Ch. 436..440: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 436-440

Chapter 436 Bianca chatted amicably. “When Bianca was first born, there were so many children in the hospital, but she was the only one who was clean and beautiful! Do you still remember your expression when Bianca was just born?” Dorothy praised Bianca. “What was it?” Nigel had to ask. “You were tearing up and holding her as cautiously as if holding a bomb.” Dorothy laughed.

Nigel smiled, did not speak, and looked at Anne subconsciously.

Anne cut the beef from the plate, stuffed it in her mouth, and chewed it slowly.

“Anne, what else do you want to eat?” Nigel asked.

Anne raised her head and asked, “Huh?”

Seeing that the corners of her mouth were still smeared with black pepper sauce, Nigel laughed, took a wet towel, and wiped the corners of her mouth. Anne blushed, and she hurriedly took the wet towel and wiped it herself.

Dorothy and Bianca‘s expressions changed immediately when they saw that, but they let it go because of Anthony‘s presence.

“No, I‘m almost full,” Anne said.

Nigel‘s cell phone rang. It was a text message. He took it out and looked at it. It was a greeting from Sarah. After reading it, he stuffed it into his pocket as if nothing was wrong. Dorothy‘s mind was sharper, and she asked, “What‘s the matter? Is it work?”

“It doesn‘t matter,” Nigel said.

Anne narrowed her eyes.

Dorothy was very suspicious.

She even felt the need to ask about a text message!

After putting away the phone, Nigel said, “Bianca and Anne are both my daughters. Now that Bianca has a family, I‘m also worried about Anne. I‘m thinking of finding a good husband for Anne.”

After Nigel finished saying these words, Anne paid attention to everyone‘s reactions.

Anthony just took a sip of red wine calmly. Dorothy and Bianca exchanged glances. Anne only cared about Anthony‘s reaction. It seemed that he was unaffected. However, she still felt the pressure, which made her panic.

“Anthony, what do you think?” Nigel asked. Anne was nervous, her fingers under the table curled up. “This is a good thing. She has to get married before it‘s too late.”

His words made her feel uneasy.

Too late? What irony!

Anne lowered her face as if trying to avoid their sharp stares at her. Nigel said, “I like Principal Lucas of Pinnacle Academy very much. If we could bind via marriage, it would also be good for my business.” He said that he considered Lucas because of his business, not because of Anne. “Although I think it‘s a pretty good idea, Dad, isn‘t Pinnacle Academy a school? Your business is in medical care. What does it have to do with your business?” Bianca was puzzled.

“Their family‘s close relatives are leading medical experts.” Nigel did his homework.

Bianca immediately looked happy and took Anthony‘s arm. “That‘s really good! I have you, and Anne has her potential spouse. There is nothing more perfect than this. Dad, you have two great sons–in–law!”

Dorothy did not know whether Bianca was really happy or she was faking it, but she was not happy.

How could Anne marry into such a good family?

She should marry a street beggar! “But Anne‘s situation...do they know about it?” Dorothy did not say it clearly, but everyone present understood. Just in case they could not understand, she said more bluntly, “I thought Anne was infertile? Nigel, I know about your plans, but do the Newmans want Anne?” “You don‘t need to worry about this. I‘ll deal with it,” Nigel said.

Chapter 437 He sounded firm.

Dorothy said nothing.

No matter which man Anne married, no man was more powerful than Anthony.

She should stop worrying. It was just that Nigel‘s consideration for Anne made her feel very uncomfortable. Nigel could only have one daughter, and that was Bianca. Anne‘s mind was not on Dorothy and Bianca. Although her eyes were not looking at Anthony, all her attention was there.

As if her body and mind were bound to him.

The meal was finally finished.

No one had an opinion.

Everyone could see that Nigel really meant what he said.

Anne went back to Nigel‘s car.

Nigel said, “Are you still worried? Anthony doesn‘t object, and he has no right to object either.

Anne knew that Nigel did it for her and wanted everyone to see that he had come up with the idea.

“Dad, don‘t go to the Newmans...” Anne said.

“Why? You don‘t want me to?”

“I‘m not thinking about that right now.” Anne looked out the car window. “It also seems too deliberate.”

