Ch. 556..560: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 556-560
Chapter 555
Anne looked at Nigel. "Dad, did you come here with mom?"
Sarah got angry when she heard this. "If it weren't for that devil Anthony, I'd have come to visit you at noon... my
goodness, why is the lunch I brought in the trash can?"
She picked up the food in the trash can.
Sarah was furious!
"Who did this to the food? What a psycho!"
Anne knew that Anthony had done it.
"Don't be angry. Anne can't eat those in her current condition anyway." Nigel tried to appease her.
Sarah held back her temper and asked Anne, "Anne, tell your mother honestly, why are you so seriously hurt?"
Anne glanced at her father and said, ‘I fell."
"You fell?"
"There." Anne pointed to the table. "It was an accident."
"What were the nurses doing? They get paid so much, and yet they are unable to take care of a normal patient like you?" Sarah was angry, feeling as if her payments had gone down the drain. "Fire her and hire a new nurse. V
"Mom, it's none of her business. I asked her to go out and buy food for me, and then I wanted to go to the toilet, but I didn't pay attention to my surroundings. It was my fault" Anne said.
Sarah touched her little face. "Look at you. You've lost a lot of weight. I feel so sorry for you! I'm going to cook so much food for you when you've recovered!"
"Sure."
Nigel's cell phone rang. He glanced at it and hung up.
"Dad, just take the call. I'm fine here, don't worry about me," Anne said.
"I will come to see you later," Nigel said.
"It's alright. My mother will accompany me here. Mom, you can walk Dad out," Anne said.
"No..." Nigel was about to refuse.
"She said so, and you can't refuse." Sarah got up and pulled Nigel out.
Anne looked at the physical contact between the two of them, and it seemed to her that they were still in a rather close relationship.
What Bianca did was just horrible.
Bianca used Anthony to force her father to make a decision!
Her father had no other choice but to do as she wanted.
Otherwise, her mother would never be able to return to Luton.
Anne returned to her senses and saw the bag at the end of the bed.
Sarah put it there just now.
The phone should be inside...
Anne supported herself and moved to the end of the bed. She reached for the bag, opened it, got her mobile phone, and dialed Lucas's number on her mobile phone.
While waiting, she kept glancing at the door.
"Hello, who is it?” Lucas's voice came.
"It's me, Anne. Have you found the children?"
"Sorry, I'm still looking for them."
Anne was about to collapse. "Why cant they find them? Why..."
"I think I have a lead. I'll tell you when I find the children."
"You do?"
"I'm going to investigate the matter. I'm not sure yet. I’ll tell you if I have news," Lucas said.
"Okay, okay, thank you, Principal," Anne cried out gratefully.
"I also care about the children very much."
"This phone number belongs to my mother. My previous number is no longer available. Anthony found out that I
contacted you, and I dare not use it again."
"He didn't do anything to you, did he?"
"No, I fainted when I started worrying about the children, which made him worry that I might die unexpectedly..." If
she died, who else could he torture?
Chapter 556
“I will find the kids as soon as possible.”
After hanging up, Anne placed the phone back into her bag and lay down weakly.
Her eyes were filled with tears.
Her heart was wrenched.
She could not be discharged now in this condition. Even if she managed to be, how would she go and look for her kids?
Lucas had a much bigger network than she had.
Plus, did Lucas mean he knew who brought the kids away?
Once she has her goals set, she must be able to find the kids quickly!
Moona, on the other hand, called Bianca and told her that Lucas might have already guessed it was her.
She asked her to think of a strategy quickly.
Turned out Bianca asked her to bring the three kids out of Luton immediately.
Once out of Luton, it would be much harder for them to search!
However, the kids were missing. How would they be able to bring them away?
Moona saw Lucas leave and immediately headed to Luke’s rented place.
As soon as she entered the door, she asked, “Where are the kids?”
Before Luke could answer, the door was kicked open by someone.
The mother and son both jumped.
Moona was too shocked to speak when she saw the person entering.
Luke knew Lucas. After all, Lucas was his mother’s employer.
After entering, Lucas started searching high and low around the house but did not find the kids.
Moona said, “Mr. Newman, the missing triplets have nothing to do with me.”
Lucas thought, ‘Could he have judged wrongly?”
He walked to Luke, his eyes behind the glasses locked onto Luke’s. “It’s okay. Tell me, and I will give you a good amount of money.”
Luke was swayed. “Really?”
Moona knew she could not turn back as soon as her son said that, she was immediately pissed off!
