Chapter 102
Chapter 102 Anne did not argue with her. As she had anticipated, the people standing behind Anthony back when she ran into him at the restaurant were the family members of Michelle. However, it had nothing to do with her. If Michelle could find a way to make Anthony give up on Anne, that would be the best. “Don‘t think that stealing my phone is enough to hide your intentions. One day, I will let everyone know that you are a homewrecker!” Michelle warned, before storming out.
Anne leaned against the cabinet helplessly. She had enemies everywhere and she felt like a puppet on strings every single day.
Ever since she arrived in Luton, her job and the people she ran into all felt like a play that someone else wrote. She was not allowed to have her own opinion, nor could she run, and she was left with living day after day in confinement.
The only relief was that she found out her mother was alive and she had her mother‘s support. She had three adorable children and a loving mother, so there was still joy in her life.
Suddenly, her phone rang. It was a call from Cheyenne.
“What is it, Mom?”
“Anne, I passed the interview. I can work at the school canteen now!” Cheyenne was overjoyed.
“Is it hard?” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“Not at all. I need to cook when I‘m at home anyway. This way, I can be closer to the kids and go home with them after school. I can make a living and look after them at the same time.”
Anne saw no reason to say anything else since Cheyenne seemed content. “Just be careful not to exhaust yourself. I make enough money to pay for your living expenses.” Cheyenne was moved. “With those words, I can die happily now.”
“What are you talking about? Don‘t say things like that,” Anne said.
“Alright, alright. I don‘t have many happy memories from back then, so I‘m content right now. I‘m happy as long as you and the kids are happy and healthy.”
“Same goes for me, Mom.” Tears welled up in Anne‘s eyes. So long as she had her mother and her children, she was content.
Anne felt much better after ending the call. After all, the love of one‘s family was the cure to everything
Cheyenne started working at the school and was more motivated as days passed. She would often go to see the children when she was free and chuckle when she saw how happy her grandchildren were in class. She had never given birth to her own child her whole life, but Cheyenne had always treated Anne as her own daughter. Her heart melted at the thought that she now had three grandchildren, and it did not seem to matter that they were not hers by blood.
Cheyenne felt hopeful for the days to come.
At half past five in the evening, she stepped into the classroom and there were a few other children apart from the triplets that had yet to be picked up from school.
The triplets called her ‘Grandma‘ and the other children followed their lead
Chevenne couldn‘t help but laugh when she heard all the sweet, innocent voices calling her‘ Grandma‘. She took Chloe‘s hand and said, “Look at you all. You are drenched in sweat.”
Chloe and Chris were alright, but Charlie was the more active one of the three and his whole head was covered in sweat.
Cheyenne took out some tissue paper and handed it to him. “Are we going home now?”
The triplets waved their goodbyes at their classmates and left with her. They stepped out of the school and were about to catch a taxi, when Cheyenne heard a familiar voice.
“So you work here! I‘ve been looking for you everywhere.” Cheyenne‘s heart stopped the moment she saw Sarah, her hands started trembling as she began to panic.
