Chapter 977


    She noticed Hayden approaching from afar but stopping in the distance.


    Embarrassed, she sat up and shoved Anthony before returning to her seat.


    Anthony shot Hayden a cold re as Hayden walked over. “Mr. Marwood, there’s a guest.


    “I


    Anthony narrowed his eyes and said, “Send them away.”


    “She said that there’s something important she needs to talk to you about,” Hayden said.


    Anthony red daggers at Hayden, and without another word, Hayden hastily left.


    Anne had not heard any mention of the guest’s name and asked, “Who’s looking for you? Is it really


    okay to send them away?”


    Anthony lifted an eyebrow. “People need to make appointments if they want to see me, and even then,


    everything ultimatelyes down to my mood.”


    The triplets hurried over, and Chloe asked, “What mood?”


    “Papa and Mama are sharing secrets?”

    “We want to know as well!”


    Seeing how the triplets were covered in their own sweat, she grabbed a towel to wipe their faces and


    hands. ” Secrets? We were just talking.”


    The triplets turned their focus on the table and crawled onto their chairs before reaching out for the


    food with their chubby hands adorably.


    Anne watched them with a faint smile on her face.


    “I saw Papa and Mama kissing just now!” Charlie said all of a sudden, and Anne flushed at the


    realization that the triplets saw them.


    She turned and red at Anthony.


    Anthony was not at all bothered and said, “It’s between us, adults.”


    Anne was surprised at how thick–skinned Anthony was.


    The triplets proceeded to ignore them and continued enjoying their high–tea.


    Just then, Anthony’s phone started vibrating. He took it out before walking to the side to answer it.


    Anne looked at him as he walked away and nced at the entrance of the Royal Mansion, wondering


    who the ‘guest was and who was called Anthony.


    ‘Could it be Bianca?‘ she thought.


    She could not hear what Anthony was saying, and the call ended shortly after.


    Anthony returned to his seat as though nothing had happened, which made Anne wonder even more.


    Eventually, her mind drifted to the memories of her time in the police station.


    Fear grew like weeds within her, and she shivered.


    “What’s wrong?” Noticing her reaction, Anthony grabbed her hands. “Your hands are cold.”


    The weather was not chilling in any way.


    “It’s nothing. Probably because of the juice,” Anne said.


    Anthony touched her ss that contained juice and moved it aside. “Don’t drink this.” He then turned


    and ordered the servants to bring warm milk.


    “Mama, let me blow at your hands. That way, you won’t be cold!” Chloe got closer and took her


    mother’s hands before blowing warm air at Anne’s hands.


    Amused, Anne chuckled. “Thank you, Chloe.”


    Seeing how her expression had brightened slightly, Anthony rxed.


    A servant brought back a ss of warm milk, and Anne took a few sips. Before she could set it down


    on the table, Chloe batted her eyshes at Anne and said, “Mama, I want milk, too!”


    Anne fed Chloe a few sips, and Chloe shook her head afterward. “It doesn’t taste as good as Mama’s


    milk!”


    Sensing the darkened look in Anthony’s eyes, Anne desperately hoped that she could bury herself in


    the ground.


    As they returned to the house, Anne instinctively nced at the entrance once again and saw no sign


    of the guest Hayden mentioned.


    ‘Probably already gone,’ she thought.


    The next day, Anthony had to head to Archduke Group. Since Anne was not sleepy, she waited until


    the triplets went to their afternoon nap before heading to work.
