Chapter 137
Where were the children?
She told the children that the key was under the flowerpot, and if Mama were not home, they could open the door by themselves.
Sarah came out with the dishes. “Why are you standing there in a daze? Go wash your hands. Dinner is ready.”
Anne was in no mood to eat. If the children had not returned, what should she do when they came back later? They would have to meet with Sarah head–on.
“Aunt, how did you get in?” Anne asked.
“Of course, I came in with the key under the flowerpot!” Sarah said.
Sarah thought about making a phone call to the school. At this time, she wanted to prevent the children from meeting her aunt…
However, before she could, the screen changed.
It was Lucas’s call.
She went to the balcony to answer. “Hello?”
“Are you at home?”
“Yes, what’s the matter?” Anne asked.
“The children are at my house,” Lucas said.
“Why are they at your house?” Anne lowered her voice.
“Is there someone in your family?”
“Yes, my aunt is here.”
“No wonder the triplets called me, saying there were other people at home. I went to pick them up.”
“Ah…” Anne nodded. “When my aunt is gone, I’ll go pick them up! Would that be okay?”
“Don’t worry. They can sleep here and go to school with me tomorrow morning. It’s more convenient that way.”
“It’s very troublesome to take care of children…” Anne was embarrassed.
“No, they are very happy and well–behaved. Otherwise, you couldn’t have single–handedly brought them up if they were naughty kids, could you?”
Indeed.
After Anne gave birth to these three children, she wondered if God was taking pity on her. The kids could wear simple clothes by themselves when they could sit straight, although they took some time to learn it.
Their growth probably accelerated because she did not have the time to be a helicopter parent.
“Thank you very much, Principal.”

Their growth probably accelerated because she did not have the time to be a helicopter parent. “Thank you very much, Principal.”
After Anne hung up the phone, her body relaxed. She had been out of ideas. Sarah put the tableware and chopsticks on the table and asked, “Did Lucas call? I heard you say ‘Principal‘.”
Anne sat down at the table and was about to pick up the utensil when Sarah tapped her hand.” Wash your hands.”
“Oh.” Anne got up to wash her hands.
She came back and ate together with Sarah.
“I‘d better come here often to cook for you! If you‘re at home alone, your food probably isn’t very nutritious. You won‘t accept my money, and you don‘t want to eat at my place. What am I going to do with you?” Sarah said. “No, I‘ll just cook myself something simple. I am an adult, and I can make money by myself,” Anne said.
Sarah thought for a moment before asking, “Did you eat with Lucas‘s mother yesterday?”
“I happened to meet them, and they were so enthusiastic, so we ate together.”
“Joanne said that she liked you the first time she saw you. You look clean and nice, and you‘re so beautiful as well! You are destined to marry into a wealthy family.” Sarah was happy for her.
“I never thought about that.”
“Then start thinking about it from now on. When you marry into the Newman family, you will be rich, and everyone will envy you. Besides, education is of the utmost importance if you give birth to a child! Having a principal as a husband would boost your child‘s chances of succeeding in the future.”
Anne sighed inwardly. She had no need to envision a future with kids. She already had three of them.
