Chapter 1144

Anne saw that it was Mia and said, “I'm about to go in. Are you on duty?”

"Yes. After Mr. Marwood came out of his study, he went back to his room,” Mia said.

"What time did he get back to the room?” Anne pushed open the door and went in.

"Around eight-thirty.”

It had been more than an hour so far.

Anne bit the bullet, opened the door, and went in.

Mia looked at the closed door, and the trace of respect in her eyes disappeared.

She could tell that there was something wrong with Mr. Marwood and Anne

Otherwise, why would Anne stand at the door and not go in for a long time? She seemed very nervous.

Anne entered the bedroom, and Anthony was sitting on the sofa, wearing pajamas, obviously just exiting the shower.

He propped his forehead with one hand and closed his eyes tightly as if he did not know that she had entered the bedroom.

She walked over. “Go to bed if you're sleepy?”

Anthony opened his dark eyes. His eyes were deep and clear, without any trace of falling asleep. He raised his gaze, sharp and oppressive. “I thought you weren't going to come back.

Anne's heart tightened when she heard this. “Where will I sleep if I don't come back? I'm going to take a shower...”

She went to the cloakroom to get her pajamas and went into the bathroom.

Anne felt less stressed when taking a shower.

Anthony finished washing, so he would not go into the bathroom again.

After taking a shower, she dried her hair and left the bathroom.

Anthony was already on the bed, with one hand resting on the back of his head, and his eyes were closed.

However, he was definitely not asleep.

Anne's bath time was not short, nor was it long.

She went to the other side, lifted the quilt, and got on the bed.

As soon as she lay down, the lights in the bedroom began to dim.

"What are you doing so far away from me? Are you afraid that I will eat you?” Anthony's voice was low and filled with many uncertainties.

“No...” Anne moved toward Anthony.

Her body touched Anthony.

Three seconds later, Anthony put down the hand under his head, turned around, and hugged Anne. Anne was startled, but it was not too obvious on her face.

However, the hand on her waist must have felt the stiffness of her body.

"Nervous?"

“It's late. Go to bed,” Anne said.

"You, too, know it's late?” Anthony's voice was low and depressed.

Anne's heart beat wildly when she met his deep and calm black eyes. She felt that Anthony was about to tear her apart.

Thinking of the injury that had happened before, her body trembled slightly.

“Don’t you know I'm waiting for you in the room?”

“I... thought you were in the study. Besides, I didn't do anything. I was with the children. I came over as soon as they fell asleep.”

"How long have you been standing outside the door?”

Anne froze. He knew...

"After meeting other men, you started to have your guard up against me?” Anthony rubbed his fingertips on her chin, and there was a trace of irritability in his black eyes. 1 “What are you talking about?” Anne was so frightened that she could not lie down anymore. She rolled over to escape, lifted the quilt out of bed, stood by the bed, and looked at Anthony. “What on earth do you want me to do? There is nothing between Lucas and I..."

“Don’t let me hear his name from your mouth again!” Anthony roared, and the

threatening voice exploded suddenly.

Anne's scalp went numb, and her legs felt weak, as she took two steps back.

“I... I won't mention him again. Can you calm down?"
