The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin)

Chapter 962 Leave without saying goodbye

Mavis cooked a simple breakfast for the whole family.

When Rebecca and Paloma woke up and saw it, they expressed surprise.

Mavis stayed here for a year, and learned some crafts more or less. The food she cooked was delicious, and Paloma and Rebecca were full of praise for her.

At the dinner table, Paloma seemed to have something to say, but when she opened her mouth, she never said it.

After the meal, the servant cleaned up the mess, and Mavis went upstairs.

She called Anthony. "I have something important for you. Please come back sometime."

Anthony readily agreed. There was still a meeting in the morning. He thought about it, and called Zack to cancel this meeting.

Zack was very surprised. "Mr. Callahan, this is from the business department..."

"Now my words don't work anymore?"

Zack shut up just in time, knowing that he couldn't be persuaded.

Mavis got the evidence of the video, but how could those sophisticates on the board of directors let her come back with a video?

Anthony had a good intention and worked hard in the middle, but why couldn't he tell his wife directly?

...

Anthony came home alone.

He didn't finish chatting with Mavis last night, so he thought she called him back because she wanted to continue talking about the same thing last night. In the study.

Mavis looked at the decoration in front of her. It was all based on Anthony's preferences, and she also liked this elegant style.

For her, it was rare to see such a grand decoration style in other countries in the past.

It was hard for her to have a chance to see it again in the future.

The engine of the luxury car sounded. She looked down, and Anthony's car entered the gate.

The footsteps were getting closer, and when Anthony pushed open the study door, Mavis sat on the chair and looked at him with a smile.

"I thought you wouldn't be back until the afternoon. Why so early?"

"I have nothing to do in the morning. I come back after receiving your call." Anthony took off his suit jacket and sat by the desk. "Continue with last night's topic?"

The two sitting positions made Mavis feel that they were not a couple, but more like clients who came to discuss cooperation.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help smiling bitterly that they were not like a married couple.

A one-year agreement was like a deal that she bet on.

"No more, I asked all the questions I should have asked last night."

Mavis said frankly.

Anthony looked her in the eyes, with his brows furrowed.

Jaqueline drank too much last night. He rushed back to check her safety, so the conversation was interrupted, and Mavis obviously didn't finish something.

At this time, Mavis took out a document in her bag, and her expression was calmer than ever.

She put it on the table and pushed it in front of Anthony, smiling warmly, as if nothing had happened.

"This is the divorce agreement. I have already signed my name. The one-year agreement is coming soon. You have someone you love. I won't bother you anymore." She had already prepared what she should say countless times, and she thought she could say these words calmly.

But at this moment, she still felt very sad.

The feeling went from bottom to top, all the way to her throat. Her nose turned sore, and her chest was extremely uncomfortable.

There were still a lot of farewell words, but she couldn't help but choked up. In the end, thousands of words turned into one sentence: "I hope you can be happy." She turned around and went out, for fear that he would see her fragility.

Mavis went back to the room, closed the door, and leaned her back against the door, letting her body slide down limply, and sitting straight on the ground.

In the study, Anthony was at a loss.

The sudden divorce agreement left him at a loss as to what to do.

Reluctance and sadness welled up in his heart, and all kinds of emotions wrapped him tightly.

He had no other thoughts, but just felt that people didn't like parting, not to mention that Mavis had been with him for a year.

Anthony picked up the divorce agreement and turned to the last page. He wanted to end the relationship, but he couldn't write his name when he picked up the pen.

He suddenly felt a little irritable. He walked around in the study and scratched his hair again. He didn't know where the unknown emotion came from, and he kicked the chair in agitation.

*

Mavis was gone.

She made an appointment early on with the luggage deliverer, booked the air ticket, and chose the place.

She was going to a place where no one will disturb her, and she will give birth to the child quietly. After hesitating, Mavis thought that the city where Lyra was currently located had a good climate. During the last business trip, she went to a ranch.

The natural grassland and herds of cattle and sheep made her feel relaxed and happy.

She liked the scenery there very much, which gave her a feeling of freedom.

Fortunately, she left a herdsman's contact information at that time. She contacted the herdsman to find a place to live and planned to go straight there.

Mavis didn't tell Lyra about this, because she was afraid that if Lyra found out, she would come to fight for her.

She also didn't want to worry Lyra. Everything was voluntary by her. Without the desperate pursuit of love at the beginning, there would be no disastrous state. Paloma finished her breakfast and went back to catch up on sleep. When she woke up, she saw the luxury car outside the door and knew that Anthony was back. She wanted to persuade Anthony that Mavis was a good girl.

But as soon as she went out, she saw Rebecca with red eyes, and immediately felt something was wrong.

"What's wrong?"

Paloma asked.

Rebecca forced a smile. She wanted to find an excuse, or make up a reason to tell grandma that Mavis was just on a business trip. "Mavis just went out. She said that she has a project to discuss, and the time, time is a bit long, so she left before she could tell you ..."

As Rebecca spoke, her emotions gradually collapsed, and she finally choked up to the point of giving up.

Even she can't believe what she said. How can grandma believe it?

She lowered her head, desperately holding back the tears she wanted to shed.

"Grandma, Mavis she... she's gone."

She won't be coming back.

Paloma froze for a moment, sighed, and gently hugged Rebecca in her arms, patting her back to comfort her.

"Let's go. I knew she would go sooner or later. We're sorry for her. She is not happy here. It is a wise choice to leave."

Rebecca raised her head. "Grandma, you already knew that Mavis was going to leave. Why didn't you tell me? I wasn't mentally prepared at all."

"Stupid girl, if I tell you that, you'll cry to tell her not to leave. Mavis is softhearted. If she doesn't leave, she will continue to suffer. We can't replace her to suffer."

Paloma laughed heartily a few times, and the laughter seemed to be magical, dissipating the sad emotions a bit.

After a while, Paloma suddenly said, "Anthony is back. This brat, I haven't seen him for a long time. I'll go upstairs and have a look."

Saying that, Paloma went upstairs.

Tom came out of the study just as he delivered something, and called Paloma.

Anthony heard it too.

Paloma pushed open the door without knocking and went in.

Anthony's state was a bit decadent.

He raised his eyes, stood up and said, "Grandma, you are here."

"Sit down."

Paloma looked around and happened to see the divorce agreement on the table.

Mavis's name was neatly signed on it.

She said meaningfully, "Anthony, I used to think that you were the most reliable child in the family, capable, assertive, and able to tell right from wrong. But now, can you ask yourself, do you not really feel sorry for Mavis?"

"She came all the way here because she likes you, she loves you, but in the end, what did you give her?"

"Even now, many people don't know that our family had such a granddaughter-in-law."

Anthony had mixed feelings in his heart, unspeakably sad.

That feeling lingered in his heart, and he was so oppressed that he couldn't breathe.

"Grandma, I was wrong."

Paloma was taken aback, shook her head and sighed. "You were wrong? What's the use of saying this now? Mavis is gone. Do you have the courage to chase her back?"

Anthony lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Paloma snorted to herself and replied, "You don't."
