Chapter 1458

"No."

“Mama was already awake when we arrived.”

"We are talking to mama.”

The triplets explained themselves.

Anthony looked at Anne and said, “Let's have breakfast now.”

Anne lifted her duvet and got out of bed. “I will go and wash up now.”

It had been a long time since they last had breakfast together as a family.

Anne could feel her heart wrenching when they all sat together.

She was unsure whether it was because of the kids or it was because of other reasons.

Anthony even served some dishes to Anne's plate. Anne thought, “The only thing left that he did not do is feed it into my mouth.”

Just as she was thinking, he held a spoonful of eggs to her mouth.

“I will eat it myself...” Anne moved her head back and wanted to reach her hand out to grab it. Anthony avoided her and insisted on feeding her.

Anne wanted to decline, but the three kids were watching their interaction quietly by the side. She would have compromised before this, but now....

“I don't like it.” Anne turned her face away and looked down at her plate.

Anthony's hand paused, and then he withdrew it and took a bite himself.

She caught a glimpse of the disappointment in Anthony's eyes that disappeared within a split second.

There was no force, no tantrums, and nothing happened. He still continued to put things onto her plate.

Anne could not read his actions.

This was very much unlike the Anthony that she knew back then.

However, this was irrelevant to her now.

Then, his phone buzzed. It was a message.

Charlie heard it and said, “Papa, your phone buzzed.”

Anthony heard it but ignored it.

"Don’t bother.” Anthony did not even care to check it.

Anne's expression did not change at all as she fed Chloe some eggs.

“You can all stay home today and not go to school, to keep your mother company. We can go anywhere you want. Or pick a time, we will go into the ocean,” Anthony said.

“Yay!

“I want to go into the ocean!”

“I don't want to go to school!”

Anne said, “Next time please!”

"Why?" The three kids pouted in protest.

“Mama has something to do, I will only go after I settle it,” Anne said.

"Are you leaving?” Charlie asked.

“Mama don't go!”

"We don't let mama go!”

The kids then circled around their mother and refused to eat.

Anne patted their little heads and said, “I have my own things to settle...”

"Are things more important than us?”

"You are the most important, but I also have to finish my things before I can accompany you, right?” Anne explained patiently.

“No, if Mama leaves, you will not return again.” The triplets were not convinced.

They could not accept that their mother had left for so long and wanted to leave again after such a short time here.

Anne would definitely not stay here for long. “Fine, Mama will not leave for now.”

“That means you will still leave eventually!” The triplets were unwilling.

Anne had no choice and did not know what to say.

“Okay, finish your breakfast. Adults usually have their own matters to attend to. Mama will be back after she settles her things,” Anthony urged them.

Charlie said angrily, “What do you mean by adults having their own matters? Your matter made Mama go missing! I don't want that!”

Anne had been missing for two to three years, which was the longest that she had been away. The kids lost their sense of security and never trusted their own father again.

Anthony's gaze fell upon Anne's face and said, “Papa promise not to let Mama disappear again.” Anne looked up slightly. Her gaze shook slightly when she looked into Anthony's bottomless eyes. Why was he so confident? Was he still manipulating her like before?
