Anne looked at her head closely and all she saw was a piece of square gauze.In other words, nobody saw her ugly scar when she went out for a spin during the day."Are you satisfied?" Anthony hugged her from behind. He wrapped his arms around her tiny waist and stuck himself so close to her that his deep voice could be heard right next to her.Anne's face flushed a little. "Mm-hmm. The gauze can only be taken away after my hair grows out."Anthony touched her chin with his long finger and turned her face to one side, so the gauze on her head could not be seen anymore.Anne's watery eyes met Anthony's deep black eyes, and she could not help but cowered a little.She was completely defenseless when his thin lips landed on her lips.Her long lashes trembled a little and her eyes were wide open as if she was a frightened butterfly.She grabbed Anthony's pajamas with both her hands as she wanted to push him away. However, she felt that she should not either, and like an innocent gir
How could Anthony be satisfied with that brief peck? He turned from being passive to taking charge and his thin lips were almost going to press against hers.Before their lips touched, he heard someone clawing at the door…"Papa, Mama! Are you awake? The sun is already up!""We want to enter!""We brought breakfast!"It was after Anne was held and kissed a bunch that she managed to get off Anthony's lap. Her face was completely flushed.Anthony got off the bed, glanced at her deeply with his black eyes, and he went to open the door.Once he opened the door, he saw the triplets standing outside the door with their little heads lifted and little mouths wide open like baby birds waiting to be fed. Chris, especially, was holding a plate with breakfast on it in his hands.One serving was, of course, not enough, so the rest of the food was on the plate carried by the maid behind him.Mia kept her head lowered and she did not dare to look at the man in the room."Papa, we brought
Would there be any unforeseen events in the future?Anthony had no expression on his face. His emotion did not fluctuate because of such a matter.He only said, "Continue keeping an eye on her.""Yes, I've always been keeping an eye on her," said Oliver.Anne played with the children in the morning and they even asked when she would be going on a date with Anthony. This showed they often went on dates in the past.It was just that she did not remember anything anymore and had to rely on things that happened around her to try to figure it out and imagine.Anthony called her at noon to ask if she had lunch and if she was feeling unwell. He said that he would be returning as soon as he finished handling his matters.In fact, in the first few days, Anne indeed was nervous because she was unfamiliar with this world and she relied on Anthony.At that moment, it had already been almost more than a week, so she had already gotten used to it and was no longer feeling uneasy anymore.Sh
"Perhaps he has put them away," said Anne."What put them away? There's no such thing at all. I know it best," said Bianca, "I was the person staying here in the past."Anne looked at her in surprise and she got even more confused."I used to be Anthony's fiancee. Anthony and I had a conflict, and he got pissed off. Therefore, he kept doing some things that I can't understand. Saying that you're Mrs. Marwood, for example. He must be deliberately pissing me off." Bianca looked depressed."But I gave birth to his children," Anne defended herself."That was an accident. In fact, the source of all the problems was your mother, Sarah. She married Anthony's father, so of course, Anthony hated you. I don't know what happened, but both of you met each other abroad. After you slept with Anthony, you ran away. No one knew that you had given birth to the children at all. Anthony only learned of the existence of the children later. However, we were already engaged at that time…"Anne did not
"She isn't. The DNA paternity test showed that she and your father are not related by blood. It was all made up by Bianca's mother," said Anthony."She's not?""You can do a kinship test with her," said Anthony.Anne believed what he said. After all, the result of a DNA paternity test could be verified.However, there was still something that was even more beyond her understanding and was so important to her deep down."You said…we're married, then why haven't I seen any of our wedding photos?""We didn't have a wedding," said Anthony."Why?""Come here." Anthony did not answer but brought her to the study instead.He sat on the chair, made Anne sit on his lap, and then turned on the laptop in front of them.Anne saw photos of her and Anthony, as well as the children, out at sea.They were on a luxury yacht and they dived deep into the sea. They just looked so happy.She particularly noticed that her face was all smiles and looked gentle.There was also a photo of her swim
She stood by the fence outside looking at the scenery in the distance with her lips curling into a faint smile.Mia walked over. "You seemed to be very happy, Mrs. Marwood."Anne glanced at her and nodded. "It turns out Anthony and I have gotten our marriage certificate. I've seen it myself."Mia then proceeded to carry out her duties. She took the opportunity to go to the servants' quarters and tipped off Bianca.Bianca exploded in anger. "He bought that for me! Did he not spare my feelings at all?""Also, I asked Mrs. Marwood, and it turns out she and Mr. Marwood have gotten their marriage certificate," said Mia."That's impossible!""I think Mrs. Marwood would not have said that if it's false," said Mia.Bianca immediately hung up the call. She then used her contacts to check with the City Hall.The result of her investigation almost made her faint. She collapsed on the couch and was so pissed that she almost could not breathe.Dorothy, who came downstairs, saw her daughte
"There!" Anne pointed at the railing of the stairs. "I seemed to be standing there with the children and waiting for you to come home. Then…then, your car was there, and you came out of the car. Then…you carried Chloe…I can't recall what happened after that anymore, but what I said is correct, right?"The lines of Anthony's features were not that cold and stiff anymore. "That's right.""I feel I'll be recovering my memory very soon." Anne held back her shyness and kissed Anthony on his thin lips.Anthony felt as if his chest had received a heavy blow, which made his black eyes instantly turn into a daze.When he regained his senses, Anne was already long gone.Anthony's gaze was deep beyond measure. He took out his phone and gave Kathryn a call.Kathryn said over the phone, "This is a sign of her memory recovering."The air around Anthony became eerily cold. Of course, he did not wish for her memory to recover!Kathryn could even sense the low atmospheric pressure around Anthon
Anne just watched the triplets as they counted how much money they needed for four cups of drink with their short little fingers."Three dollars for one cup, six dollars for two cups... fifteen dollars for five cups!" Charlie managed to count the amount of money needed.Then Chloe took out the money from her cute little bag and counted the coins she had. She gave the exact amount of coins to the owner.The owner took the money and counted it, and it was the right amount. He could not help being surprised by the high IQ of the young children.However, he dared not take the money.If some two-year-old children came to buy things from you without the presence of any parent, would you take their money? Would the parents not get really mad when they came as they thought he deceived the children?"Where... where are your parents? I can't collect the money without any adults," the owner said."Did we not pay enough money?" Charlie asked."I have counted them already, fifteen dollars
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
