Chapter 1495


    Anne stayed with the triplets at night to watch over them as they continued working on their homework.


    She did not need to offer guidance in anything and it was in general rather rxing.


    Anne sat quietly, relishing the peaceful moment with her children.


    Since Anthony had left the country for a time, he was upied with all the piled-up work. Still, he did


    not head to the office and insisted on working in the study room.


    Anne’s mind drifted away as she considered what might happen at night.


    ‘Are we sleeping in separate rooms, or… She thought, her heart racing.


    Anthony would have never let her out of the study room earlier if dinner was not ready, which meant


    Anthony would have no reason to let her goter at night.


    “Mama, why is your face red?” Chloe asked.


    “She’s probably hot!” Charlie said.


    Chris batted his eyes in confusion.


    Anne was about to exin herself when her phone rang.


    She picked up the phone and noticed that it was an unknown number. rmed, she patted Chris on


    the head and said, “I’m going to answer this. Focus on your homework.” She then proceeded to head


    out to the balcony. “Hello.”


    “You are lucky to have escaped.” It was a familiar-sounding altered voice.


    Anne jolted. “You killed Yuri! Why?”


    “Because you lied.”


    “That’s why you had to kill her?” Anne was furious, knowing that the man was referring to how she


    appeared with the severed head of someone else.


    “You need to be punished if you do something wrong. That’s the rules in Tianya.”


    “You killed someone I cared for and I won’t ever work for you again. That’s my rule!”


    “Aren’t you curious as to why I’m using a number in your country?”


    Anne tightened her grip around her phone. “You followed me here?”


    “I only have onemand. Finish the mission I gave you and you will be free.”


    Anthony’s death was the only thing that could bring an end to everything.


    Anne’s chest heaved and was about to respond, when her phone was snatched out of her hand. She


    turned around to find Anthony standing behind her.


    “You want to kill me? Do it yourself instead of hiding around like a rat,” Anthony spoke into the phone


    and the man hung up without responding.


    “Ignore him,” Anthony said.


    Anne looked away. “I’m not going to kill you.”


    “Why not?”


    “Why not? That’s a weird question. You are the father of my children. How can I kill you?”


    “And if I’m not?”


    “Why do you mean? You are their father,” she retorted.


    Anthony stared into her eyes. “Anne, you know exactly what I want to hear.”


    Anne panicked and thought to herself, ‘Anthony said that he loves me, but what about me? Do I love


    him? If I confess my love for him, I can never be the same.’


    “I’m going back to the kids.” She ran back to the study room, where the triplets waited with their doe-


    like eyes trained on the door.


    “Are you done with your hom-” Before Anne could sit down, she was pulled aside. “You…”


    “Do your homework and go to sleep once you are done,” Anthony ordered, before taking Anne away,


    leaving the triplets behind to gape in confusion.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.
