Ch. 371..375: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 371-375

Chapter 371 “Why aren‘t you leaving?” She turned around and glared at him. “Can I go through your door?”

“You can‘t.”

She stared daggers at him. She was far too traumatized to go back the way she climbed over, so she did not want to do it all over again. “Who did you think I came all the way here for? What is it going to cost you to just let me use your door? Your life?”

“I just saved you.” Anne was rendered speechless.

“I haven‘t eaten.” Anthony closed his eyes lazily.

She scowled and wondered if he was asking her to cook for him.

Anne contemplated the options before her, knowing perfectly well that Anthony would not have said such a thing if he was not commanding her. If she did not wish to go through the fences again, she would have to cook for him to get the opportunity to leave.

“...Sure, what do you have here? I can cook.”

She went into the kitchen to prepare a meal for Anthony, but as there was nothing in the refrigerator, he had to order someone to deliver fresh ingredients.

‘If you can get someone to deliver fresh ingredients, why can‘t you just order from a hotel or something? Countless people out there would kill for a chance to serve the most powerful man in Luton!‘ she thought as she forced herself to accept reality and consider it a price she had to pay to exit Anthony‘s house.

She failed to understand why Anthony would own an apartment in this area.

Upon looking around, she noticed that it was the exact same apartment type as the one she owned, but the interior design was warm and welcoming, which was not at all Anthony‘s style and seemed more like a woman‘s apartment. Half an hour later, Anne plated three dishes and a soup onto the table. She watched as he ate and asked, “Is there something wrong with your stomach?” He did not respond, so she decided not to dig any deeper as there was nothing else to gain. “I am going to go now.”

“Did I say you can leave?” he said emotionlessly.

She frowned. “But I already cooked.”

“Wait until I‘m done.”

She gritted her teeth and wondered if he meant to comment on her food, but if Anthony did not agree to let her leave, she did not have the courage to disobey, so she remained in the dining room while looking around the apartment. There were stairs leading down to the living room, and as she walked up, she spotted a drawing of a woman on the wall at the end of the corridor.

She studied the woman’s face and found a lot of similarities with Anthony’s features. Instantly, she realized that she was looking at Julie.

She was beautiful and elegant. Though her son was an evil man, he was talented in many senses. It was a shame that she had lived such a short life before being killed by the Marwood Family.

“What are you looking at?”

She jumped at the voice and turned to find Anthony in the living room. She went down the stairs anxiously, feeling like she had discovered someone’s secret. “Nothing. I just saw a drawing. Is that your mother? She’s really pretty. Is this apartment your mother’s?”

He gave her a cold look before sitting down on the couch with his chin up and his eyes closed. His neckline was defined and sharp enough to cut, and his Adam’s Apple was on display in the most seductive way possible as he oozed a dangerous aura.

Anne took a few steps forward. “Can I go now?”

He opened his eyes and tilted his head as he stared at her.

She trembled and looked away. “… No? It’s late, so I need to go home.”

“Another man waiting for you?”

“What? What man?” She scowled in annoyance.

He looked away and closed his eyes again. “Stay the night here.”

Anne doubted her own ears for a moment. “What? Here? Why? Are you going to force yourself on me again?”

“Are you going to fight back?” he asked without bothering to open his eyes.

Anne did not want to stay the night with Anthony simply because he demanded it.

“Try walking out that door and see what happens,” he warned.

Enraged, she asked, “What exactly are you trying to do? Is it really that funny to toy with me?”

Anthony stood from the couch and Anne instantly cowered backward as she

red at him

warily, fearing that he would attack at any moment.

Without another glance at her, Anthony walked up the stairs and went toward the corridor.

Chapter 372 Anne came to and hurried over to stop him from leaving. “Why do you insist on making me stay? I want to go home.” “I‘m not in the mood, so don‘t test me.” Anthony narrowed his eyes dangerously. “You‘re not in the mood, but I have to be?” she questioned in confusion. She could not understand why Anthony could not send her away to feel better if he resented her so much.

