However, it was fortunate that her goal seemed to be half accomplished!
A twisted and vicious smile appeared in Lucia’s eyes.
The Rolls Loyce outside was waiting for her. When the bodyguard saw Anne coming, he opened the car door. Anne got in the car and left the mansion.
The car was driving on the road at a steady speed. Anne sat by the window and looked at the scenery outside that was going backward quickly. Her mind was blank as she lost the ability to think.
However, she only spaced out for a brief moment before she felt a sense of tightness on her hand, Anthony held her hand in his palm.
“What are you thinking about?”
Anne turned her face over, and she met Anthony’s black eyes and felt the strength of the hand that was holding her hand tightly, she wondered if he was feeling nervous.
“Nothing. I believe this matter will be resolved,” she said.
Anthony exerted a little bit of force with his hand and pulled her over to make her sit on his lap and sink into his arms. His voice was deep and husky. “Mm–hmm. I’m here. Don’t worry.” Anne rested her face on his solid chest and closed her eyes. She looked obedient. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Corentin and Ashlynn returned to Athetin after dinner. Tommy was still no were to be found. The assassin who attacked that day, included, seemed to have suddenly vanished into thin air.
Lucia stayed in her mansion and accepted treatments there.
Anne would always feel uncomfortable after every time she went over.
That was because the mansion was given to Lucia by Anthony. Lucia’s occasional ‘slip of the tongue‘ kept reminding her that Anthony used to have a different kind of relationship with another woman.
At the bottom of it all, she did mind it. She was just doing her best to let herself not mind it
After all, it was herself who had chosen to stay…
Anne was wandering on the street by herself. She actually hoped that Tommy would suddenly appear before her face. If this problem could be resolved sooner, she would be able to pluck off this thorn in her side.
“Anne?”
Anne was slightly dazed when she heard that familiar voice.
She suspected she had heard it wrong. When she turned around and saw the man looking at her not far away from her, she was stunned.
“It really is you. I thought I’d mistaken you for someone else.” Lucas walked over and stood in front of her.
His tall figure was still so elegant and gentle, which made her feel comfortable from the bottom of her heart.
It was just that Anne had never expected that she could still meet Lucas again. “What’s the matter? You don’t know me anymore?” Lucas asked and chuckled.
“No. Why…are you here?” Anne calmed herself down. She was surprised.
“I’m preparing to start an educational institution here. My partner thought since this is my hometown, it’s better for me to come and check the place out. I happened to be free, so I just walked around. I didn’t expect to see you,” said Lucas, then he asked, “shall we find a place to grab a cup of coffee?”
Anne also felt that it was not quite suitable for them to talk while standing in the middle of the street, so she nodded. “Alright.”
Both of them found a cafe, and they picked a spot in the corner as if they were deliberately distancing themselves away from the noisy customer.
However, they did not pick a private room.
Perhaps that showed her relationship with Lucas at that moment. They were not far apart but also not close either.
“How long will you be staying in Luton?” asked Anne.
“It depends. It’ll be a couple of days if everything goes smoothly.” Lucas was focused on Anne’s expression while talking to her. “I’ve not seen you in two years. You seemed to have changed.”
Anne smiled and subconsciously touched her face. “I can’t be that young
forever…”
“Your appearance is still exactly the same as before. There are no changes to that. What changed is your gaze. You seem to have something troubling you.” Lucas was worried. “Is he not good to you?”
“No. It’s quite good to me.” Anne was thinking that she was indeed troubled by Tianya and also Lucia’s condition, but was it that obvious?
