Ch. 191..195: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 191-195
Chapter 191 Chloe grinned from ear to ear. “Mama, come watch us win Daddy!” Charlie shouted, “Mama, come!” Chris’ face was flushed from the excitement. The two did not dare to take their eyes off the screen, so Anne could tell how much they were struggling, on the other hand, Luxcas sat on the couch with his legs crossed and glanced at Anne. “We will be done soon.” Anne chuckled, “Carry on. I will watch.” She then took a seat on the couch and watched the intensive boxing contest on the television, while Chloe fed the fruits to her brothers and Lucas.
She fed them one by one, before offering another piece to her mother again. In the end, Chris and Charlie won, and Lucas managed to make it look as though he did not intentionally lose. Anne had made some coffee for him and he got up. “Let’s go to the balcony. You kids carry on.” There were chairs and a table on the balcony, so they sat down and admired the night view of the city. “I’ve never played video games with them before,” she said with a smile, “do you guys play often?” “I keep them company whenever I have the time.” Lucas took a sip of his coffee and said, ” Boys all like the same thing, so it’s important for a family to have both motherly and fatherly figures.” “I know…” She muttered. “I’m not asking you to go to Anthony.” Worried that she would misunderstand, he explained, “anyone who cares for the kids and whom you like would do. After all, I’ve seen a lot of fathers failing at parenting even at school.” “Yeah.” She understood. She thought of something, and hesitated to ask. “Something you want to say?”. “Is everything with the academy settled now?” She asked. “It ended just as abruptly as it started. I would be a fool if I didn’t notice anything wrong.” Lucas looked up from the coffee. “You went to Anthony?” Anne’s hands on her laps twitched and Lucas caught on to the motion. He set his mug down and said, “He sure plays dirty.” “I am the reason all this happened in the first place. I’m sorry.” “What did you do?” She lowered her head. “Nothing much. Just refused to obey…”
Everything happened because she refused to let Anthony touch her and if she was to tell Lucas that, he would naturally know that she obeyed in the end so that Anthony would stop attacking Lucas. Anne would rather remain silent, and luckily, Lucas did not insist on knowing, Behind the door, Charlie took Chris and Chloe’s hands and left. When Anne went back into the living room, she saw the triplets discussing something in all seriousness, before breaking apart like nothing had happened, “What were you talking about?” “Nothing!” They chirped in unison. Anne chuckled and let them be. Charlie crawled up Anne’s body and asked, “Mama, where does that guy who looks like me work?” Anne’s eyes darted away for a moment. “Why do you ask?”

Chapter 192 Chris stood next to them and said, Tm curious." "Me, too," Chloe added. "In the Archduke Group," Anne said, thinking that there
was no need inhiding where their father worked, since they did not know that Anthony was their father, what she did not know was the the
triplets had their own plan, The next day, the children arrived back at the apartment on the school bus.
When they noticed that the nanny was not by the entrance, they shot one another a look andinstantly darted to the other direction as fast as
they could.
They blended in with the crowd and peered at their surroundings curiously, all the while being shielded by the adults around them and the
masks on their faces.
A taxi stopped by the road not far from them.
Before the customer who got out had the chance to shut the door, the triplets dartedinto the car.
The customer was shocked, especially because the triplets were not accompanied by any adults, but shut the door anyway.
The driver turned around in confusion.
"Where are your parents?" "Our dad works in the Archduke Group.
We can pay you if you send US there." The driver naturally knew where Archduke Group was as he would drive by the building fromtime to time.
He chuckled with amusement at the three adorable children before him.
"Let's go, then!" When they arrived at the destination, Charlie took out the plastic coins from his pocket, Chrisadded his toy car and Chloe took out two pieces of candies, before hesitantly placing it onto Charlie's palm.
Charlie presented all the items to the driver.
"Here.
Are these enough?" "..." The driver was instantly rendered speechless as it was not even money.
He studied the looks of anticipation in their eyes and reached out his hand.
Charlie handed everything he held to the driver.
The driver glanced through everything while the triplets watched with concern that what they had might notbe enough.
The driver took the toy car and handed it to Chris, before handing Chloe her candies and taking the plastic coins.
"This much will do."
The three beamed at him.
As the driver watched the children run towards the entrance of the Archduke Group, he rubbedat the plastic coins in his hand and shook his head with a smile.
"Guess I just did them a service for free." The guards at the entrance did not notice the triplets, so they got into the hall with ease.
When they realized how enormous the place was, their jaws dropped.
The receptionists noticed them and one of them came over.
Enticed by how adorable they looked, she asked, "Where are you guys from? You look so adorable! Are you lost?" Anotherreceptionist came
over as well.
"Are these your kids?" "I wish I could give birth to kids this adorable!" "How old are you guys?” Chloe reached out two fingers.