He glared at her as he grabbed her by the shoulder and shoved her into the room.

“You...!” Forced to enter the room, Anne stumbled inside.

Anthony then proceeded to ignore her and went into the bathroom.

Anne stood still, not knowing what to do. She desperately wanted to leave but did not have the courage to disobey him. In the end, she figured that the least she could do was to leave the room.

Feeling uncomfortable at the sound of the water running inside the bathroom, she turned to leave and went outside, pacing back and forth in the living room as though that would help her find a way to leave.

She eventually took a seat on the couch. It was not that there was something that she absolutely had to do, but she simply could not stand being in the same room as Anthony.

At the moment, Anthony was engaged to Bianca, so she did not want to come between them and was concerned about what people might think of her. However, she also knew that that was precisely the reason why Anthony took pleasure in it, and that was also why she had to avoid him at all costs.

She remained in the living room and did not see Anthony coming out of his room even though it had been over half an hour.

He could not have been in the shower for that long, so she got up and headed back into the room.

She poked her head in to check once the door was open and heard nothing at all ot even the sound of running water. When she went in and saw Anthony sleeping on the bed, she was instantly rendered speechless.

‘He sure seems certain that I won‘t dare to leave! Is he asleep? I could still try to argue myself out of this situation if he is still awake, but if he‘s already asleep, I can‘t possibly wake him up, ‘she thought.

She glanced at Anthony‘s face and noticed the frown that remained between his brows despite him being asleep

After a while, she left the room and called Kathryn and heard someone knocking on the door twenty minutes later. 1

She went to open the door and found Kathryn outside, who did not seem at all shocked to see her there. “How is Mr. Marwood?”

“Come inside. He doesn‘t seem too well,” Anne said.

“No, he‘s alright. He just has a really weak stomach. Here‘s his medicine.” Kathryn handed her a box of medicine.

“You are already here, so why not go inside to have a look?”

Kathryn chuckled and said, “If they don‘t allow any random woman into the Royal Mansion, I would say Mr. Marwood is even stricter with this place. No one can come in. Even me, myself, and Oliver are only allowed to stand outside the door.‘‘

Anne gaped at her in confusion, wondering if she was not even a woman to Anthony.

“Just call me again if he doesn‘t get better after taking the pills.” With that, Kathryn left. Anne closed the door thoughtfully and decided not to believe whatever Kathryn said. Someone once told her that women were not allowed into the Royal Mansion, but Anne, Michelle, and Bianca had all gone inside before, so she had every reason to believe that it was merely a lie that even Oliver could not come inside.

She went into the room with the medicine and a glass of water before setting them down on the nightstand.

Chapter 373

She called out to Anthony. “Hey, take your medicine. Kathryn brought them here for you.”

Anthony did not respond as though he was deeply asleep.

Anne stared at his perfect features and was amazed by how cold and dangerous he seemed even when he was asleep.

She lowered her voice and said, “Snow White, here’s your apple.”

Anthony’s eyes opened abruptly.

She fell backward and landed on the ground but immediately crawled back up before pointing at the nightstand. “Kathryn brought you your medicine.”

“Are you sure that’s not poisoned?” he asked calmly.

She rubbed at her nose and stood by the side. “I… I was just joking around.”

Without another word, Anthony sat up and swallowed the pill without having to drink any

water.

Anne had thought that Anthony would be offended by her joke but was relieved that he was not. Still, she was terrified and confused as to why he would not wake up when she was asking properly.

“Um. Can I leave now?” she asked gingerly.

He leaned back against the bedhead and stared at her. “Come here.”

She assessed the distance between where she stood and the bed and took a step forward anxiously. “What do y…Ah!”

Before she could finish her sentence, he dragged her over, and she landed on his firm, muscular chest.

He lifted her chin and Anne froze like a fish on a hock

He narrowed his eyes as he studied the stunned expression on her face. “I said How much do I have to repeat myself?”

She was about to respond when he flung her to the side. “Ah!”

