Anne stood at the entrance and watched the car disappear before she turned around and went inside.As soon as she got to the door, she saw Sarah standing there smiling at her. "Why do I see that that car doesn't look like Anthony's?""Why must it be Anthony's car? Doesn't he have his own things to do?" Anne felt that she was being made fun of by her mother."It's Lucas, right?" Sarah asked.Anne did not deny it. "Mm-hmm. It's him. I bumped into him and his girlfriend when I was buying the massage chair. He said that he'll take me home." She did not say that she noticed Lucas' girlfriend has a mole at the corner of her lips. What if it was not her? She was just being cautious in case of alerting the enemy!"Girlfriend? He has a girlfriend now? I really thought he would be hung up on you. It seems like he is a person who would move on as soon as he turned away." Sarah felt that reliable men truly were rare treasures."Isn't it great like that?" Anne asked. "He and I are impossible.
She was never like that in the past.Ever since Nigel was gone, she would often space out. She would think about everything from the time when she was dating Nigel, when they broke up, when she married Ron, and when she met Nigel again.She did not deny that her heart fluttered when she saw Nigel.His appearance, the way he worked so hard, and his gentlemanly and gentle demeanor.After he passed away, some of the pent-up emotions deep within just burst out of her…Sarah decided to go visit Nigel's grave.She bought alcohol, candles, and fresh flowers.She entered the mountainous area. A person was keeping watch over the cemetery.It was after the person let her pass at the entrance that she could drive in.When she got to the base of the mountain, Sarah turned off the engine and got out of the car.There was a long stretch of steps in front of her. She then walked up the steps while carrying the things she brought.She was panting hard when she got to the top.The cemetery
After Anne saw the police off, her morning was practically gone.The police said that Mr. Walker kept refusing to tell them who the mastermind behind this was and kept saying he was greedy for money.The others were even more clueless because Mr. Walker was their leader.It was after lunch that she got to take a rest for a while.Anne was thinking of how the police officer spoke haltingly to her before he left. He also told her that since Mr. Walker admitted that it was his own doing, then she should just stop right there.Why did he say that?Why was he still so stubborn after he was taken to the police station?Anne wanted to laugh but that laughter was unusually cold.What else could be the reason? It surely was because of Anthony. Bianca was his fiancee.Mr. Walker could go to prison, but he absolutely would not dare to get his family involved.In fact, she already knew this from the very beginning.She could catch Mr. Walker, at best. As for Dorothy and Bianca, who were
"Do you want something to eat?" asked Anthony."What to eat?" asked Charlie, and there was a knock on the office door as soon as he said that."Come in," Anthony said in a deep voice.'This is my office. Who are you to call the shots?' That was Anne's first reaction.The person who came in was Ivan. He brought the food that he had bought into the office and placed them on the coffee table.They were cute little snacks and freshly-pressed justice. It was a complete afternoon tea.After Ivan was done setting the snacks up, he left.Anne stroked the triplets' little heads. "You three should go on and have some. I still have things to do. After I'm done, let's go home together.""Have a bite before you leave," Anthony said."It's fine. Let them have it.""I bought them for you." Anthony's forceful air started to fill the room. He was so domineering that he left others no way out.Anne looked at the food on the table and saw that there were four glasses of juice.Anthony never d
She waited until the dial tone was finished, yet nobody picked up the call.That was strange. Where was she? Could she be making dinner?Anne was thinking of calling again later or waiting until her mother returned her call when she noticed the missed call.After that, she went to spend time with the children.They already had dinner, yet Sarah still has not called her back.Anne stood in the family room to make a call, but still, nobody picked up her call. What could Sarah be doing?Logically speaking, if she did not return to have dinner, her mother should call her to check on her!In the past, she has always been the one who wanted Anne to get together with Anthony and gave Anne ideas. Could it be that she simply does not want to call her anymore?"Mama, come play ball with us!" The triplets surrounded their Mama, hugged her legs, and refused to let go.Anne put her phone aside. "Alright."When she went out, she did not see Anthony. He must be in the study.She brought th
Anthony's body was stiffened by her coquettish voice and he slowed down a little.Anne found the right moment and kicked the ball away immediately. "Charlie, Chris!"Charlie and Chris immediately rushed toward the ball. Both of them cooperated with one another and with a kick from their short legs, they successfully shot the ball into the net."We scored! Yay!" Charlie and Chris told Mama happily.Anne felt smug. Even though they did not win fair and square, the children were still happy!Anthony wrapped his arm around her slender waist and pressed it against his flat lower abdomen. He squinted his black eyes a little and stared at her burning and reddened little face with a darkened gaze. "Are you satisfied?""Aren't they your sons as well?" Anne refuted and tried to pull his chain-like arms away from her waist. The children were present! However, the chain did not budge at all!"When you were playing, why didn't you think of letting them score one? Hmm?" Anthony asked.Do not
