be replaced either! However, the way Nigel looked at Anne just now made her uncomfortable. After all, Anne was young and beautiful, and that pretty little face could definitely charm any man! "I didn't expect Sarah to be alone after giving birth to a child. However, I heard that she and Ron had just divorced not long ago. It seems that when they married, Sarah concealed the fact that she had given birth to a child, and she was divorced after it was discovered. How could a mother abandon her daughter to someone else while she married and enjoyed life? She's such a horrible person." Dorothy shook her head in contempt. Nigel became gloomier when he heard that. "Where did you hear that?""I found out after a little inquiry. After all, it's related to Bianca's future husband's family, so we must know a little about them. But Anthony didn't plan to invite anyone from hi
Was he faking an accident? But what benefits would he get from her?"I think I sprained my leg." Nigel seemed to be in pain. Anne was in a dilemma. Should she pretend she did not see it, or should she help him?If he sprained his leg, he could not drive, right?!"Can you drive? Do you mind sending me to the hospital?" Nigel asked for her help.This put Anne in a difficult situation. It felt like she was caught in a position where she could not decide if she should help the fallen elderly on the road. In the end, Anne sent Nigel to the hospital for an examination and X-ray scan.Anne sat at the round table in the hospital, waiting. She thought Nigel was strange for insisting she stay. Could he not call his own wife or daughter over? He did not even mention them once. Moreover, Anne was even more reluctant to call Bianca as she might say she was deliberately getting close to him. Anne decided to leave once Nigel came out. Ten minutes later, a glass of water was placed in fr
Two hours later, Nigel received the paternity test, which indicated that he was Anne's biological father.Nigel's hands were shaking.Sarah was actually pregnant with his child back then. When did she find out she was pregnant? After or before the breakup?Nigel sat on the bench for a long time and did not leave, feeling very upset. He did not know he had another daughter, letting her grow up without fatherly love. He felt extremely guilty. Anne was home alone and had nothing to do, so she went for a walk. Later, she went to the children's clothing store, wanting to buy a few pairs of shoes for the triplets. Anne felt like someone was following her as she walked along the road. Finally, she turned and was shocked to find Nigel standing not far from her.Why did they meet again? Nigel approached Anne and stared at her face as if wanting to make up for the missing years. He knew that looking at her this way would not be enough, but how could he tell her that he was her biologi
Then again, why would Bianca call her? Had she not learned her lessons from what happened before? Anne did not want to answer Bianca's call, but she knew she would keep calling if she did not pick up.Anne went to the washroom and answered the phone, "What the hell do you want now?""I'm getting engaged the day after tomorrow, so I'm inviting you to the party!" Bianca's voice sounded casual, but there was a hint of smugness. Anne was shocked by her actions. Inviting her to the party?"Are you out of your mind?" Anne blurted out her thoughts."Are you scared to come?" Bianca asked."Yes, I'm scared." Anne was not triggered by Bianca's aggressiveness."No way. You have to come. Otherwise, how can I make you give up on Anthony? I'll find someone to drag you over if you don't come."Anne's gaze turned cold. Did Bianca really think she cared about their engagement party? In order to show off, she actually invited her rival! Oh, Anne almost forgot. Bianca had never considered Anne
