“I’m heading there soon,” Anthony said, reaching out to stroke Lyra’s cheek.

Adrian watched him and felt a quiet sense of relief. When he’d first met Anthony, Anthony never cracked a smile. Hell, he barely said a word. But having the twins had softened something in him–chipped away at that cold, distant exterior.
Daisy had mentioned recently that Anthony was the same man who’d helped them overseas years ago. Adrian had been stunned. Then there was the time she’d had heatstroke–that brief encounter at the hospital. He’d only caught a glimpse of Anthony, but he’d felt like he’d seen him somewhere before.
Maybe it was fate all along.
“She’s not giving you a hard time, is she?” Adrian asked suddenly.
Anthony blinked at him. The way Adrian asked sounded like a parent checking in on their kid. Like if Anthony said yes, Daisy would be in for an earful tonight.
Daisy sidled up to Anthony, looped her arm through his, and looked up at him. “Am I?”
Anthony looked down at her hands on his arm, then at her pursed lips. Her expression clearly said, “You’d better answer that right.”
He laughed.
Adrian clicked his tongue and shot Daisy a warning glare. “Watch your attitude!”
Anthony just smiled and said nothing.
Daisy looked smugly at her father.
Adrian started to say something else, but then he saw Anthony still smiling at her, and the words died in his throat. “Fine. Get out of here before the babies start crying.”
Daisy had told him on the way over that she was going to the office with Anthony today.
Lyra and Luna were mostly on formula now. Daisy couldn’t produce enough milk; it was a few bottles of formula for every nursing session. So she finally had some free time. She hadn’t felt this relaxed in ages.
And the twins didn’t really cling to her anyway. They wanted Anthony.
She’d talked to them all through her pregnancy. Anthony mostly just slept with his head on her belly. So why were they so attached to him now?
The second they heard his voice, they calmed right down. Little traitors,
Daisy got in the car with Anthony.
She’d never really been to his office. She’d only stopped by a few times for work. But today, she was going as the boss’s wife. The thought made her smile.

Chapter 697 The Office
“Something funny?” Anthony glanced at her as he drove.

“I was wondering if I wanted to eat at Rhapsody Hall every day and stay in a presidential suite every night, would you have a problem with that?”
Anthony chuckled, “As long as you take me with you.”
Daisy laughed.
She’d been bored at home a couple of days ago and had flipped through the engagement gifts Anthony had given her. Buried in that stack of documents, along with hotel shares, were the deeds to Rhapsody Hall
Turns out that was his too.
Daisy suddenly felt like she’d latched onto a big shot.
How lucky was that?
She’d shown up with two kids, thinking they’d just muddle through a loveless marriage. And he’d bet
everything he had on her.
Anthony parked in t
So was Lydia.
front of Westperch Group. Thomas was waiting at the entrance.
Anthony’s expression went cold.
Lydia didn’t look surprised to see Daisy get out of the passenger seat.
But when she looked at Anthony’s face, that unfamiliar, healed face, she realized she shouldn’t have come.
Logan had made her. He’d said to give it a shot.
She’d been waiting since dawn–six in the morning, the streets still thick with fog. She hadn’t left.
She’d asked Thomas. Thomas hadn’t wanted to tell her anything, but since he wasn’t sure Anthony would even show, he’d said there was a meeting today and Anthony might come. No guarantees.
Before Daisy, Anthony had never been late. He’d been a man of precision.
Now, his schedule was a mess. No one knew when he’d show up. The people in his meetings just worked while they waited. They’d gotten used to it.
Lydia had no choice but to wait.
Last night at her birthday party, Logan had made a fuss about the flower colors and got into it with Grace. Joseph had stepped in. Anthony had heard it all from the hallway.
