Anne remained quiet.Sarah was right, and Anne knew well how her life was—aggrieved, exhausted, and tortured.Did she really want her children to be like her in the future?Thankfully, Cheyenne treated her very well, just like her own daughter. Yet, what about Bianca? Even though she was the children's aunt by blood, she acted just like an enemy. When Anne went to bed at night, she tossed and turned, finding it hard to fall asleep. She asked herself, did she really want her children to call Bianca their Mama?A voice in her head told her, "No! Don't! Absolutely not! That's my child!"As Anne did not sleep well the night before, she appeared to be in a low mood the next day at work, and her colleagues showed concern."Anne, what's wrong? What did you do last night?""You looked like you've done something tiring.""Duh. She's obviously tired!""How's that possible? What made her so exhausted? That's impossible!""You're not married, so you know nothing! I have nieces and
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 S
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
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
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 h
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.
Anthony appeared tense. Then, he removed the hands around his waist and turned to look at Anne. Anne had tears in her eyes, looking so pitiful and a little nervous."Aren't you afraid of me? But you also like me?""I like you more than I'm afraid of you, and I don't feel that way about others at all..." Anne met those sharp obsidian eyes that were sharp enough to penetrate her soul. "Master, my love for you has always been hidden in my heart, so what you only see is my fear of you..."After Anne finished speaking, she stepped forward, put both hands on Anthony's broad shoulders, tip-toed, and lightly kissed Anthony's thin lips.Gentle yet moving, making Anthony's heart tighten up. Then, he grabbed Anne's slender waist tightly and deepened the kiss. Anthony was getting really excited. He picked up Anne by the waist and threw her to the big bed in the room. The burly figure jumped directly at Anne, grabbing her chin and staring at her with black eyes."Liking me is more d
Dorothy went outside to check, then walked into the living room and asked, "Bianca, why hasn't Anthony come yet? He won't forget about such an important thing, will he? Anthony is not the kind of person who does things erratically! Why don't you call him?"Bianca looked at the time and found that it was five minutes to eight, so she said, "Let's just wait a little more. Anthony is really punctual, so he'll be here on the dot."However, he still did not appear even though it was already a minute past eight. Bianca glanced at her watch from time to time and waited until 8.10 a.m. If Anthony still did not come, they would miss their preferred time and the implied message of the chosen time. Hence, she took out her phone and called Anthony, but it went unanswered.Dorothy and Nigel were both staring at Bianca as she made the call. As Anthony could not be reached, she felt a little embarrassed. Then, she called again, but no one answered."He's probably busy," Bianca said. "You're
