Chapter 1481
Anne lowered her gaze as Anthony’s scent overwhelmed her, occupying her mind. Her mind fell into chaos, but she knew that she could not stay, nor could she allow Anthony to think that she would return to him.
Just then, the airport announced that boarding had started and Anne sobered, before shoving Anthony aside. “I’m going.” She walked past him and since there was no need for VIPs to get in line, she went onboard straightaway.
As she passed the security check, she could sense Anthony’s eyes on her, but she refused
to look back.
Anthony did not come aboard and she sat blankly by the window, feeling devastated, yet not knowing why.
She had no future with Anthony and though she thought that they stood a chance before, the thought vanished as soon as she learnt about Lucia.
She could not be certain that Anthony was not following her until the flight took off and she closed her eyes, feeling both relieved and depressed at the same time.
The flight took ten hours and she arrived at night. Anne called Yuri as soon as she landed. Where are you?”
“At home. You came back?”
“Yea. I’ve stayed long enough over there. I need my own life,” Anne said as she caught a taxi, all the while telling herself that she was right for thinking that Anthony had no place in her life, as all they had between them were the triplets.
“I’m cooking. Come over,” Yuri said.
“I just got into a taxi. It’s an hour’s drive away from your place, so you should start without
me.”
“I’m not that hungry, anyway. You should arrive before I finish the movie I’m watching now.”
“Why would you think that? I might be delayed, but I will always come back,” Anne said sincerely, determined to not leave Yuri behind. “Yuri, do you want to come with me?”
Yuri did not seem interested. “Why should I go back? I’ve lived here since I was little and I don’t think I can adjust.”
“But it’s dangerous here. I thought you wanted an ordinary life?”
Yuri remained silent.
Anne placed her hand on top of Yuri’s. “Trust me. I will have everything arranged. I have a mansion over there that belonged to my mom, an apartment my dad bought for me and my aunt-in-law’s house as well. You have plenty of choices when it comes to where to stay. It’s easy, too, if you want to work.”
Yuri wavered slightly, still feeling wary as she had never relied on anyone in her life. The only reason she became an assassin was because it was the only way she could make
ends meet.