"Two!" The receptionist could not help buit grab Chloe's hand and exclaimed, "Wow, it's so soft and tiny!" “I wantto touch it as welL.if her
hand is already this soft, her cheeks must be even softer.
Can I touch your little cheeks?" The three shook their heads in unison.
The receptionists all felt like they could faint from how adorable they were.
"Oh god! They even know how to say no! So cute!"
Another receptionist stayed behind the reception and stared at the triplets from afar; she would have runover as well if she was not
concerned that it would be too overwhelming for them.
As she was breaking her neck trying to get a closer look, she heard a 'ding' from the director's elevator, followed by the sound of footsteps.
The receptionist paled when she spotted the dark figure approaching.
Chapter 193 Seeing how the other two receptionists were still fawning over the triplets, she lowered her voice and tried to war them.
"Hey..." The others didn't hear her and did not notice that something was wrong until Anthony was close enough.
They turned around and stood up abruptly, with their bowed, With the receptionist out of the way, Anthonyspotted the triplets.
Though the triplets had no intention in acknowledging Anthony as their father, they were still slightly excited and all tensed at the sight of
Anthony like threeanxious little penguins.
Anthony stilled for a moment, before walking over to them The triplets looked up at their father and greeted him with unison.
"Hello!"
"What are you doing here?” He asked expressionlessly.
"We are lost!" Charlie said.
"Can you send US home?" Chris requested.
"Mama can't find US." Chloe sobbed as she looked at Anthony.
Anthony scowled, failing to see how that was any of his concern Three minutes later, the triplets found themselvesinside Anthony's Rolls Loyce, their legs hanging in the air as they sat at the back seats.
All three of them were curious and excited to be inside their father's car.
Anthony leaned back against the black leather seat and observed the curious triplets calmly, wondering why he was helping to send them home, as he had always thought that childrenwere nothing but trouble.
"How did you end up in the Archduke Group?" "We got lost!" Charlie said.
"Do you really think I would buy that?" "We are telling the truth!" Chris argued.
"You were bullying a nice lady the last time we saw you.
Can you...stop?" The triplets still remembered the way Anthony 'bullied' their mother at their apartment.
"That's between US adults," Anthony said calmly.
"If you keep bullying nice ladies, you will never get a wife!" Charlie retorted.
Anthony narrowed his eyes with amusement at the innocent words.
"Why are you wearing face masks?" "We are too cute.
The others will touch our cheeks," Chloe said.
"We don't like others touching us!" Chris added Anthony's lips curled into a smile as he turned to stare outside the window.
While the children went to look for their father, Lucas had received a call from the nanny informing him that the children were gone.
He frantically looked around and checked the surveillance footage, only to find out that the children ran off to the West direction on their own.
In the end, he tracked them down to the taxi and found the taxi driver, who informed him that the children headedto the Archduke Group.
When Anne found out about it, she came close to passing out.
"Why would they go to the Archduke Group? Did you tell them about it?" Lucas asked.
"I...I never told them who their father was.
I just mentioned that someone who looked like them worked there, because they had seen Anthony before.
I never imagined that they would be so bold to go there..."
She panted nervously and realized she had made a careless mistake.
After all, going to the Archduke Group was far easier than traveling abroad.
"Don't panic.
They might not be able to get inside, and they won't be recognized as long as theykeep their masks on," Lucas consoled her.
Anne was still in the office and Lucas could only imagine how terrified she was when she found out that the triplets had gone to the Archduke
Group, knowingthat Anthony could discover the children at any moment.
What Lucas did not understand was why they would go to the Archduke Group.
Chapter 194 The Rolls Loyce stopped outside the gate of a residential complex.
"We've arrived!"
"This is the place!" "Thank you, Uncle!" Anthony turned to lookat the building before him, noticing that it was the sort of complex that only
wealthy people would manage to get in.
"I remember that you don't stay here." The first time he had run into the triplets was at the area where Anne lived, which was ata completely
different price range compared to the building before him.
"That is our nanny's place!" Charlie said.
"We are going to visit our nanny!" Chloe added.
"Can we get out now?" Chris asked.
The car door opened on its own and just like how they got inside, the bodyguard needed to help them out.
Anthony simply watched while leaning back leisurely.
He was surprised that he managed to tolerate the children for so long despite his lack of patience.
It was something that he did not consider possible.
Just before the door closed, Chloe turned around and muttered, "Can we...travel in your car again?"
Charlie and Chris wordlessly lookedat Anthony, doe-eyed.
"I'm not your dad.
I don't have the obligation to do that," Anthony refused cruelly.
Furious, Charlie grabbed Chloe's hand and said, "It's not like we want to, anyway! Let's go!" When the security guard of the building saw the triplets running toward thegate, he immediately asked, "Where on earth have you three been? We are worried sick!" "Don't worry.