“I brought the kids here, but they ran away. Can you believe it? A kid that is this size stole my keys…”
“When did they run away?” Lucas had no patience for his long-winded story.
“Almost an hour ago.”
Lucas turned and wanted to leave.
Moona hit her son hard with a fist.
Luke pursued, “Where’s the money?”
“Wait for your jail time!” Lucas did not even turn his head back.
Luke was stunned.
Moona felt her legs melting away when she heard that.
“Mom, will Mr. Newman really send me to jail? No matter what, you have been contributional to his school!” Luke tugged at Moona.
Moona flung his hand away angrily. “You could not think straight whenever you hear about money, could you?”
“Why are you putting the blame on me? You made me do that. Now you even blame me for that! I don’t care. Go and beg mercy from the principal. Otherwise, you will see your only son in jail, and no one will take care of you and Dad when you are old!” Luke said defiantly.
Moona was, of course, unwilling to let her son go to jail.
However, they did not finish the mission, and she needed to figure out what to do with Bianca!
They had to at least have one of the sides!
Moona called Bianca as she left the house.
Bianca lost her chill. “What? The kids ran away? Three toddlers could run away? What is your orphanage doing!”
“Now what? If the incident is under investigation, can you not involve me?” Moona was scared.
If her son were jailed, she would probably be jailed too. Then, the family would be gone.
Chapter 557
“Fine, I would not involve you, then you better not involve me either. After all, no one saw you hiding the kids,” Bianca said.
“However… My son confessed to the principal that he was related to the missing kids.”
“Is your son an id*ot?” Bianca was absolutely despising him and stomped around the studio angrily. “Since he wanted to admit it, let him go to jail then!”
“Ms. Faye, I cannot! I only have one son. He cannot go to jail! Please, think of some ways.”
“Fine, as long as you don’t expose me, I will not let you and your son go to jail.”
“Really? Thank you!”
“However, you must find the kids, then send them far, far away!”
“If I cannot?”
Bianca felt that it was so difficult to speak to this dumbo. “You have to find them no matter what! Even if you cannot!”
“Yes… I will find them!”
Bianca was so annoyed that she sat heavily in her chair.
The kids ran away. Where would they go?
Anne said her kids were intelligent. They indeed were!
They escaped!
Was it so hard for them to leave Luton? They really behaved like Anne, it ran in the family!
Bianca would never allow the three of them to get back with Anthony!
Meanwhile, the three kids disembarked from the cab and stood before the grand entrance of the Archduke Group. They looked up at the skyscraper with their little heads lifted.
“Are we really here to find Papa?”
“We are his children. Who else should we find other than him? It is already bad enough for us to keep troubling our school principal!”
“Poor Papa, he never knew about us!” Chris shook his head.
Chloe asked, “What if Papa does not want to accept us?”
“That would be great! If he does not accept us, then Mama does not need to keep hiding. us or be worried about that anymore!” Charlie said.
“Kills two birds with one stone!” Charlie pointed his tiny finger up in the sky, with much macho.
The triplets entered the lobby of the Archduke Group.
The concierge thought the triplets looked somewhat familiar and then recalled that they had been here before. “Wow, it is you three cuties again. Do you still remember me? Last time…”
When they got closer, the staff member at the concierge lost her words.
She looked at Charlie and Chris unbelievably.
She rubbed her eyes dramatically.
What was up with those little faces that resembled Mr. Marwood so much?
“Quick, see!” She called her colleague over.
When the colleague came to check them out, she got shocked and fell to the ground.
“Oh my Lord… This…”
Chloe smiled sweetly. “Our papa is Anthony, can we please go see him at his office?”
“Ah… Yes… Sure you can…” The concierge girls were still stunned and sent the triplets to the designated lift that went straight to Anthony’s office.
Then, she called the secretary, Oliver, “Oh no, Mr. Clayton, there are three kids going up to the office.”
Oliver immediately understood who these kids were.
Judging from Mr. Marwood’s reaction last time, he guessed allowing the kids to go in and out of the office was fine.
The Rolls Loyce stopped in front of the office, and Anthony caught the concierge staff chattering away with each other as soon as he left the car. His intimidating presence immediately put pressure on them.
‘Oh no, oh no, would we get fired?’
They just accidentally got to know that Mr. Marwood had kids?
As soon as the lift door closed, one of them asked, “Whose kids are those?”
“Do you even need to ask? The faces are tiny versions of Mr. Marwood! Whose else could they be?”
“I mean, who is their mother?”
“The Pianist?”
Chapter 558
“The Pianist does not look like someone who has had a baby before! If it were her, she would have already been peacocking around the office! I guess it is some girl outside!”
