Chapter 1534

Lucas knew she was not willing to talk to him about it. After all, both of them had been separated

for so long.

However, he would still feel a slight discomfort deep down because of the distance between the two

of them.

“The children are already four now. They've grown much taller, haven't they?” Lucas changed the

topic.

Speaking of the children, Anne's expression was clearly much more relaxed. She took out her phone

and scrolled to a video. “Look.”

Lucas held the phone and played the video.

The four-year-old triplets have indeed grown later. They were no longer as chubby as before

anymore, but all of them looked good. They had excellent genes.

Even Lucas was envious.

Especially because the children were Anne's. Both of them originally could also have children

together...

After he finished watching the video, he handed the phone back to her with a gentle smile on his

face. “I wonder if they can still recognize Daddy if I meet them.”

“They will recognize you,” said Anne, then she asked, “do you want to meet them?”

“Forget it. I won't be able to bring myself to leave after that,” said Lucas in a considerate

manner.

Anne felt relieved. She selfishly did not wish for him and the children to meet as well.

After all, if Anthony were to find out, she would not be able to explain to him.

"Are your parents alright?” Anne asked with concern.

“They're great. My father is also in the education business now, so he has been kept busy,”

said Lucas.

Anne lowered her gaze. She felt that she has indeed wronged too many people in this life.

Both her mothers, her father, the children...as well as Lucas.

“Would you still want it if the Pinnacle Academy could be returned to you now?”

Lucas was slightly stunned, and he just looked at her.

Anne said, “I mentioned this to Anthony in the past, and he has agreed.”

“The condition is that you and I can never be close, right?” Lucas smiled. His expression

looked cold. “No need. I despise everything that he does.”

Anne understood Lucas’ feelings. She had deeply experienced that kind of despair in the past, much

less Lucas...

“I'm sorry..." She was apologetic.

“It has nothing to do with you. You're also a victim. There are plenty of victims who have been

oppressed by Anthony.” Lucas was speaking the truth.

Anne had no way to refute him.

“Are you prepared to stay like that by Anthony's side for the rest of your life?” Asked Lucas. His gaze

was so focused as if he wanted to look into Anne's soul.

Anne smiled helplessly. That was her giving in to fate. “He and I were already legally married two

years ago. That won't change.”

“So you're going to live in misery?”

Anne wondered if it was miserable.

It certainly was a misery, was it not? Anthony's every single action was affecting her sensitivity,

leaving her at a loss...

Just when she wanted to disagree with Lucas, her phone on the table rang.

The screen lit up, and it was shown that it was Anthony who was calling.

An ambiguous coldness appeared on Lucas’ face when he saw it.

“Excuse me. I'm going to get his.” Anne grabbed her phone, got up, and answered the phone at the

side, “Hello.”

"Where are you?”

“I'm strolling around outside. I'll go back soon.”

“It's very quiet on your end.” Anthony's deep voice was filled with suspicion.

“I got tired from walking, so I grabbed a cup of coffee at a cafe.”

“Alone?”

“Mm-hmm. I'll go back now.” Anne did not tell him the truth. She felt that it was better to have less

trouble.

"Wait for me there. I'll go pick you up.”

“No need...” Before Anne finished her sentence, the call was forcibly ended by Anthony.

She returned to the table, and she was thinking about how she should tell Lucas that Anthony

would be coming later.