Nigel smiled. “I understand what you mean. Just know that when you contact Lucas, if you are interested in him, don‘t hide it, don‘t worry about anything.”

“...okay...” Anne said absently. She knew it was impossible. The three children were the biggest problem. No one else knew...

No one really understood her feelings... Anne returned to the community and went back to the fifth floor to take a bath. Before taking a shower, he checked Anthony’s position. He was in the Royal Mansion. She was constantly vigilant when it came to Anthony.

After taking a bath, she went up to the sixth floor. The door opened, and the kids stood in front of her, looking up at her. “We knew it was Mama! Mama is back!” Chloe jumped excitedly. “We‘ve waited for a long time!” “Mama, here!” Chris stood on the sofa and raised his hand, trying to attract Mama‘s attention, his feet on the soft cotton sofa.

When looking at Chris, Anne saw Lucas sitting in the living room, which stunned her.” Principal? Why are you here?” “Daddy came to see us?” “Mama doesn‘t let us go to daddy‘s place.” Chloe pouted. Anne was embarrassed. She did not want Lucas to know that!

Chloe was usually so smart, but apparently, she was not when she needed her to!

“Okay, after playing with you for so long, it‘s time for me to go back.” Lucas got up. “Don‘t you want to stay to have fun with us?” Chris asked innocently.

Chloe stepped forward and hugged Lucas‘s long legs. “Doesn‘t Daddy want to sleep here tonight?” “Don‘t go!” Charlie turned around. “Mama, stop Daddy quickly!”

Anne laughed dryly. “There is no extra room here...”

“Five people can sleep together in one bed!” Charlie stretched out five short fingers.

Anne was even more embarrassed. “Shall I accompany you down?” she said to Lucas.

Chapter 438 After they got out of the house, the two of them went up the stairs. Anne wondered why Lucas was there. Did he just come to see the kids?

She had just talked about him at the dinner with the Fayes today, and now she was seeing him in person. She felt a little uncomfortable that Lucas did not know about their plans.

“Have you gone out for dinner?” Lucas asked.

“Yes, with my dad,” Anne said.

“I met Mr. Faye two days ago when he was having dinner with my uncle,” Lucas said.

Anne was stunned that they had met already.

Did they meet just for business matters?

“My dad didn‘t say anything to you, did he?” Anne asked. “Are you worried?” Lucas turned his face with a playful look in his eyes. Anne‘s eyes flashed innocently. “I have nothing to worry about...” “Your father just asked me whether you and I knew each other.” “Then what did you say?”

“What did you want me to say?” Lucas looked at her and stopped when she went down the steps. Anne stopped and turned her eyes to the side. “You know we can‘t be together. There‘s just too much to think about...”

“Really? But your father also said that he would bring you to have a meal with me next time.” Lucas said, and then asked, “Will you refuse?”

Anne did not answer.

Lucas did not ask any more questions either and continued to walk.

Anne followed silently, watching Lucas get into the car and leave in silence.

She kept thinking of the offer to dine with Lucas. Did Nigel propose having the two of them together at dinner? He did not even mention it when they met yesterday.

He probably did not mean it.

Nigel was a bit too obvious with his plans if he meant for them to dine together.

She knew, and so did Lucas...

“Ms. Vallois, follow me to the president‘s office in ten minutes.” Xander walked into the department and said to her as he went to his office.

Anne‘s heart skipped a beat, and her back straightened. ‘The president‘s office... wasn‘t that Anthony‘s office in the Archduke Group?‘

No way someone else had the guts to borrow it...

On the way to the president‘s office, Anne asked, “Is Mr. Marwood here?”

“Yes.”

Anne paused and asked, “Can I resign from being your assistant?” “What‘s wrong with me? I‘ll change.”

Anne paled. “That‘s not what I meant…”

“Then I can‘t understand you. The assistant‘s salary is almost doubled compared to your last job. Are you silly?” Xander said as if he didn‘t notice her awkwardness. Anne wanted to say she was fine with the money. She just did not want to be in the vicinity of Anthony!

Her excuse was that the work was too difficult to do.

It was not a very compelling reason, though. She was not always on time to work and even took paid vacations.

Xander knocked on the door of the president‘s office and heard a man‘s low and intimidating voice.

