Chapter 498


    "Two days ago. It''s fine. I will go back tomorrow or the day after. The nurse there keeps in touch with me," she said.


    "I''m sorry, Anne, but I''m upied right now so I can''t go there."


    ''I know. It''s okay. Focus on what you need to do. I can handle this." Anne paused, before asking, "Dad, are you okay?"


    "Yeah. Don''t worry." Nigel could not tell his daughter the truth that there was another woman forcing him to get involved.


    Anne did not ask because he knew that he was in a difficult position, and for as long as he remained married to Dorothy, they were still a


    family.


    Two dayster, Anne called Anthony and asked, "You want toe over for dinner?"


    "Busy," Anthony refused.


    "No? I prepared a candle-lit dinner. I cooked," she said, "besides, don''t you want to spend the night here?"


    Anthony quieted down.


    Anne felt a little nervous. She would have to go to Anthony if he refused toe and she did not want


    to risk running into Bianca.


    "Wash up."


    Anne''s face flushed as her heart skipped a beat. "Alright. I''ll wait for you." After hanging up, Anne


    checked the time and went into the kitchen to cook. She was determined to satisfy Anthony and since


    she had grown up under the same roof as him, she knew what he liked.


    She ordered high-grade sneak and grilled it with pasta and egg sd as sides.


    Once she was done, she ced the food on the table and went to the bathroom to shower.


    The running water scrolled down the curves of her body from head to feet, and halfway through the


    shower, the bathroom door flew open to her bewilderment.


    Startled, she turned around and her stomach dropped at the sight of the man who barged in.


    "I''m almost done. Dinner is ready." 1


    Anthony took off his clothes and tossed them aside casually. He unbuttoned his shirt with one hand and


    stared intently at Anne''s body." There''s no hurry."


    Knowing that she could not escape, she remained silent and walked up to him, before wrapping her


    arms around his neck and kissing him on the lips.


    "I''ll help you..."


    ''So eager, hm?"


    "I don''t know what you like, so I can only test things out,” Anne said, knowing that Anthony would not


    appreciate someone telling him they knew him well.


    Anthony snorted and pinned her against the wall.


    They sat down for the candlelit dinner with steak and a bottle of wine.


    Anne noticed that the wine wasn''t the one she had initially prepared and asked, "You brought this?"


    "Is your wine even drinkable?"


    Anne did not respond.


    Indeed, her bottle that cost within a hundred could not possiblypare to whatever Anthony brought.


    ''This probably costs thousands of dors, right?" She asked.


    Anthony shot her a look wordlessly and Anne immediately realized she had underestimated the price. To avoid any further embarrassment,


    she remained quiet.


    Anthony proceeded to open the bottle of wine and poured Anne a ss. Anne was pleasantly surprised by his gesture.

    The two ate and drank the wine. Anne did not think that Anthony would be unhappy with the steak she cooked, since he had already eaten


    what she cooked a few times already. All things aside, she had be somewhat an expert in cooking steak after living abroad for a few


    years.


    It was clear that Anne''s invitation had an agenda behind it, but she could not quite determine what would be the best time to mention her


    request, fearing that she might be rejected if the timing was not right.
