Chapter 982

Chapter 982

Provoked, Charlie clenched his fists. “Who said I can't? We can do it!"

Chris gaped at him.

“Very well. Copy ten chapters,” Anthony commanded, before leaving the study room.

As soon as he left, Chris asked with resignation, “Why did you say we can? We only know simple

words!"

"We just can!” Charlie grabbed the pen and started coping, but his words simply looked like

mysterious symbols.

“That looks ugly!” Chris commented.

Back in the room, Anthony spotted Anne sitting by the bed, possibly day-dreaming since she had

returned to the room..

"What's on your mind?” Anthony stood before her, his towering height intimidating.

She stood and stared at him dazedly. “Are you angry?”

"Good of you to notice.”

She stilled slightly at his response in confusion. “Why? Is it because...of the principal?”

"What did he say to you?”

"...What are you scared of him telling me?” She summoned the courage to question.

Anthony scowled and stiffened.

She bit her lower lip. “He didn’t say much...I used to send my children to his school. That's all.”

"Don’t get anywhere near him again,” Anthony commanded.

"Alright...I'l go get a shower.” Anne turned and headed into the bathroom.

She did not have the courage to confront him, after all. She was aware of the power imbalance

between her and Anthony and the fact that she did not matter much to Anthony, but only to the

children.

Considering her position, she should be grateful that she was allowed to live peacefully in the Royal

Mansion.

'Why must I want more?’ She thought. “Like asking him to fall in love with me..."

What Lucas said was enough to point out the issue of her relationship with Anthony.

Anthony loved Bianca and was still seeing her, whereas Anne was more of a person who Anthony

needed to look after the children, which was why Bianca continued to come between them even

after they got married.

Feeling as though something was pressing against her chest, she struggled to breath.

Anne realized that she loved Anthony to the point that her heart ached with his every move.

The door to the bathroom opened and Anthony walked inside.

She turned around and saw Anthony setting her pajamas onto the cabinet, before removing his own

clothes to join her in the shower.

“Anthony does this with Bianca too, right?” She thought. Maybe their interactions are even more

intimate than this. Am I just a liability to him?’

She felt extremely insecure whenever she wondered how long such a sense of liability would last.

She turned around and wrapped her arms around Anthony, closing her eyes and hoping that he

would anchor her in all her troubles.

"Don’t you know that it's dangerous for you to do this? Hm?" Anthony stroked her hair.

Anne tore her body away from his with a blush and turned around.

Anthony held her from behind, all the while trying to suppress his urges. “It's not time yet.”

Anne was not trying to seduce him, but instantly felt rejected and depressed, so she remained quiet.

At night, Anthony got out of bed after Anne fell asleep and headed into the bedroom to check on

Charlie and Chris

Anthony stared at the “words’ on the paper along with the drawings of two faces by the corner.

“What is this?”

“It might look ugly, but we copied it seriously!” Charlie said.

"Yeah! We worked hard!” Chris desperately wanted to stop as his hands felt exhausted.

Anthony knew from the beginning that they were not capable of copying so many chapters and

merely meant for this to be a punishment to warn them.

He tossed the papers onto the coffee table roughly before asking, “Will you go near Lucas Newman

ever again?”
