Chapter 679
Lucas studied her face gently and thought to himself, 'But will I be a part of your future?'
He knew better than to voice it out as it would only pressure Anne.
Sarah sat down in the cafe and stared outside the window as she sipped on her coffee.
She spotted Anne walking over, but Lucas was nowhere to be seen. Before Anne could even take her seat, Sarah asked hastily, "So? What did you two talk about?"
"Why are you so nosy?" Anne propped her chin in her palm.
"Did he come all the way here because he knew you were here?"
"What are you thinking about?" Amazed by her mother's wild imagination.' He already said that he's here for work."
"How long will he be staying?"
"Another two days."
"That's great. We aren't going back anytime soon. Call him out tonight or tomorrow for a meal."
"That's not really necessary, is it?" Anne did not want to be too close to Lucas.
"Don’t be rude! Think about how kind he has been to you. He helped you hide the children and allowed them to receive early education at his school. Have you ever bought him dinner for once?"
Anne was rendered speechless as she had not done so since she was too poor.
"Is that really what you have in mind? Mom, let me tell you this: I rejected Lucas right from the beginning because of Anthony. Anthony would never let me live my life, so what's the point of dragging Lucas into it?" Anne said.
She did not want to be the horrible woman who slept with Anthony while flirting with Lucas at the same time.
Exposed of her true intention, Sarah cut to the chase. "If Anthony is out of the picture, you two can be together. You can get married and give birth to more babies. You will have a happy life!"
"There's no ifs," Anne said.
"I'm so annoyed by this." Sarah sipped on her coffee to suppress her anger.
"Don't be. I'm used to it by now."
"If not Lucas, then just marry Anthony!" Sarah said, "Like I've suggested before."
"This isn't a multiple-choice question!"
"If you aren't dead set on being with Lucas, you might as well marry Anthony. Anthony is rich and powerful, and he has your kids. Are you looking fortrue love? Listen to me. That crap is not worth it!" Sarah lectured.
Anne stared outside the window and said with determination, "Impossible.
I will never obey him like I did in the past."
Anthony had shoved her and slapped her on the face for Bianca's sake, and all that he had done had only driven her further away.
Sarah knew what Anthony had done in the past and did not have the heart to continue.
She knew that Anthony was not a good man, but they were all stuck in the current situation with no hope of finding a way out. Even if they tried, they would only end up in tears and blood.