“Come in.”

They went in.

There was only Anthony in the office, sitting on the sofa with his long legs crossed over each other. He was reading a document in his hand.

He did not seem to know who was coming in.

“Mr. Marwood.” Xander nodded respectfully.

Anne lowered her head, did not speak, and did not look directly at Anthony.

She did not even have the right to speak.

Anthony raised his black eyes slightly and said, “Sit down.

“Yes.” Xander sat down.

Anne sat beside him, put a notebook in her hand on her lap, and opened it. 1

Her duty was to be a subordinate, and she should only respond when she was called.

In the middle of work, Xander‘s mobile phone vibrated. “Sorry...” Anthony waved his hand, and he got up and went out to answer the phone. Anne immediately stood up and stood aside.

She could not just sit in front of Anthony without Xander. Anthony was still buried in the document.

There were only two people in the huge office. She felt immense pressure. Anne hoped Xander would return quickly. She did not want to be in the same space as Anthony. His presence was just terrifying. A few minutes passed, and Xander had not come back. Anne could not help but say, “Mr. Marwood, I‘ll take a look.”

“Such a good opportunity for you to plead to me. Are you sure you want to let it go?” Anthony‘s tone was alien and cold.

Anne‘s hand holding the notebook subconsciously tightened. This was not a work matter. Her identity changed all of a sudden, and she was no longer just a puny employee of the company. “No matter how humble I am, there will be times when I feel humiliated.” She lowered her eyes and answered without hesitation, “Come to think of it. It might be a good decision for my mother to leave this place. If I miss her, I can video call her.” Anthony‘s black eyes seemed to pierce through her skin.

Chapter 439 Anne‘s body was stiff, and the beating of her heart was heavy and uneasy. Just when she was about to suffocate, she heard the voice of Anthony, “Pour me a cup of coffee.”

Anne was stunned. Was he speaking to her? Ah yes, she and Anthony were the only ones in the office, and Anthony would never do such a thing himself. “I‘m… not professional.”

“Then find a way to make it professional,” Anthony said ruthlessly. Anne turned around and left the office to pour him coffee.

She was no stranger to the pantry.

She had used it before.

There were water dispensers and a variety of tea, coffee, and coffee machines.

There were ground coffee beans in the refrigerator.

Anne had not made coffee herself, but she had seen her coworkers make coffee many times before.

Filtering the coffee, adding creamers and sugar, and finally stirring. She sniffed the edge of the cup with her nose. It was quite fragrant.

When she went to the office with coffee, Anne turned her head to the left and then to the right, but she did not see Xander.

Where was he taking his phone call?

Was he back?

After knocking on the door and entering the office, she noticed Anthony was still alone inside. She carefully placed the coffee in front of Anthony and stood aside. Watching Anthony take a sip, he heard

him say, “Disgusting.” Anne pursed her lips. “Then I‘ll find someone to make another cup for you, shall I?”

“No need for that.” Anthony took another sip. “I thought you couldn‘t drink coffee? I heard that people with a bad stomach can‘t drink coffee...” Anne asked. When Anthony looked at her with sharp and deep eyes, she said, “I‘m sorry, I‘m being nosy.” “Don‘t you think it‘s a bad idea to care about other men, especially when you‘re about to get married?” Anthony put down the coffee cup and stared at her with black eyes. He looked very aggressive.

Anne became nervous when he said that.

She did not mean that.

“Mr. Marwood misunderstands me. I only had good intentions, nothing else,” Anne explained. Anthony asked, “A misunderstanding? Are you talking about the fact that you are going to get married or the fact that you care about other men?” “I don‘t understand what you mean...” Anne pretended not to understand.

Anthony snorted. “Being cheeky?”

Anne‘s breathing was unsteady. She knew that Anthony knew her extremely well, and she felt as if her thoughts could be seen through by him.

She took the chance to express her doubts. “If... If I marry someone, will you object?”

“I won‘t.”

Anne‘s pupils trembled slightly. She did not expect this answer.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she did not hear Anthony continue speaking.

So, everything was fine, right?

Anthony did not want to control her anymore...

“My ID card.” Anne said.

“It can be used in Luton now.” Anthony‘s dark eyes were unfathomable.

