Chapter 72 “Ah!” Anne was thrown on the leather seat, feeling dizzy.
llYou will come to me whenever I tell you to. Is that clear?” The shadow pressed down on her.
Anne was terrified when she smelled the strong scent of danger on Anthony‘s body. “What are you doing?” “Why do you ask when you already know the answer?”
“No...” Anne could not expect him to be in the car in person. The driver was also there.
Anthony glanced at the driver in front of him and said, “Cleve.”
The driver, Cleve, got out of the car immediately, closed the door, and walked across the road.
Anne bit her lip and closed her eyes in humiliation.
She knew very well that Anthony would not let her go for the time being.
What about the children left in the house?
Please don‘t let him find out!‘
Anne opened her eyes, raised her upper body, climbed onto Anthony‘s broad shoulders, and kissed his thin lips forcefully.
Anthony‘s black eyes were stunned for a while, and then he took control of the situation. His thin lips pressed back, and he grinned. “Someone is being proactive.” Anne knew that her thoughts were seen through by him. “What did I do wrong? I just hope you don‘t make me suffer too much...”
When she got out of the car, he heard a low and intimidating voice just as the door was about to close. “Don‘t forget to take your medicine.”
Anne‘s expression froze, and then she asked tentatively, “...What if I‘m pregnant?”
“You will face death then.”
Anne said nothing and walked into the community without looking back. The windows are ajar. Soon, all the smell in the car dissipated. With a cigarette in his hand, Anthony tilted his face slightly, staring at the slender figure with a pair of eagle–like black eyes.
He would not allow her to live a comfortable life. He was not in a hurry, though. He still had a lot of time...
Cleve got into the car. “Mr. Marwood, are you leaving now?”
“Yeah.” Anthony threw the cigarette that he only took two puffs of out of the window.
Anne cursed in her heart as she climbed the stairs. This man was simply sick!
She had to buy her own contraceptive medicine!
It might have side effects, but she did not want to get pregnant!
Anthony‘s words terrified her. Having a child would be equivalent to courting death. What if she had already given birth to a child?
Fortunately, he did not find anything unusual with her tonight!
Back at the house, she saw the children reading a picture book in the living room, and her heart relaxed.
The kids ran over and asked, “Mama, where‘s Grandma?”
“Grandma has something to do elsewhere. She will come back sometime later.” Anne looked at her lovely children. This was her only weakness, and she vowed to protect them.
Anne stayed there at night.
At seven or eight o‘clock in bed, Chloe asked, “Mama, what does Papa look like? Does he look like us?” All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
Anne glanced at the faces of her kids and said, “No, you guys look more like Mama...”
“Does Mama have any photos of Paba?” Charlie asked. “I want to see photos...” Chris said. Anne did not have any photos of Anthony, but the children would definitely protest if she could not get them.
The children were already asking about Paba, but they were just two years old! They would definitely ask more when they were older.
“When Mama is free, I‘ll look for your father‘s photo.” Anne patted their little heads. “Go to sleep. Mama is here to accompany you.”
“Mama hasn‘t accompanied us to sleep for a long time!” Chloe burrowed into her Mama‘s arms.
Anne felt melancholic as she watched the three little kids cuddle up to her chest.
Yes, it has been a long time...
Even when the children had fallen asleep, Anne still could not sleep.
There was still no news from Cheyenne. How could she sleep in peace? Besides, Anthony had not appeared today just to make out with her.
He was sending her a message that even without a tracker, he could still know her whereabouts.
As long as he wanted to.
Anne was in a daze all night. When she opened her eyes, it was not yet dawn, and the children in her arms slept soundly.
She got out of bed and walked to Cheyenne‘s room.. The bed was still neat and untouched.
The more Anne thought about it, the more chaotic her heart became. Even if Cheyenne sted to go out to work, there was no reason she could not answer the phone, right?
If something happened, should she just wait like this? Anne wanted to call the police immediately.
Her phone rang before the emergency call was dialed.
Seeing that it was Cheyenne‘s call, Anne breathed a sigh of relief and answered, “Mom, why haven‘t you answered my call? I‘m so anxious! Where are you?”
“Are you Cheyenne‘s daughter?”
Anne was taken aback and asked, “You are...”
“I am from the police station. Your mother is suspected of murder. Now that the evidence is conclusive, we will arrest her. You are her daughter, and you should have the right to know.”
“What... what? Did you make a mistake? How could my mother kill someone?” Anne could not believe it. That was absurd. “The police don‘t make mistakes.”
After sending the three children to school, Anne hurried to the police station by taxi. She found the police officer in charge of the case.
This was what the police told her, “Cheyenne turned herself in and said she killed your father, Francis. We went to the crime scene and found his bones in the deep pit at the foot of Antipodal Mountain. A DNA test has been done, and it is confirmed that the owner of the bones is Francis.”
Anne‘s eyes were tearing up, and she looked at the police absently.
“Aren‘t you in contact with your father? Didn‘t you notice Francis‘s disappearance? Or did you cover up for the criminal?” The police began to question her.
“I....” Anne was almost speechless. She had not contacted Francis ever since she entered the Marwood family.
Francis always came to ask her for money. She was just a child and had no money. He will not let go of the pocket money given by his aunt.
“My dad was a gambler, drank alcohol, and was very irresponsible as a father. My mother could not stand him and left. I was picked up by my aunt later. He asked me a few times for money. I didn‘t have any, so he stopped asking me. I contacted him after that but to no avail... I did not know what had happened to him. I thought he went gambling again.”