All she saw in her blurry vision was Anthony's domineering face. After his hair was drenched, the droplets were dripping down his forehead. Even the fierceness of his facial features was much restrained.However, Anne was still very angry because it was not her own will."I'm done showering. Take your time." Anne grabbed the towel at the side and both her legs turned to jelly as she wanted to leave the bathroom.Before she managed to step out, something tightened around her arm and she was pulled back in.She was so pissed that she lashed out. "What exactly do you want to do?Anne's annoyance stirred up a rage within Anthony's chest. With a loud bang, he pressed her against the glass. "Take a shower with me!"Anne bit her lips as she was very furious.Anthony simply pretended not to see that she was not happy. He turned around, walked into the shower, and cleansed his body as if nobody else was with him.Anne did not dare to leave. From the signs exhibited earlier, it was very
"They are already asleep," Anthony insisted.Anne was very unhappy, so she walked back and forth by the bed. This guy was too domineering!He wanted to be in control of everything!Anthony put down his phone and got out of bed.He walked to Anne, carried her in his arms, and pressed her to the bed. "Go to bed now. Otherwise, I will make you too tired to get out of bed the next day."Anne gritted her teeth and stared at him angrily.Anthony turned over, lay on the side, and turned off the light.It was pitch black in the bedroom.Anne really wanted to kick him to death!Fortunately, Anthony, who was next to her, did not do anything to her after turning off the lights.Anne turned her back to him and closed her eyes.She was trying to convince herself to forget about it and go to sleep as though it was her own room!It was just like sleeping in your own room.As she was thinking about it, she fell asleep.In her sleep, she felt someone hugging her.She did not have the con
At first, Corentin was stunned. Then, he said, "Who have I killed? Ash, you've misunderstood. I've changed now. It's true. Hurry up and come down. The ravioli is getting cold.""Don't come over! I'll jump if you get any closer!" Ashlynn shouted hysterically."Alright, alright. I won't go over!" Corentin did not dare to take another step further. "Ash, I'm telling the truth. I didn't kill anybody. Come down, and I'll explain to you. It's all a misunderstanding.""Actually, I've felt it was strange since the beginning. It's just that Anne's reassurance dispelled my suspicion about you." Tears filled Ashlynn's eyes, but they did not stream down her face. She looked at Corentin and said, "But I know everything now. I don't have evidence, but you are Salvatore Yeager. At first, I thought you would change for the sake of the child. In the end… In the end, you didn't even spare the child's grandparents. Salvatore, are you even human? Why would a monster like you exist?""Ash, come down, a
After Ashlynn was discharged from the hospital, she called Anne when she was alone in the room."Anne, are you alright? I heard you were taken by Tommy and were later saved by Anthony.""Mmhmm. I'm fine. I've gotten home safely.""That's wonderful," said Ashlynn.Anne could tell that Ashlynn was not feeling alright, so she asked, "What's the matter? Are you not in a good mood?""I've found out about my parent's passing," said Ashlynn.Anne was stunned. She found out? "I'm sorry, Ashlynn. I've kept it hidden from you.""It's fine. I know you're being considerate to me and the child." Ashlynn took a pause before asking again, "Was Tommy killed by you guys?""No. He fled the cruise ship back then. When we found him, he was already killed by somebody. His body was pulled up from the sea.""Corentin was there as well, wasn't he?""That's right. Did he tell you that?"Ashlynn's eyes looked emotionless. "Have you guys ever suspected Corentin?"Anne immediately got so nervous tha
Corentin hugged Ashlynn. "I heard that Tommy's dead, so your parents' murders have been avenged. Now, they can only rest in peace. Calm down."Ashlynn collapsed in his arms as she cried. Then, she started to feel waves of throbbing pain in her belly, and her face turned pale.Corentin noticed something was not right with her, so he hurriedly roared at the driver, "Go to the hospital now!""Hurry up!" Jeremy urged. He held Ashlynn's hand and realized that it was freezing. "Ashlynn, you have to be alright. You still have me! Hang in there, Ashlynn!"Ashlynn looked at him with tears in her eyes. She was extremely saddened. She could not understand why things would end up like that. Did she not deserve to have parents?When Ashlynn woke up, she was already at the hospital.She subconsciously touched her belly, but Corentin grabbed her hand. "You're showing signs of miscarriage, so you need to recuperate."Ashlynn scanned around the room and asked, "Where's Jeremy?""He's outside. H
"I know…" Jeremy looked up and saw Ashlynn standing at the entrance. He was so shocked, and he immediately stood up. "Why…are you here?"Ashlynn stood there dazed. She looked at Jeremy, then the person who spoke earlier. "What do you guys mean when you talk about my parents' soul resting in peace?""Nothing. We were talking about someone else."Ashlynn could tell from their faces that they were clearly panicking. She was not deaf. She heard what they said clearly.Her face turned pale, and she immediately searched for her phone. She did not have it on her, so she rushed to the car."Ashlynn!" Jeremy ran after her and stopped her. "What are you doing?""I'm going to call Mom and Dad.""They are traveling. Don't disturb them."Ashlynn looked at him. "Jeremy, tell me honestly, why aren't Mom and Dad coming home? Don't lie! I have always felt it was strange. Why haven't they come home when I'm already so far along? Something is wrong, isn't it? Did something…really happen to them?"
