Chapter 289

Lucas wrapped his arm around the three of them. "Have you missed me?"

"We have!"

"Here are your gifts," Lucas said as the driver behind him brought bags of souvenirs into the living room.

The triplets cheered and ran over.

"Why did you come home so early? Is everything settled?” Anne asked.

"Yeah, nothing of import left to deal with," Lucas said. "I should have told you, but I wanted to surprise you."

She chuckled, "Consider me surprised. Is Tommy back as well?"

"No. He is the boss, so he won't oe back so soon." He studied her face and asked, "are you ill? You don't look so well."

She touched her face and said, "Really? I don't feel anything.”

Her body had been traumatized only five days ago, so she wouldn't be able to recover so soon after the surgery.

"Have you eaten? Why don't I cook something for you?" She changed the subject.

"I ate on the plane, so I''m good. I'll stay for a while and go home later.”

Charlie received a beautiful toy knife, Chloe received a limited- edition doll, while Chris was given a laptop for children.

Their eyes lit up in joy. "Thank you, Daddy!"

Anne was shocked. "The gifts you bought are too expensive!”

"It's alright as long as the kids like it." Lucas did not seem to mind.

Anne walked him down when he left and when they reached the fifth floor, he said, "II's fine. Go home and rest."

She did not insist. "Okay Why don't you come by for dinner tomorrow? I will prepare something." Lucas pulled out a black velvet box out of thin air.

"What's that?"

"The kids got their gifts. Even the nanny received something, so why wouldn't you have a gift of your own?" He chuckled gently.

Anne accepted the box and opened it to find a gold necklace inside, it was not something of a luxury brand, but she knew that it must have been expensive as well. Anne knew that Lucas must have considered for a long time before settling on this necklace and refusing it would be Hide. "Thank you," she said.

Lucas held back on the urge to wrap his arms around her. At the moment, he felt like he was finally breathing. He had always been careful, so he had never imagined that he would be like an excited teen in front of the woman he liked.

"Rest well," he said, before turning to leave.

Anne wanted to say something else, but held back and watched as he disappeared into the distance.

Lucas had just returned home, so she decided to wait until tomorrow.

The next day, instead of eating at home, Lucas had suggested that they dine at a clubhouse in the outskirts which was more private, so that they could take the children and the nanny with them. Naturally, Anne had no problem with the suggestion. Though she

had offered to cook for him, It had been a while since she last cooked a projirr meal and she was not sure If she could manage, on * the other hand, she could tell that Lucas simply wanted her to relax.

The clubhouse was located In the outskirts In a quiet area and Liras told them that everyone who wanted to dine there would need to make a reservation ahead of time.

There was no lobby and only rooms.

The menu was tailor made for everyone and the only limit was one's imagination.

The price was comparatively cheaper than restaurants in the city, costing only one third of the price of the food one would find in the city.

The triplets were overjoyed as they rarely had the chance to dine outside.

Charlie waved his new toy knife around inside the room and Anne stopped him. "Why did you bring your knife outside? Don't come crying if you lose it.” "I brought it to protect you guys!” Charlie said fiercely, and the others burst into laughter.
