Chapter 1491


    He did not let go for a while and Anne kept her eyes closed as she gasped for air. “You…”


    He stared at her face, as though he could never get tired of looking at her. He caressed her rosy cheek


    and said, “I won’t do anything. I just want to kiss you.”


    Anne felt defeated as he said that every single time and always ended up getting exactly what he


    wanted. However, her will to resist was no longer as strong.


    “Thank you. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to rescue Yuri.”


    “That’s it? Hm?” He narrowed his eyes dangerously as he stared into her soul.


    She shivered, knowing exactly what Anthony wanted.


    It was nothing, since they had slept together countless times before, but her mind drifted to the thought


    of Lucia.


    Lucia was in love with Anthony and to have another woman interfering with their rtionship would be


    a torture.


    Anne lowered her gaze. “If…you have another woman, you need to leave me alone. All I’ve ever


    wanted was to be with my kids.”


    She no longer wanted her heart to waver at the slightest hint.


    “Are you referring to Lucia?”


    Anne jolted, not expecting Anthony to bring it up on his own and was instantly rendered. speechless.


    “I…I’m not saying that you can’t find another woman. I just…”


    He interrupted her forcefully, “Do you want me to see other women?”


    Feeling a lump in her throat, she said, “You like someone else…”


    “The person I like has always been you,” he interrupted her once again.


    She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out.


    ‘He…likes me? Always? But why? Has Anthony ever truly loved me? He hates me and tortures me for


    fun. That’s theplete opposite of liking someone…’ She thought.


    “Lucia just looks like you. I let her stay in the mansion and look at her whenever I miss you. too much.


    I’ve never done anything with her or touched any other women throughout the past two years,” he said


    hoarsely, “I only want you.” 1


    Anne stared into Anthony’s bloodshot eyes, her chest tightening.


    She never knew that this was how he felt about her. “…But don’t you hate me?”


    “No. I don’t. I’ve always loved you. I was a fool…” Anthony cupped her cheeks and nted a kiss onto


    her lips.


    Tears welled in her eyes as she epted the kiss and wondered if this was the reason why Anthony’s


    hair turned gray overnight.


    He pulled her closer in his arms and swore to never let her go, while Anne sobbed into his chest.


    Just as the two enjoyed the moment of peace, Anthony’s phone started vibrating. He refused to move,


    but Anne shoved at him and pulled away.


    “Answer your phone…”


    Anthony kept one arm around Anne and answered the phone with another, his eyes trained on her the


    entire time.


    Someone on the other end of the line said something, and Anthony’s expression darkened.
