Chapter 323


    Dorothy chuckled. She liked how her husband relied on her so much. No one could elsepare to her,


    and she  could not be reced either! However, the way Nigel looked at Anne just now made her


    ufortable. After all, Anne was young and beautiful, and that pretty little face could definitely charm


    any man!


    “I didn‘t expect Sarah to be alone after giving birth to a child. However, I heard that she and Ron had just


    divorced not long ago. It seems that when they married, Sarah concealed the fact that she had given


    birth to a child, and she was divorced after it was discovered. How could a mother abandon her daughter


    to someone else while she married and enjoyed life? She‘s such a horrible person.” Dorothy shook her


    head in contempt.


    Nigel became gloomier when he heard that. “Where did you hear that?”


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    “I found out after a little inquiry. After all, it‘s rted to Bianca‘s future husband‘s family, so we must know


    a little about them. But Anthony didn‘t n to invite  anyone from his father‘s side, not a single one,”


    Dorothy  said.


    She was now confident that Anthony and Tommy were not on good terms. Otherwise , why would he not


    invite  Tommy?


    Anne did not go to the hospital after dinner and returned to her neighborhood directly.


    Downstairs, she received a call from Sarah, who was puzzled. “Are you dating someone right now?”


    “No.”


    “No? I‘m your mom. Don‘t you think I can tell if you‘re dating someone? Who did you have dinner with?


    Was it your boyfriend?” Sarah was keenly aware that Anne was surely having dinner with a man.


    “No.”


    “I just went to the treatment room to ask around, and the nurse told me that you left with a man,” Sarah


    said, “she even said he was handsome and seemed rich, but he was not wearing sses. Is that why


    you rejected Lucas? He  better not be much worse than Lucas, or I won‘t approve  of it!”


    Anne did not want Sarah‘s imagination to run wild, so she confessed, “It was Tommy.”


    “What? Tommy? Why did he look for you?” Sarah was immediately unhappy, as if the mention of any


    member of the Marwood family would make her upset.


    “He helped mest time, and it was nothing more than a dinner together.” Just like Sarah, Anne was also


    afraid of the Marwood family.


    With that, Sarahpletely dispelled the thoughts on her ‘mysterious son–inw‘. Anne could find


    anyone else as long as he was not from the Marwood family!


    At the hospital the next morning, Anne asked, “How long more are you nning to stay here? This little


    amount of money won‘t hurt them.”


    “I know, but I just want to disgust them,” Sarah said,” but the smell of chemicals in the hospital is so


    strong, and it‘s really ufortable. Let‘s go home today!”


    Anne stayed over the night at Sarah‘s ce, and she left the following morning. As Sarah did not have a


    driver now, she offered to drive Anne, but she refused, treating it like a walking exercise instead.


    Even though the mansion was a distance away from the subway station, Anne did not take the taxi.


    Instead, with her headphones on, Anne strolled toward the station. She was not in a hurry as she had


    nothing to do.


    Suddenly, a car honked from behind. Anne thought she was in the way and moved aside. Unexpectedly,


    the car stopped by the roadside.


    The window rolled down, and a man‘s face appeared.


    Anne was shocked.


    Nigel also seemed to be surprised. “It‘s really you. I thought I got the wrong person. Are you going to the


    subway? I happened to be on the way.”


    Anne did not understand what this man was thinking. After all, his wife and daughter had a horrible


    rtionship with her mother. Hence, she refused, “It‘s  fine. I can go by myself.”


    Nigel got out of the car. He was at least 1.85 meters tall, wore a well–fitting suit, and had a well–defined


    figure. It seemed that he exercised quite regrly. Moreover, he aged like fine wine as he still had a


    charming personality despite his age.


    “Don‘t worry. I don‘t have any ill intentions.”


    Anne frowned slightly. “Even if you don‘t, you still n to approach me on purpose.


    Why? Do you still want to get close to my mom? Haven‘t you hurt her enough?”


    “No. That‘s not what I‘m trying to do.” Nigel paused and added, “It‘s alright. I won‘t force it. I just wanted


    to drop you off since I‘m heading the same way.”


    After that, he turned around and got in the car.


    “Oh no!”


    Anne was ready to leave when she heard the scream of pain. Then, she turned to find Nigel bending


    over, looking like he could not stand straight. “What‘s...the  matter?”