Things are not as simple as that too!
“I agree!”
The lift door opened, and Oliver came in with a stern face that was never before so serious.
Anthony glanced at him and said, “What’s up?”
“Mr. Marwood… there are… kids in the office.”
Anthony frowned, and his face fell. “Who allowed them in again? Do you not know the mess they made the last time?”
Oliver faced him courageously. “Mr. Marwood, it’s better for you to take a look for yourself! I … I think I cannot judge for myself anymore.”
It was Anthony’s first time seeing Oliver stuttering like this. It was just the triplets. What else was there for him to judge?
“What mess did they make this time?” Anthony turned and walked to the office.
He thought, ‘Would they have made it messier than last time?”
They really need some serious education!
Anthony entered the office. Oliver did not but merely waited by the door.
He felt that the sky was going to turn red today.
Anthony entered the office but did not see any mess in it. He saw on his chair, which was úsually his throne, sat an adorable girl who was scribbling using his pen on the table.
She heard someone entering and looked up with an adorable smile. She asked, “You are back?”
Anthony stopped walking. He looked at the girl in astonishment. He thought he saw someone else, Anne.
She looked especially like twelve-year-old Anne.
“Why are you not saying anything? Do you not know us?” Chloe tilted her head and asked adorably.
“You look like a girl that I know…” Anthony walked forward and stood before his table. He looked at the miniature version of Anne before him and almost could not find his own voice.
Something in his head was trying to get out.
Chloe heard what he said and felt even more delighted about it. “What a coincidence! My two brothers look a lot like you too! We are triplets!”
Triplets… The triplets, who were always wearing masks, appeared in his mind. His body trembled, and his muscles were so stiff that his blood almost stopped circulating.
They were the triplets that appeared before him for, not just one time.
The ones who went to school at Pinnacle Academy, the ones who had a nanny that took care of them.
Plus, on Anne’s belly, there was a surgery scar that she claimed was from the appendicitis surgery.
She would call Charlie’s name in her dreams.
Anne lived on the fifth floor. The kids lived on the sixth floor.
At that moment, Anthony immediately understood it!
“We are done peeing!”
Anthony turned around, and his gaze crossed with Chris’.
He looked at the tiny face and finally understood why the triplets were wearing masks.
They were the miniature version of him.
Charlie was a little stunned. “When did you get back? I waited for you for so long that I had to pee!”
Chris looked at Anthony with wide eyes and asked, “You guys are done talking?”
Anthony was caught utterly off guard by this surprise.
His face was still dark. Darn it, Anne!
Chloe stepped onto the chair and climbed onto the table. She stood up and said, “We have not discussed it!”
Anthony turned his head around and cuddled Chloe into his arms. “Be careful. You are standing too high up.”
“I will not fall!” Chloe grinned.
Anthony looked at her adorable appearance and then looked at the two boys. “Come here.”
Chapter 559
Charlie and Chris went over. They were like little penguins and were barely reaching their father’s knees.
Anthony squatted down, and carried the two of them up, having three babies in his arms all at once, easy peasy.
This feeling felt as though he was carrying three fluffy pets in his arms.
Anthony could not believe that they were his own kids.
He calculated the time, and they were less than three years old.
However, all this while, he had never known about them…
“Do you know who I am?” Anthony asked.
“I do! You are Papa!” Chloe said.
“We have known about you for so long! It’s only you who don’t know about us.” Charlie was adorably angry.
“Papa is not too smart,” Chris said,
Anthony’s facial expression was a little unpleasant. “I will have a separate conversation with your mother.”
Sarah kept Anne company in the hospital, and Anne did not want her to leave because she wanted to use her phone.
“Mom, have dinner with me tonight, please?” Anne said.
Sure. Anything that you feel like having?” Sarah asked.
E
“The ones that I feel like having are the ones that I cannot be having.” Anne laid her head against the pillow and said lazily.
Sarah said, “At least there are some options for the bland food that you should be having! Let me make you some aglio olio. We can have access to the hospital kitchen, right? Here, let me make some food for you. It is convenient.”
“Alright.”
Sarah then happily headed out to make food for her daughter.
Anne’s attention was immediately drawn to the bag that Sarah had left behind.
The bag was on the couch. She moved her body to get off the bed, rummaged through the bag to find the phone, and called Lucas, “Mr. Newman, how did it go? Do you have any information so far? I’m sorry, I am really concerned…”
“They were brought away by the nanny.”
“What do you mean?”
