Chapter 1340
Mia brought over a cup of health tea.
Bianca asked her not to add the drug, but she refused to listen and kept adding it.
Bianca wanted to be Mrs. Marwood, did she not?
When Bianca left, just like Anne, she would have a chance.
She raised her hand and knocked on the door.
A roar came from inside. “Get out!”
Mia was so frightened that her hands shook and almost knocked over the teacup on the tray.
Afraid to anger him further, she left in fear.
The triplets were causing a commotion in the room, insisting on running away from home to find Mama, which was exhausting for Hayden.
Fortunately, other maids were helping him, or else he would not have been able to handle it alone.
The children did not fall asleep until midnight, exhausted.
Based on what they said while crying, Hayden probably figured out the reason.
He was unsure why Mr. and Mrs. Marwood had become like this.
They used to be a very happy family.
In his eyes, Mr. Marwood was too controlling and always wanted to completely dominate Mrs. Marwood, not giving her any breathing space.
The more he did so, the more Mrs. Marwood wanted to run away.
He did not even care about the kids…
Joanne watched as Lucas descended the stairs and asked, “Aren’t you going out today?”
It was already nine o’clock.
Usually, he had to leave by seven.
“I’m going to see Anne, and then I will be back for dinner,” Lucas said.
Joanne became nervous again when she thought of something. “Don’t go!”
Lucas looked at the hand holding his arm and asked, “Didn’t you and Dad accept Anne already?”
Joanne gradually loosened her grip, hiding her thoughts. “I accept her, but aren’t you busy with work? You should rest more.”
“It’s just as good to rest there as it is here,” Lucas said, then turned and returned to the study.
Joanne followed him and watched as Lucas opened the bookshelf cabinet, revealing a secret passage inside. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Lucas walked in, and the bookshelf cabinet slowly closed, returning to its normal appearance.
No one could tell that there was a hidden passage inside.
“He’s gone?” Eason came over and asked.
“Since Anthony agreed, he probably won’t do anything to Lucas.” Joanne was worried.
She then went to call Anthony.
Lucas left the house from a different street, drove out of the yard, and headed to his destination.
Even though he was unlikely to be discovered, he still took extra precautions and checked the rearview mirror regularly in case he was being followed.
He looked all around and saw nothing out of place.
After taking some detours, he arrived at the small house where Anne was staying.
Anne had nothing to do in the morning and went to the beach.
Sitting on the beach, looking at the distant sea, her mood was as calm as the seawater.
As she was lost in thought, a ship seemed to be approaching in the distance.
She could not help but stand up nervously and hide behind a large rock.
The boat was getting closer, and it appeared to be a yacht.
It was coming straight to the beach.
Why was there a yacht here? Thinking about what Lucas had said before, did Lucas drive the yacht over?
While wondering, she heard a voice behind her. “Anne.”
Anne turned her head and saw Lucas standing behind her. She asked him, “Is the yacht yours?”
“Do you like it?” Lucas asked, the light reflecting off his eyeglass lenses and creating a beautiful effect.
Anne asked uncertainty, “Are we really going to sea?”
