"It's also possible that they had a small fight, so Anthony couldn't wait to run over and soothe her anger," said Corentin.Ashlynn nodded and believed in Corentin's words. After all, nothing else happened."I'm done washing up. You go ahead and wash up. I'm going to give my mother a call and tell her that Anne is also going to attend her birthday party." Ashlynn turned around and left the bathroom.She picked up the phone on the nightstand and dialed Beth's number.Corentin did not stop her. He simply looked at Ashlynn's back with a darkened gaze.Nobody answered the call after it rang for a few seconds.Just when Ashlynn found it strange, the call got connected. "Mom, are you busy? Why are you only picking up the phone now?""It's two in the morning here at my end.""Huh? What do you mean?""Your father and I are traveling abroad.""Traveling? So sudden? Your birthday is in a few days!" Ashlynn was extremely surprised."We…want to spend some time with just the two of us, s
Ashlynn felt a little down after Anne left. "Now that Anne has returned to Luton, I'm all on my own."Corentin, who was by her side, could not help but laugh. "Am I not a person?""You're a man.""There's a difference between a man and a woman? What do you have to say that you can't tell me?" Corentin pulled her over and made her sit on his lap."What…are you doing?"Corentin did not say anything. Instead, he put his hand on Ashlynn's belly, and the emotions reflected in his squinting eyes were unstable. "I still have to wait for a few months to do…""You seem to be in a hurry?"Corentin lifted his head and looked at her. "I can't wait to be a father. Would you like a girl or a boy?""How about you?" Ashlynn asked in return."I'll love the baby either way as long as you're the one who gave birth to the baby.""Don't you want a son?""I wouldn't have to wait until now if I truly wanted a son." Corentin pinched her cheek. "You know it as well. I don't want anybody other than y
Jeremy stood up. "I just sat down not long ago. Did you sleep well?"Just as Ashlynn was about to tell him she slept very well, she saw Jeremy's face, and she was stunned. "Jeremy, why are you so much thinner?"He used to be thin as well in the past, but he looked decent.However, at that moment, he had lost a lot of weight to the point that his cheeks were sunken."Are you having a tough time at work? Is it very tiring?" Ashlynn could not help but feel sorry.It took Jeremy a great deal of control to suppress that intense sorrow, then he smiled. "I've been working on a project recently that's been a real headache, so I've been pulling all-nighters."Ashlynn did see the dark circles under his eyes. "You have to rest no matter how busy you get. What happens if you ruin your health?"Jeremy pulled her over and made her sit down. "Don't stay standing. You're carrying a child in your belly! You're still worrying about me now when you're the one that I'm most worried about. I'll hold
At first, when the triplets came out of their school and saw their papa's car, they did not feel anything. However, when they saw their mama getting out of the car, their eyes instantly lit up.They then rushed right to her."Mama!""Mama!""Mama!"Anne stretched her arms wide while smiling, happily endured the force of them rushing into her arms, and hugged them tightly.They had been apart for more than a week, so she truly was missing them very much."Mama, when will the baby boy be born?" asked Charlie."It's a baby girl!" Chloe corrected him."Mmhmm." Chris sided with his sister.Besides, he did not mind if the baby was a boy or a girl.Chloe's eyes were bright. "Chris said it's a baby girl, so she must be a baby girl!""Fine. Baby girl." Charlie was helpless.Anne smiled and pinched their little cheeks. The more she pinched, the more she liked it. "There's still a few months to go! Come on. Let's first get in the car."Anthony, who was standing at the side, was simp
After he kissed every inch of that small mouth of hers, both in and out, he hugged her tightly.Anne was feeling dizzy when he heard Anthony say, "I'll first help to wash you." His hand was caressing her back.Anne's back shuddered and tensed up.That was because her back was quite sensitive. It was even harder for her to keep calm after she was kissed by him.She originally thought Anthony was just saying he would help wash her up as an excuse, and then things would get dirtier as he washed her up.However, in the end, after they were both done taking a shower, Anthony wrapped her up in a towel and carried her out of the bathroom.After they got onto the bed, Anthony put his strong body on top of her without dropping his full weight on her so that she would not feel uncomfortable.He brushed the tip of his sharp nose against her beautiful nose. Her face was flushed, and her short breaths were filled with sweetness, which tempted him to do nasty things. However, he did not dev
Anne got up in fear as she thought of something.She was still wrapped in a towel, looking pure and beautiful like a doll.She did not notice that Anthony's gaze got even darker."If Corentin were the one who killed them, then wouldn't Ashlynn be in grave danger? Even if Corentin won't kill her, it's too scary to be sharing the same bed with such a man!" Anne could not even imagine it.Anthony wrapped his arms around her body and trapped her in his arms again.Anne was like a caterpillar that could not move. It was as if she had been tied up."Anthony, are you listening to me?""I am." Anthony kissed her fair, soft cheek as if he could multitask. "Ashlynn's life won't be in danger. Don't worry. Our goal is to find out where Tommy is hiding. They need to take care of the rest themselves."Anne knew that, but she was still filled with worries deep down.She suddenly thought that Corentin was way scarier than Anthony.They were his wife's father and mother! They were his childre
Other than the triplets, nobody would dare to knock on the door like that.Anthony's expressions darkened, but he could not be helped.In the past, Anthony would not bother locking his door at all because nobody would dare to enter anyway.After the three children moved in, he had to lock the door every night. Otherwise, there was no telling when the triplets would climb into bed with them.They were almost turning five, but they still could not be parted from their mother.That made Anthony, who was incredibly possessive, very unhappy.Because he opened the door so suddenly, the triplets fell on their faces and stacked on top of each other."How dare you wake your mother up?" Anthony had an imposing air to him even without getting angry, and he looked frustrated as his desires were not met.Unfortunately, the triplets would not have thought of that.Charlie asked, "Is Mama still sleeping?"Chris said, "No way! She told us last night she's going to take us to school today."
The toxin had long been inside her body, but it just suddenly appeared. That was because Anthony had taken a shower with her last night. He was such a shrewd man, and his gaze had scanned every inch of her body, so it was impossible for him not to see such obvious black marks.A layer of skin on the surface of the ulcer was still intact, which meant she had not infected others.Once her skin tore, the fluid on top would easily infect the other parts of her body. It would simply be unpreventable.Anne was frightened. It was fortunate that it was noticed in time. Otherwise, she would have infected Anthony and the triplets.That was absolutely unacceptable!Also, she would not be able to hide such a matter from Anthony.If she did not let Anthony touch her, he certainly would suspect something. By then, the situation would only be worse.However, how exactly did she get infected?Anne turned on her heel and headed toward Anthony's office. She even forgot to knock because she was i