Corentin came forward and asked, "Anne, are you alright?"Anne nodded."You don't look too well. What happened?""Tommy's dead," said Anthony."Have you found the cure?" asked Corentin.Anne shook her head."Unfortunately, the infected people would have to endure it a little longer."Anne suddenly thought of something, and she immediately pushed Anthony away. "Don't touch me."Only then, Corentin noticed a small patch of ulcer below Anne's cheek. "Anne, did Tommy drug you?"Anthony frowned. "I don't mind.""I do. Both of us would not be able to have contact with the children, and they will worry." Anne rejected his touch.Anthony had been touching her the whole time. It was unclear if he had been infected. Anne was very worried."It wouldn't make a difference now. If anything, I would have already been infected just now," said Anthony.Anne still refused to listen. "That's not necessary. Just don't touch me. We still don't know where the cure is, and Tommy died so suddenly
Just as Tommy finished his sentence, he heard a commotion behind him.Ivan was fighting with the assassin, and every strike he delivered was fatal. If Ivan were not skilled in combat, the professional assassin could have killed him in just a few moves.Tommy realized something was up, so he immediately wanted to grab Anne.While Anne retreated, she was pulled into a person's arms."Let me go!" She thought it was a man she did not know, so she hated to be touched like that."Anne."Anne was stunned. She looked up and felt happy to see a familiar face. "Anthony?""It's me."Tommy was infuriated as he watched the two of them looking lovingly at each other, Tommy became infuriated."As expected, Anne, you did leave a trace for Anthony." Tommy's expression darkened."You're the one who took me too lightly," said Anne.It was because she had always wanted to run away from Anthony in the past that he had the wrong impression, was it not? "So what? You want to kill me? With just t
Anne was drugged at that moment, and there were surveillance cameras all over the cruise ship. She saw a surveillance camera over her head when she was returning to the room. Therefore, it was impossible for her to sneak around in the middle of the night if she wanted to.Tommy had long been guarding against her.However, Anne still left Anthony some clues before she left him. She believed Anthony would find her very soon, but she never expected that he would do it so quickly.At daybreak, she seemed to have heard the rumbling of a helicopter above her. Then, the door swung open. Before Anne could make sense of the situation, she was picked up. "How did you get the message out?" Tommy said. He even searched Anne's body after that."Ah! Are you crazy? I don't have a phone!""Don't think Anthony can take you away just because he's here. If I'm going to hell, I'm dragging you along with me! Let's go!""You…" Anne had no strength, so she was dragged out of the room by him.He thre
Anne ignored him.If she were not afraid that Tommy would pull some tricks behind her back, she would have slept with her back facing him."Do you remember running to my home and sleeping on my bed when Anthony bullied you as a child?"I don't.""I know you do. I truly wanted to help you back then," said Tommy.Anne knew he was speaking the truth, so she did not refute him. She stared at the ceiling and said, "I think the past Tommy died a long time ago."Tommy's expression was mixed, and he asked, "Are we not able to go back anymore?""Instead of asking me this now, you should've gone to hell after you killed the people I cared about. No matter how unhappy your childhood was, you can't hurt others for your own pleasure." At that moment, Anne did not pity Tommy at all."Look at you on your high horse. Has Anthony not killed anybody before? Has Corentin not killed anybody before? Why did you forgive them for killing people but not me? Just because the victims were your friends?
Seeing that she did not move at all, Tommy said, "It won't be good for you if you don't eat."Anne thought that he made sense. If she did not eat, she would go hungry and would have no strength later. How could she fight with Tommy then? It was because she refused to eat and only drank water while hiding in her room that Tommy drugged her.After a while, she seemed to have figured it out.She picked up the fork and started eating the fish.Tommy saw her eating and asked, "How was it?""Could it be that you're the one who made it?" Anne looked up and shot a glance at him lazily."That's correct. I am the one who made it."Anne thought, 'Is this something worthy to be praised?'"It must be tough for you to do such a thing on top of everything else.""If you're worried that it's tough for me, why don't you make it with me?""I don't know how to cook.""How great. You just have to enjoy being served." Tommy clicked his tongue, but he was looking at Anne with a doting gaze.Anne