‘Why do I have to sleep here with him?‘ she thought as she tried to fight back, but immediately stopped when she saw Anthony closing his eyes in peace.

She moved her lips to speak but remained quiet in the end, knowing what horrible consequences would await her if those eyes opened once again.

y the night.

She moved back backward and lay down once she was at the edge of the bed. She originally had her back facing Anthony but felt even more anxious at what she could not see, so she turned around. Despite the distance between them, she remained alert.

Anne could not understand why Anthony could not ask Bianca here if he needed someone to sleep with him. Bianca could play piano, so that ought to make it easier for him to sleep.

Eventually, Anne came to the conclusion that nothing relaxed Anthony’s mind better than

knowing that she was upset.

Unfortunately, she had no means to fight back because of the power imbalance between them.

She had thought that she would not fall asleep, but in the midst of her troubled thoughts, she drifted off to sleep in the end. + When Anthony heard her breathing rhythmically, he opened his eyes and turned to study the woman beside him.

He could not figure out why he had asked Anne to stay the night. He knew distinctly that he hated Sarah and Anne, and that he felt took pleasure in torturing Anne.

Anthony and Oliver were the only ones who knew about this apartment, and even when Oliver was here, he had to wait outside the door. Who was Anne to him for him to make an exception?

Sharp–minded as he was, he could not understand and dismissed it as a habit that developed during the process of him torturing Anne throughout the years. After staring at Anne‘s face for about ten minutes, the pain in his stomach subsided, and he went to sleep.

In the morning, Anne woke up dazedly and blankly sensed that someone was holding her. ‘Holding me?!‘ she thought as she opened her eyes abruptly to see the muscular chest before her eyes.

The memories of the night before slowly came back to her, and without even looking up, she already knew who was holding her.. ‘Didn‘t I fall asleep by the edge of the bed?‘ she thought.

Chapter 374 She had a habit of holding onto the triplets when she slept, so she must have mistaken Anthony for her children in her sleep. Realizing that she had wrapped one leg around Anthony‘s, so she immediately moved it away. Anne shot a glance at Anthony, who was still sleeping and slowly backed away from Anthony‘s embrace. She was sweating profusely by the time she got out of bed, and as soon as her feet touched the ground, she darted off.

Anthony opened his eyes when he heard the door closing.

Anne did not stop until she arrived at her own apartment, like she was running from something. After grabbing her phone, she left the apartment and did not look at the phone until she was in the car

She scowled when she noticed that there were three missed calls from Bianca. Why would Bianca be looking for her? She then realized that since Anthony had been gone the whole night, Bianca was surely searching everywhere for him.

‘Where was Anthony‘s phone? I think it was on the table on the balcony,‘ she thought. Anthony simply left his phone there when he got up to leave and did not take it with him into the apartment.

Anne sighed a breath of relief. Luckily, Bianca did not go to Julie‘s apartment, or she would have found Anne and Anthony in bed together.

She checked the time, and though the triplets had not gone to school at this time, it was too late for her to have breakfast with them.

She leaned against the car window helplessly, rendered speechless by how unlucky she was to end up as Anthony‘s neighbor the first time she bought a place.

She wondered if she could still live in that apartment but knew that she could ut possibly cancel the deal. Anne had always known her place, and even if it concerned her own father, she preferred to be the obedient child. Besides, since she was not moving in right away, she could always find a way to avoid Anthony.

The taxi stopped outside the residential area she currently stayed in. She got out and hurried toward her block.

She halted when she was right before the building as she spotted a strange car parked before it.

Bianca stepped out of the car and had apparently been waiting for a while.

Anne felt guilty and was driven mad that she felt like a homewrecker who was destroying someone else‘s relationship.

Bianca walked up to her and questioned arrogantly, “Where have you been?”

“On a walk.”

“For the whole night?”

Anne was shocked to learn that Bianca had been here for the whole night.