“The nanny deliberately brought the kids to the toy store and then got her son to kidnap the kids away, pretending that she did not know anything about this. I managed to find her son Luke, but the kids ran away. I am still checking the surveillance, and I have not found the kids. That is why I did not call you,” Lucas said.
Anne was relieved. At least she knew that the kids were not brought away by some other strangers.
“If the kids had run away, they would naturally think of ways for themselves. You don’t know that they could get back into the country on their own. I was so shocked myself,” Anne said.
“Don’t worry, they are smart. I have already alerted the condo and residential area to get everyone to keep an eye on them.”
“Right. I don’t understand why the nanny does so. She was usually a nice person.” Anne was confused.
“I have not asked. We will handle them when we find the kids.”
“Okay, I will not hold you any longer. Please call me at this number as soon as you find the kids.”
“Sure.”
As soon as she hung up, Anne heard some footsteps outside the door.
Anne was stunned. Her mother would not return so quickly from the cooking. Who was that?
She regained herself and quickly tossed the phone into the bag.
When the door opened, Anne quickly got up. Even if she managed to hide her expression well enough in front of Anthony, the panic lingered in the air.
Anthony opened the door, and his dark eyes stared right into hers. His face was expressionless.
Anne pursed her lips, not sure why she could not really read Anthony’s gaze this time.
It felt as though he wanted to peel her skin off alive badly.
What did she do? It was not because of the phone call just now, was it?
“…Why are you here?” Anne suppressed the panic in her and asked.
Chapter 560
Anthony’s gaze was as though he had wanted to pierce it right through her. This woman had been around him for so long, but she hid the kids all this while!
He was pretty impressed by how she managed to put up such a good show, fawn at him, and please him.
How dare she do it!
Anne did not know what was on Anthony’s mind when he looked at her intensely. It only made her feel even more anxious and nervous.
Just when the atmosphere almost climaxed, she finally heard Anthony’s monotonous deep voice.
‘Why are you standing here?”
“I… I had spent too much time in bed. It was a little boring. I wanted to go take a walk…” Anne looked down.
She did not manage to zip the bag, and a corner of the phone could be seen.
However, she felt that Anthony would not touch her mother’s belongings.
“I had walked a bit, and don’t need any more walks for now.” Anne then sat by the bed and snuggled herself in.
She noticed Anthony was edging toward her and had her guard up.
Especially when this dangerous man sat down on the couch, the bag was within his reach.
“Listen, the triplets went missing,” Anthony said slowly and steadily, as though having a casual small talk with her.
Anne’s fingers trembled like they were having spasms, however barely noticeable. Her face was wearing an oblivious expression. “Missing? What happened? I have not been back for a long time. I did not know about it…”
“I remember that you are very fond of the kids. Do you need my help to look for them?” Anthony offered.
Anne was trying to think fast about this.
If she had Anthony’s help, using his power and resources, she would be able to find the kids in no time.
However, that way, the truth would not be hidden anymore.
Plus, Lucas was almost getting there by now. She guessed she did not need additional help
“I think… The family members of the triplets will search for them, and the cops too. We don’t have to help search for them,” Anne said.
She thought her lie was flawless. However, it was easily seen through by Anthony.
His hawk eyes looked at her intensely and then said, “Great.”
Anne’s heartbeat was a mess.
She did not understand what Anthony meant.
Why did she feel scared?
Sarah came back to the ward with the aglio olio, only to see some familiar faces of the bodyguards.
More importantly, they were stopping her from going in.
“Let me in! Didn’t you see what I have in my hands? If my daughter starves, could you bear the consequences?”
The bodyguards stood in the middle and did not budge.
“Do you hear me? Let me in. Otherwise, I will spill the hot food on your…” She did not manage to say the word ‘faces’.
The door of the ward was suddenly opened.
The strong aura whooshed out from the door and made Sarah take a few steps back.
Anthony walked away without taking one glance at her at all.
Once he left, the bodyguards followed too, and naturally did not stop her from going in anymore.
Sarah noticed Anthony’s facial expression. He looked grim. She was worried that Anne was bullied and quickly entered the ward. “Anne, what did Anthony do to you? Did he bully you again?”
Anne shook her head and answered, “…No.”
It was exactly because nothing happened, that she felt intimidated.
Anthony was acting weird, as though he wanted to kill her but suppressed the urge.
‘Great’ was all he said and left her with an immense threat.
Anthony was always hard to predict, and she could not even tell what was on his mind.
Was it because he noticed that she was making the phone call?
However, he did not say a word about the phone.
“Don’t bother. Here, have some good food.” Sarah placed the plate down on the table.
