Chapter 176 “Yeah. It‘s Anthony‘s cousin. He didn‘t tell Anthony, though. Probably after something else because he doesn‘t get along with Anthony.”
“More and more people are going to find out,” Lucas said. She bit her lip, knowing that he was right.
‘But what can I do? Where can I hide the children away safely? Anthony has a woman he loves by his side now, and the existence of the three children will only be bad news to him,‘ she thought, unable to imagine what would happen if Anthony found out. “If you don‘t mind, the kids can stay with me,” Lucas offered. “With... you?” Surprised, she said, “How could we? That‘s not okay.”
“I live alone and there‘s a housekeeper at home who can take care of the kids. You can come over to see them anytime you want,” Lucas said. She could not bring herself to trouble Lucas to such an extent. He was the principal of the kindergarten her children went to, and it made sense that he would like children. Her triplets seemed to get more and more accustomed to calling Lucas ‘Daddy‘ and she could not get them to stop “The kids already said yes,” Lucas said.
“Of course, they said yes,‘ she thought. “That‘s... asking too much of you. Seriously...” She had never felt like she owed someone so much.
“It‘s okay. I won‘t affect my life much.” “I don’t know how to thank you,” she said sheepishly.
“We can help each other.”
Anne knew what he meant but still felt like she was taking advantage of him. However, she had no other options. She could not allow Anthony to find out about the children.
Just after she had settled the issue with her children, she was told that there was a gathering for the finance department. She was about to deliver the children‘s belongings to Lucas and had to reschedule due to the gathering
She was new to the department, and so she could not refuse to participate.
It was not until she arrived that she realized the men and women in the finance department were all very good at drinking.
She gaped as they gulped down one drink after another, and by the time she managed to slip out to the washroom, she felt like the earth was shaking.
Anne knew that she would pass out is she stayed because the others were too strong.
She kept her purse close and went to wash her face.
The splash of cold water to her burning cheeks felt heavenly. She looked up at the mirror,
seeing nothing else but her flushed face.
She stepped out and went to the elevator wlien her phone started ringing. She dazedly reached into her purse and searched for her phone. Once she found it, she answered the call without even looking at the display.
The elevator door opened, and someone stepped inside. Anne was leaning against the wall and simply curled up against herself.
When Anthony stepped into the elevator, he did not stop but was clearly taken by surprise. Bianca followed himn into the elevator and glanced at the person at the corner of thie elevator.
Oliver was the last one to step inside and spotted Anne as well. Instantly, he was surrounded by tension. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Anne did not notice who had stepped into the elevator and struggled to answer her phone.” Hello? Who is this?”
“You... Have you been drinking?” Lucas asked. “Oh, Mr. Newman...A... A little bit...” she muttered helplessly. Realizing she had too much to drink, he said, “Send me the address. I will go pick you up.” “Pick me up? It‘s okay, I will catch a taxi myself..” Anne felt like the world was spinning.