“You didn’t see that coming, did you? I’ve been waiting for you here all night!” The makeup on Bianca’s face was beginning to melt, and it began to become apparent to Anne that Bianca had been awake all night. “Were you with Anthony last night?”

“No.” Not wanting to talk to her any longer, Anne turned to leave as she could not possibly tell Bianca the truth.

“You are not leaving until you tell me everything!” Bianca grabbed onto her.

“What are you doing?” Anne shoved her away. “You are the pianist goddess, a public figure. Don’t embarrass yourself.”

“Why not? Let this leak to the internet, so everyone knows what a homewrecker looks like! I’ve never seen anyone as shameless as you are!” Bianca’s tone began to spin out of control as she was overwhelmed by rage.

Anthony had not answered his phone, and he was nowhere to be found; not even Oliver knew where he was, and by coincidence, Anne was not answering her phone either. Bianca was left waiting for the entire night, and no one could understand how it felt.

Chapter 375 Anne‘s expression darkened. “You sure seem proud of yourself for falsely accusing someone by manipulating the internet?” “Falsely accusing you? Go on, then. Where were you all night?” Bianca questioned sharply.

Anne was not sure if Bianca knew about Julie‘s apartment. Even if she did not, Anne was not about to inform her about the new apartment Nigel had purchased for her recently.

It would be equally troublesome for Bianca to find out about it.

Just as she contemplated what she should say, Bianca‘s phone rang.

Bianca checked on her phone and walked over to the side to answer it.

Anne could faintly overhear what she was saying.

“Anthony, where have you been? I was worried sick, thinking that something had happened to you because you won‘t answer your phone. You got drunk? You should have called me over to the clubhouse to take care of you then. You didn‘t have to suffer through that alone...” Bianca said.

Anne was impressed by how good Bianca was at acting when she listened to Bianca‘s worried tone.

Instead of going back to her apartment, Anne decided to wait by the stairs while Bianca was on the phone.

She preferred to send Bianca on her way instead of waiting for Bianca to come upstairs to bother her.

After the call, Bianca walked up to Anne fiercely. “Well? Where were you?”

“What? Didn‘t Anthony tell you where he has been?”

“He said he got drunk and stayed in a clubhouse.”

“That‘s it, then. Why do you care where I was?” Anne felt defeated by how persistent Bianca was. At the same time, she was impressed by what a great liar Anthony was.

“Do you really think I can look into whichever clubhouse he claimed to be in? He would be mad if he found out, and I wouldn‘t be able to find anything anyway since it‘s all just going to be confidential.” Bianca was no fool and knew that Anthony would surely find out if she tried to track him down.

“That‘s between the two of you. I have nothing to do with it. As for where I was, I can‘t tell you anything.”

“You two were together, weren‘t you? Did you sleep together?” Bianca grabbed Anne‘s arm.” Anne Vallois, don‘t think that you are actually a member of the Faye Family. A b*tch like you is unworthy of it.”

“Are you crazy or something?”

“Let me see if there‘s any mark on you, or I won‘t believe anything you say!” Bianca threw her bag onto the ground and started tearing at Anne‘s collar with no regard for her appearance or

image.

Anne could not believe that Bianca would resort to violence and fought back.

She heard footsteps coming from the stairs and realized that the triplets were coming down, so she tried to shove Bianca outside with all her might. However, Bianca was completely crazed and went on to tear at Anne‘s clothes until they were on the brink of coming off.

The nanny heard the noises downstairs as soon as she headed outside with the triplets.

Just as she was wondering who it was, she froze when she saw Anne fighting another woman.

The triplets roared, “Stop fighting!”

Bianca stilled and Anne shoved her away again, both looking extremely discomfited.

Bianca had seen the children before and knew that they were triplets. She had seen videos of them before, but the videos were deleted from the internet almost as soon as they were uploaded.

Families who live in such an area should not have the power to erase anything from the internet, and even if they did, they would be driven into poverty trying to pay the media off. Bianca discriminated against anyone Anne knew all the same and screamed, “This is none of your business. Scram!”
