Chapter 603

Xander welcomed her with open arms. "A plane crash is counted as a work injury, so we managed toput it under your hospitalization leaves. I'm glad to see you back.”

'..." She looked at him dazedly.

It was off enough for her to be paid for her time away, but it was ridiculous that they described herinjury as a work injury.

Naturally, she did not object as there was no reason for her to do so. Anthony was the one whocaused everything, so she would simply consider it a compensation from him.

Sarah was not pleased when she heard that Anne had gone back to work, and lectured Anne forover an hour when she went over to Sarah's house for dinner.

"I was going to stay the night here, but I might have to go home if you keep that up,” Anne said.Sarah bit her tongue and said, "Alright, alright. I won't say any more. I wonder who you got thattemper from.”

Anne stared at her pointedly.

"Not me. I'm not stubborn like you. Your Dad isn't like that either.”

"Then I guess I was just an orphan you picked up off the street.” Anne sat on the couch and leanedagainst the cushion.

Sarah chuckled, "It's not bad to pick up an orphan that looks so much like me.” She pulled at Anne'sarm. "When are you taking the kids here to visit me? I want to play with them.”

Anne's expression darkened. "I will need to check with Anthony about that.”

She did not know if Anthony would allow that if she mentioned that her father wanted to see thechildren.

'Am I to stay away from the children if he never allows me to?" Sarah said hopelessly.

i'll try my best..."

"By the way, why did Anthony agree to let you see them all of a sudden?"

"The kids bothered him until he ran out of options.”

Sarah came to a realization. "If the kids keep on asking to see their grandma, would that work?"

"Do you take Anthony for a fool?"

"Damn him. I just hate him so much!” Sarah said in frustration.

"It's fine. Let's take it slow for the kids’ sake. We can only compromise..." Anne had already given up.Sarah had no other options. She could recklessly try to get closer to the children, but then she would riskscaring the children.

Thankfully, Anne seemed a lot calmer than she was before, though she was surely still concerned under thesurface.

When Bianca officially became Mrs. Marwood and the children’s stepmother, the children would have tospend days and nights with their vicious step-mother and step-grandmother.

Her blood running cold from the thought, Sarah turned around to look at Anne who slummed on thecouch, a bold thought forming in her mind." Anne...”

Anne turned around and saw the hesitant look on Sarah's face. "What?" "Have you ever thoughtabout..replacing Bianca and marrying Anthony?"