We won't get lost!" Charlie reassured.
The guard glanced at the Rolls Loyce curiously and dragged the triplets through the gate, before calling Lucas to inform him that the children had arrived home.
Just then, Lucas's car was just fifty meter away from the Rolls Loyce by the road as Lucas answered thecall.
He knew that the triplets were safe as soon as he saw them coming out of the car.
The nanny rushed to the building entrance to pick the children up.
The guard went back to his post and heard noises as soon as he sat down.
He stared at the man in suit before and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Whose kids were those? What are their parents' names?”
Confused, the guardanswered, "I think they belonged with a mid-aged couple.
I heard that they had the triplets in a lab or something." The bodyguard returned to the car and bowed to report to Anthony.
Anthony simply rolled up the window afterward without a word.
Lucas's car did not come into the light until the Rolls Loyce was gone.
Lucas rolled down the window when he drove past the security guard.
"I did as you commanded, Mr.
Newman," the guard said.
Lucas handed him two packs of cigarettes, the guard immediately refused.
"I can't possibly accept that..."
"Take them.
I got them from someone else and I don't smoke anyway."
"Thank you!" The guard acceptedit joyfully.
"My kids tend to run off on their own, so please keep an eye on them for me." Lucas was both polite and gentle by nature, so though he
wasnot intimidating in any way, it was hard to refuse him.
"Of course.
Don't worry, I will keep an eye out for them!" The guard agreed.
Anne felt like she could finally breathe when she knew that the triplets were safe, but still could not recover from the fright.
It was the end of the month again and everyone had to work overtime for an hour.
When it was close to seven, Anne could not stand it any longer and made an excuse toleave, before heading directly to Lucas' apartment.
She saw the triplets playing as soon as she went into the apartment, they ran toward her when theyspotted her.
Chapter 195 Anne could not bring herself to get angry and stared at them with resignation. She tore thetriplets off her legs and said, "Get in
line and stand straight." Charlie, Chris and Chloe stood shoulder to shoulder in a line.
"Well? Why did you run off?" Just because she was not going to get angry, it did not mean that she would let it slip.
"Didn't Mama tell you not to run off on your own? Why didn't you listen?
The triplets shot hertheir puppy-eyes looks.
"Don't play cute!" Anne said sternly.
They continued to look at her dazedly.
"End of conversation." Lucas came over and patted them on the head.
"It's alright.
Go drink your' milk and go to bed after that." ‘‘Wait, they haven't told me why they went tothe Archduke Group..." Anne followed closely
behind, but Lucas shielded the children and sent them off to drink their milk, before having the nanny take them to bed.
Anne had no chance to speak at all, until Lucas came back to talk to her.
The two went to the balcony, each holding their own mug.
"Did the kids realize something?" Lucas asked.
"It's probably because they look too similar," she said.
The reason she asked the children to keep their masks on was precisely because their resemblance toAnthony was not only obvious enough for such young children to notice.
"The nanny got there late and gave them the chance to run off.
It won't happen again." Anne felt awkward because Lucas wasn't the father of her children and hehad no obligation toward them.
"I should bring the kids back.
They are causing you too much trouble..." She said apologetically, "But...my mom is getting a divorce and she is now living with me."
Lucas had neverasked her about her mother up until this point.
"About your mom...do you still need my help? After what happened..." Anne muttered.
"She doesn't interfere with my choices." Despite Lucas's reassuring words, Anne still felt guilty that she had caused the Pinnacle Academy troubles, knowingit might very well happen again.
"You should focus on what your kids want.
Any choice that suits them most is the best option you have," he said, "by the way, someone went to the security guard today totry and find out about the kids." "...Who?" She asked anxiously.
"Anthony's security guard."
"What...?"
"Don't worry.
I told the guard what to say ahead of time.
We might be able to fool him for a few times, but he won't be easily fooled the third time around considering how sharp he is."Anne’s blood ran cold.
She knew that the triplets had appeared before Anthony for far too many times and Anthony would soonsuspect their identities.
"Which is why the triplets are safest with me.
The area you live in is too risky." Anne had no other options than to agree, neither of them hadexpected the children to find their ways to the
Archduke Group.
"It's my fault.
This wouldn't have happened if I didn't tell them about the Archduke Group."
"It's not too bad since we managed to resolve it.
Just be more careful in the future.
By the way, how do you get here?" «
I take a taxi to the underground parking lot and take the elevator here all the time." Anne knew that she could not be seen, because Lucas
lived here.
If she was spotted, people would suspect that they were together at the very least.
Since she could not guess what Anthony was thinking, she did not dare to stir him up.
"Stay the night here!" Lucas said.
