The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin)

Chapter 944 I won't come back for the time being

Lyra kissed his lips, and said in a delicate tone, "Don't I care about you enough? It made Spencer and Molly jealous, and I always feel that I don't care enough for them." Mentioning this made Lyra a little sad.

Malcolm noticed her strange mood and hurriedly comforted her. "I'm sorry, babe. I shouldn't have said sarcastic words."

Lyra said, "It has nothing to do with you. I have been busy with work and lacked concern for our kids. Now I am thinking about how to make up for it."

Hearing this, Malcolm took her hand and let her sit on the sofa, trying to solving this problem.

"I can't blame you for this, but if you want to make amends, there is still time."

Lyra raised her eyes curiously, "What can I do?"

"In Molly's winter training camp, parents can visit their children. We can go together. And, in Spencer's Math Olympiad competition, we can also accompany him to participate. What do you think?" Lyra nodded upon hearing the words. "Unexpectedly, you have already thought about it."

"Of course, I know my wife's emotions best."

Malcolm seemed a little smug.

Although Lyra spoke with disdain, she was very satisfied with Malcolm's arrangement.

At first, she was a little undecided, and didn't want to show her caring for the children too abruptly. Now, it was thanks to Malcolm.

"Honey, I did you a favor. Why don't you reward me?"

He started to claim credit.

Lyra frowned and asked, "Whatever you want, just say it."

"I want--"

As Malcolm said, his eyes fell on Lyra's soft red lips, which could not be more obvious.

Lyra felt that something was wrong, and wanted to run quickly, but Malcolm was faster than her, so he directly picked her up and put her under him...

His breath rushed over, and Lyra secretly complained.

...

Lyra was still in bed when Mavis called early the next morning.

Hearing the movement on the other end of the phone, Mavis froze for a moment, feeling strange. "Lyra, what's wrong? This is not in line with the status as a model worker. Why did you sleep so late today? Are you sick?"

Lyra cursed Malcolm in her heart and couldn't use her strength.

She cheered up and talked to Mavis. "I'm not sick. Maybe I'm really tired from work recently. Just take a break and that's it."

Mavis had never experienced this kind of thing in the middle of the night, and didn't notice anything wrong. "Rest more. Don't wear yourself out. Can I take care of you?"

What?

Lyra almost jumped up.

She didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only say loudly that she was fine and she didn't need to come.

Raising her voice so high all of a sudden made Mavis feel even more strange.

"Are you really okay? Do you want me..."

"No! Mavis, what do you want from me?"

When it came to business, Mavis got down to it.

She looked at the signed document and sighed, "The work here is over. I'm afraid it's time to tell Paloma when I should go back."

Lyra understood that this was another time when she couldn't make up her mind, so she came to discuss it with her.

"Then do you want to go back now? Have you figured out how to face Anthony when you go back? About the child, do you tell him or not?"

A series of problems were exactly what Mavis was worried about.

"I haven't figure it out. I amn't sure if Anthony would accept it. I amn't even sure if he's going to be with me."

Lyra explained, "Since you are not sure, wouldn't you be asking for trouble when you go back?"

After hearing this, Mavis thought there was nothing wrong with it, so she decided to stay and call Paloma herself.

And it was no surprise that Paloma received a call from Mavis. She was also worried about how to tell Mavis not to come back.

Because Anthony left the company behind and went to a small fishing village to find a woman, Paloma knew what was going on after inquiring a little bit.

Therefore, Paloma wanted Mavis to stay there for a while, so as not to be sad again when she came back.

However, Mavis directly informed that there were other businesses temporarily abroad and she cannot go back.

This was exactly what Paloma wanted.

But she still said, "Mavis, you'll come back, right? I like you very much, and I want you to come back and stay with me."

Mavis felt her heart soften for a while, and almost told her what was exactly going on directly.

"Grandma, don't worry. I have no plans not to go back. Even if I can't face Anthony, there will be a proper way to deal with it. It won't be unclear."

Paloma didn't like the latter part, but Mavis still wanted to say that she was now preparing for the worst.

"Good girl, I really feel sorry for you."

"It's okay, grandma. I still have work to do here. I'll hang up first, and I'll chat with you when I'm free." "Okay, you go to work first."

After hanging up the phone, Paloma was full of thoughts, and finally all her thoughts turned into a long sigh.

Rebecca was listening, and immediately understood the difficulty of this matter.

It was really embarrassing for Mavis, and it was embarrassing for grandma too. Paloma was so old and still had to worry about Anthony.

Anthony actually came back a long time ago. He had not returned to Callahan Residence, and asked people to keep the news that he had returned.

Since he brought Jaqueline back, he wanted to take her to familiarize herself with the environment first.

After thinking about it, Anthony finally arranged Jaqueline to live in the South Prime Apartment.

This apartment was secretly prepared by him for Lyra many years ago.

Originally, he thought that he and Lyra would be together, but, by mistake, Lyra had Malcolm first.

As a result, the apartment that was originally prepared for Lyra was left unoccupied.

Jaqueline entered the apartment and couldn't help admiring.

Compared with Callahan Residence, this apartment was relatively small. Anthony was used to living in a big house, so he thought he had wronged her, and explained, "I haven't cleaned it up carefully, so I have to wrong you first. Although it is not as good as Callahan Residence, it is a shelter. If you..."

"Shh-"

Jaqueline rushed up suddenly, and covered his lips lightly with her fingers, blocking all his next words.

This kind of action narrowed the distance between the two, and also moved Jaqueline's heart. She was in a panic.

An ambiguous atmosphere gradually ignited.

Her eyes were very bright.

Smiling, she said, "Anthony, this place is much better than my house in the fishing village. Besides, it would be nice to have a place to live. I didn't ask you to do anything, as long as you can stay with me. You don't have to put too much burden on yourself. I am very easy to get along with."

Anthony stood where he was, and his eyes looked indifferent.

"I'll take you shopping these few days. If you lack anything or like something, just tell me, and I can help you arrange it for you these days."

Hearing this, Jaqueline cheered from the bottom of her heart.

She couldn't tell why, but she just wanted Anthony to be with her.

But no matter how excited she was, she still pretended to be calm on the surface, and said with a slight smile, "Anthony, don't push off work because of me. Don't worry. I can solve many things by myself. Don't delay work because of me. I would feel guilty about it."

"You don't need to worry about these things. I promise to take good care of you for your grandma, and I will fulfill my promise."

Having said that, Anthony thought that Jaqueline was quite sensible, except that she looked like Lyra and knew how to do things properly.

The facilities in the apartment were relatively complete, and someone will come to clean it regularly, so it was always clean. What was missing now was some daily necessities from Jaqueline.

After resting for a while, Jaqueline proposed to go shopping with Anthony.

Sitting in the luxury car, Jaqueline was a little embarrassed, clutching the corner of her clothes tightly, and feeling very uneasy.

Anthony saw her nervousness, and comforted her, "Have you ever seen such a scene? Just follow me."

Jaqueline was extremely aggrieved. "I always have a feeling of stealing other people's things. Anthony, if we're seen by others, or... if Ms. Parker knows that I'm sitting in the passenger seat of her, would she come to look for me?"
