Chapter 984
“Two days, at most.”
Anne pursed her lips and held her breath.
The next day, Anthony headed to Athetin in the morning while Anne remained in the Royal Mansion.
News of Bianca’s piano performance in Athetin had been announced the same afternoon and Bianca was spotted in hotel in Athetin.
Anne sat by the grass field with her children and started sobbing all of a sudden.
She lowered her head in an attempt to hide her tears from others‘ eyes.
‘Anthony is in Athetin, and so is Bianca,‘ she thought, ‘ are they together?‘
Every breath she drew through her quivering lips felt depressing. Through her tears, she saw the wedding band on her finger and the more she stared at it, the more it hurt.
At night, she laid alone in bed when her phone rang.
It was a call from Anthony, so she answered it and muttered, “Anthony…”
“Are you asleep?”
“Not yet…are you done with work?” Anne asked.
“Almost. I’ll go home tomorrow. Miss me?” Anthony asked in a husky voice.
Anne felt chills running down her spine and hummed in response.
Anthony fell into silence.
“Anthony…”
Before Anne could finish, Anthony interrupted her. Hang on. Something happened. I’ll call you back later.”
He then proceeded to hang up before Anne could respond.
“Let’s have lunch later, then?” Anthony asked.
“Sure. I’ll arrange it.”
After the simple exchange, the call ended.
“Was that Corentin?” Ivan asked.
“Yeah.”
“Do we need to send more men?”
“You will keep an eye on him,” Anthony said, hinting that there was no need to send more men.
Anthony and Corentin had only met in person briefly before and were hardly acquaintances. However, Corentin was Anne’s uncle and was actively working with Nigel’s company, so Anthony saw the need to know this man.
Corentin arranged the venue and reserved the entire restaurant, leaving no one in the hall apart from the waiters.
