Chapter 1538


    Lucas’ emotions recovered very quickly. He did not look that surprised on the surface.


    “It’s been a long time, Mr. Marwood,” he greeted him calmly.


    He would not let their hostile rtionship show on the surface and tear into him. It would look very bad


    on the two of them if he did that in broad daylight.


    “You’re very disappointed, aren’t you?” Anthony said coldly, “Lucas, never mind that you’ve returned to


    the country, but you contacted my wife behind my back. Are you provoking me?


    “You’re overthinking it. Anne and I are friends. We bumped into each other on the street, so we agreed


    to grab lunch sometime. It’s no big deal. You’re too uptight,” said Lucas.


    Anthony’s face was as cold as frost. “Uptight? You’re an educator, but you don’t even know what’s the


    right thing to say?”


    “I knew it was you who called when I was having coffee with Anne yesterday. I left beforehand because


    I thought it was better to have one less trouble. I didn’t expect that I still couldn’t avoid it.” Lucas’ gaze


    was hard to figure out. “You’re still the same as before. You still like to control Anne.”


    Anthony’s expression was cold and sharp. “We don’t need an outsider like you to meddle


    with this.”


    Lucas suddenly asked, “Anthony, do you like Anne?”


    Anthony’s ck eyes darkened. “You’re out of line.”


    “Am I? Since you’re here, let’s have a talk in a calm manner.” Lucas smiled faintly. “You actually do like


    her, don’t you? You like her body and her personality, but…that doesn’t include love.”


    Anthony has a cold and vicious air to him. “How do you know that?”


    “Haven’t you heard such a saying? Loving is having self-control but liking is wanting to possess the


    person. You belonged to thetter. Therefore, when you no longer find it fresh, Anne’s existence would


    no longer be important. Other women would appear by your side. By then, Anne would be very pitiful,


    and that would affect the triplets’ development. The consequences would be very severe.”


    Anthony’s gaze was icy but he did not say anything.


    “On the other hand, does Anne like you?” Lucas asked again, “If it wasn’t for the three children, she


    absolutely wouldn’t have appeared by your side. She did everything because


    she had no choice. Anthony, you, too, know this very well, don’t you?”


    Anthony’s hands, which were on hisp, were clenched into fists as if his fingers were spasming, and


    they trembied a little.


    However, no emotions were showing on his face at all.


    “If you truly love her, you should let her go and let her meet the children whenever she wants, instead


    of trapping her, who’s forcing herself topromise, by your side,” said Lucas.


    “How do you know that she’s forcing herself topromise? You were right. Only I know best if she


    was willing or not.” Anthony stood up. “Don’t contact her in private anymore in the future or I’ll


    completely destroy you.”


    Upon saying that, he turned around and left.


    Lucas’ expression darkened.


    “Oh, yes.” Anthony stopped in his tracks. “She’s my wife. You should address her as Mrs. Marwood.”


    Then, he walked off.


    Lucas’ expression looked extremely terrible, and he was breathing hard, but he could only restrain


    himself.


    He was not in a hurry. Anthony would lead himself to his own grave one day.


    Besides, judging from what Anthony had said earlier, he would not bepletely indifferent, would he?


    Anthony walked out of the restaurant, got into the car, and loosened his tie by pulling it forcefully. His


    expression was cold, which made the entire car feel as cold as ice.


    The driver’s back was so straightened as he was tensed up.


    Indeed, Lucas’ words have affected him.


    Anne did it for the children. She did everything for the children!


    So what? No matter what, she was his wife. She would always be his wife in this life!


    Who did Lucas think he is?


    His thoughts were very domineering, but…his chest felt very tight and he could not breathe.


    The veins on his forehead were popping and twisted.

    Anne was ying with her phone while sitting on the couch. Her legs were bare and curled up. A little


    bit of light from outside was shining in. It was a leisurely time.


    Her screen shed a little. Someone was calling her.
