Chapter 826

After Anne saw the police off, her morning was practically gone.

The police said that Mr. Walker kept refusing to tell them who the mastermind behind this was andkept saying he was greedy for money.

The others were even more clueless because Mr. Walker was their leader.

It was after lunch that she got to take a rest for a while,

Anne was thinking of how the police officer spoke haltingly to her before he left. He also told herthat since Mr. Walker admitted that it was his own doing, then she should just stop right there.Why did he say that?

Why was he still so stubborn after he was taken to the police station?

Anne wanted to laugh but that laughter was unusually cold.

What else could be the reason? It surely was because of Anthony. Bianca was his fiancee.

Mr. Walker could go to prison, but he absolutely would not dare to get his family involved.

In fact, she already knew this from the very beginning.

She could catch Mr. Walker, at best. As for Dorothy and Bianca, who were behind this, sheabsolutely could not do anything about them at all.

This was not the first time such a thing has happened anyway...

Therefore, when her phone rang and she saw that it was Anthony calling her, she immediately puther phone on the desk screen facing down and pretended that she did not see it.

Anne laid down on the couch and fell asleep.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, she felt her face itching and it was wet.

There was also snickering.

Anne opened her eyes in a blur and saw the magnified faces of the triplets in front of her. She couldnot help but smile and hug them. “Why did you come over?”

“I want to sleep with Mama!” Chloe climbed up the couch.

Charlie and Chris also found a spot on the couch and laid down hugging their Mama's legs.

Anne saw that they closed their eyes after laying down and looked so well-behaved, so she did notdisturb them.

Unexpectedly, they really were so well-behaved and they fell asleep.

Anne did not sleep well earlier and she was too lazy to move as well. With her children keeping heraccompanied, she slept even more soundly.

When Anthony came into the office, he saw the four people sleeping next to each other on thecouch.

He lifted his wrist to glance at the time. It was already way past three in the afternoon, yet they werestill sleeping.

His line of sight landed on the desk and saw the phone with the screen facing down.

Anthony's expression slightly darkened as he looked at Anne's face, who was fast asleep.

Anne seemed to have sensed danger in the air.

She showed signs of waking up.

She moved her leg a little and bumped into Chris.

She lifted her head and with bleary eyes, she saw the triplets next to her, and only then did sherecall that the children had come over.

Anne sat up and woke herself up.

She sensed that something was not right.

When she had that kind of awareness, the feeling that something was not right got more and moreintense.

Anne suddenly turned her head and saw Anthony, which she had no idea when he came, sitting onthe couch without any expression.

"Why are you here?” Anne was even more awake. Her expression was not too welcoming. She gotdown from the couch and put on her shoes.

"Why didn’t you pick up your phone?”

"I fell asleep.” Anne did not tell him what she had done deliberately.

The lesser the trouble, the better.

There was no point struggling when it came to Anthony.

It would only make her feel even more uncomfortable.

"With your phone on the desk screen facing down?” Anthony exposed her in a cold and terrifyingtone.

Only then Anne recalled her reaction after seeing Anthony's call.

She was just about to replace an excuse as quickly as possible when the triplets woke up one afteranother.

"Mama..."

"Did you have enough sleep?” As if she had found her saviors, Anne hurriedly turned her attentionto them.

in a natural manner.

“Mm-hmm...Papa?” Charlie's little face was in a daze and he looked adorable.

“Papa is here?” Chloe sat up but her eyes were still closed.

Chris called out in an adorable voice, “Papa.”

Anthony shot a cold glance at Anne, got up, walked over, sat down, and put Chloe on his lap. “Areyou not awake yet?”

Chloe opened her little mouth to yawn. She yawned so hard that her eyes were all teary. “...I've sleptenough...”
