Chapter 118
Chapter 118 Anne realized something was not right in the car on her way back. She had no idea where Anthony was taking her, but this was definitely not the way back to her house.
It was apparent what he had in mind...
She had wasted a lot of time today, so how could she continue to stay out all night?
“Can I take a break tonight?” She asked.
“Oh, do you want the timeframe to be extended?”
“No! I‘m just exhausted. Wouldn‘t it spoil your fun if I‘m exhausted? Plus, it‘s my mom‘s funeral today...” Anne was down, but does he even care? She was not spared on the day of her mom‘s passing either.. She needed to be obedient to be free from him.
However, not tonight.
She could not leave her kids alone at home the whole night.
“Okay,” said Anthony gravelly.
Anne was startled upon hearing his response and raised her head in disbelief. He actually gave in?
“You still have half an hour left,” reminded Anthony.
She froze for three seconds and understood what he meant.
This was her only chance.
Regardless of her hardships, how would she know the outcome if she had never tried?
“You said it!” Anne exclaimed. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Anthony raised his eyebrows in a sexy and charming manner.
Anne leaned forward and planted a kiss on his cold thin lips.
“Do you think a kiss alone will make me lose control? Hmm?”
Followed by a bite on his throat.
It was a vital point that no one had ever dared to touch, much less had the opportunity to.
This woman was simply pushing his buttons.
However, the bite later turned into a kiss that was so gentle as though a feather had brushed his skin.
Anthony swallowed hard, and his breathing had suddenly become heavy. Anne noticed his reaction, and her eyes could not help but glitter with a gleam of hope.
The black Rolls Loyce parked at the neighborhood‘s entrance had not moved at all.
It was unclear whether someone was going to get off or if they were going to drive off. Anne pushed the door open and jumped out of the car five seconds later. Fortunately, she bit her lower lip when her feet hit the ground. Otherwise, she would have screamed!
She glanced at the car to find the man lazing in his seat as if nothing had happened except his wrinkled clothes.
“I‘m going to call it a night,” said Anne in a trembling voice after making eye contact with Anthony‘s eyes which were as dark as the night sky, while she shut the door.
Anthony held the door open by stretching out his long legs while lighting a cigarette. His eyes darkened.
Anne looked uneasy. She disregarded the car door and walked away. He took a deep breath and exhaled gradually while pursing a cigarette between his thin lips.
His dark eyes were fixed on Anne‘s slender figure. She actually managed to get away with it.
Fine. It was settled that she would pay him in this manner.
However, he might grow tired of her before the six months.
Anne took out her phone once she entered the elevator to track Anthony‘s whereabouts.
The little red dot had not left yet. . He does not plan to come up, does he? She had told him that she wanted to rest for the night, so she could not have him come to her house..
Anne slowly walked toward her house and was relieved when she saw the quick movement of the red dot. She rushed into her house after opening and closing the door. Where she was welcomed with the sight of the triplets sitting on the living room floor with piles of bread packaging.
“Mama is back!”
“Mama!”
“Mama!”
The triplets ran up to her – “We thought Mama was taken away by the bad guys!”
“We were about to go save Mama!”
“I even thought of bringing my knife!” Charlie held up his plastic knife.
‘Thank goodness I returned because it would be terrible if they ran out!‘ Anne thought. “Mama is fine. Mama will go get you food!” Anne hurriedly went to the kitchen. “In the meantime, drink some milk formula first!”
Three bottles of milk formula were brewed, and she gave each a bottle. The triplets sucked on the teats with their mouths wiggling and their heads tilted. How cute of them.
The scene also broke Anne‘s heart, so she got up to make them complementary food but felt something pulling her pants as she stood up. She saw Chris grabbing her pants with his chubby little hand. “Mama, you don‘t have to make us food cuz we‘re full!”
“Milk is good enough,” said Charlie.
“Burp!” Chloe burped.
Anne wanted to laugh and was heartbroken at the same time as they were full because of the bread they ate. How pitiful of them...
She squatted down, and when she was about to hug them, Charlie‘s eye widened and asked, poking with his little finger, “Mama, there‘s a red spot here!” “...” Anne laughed awkwardly and tried to cover it up by saying, “It‘s a...mosquito bite.”
“The mouth of this mosquito is quite big!” Chloe looked enlightened.
She changed the subject. “Hurry up and finish your milk before it gets cold.”
“Mama, who is that person just now?” Chris asked after taking a big sip of his milk.
Anne was startled by what he asked, “Uhm...”
“Mama, is he our Papa?” Chloe asked.
The air froze.
Three round eyes stared at her inquisitively and earnestly. As their mother, she felt so guilty that her heartbeat was accelerating from being stared at. Why would they ask that? She believed the triplets had a right to know about it as well. However, if they knew about it and went to look for their father, could they still leave Luton? When she gave birth to them, she considered herself a single mother, and the triplets had nothing to do with anyone
She had no problem raising them herself!
The presence of a ‘father‘ figure was never part of the plan!
This was especially so when that person was Anthony Marwood, who she did not want anything to do with... “No. Of course not! Your Papa is...” Anne noticed the photo frame beside her and grabbed it right away. “Your Papa is him! Do you see? This is your Papa!”
The three of them looked at the photo in a daze.
“However, that man looks like me!” Charlie responded.
“Didn‘t Mama tell you that just because you look alike doesn‘t mean you‘re related?” Anne explained. “He even looked for you, Mama!” said Chris. “It‘s because he‘s my...boss, and he came to see me for work,” Anne explained.
“Does he want to eat Mama?” Chloe asked.
“...!” Anne flustered as she realized why Chloe had asked this question.
She failed as a mother by enabling them to hear such things.
Anne squinted her eyes and smiled, refusing to discuss the matter further. “Nothing of that sort! However, you must not show my boss your face again as you did tonight. You must hide. Okay? Now finish your milk! Mama will bathe you after you‘ve finished drinking, and then we‘ll go to bed!”
