But if Anthony asked anything, Maria didn't know how she would explain. Fortunately, he didn't ask.

“There's no rush to see the Smith family. You can take a shower and have some rest first," Anthony suggested, straightening up and shoving one hand into his pocket.

He was completely relaxed, unlike Bill and Vivian who couldn't wait to meet Mathias and claim kinship.

"I'm not sleepy..."

Maria had no sooner uttered those words than she had a blackout.

She was once again struck by a narcolepsy attack.

Fortunately, Anthony strode forward swiftly as she fell, catching her in his arms and letting her lean against his chest.

Anthony's strong chest was like a firm but comfortable pillow that wouldn't wake Maria up from her slumber right away.

Holding Maria in his arms, Anthony carefully walked over to the bed and helped her Lay down there.

The feeling of her back hitting the soft mattress evoked a soft sigh from Maria's Lips.

“How dare you refuse me to accompany you to Broome?" Anthony bent down and whispered teasingly in her ear.

Maria was fast asleep, and did not respond.

She just turned over a little, causing her lips to almost bump into Anthony's.

Anthony subconsciously pulled away, but when he realized that he had dodged a kiss from Maria, he frowned.

He straightened up and continued sitting next to Maria for a while to make sure that she was getting a good rest.

“I will repay all that the Wilson family owes you. But you have to do the same for what you owe me.”

ALL of a sudden, Anthony uttered these inexplicable words, and then got up and quietly walked out of the room.

On the first floor of the villa, the housekeeper from Broome and the bodyguard Jack, who had arrived here in advance, were waiting for Anthony for a long time.

“You two, take care of the housework and security here. I have to go to the Smith family's house now. If Maria wakes up before I'm back, you must somehow persuade her to wait for me here. Don't let her leave."

As Anthony gave these instructions, the middle-aged housekeeper nodded in acknowledgment. She was as professional as Jack was.