Anne thought this was great! She could not ask for more, for fear that she might trigger Anthony.

He was quite easily offended.

“Thank you.” He was the one who detained her ID card, but she had to thank him.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Xander finally came back.

The atmosphere in the office went back into rigorous work mode.

After work, Anthony left. Anne followed Xander back to the department.

“Mr. Clayton, what took you so long?” “The bank called me. Why?”

Anne initially thought he deliberately took a long time to take the call. Was it okay to ignore Anthony for a long time just to answer the phone?

It may have been with Anthony‘s permission.

“Nothing...” She could only speculate without any evidence.

However, after Anthony said she was free, she felt disoriented.

Was he going to let go of her?

Although she could not leave Luton yet, she could marry other men and find happiness, which was great.

Anne was still very happy. Maybe it was Bianca who influenced him! For the next two days, Anthony did not say anything to her, as if what he said was final. Anne was working in the office. When she was about to get off work, she received a call from Nigel. She answered the call outside. “Dad...” She subconsciously looked at the dark CCTV above, trying to ignore the weird feeling inside her heart.

“Do you need to work overtime today? It‘s not the end of the month, so you shouldn‘t be busy, right?” Nigel asked.

“I’m not busy. I‘ll be working overtime almost every day next week, though!” Anne complained to her father on the phone. Nigel felt distressed when he heard that. “If you feel tired, you can resign and come to Dad‘s company.” “No, I‘ll be tired for only a week. After that, I‘ll be very relaxed. Don‘t worry about me.” Anne felt that if she really went to her father‘s company, Dorothy and Bianca would have a lot to say about that. “What‘s the matter?” “I‘ve arranged for you to dine with Lucas today.”

Chapter 440 Anne hesitated slightly. When she walked out of the company building after she got off work, she saw a familiar vehicle waiting there in the distance. Lucas got out of the car and did not seem to avoid anyone deliberately. He was standing beside the car, and he looked at her with a smile.

Anne walked over. “Why are you here?”

“I was just passing by.”

Anne smiled.

She doubted that, but she did not say anything.

Anne sat in the co–pilot seat and buckled her seat belt. He handed her a box. “I went on a business trip two days ago, and I bought it because I thought it looked good.”

Anne was not used to being given gifts. She felt uncomfortable for a while and said, “Don‘t give me gifts. I can‘t repay your help to me.” “Actually, you are already paying me back when you promised to eat together.” Lucas started the car, and the car drove into the traffic.

Anne understood.

Lucas still liked her.

When the box was opened, there was a bracelet inside. It was exquisite and beautiful, and it made her eyes shine at first glance.

“Do you like it?” Lucas asked.

“It‘s very beautiful.” Anne smiled. “I like it. But don‘t buy it next time. I can‘t pay you back.” Lucas chuckled softly. “How about you invite me to dinner next time? It doesn‘t have to be expensive.”

They chatted happily. Anne was a little worried after thinking of something. “Does your mother know about us? She already knows about my three children. I don‘t want you to have a conflict with your mother because of me.”

“Don‘t worry. I‘ll deal with her.” Lucas saw Anne‘s uneasy expression and said, “I have quite a lot of patience to deal with my mother. My only problem is you.”

Anne bit her lower lip and looked out the car window.

When they got to the room, Nigel was already waiting. Anne saw Nigel and Lucas chatting and knew that it was not the first time they had met.

Nigel was very fond of Lucas. He was a brilliant young man. At this meal, he just wanted to see how Lucas and Anne interacted with each other.

“They were made for each other,‘ Nigel thought.

During this period, Nigel did not say anything more to the two of them. He knew Lucas could take care of everything. Lucas should be the one to propose.

It was not Nigel‘s job to do so anyway. After eating, Lucas sent Anne back.

Sitting in the car, Lucas said, “Will there be another meal like this next time?”

Anne pursed her lips and smiled.“Are you that insecure?” “Maybe.” Lucas chuckled. “Now, all we have to do is to wait for Mrs. Newman to consent.” “What about your dad?” “He listens to his wife.” Lucas paused and said, “I do so too.”

Anne blushed and smiled, then seemed to remember something and asked, “What about the person you dated? Didn‘t you meet with her the last
