Chapter 1474


    “Let’s go together.”


    Anne was stunned by his words for a moment and thought to herself, ‘Are we two high- school girls or


    something? Why are we going to the bathroom together? Besides, you aren’t even a girl! Why would a


    guy and a woman go to the bathroom together?’


    “You can go ahead. I will go over to the other side…” Anne kept her head bowed and made way for


    him. As soon as she walked past the door, Anthony dragged her backward by the wrist.


    “The other one is under repair.”


    “Then I’m going upstairs.” Since there were plenty of bathrooms in the Royal Mansion, they could not


    possibly all be under repair.


    Anthony stared at her intently. “Why are you scared? I won’t do anything.”


    She pulled her hand away. “You are being ridiculous.” She headed outside.


    Anthony did not stop her again and smiled, seemingly pleased with Anne’s reaction.


    The children returned home afterward, and Anne stayed with them the entire time. After dinner, the


    triplets pleaded for their parents to y with them, so the two did not have a chance to be alone until


    Anne returned to her room after the children went to sleep.


    She was about to head into the bathroom when Anthony walked inside without knocking.


    Realizing that he did not knock, he said without a trace of sincerity in his tone, “Should I go outside and


    knock again?”


    She shot him a resigned look. “What do you want?”


    “Did you tell your friend?” Anthony walked over and stopped when he was two steps away from her.


    Anne hesitated, not wanting Yuri toe into contact with Anthony. For someone as sharp as Anthony,


    he might be able to sense that something was wrong, and Anne did not want anyone in Luton to find


    out about what she suffered through on the ind.


    “She’s been living overseas so she isn’t used to the environment around here.” Anne made


    up an excuse.


    “So you are leaving?” He stared at her with his dark, brooding eyes like a beast attempting to control


    itself.


    “It’s not like I’m nevering back,” Anne whispered. Her children were here, and even without


    Anthony’s permission, she would sneak back to see them. Moreover, she had the power to bargain with


    Anthony…


    Anthony closed the distance between them, his shadow looming over her, threatening to suffocate her


    with his presence.


    Anne was about to back away when he pulled her close, and she mmed against his abdomen.


    Sensing the heat radiating off his skin, she shivered and attempted to remainposed. She scowled


    and asked, “What are you…”


    He bent down and rubbed his nose against hers. “I can’t sleep in my room so I’ming to spend the


    night in yours.”


    Anne tried her best to calm her heart. “Can you make up a better excuse, at the very least?”


    A few minutester, Anne stood in the middle of what seemed to be Anthony’s bedroom and gaped at


    the state it was in.

    All the things had been broken, including the ceiling and the bed, as though someone had


    thrown a bomb into the room.


    “I wasn’t lying, was I?” Anthony asked.


    Anne turned around stiffly and stared at the wless mask on the man’s face, realizing that she was the


    only one who was shocked by the situation.


    It was hardly logical that a room inside the Royal Mansion would turn into such a state.


    “Did you do this?” This was the only possible exnation, but only a madman would do such a thing.


    “This is my room,” he said, denying any responsibility.
