The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin)

Chapter 1022 Birthday Banquet

Lyra quickly put away her phone, and when she turned her head, she saw Anthony walking towards her from the elevator.

She smiled slightly and said in a natural tone, "There is an employee of the Lloyd's Corp who just gave birth recently and encountered some family matters. She just came to ask some advice from me."

Anthony didn't see the specific content of the conversation on the screen of her mobile phone, and smiled casually, "Since a family is established, there are always conflicts."

Lyra nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's just being humble to each other so that we can live a good life. My employee's husband didn't love her at first, and he didn't even approve of her having a child because he has a very close female friend. Now that the baby is born, her husband's attitude towards the child has gradually improved, but she has become disheartened, and she doesn't quite believe that her husband can insist on being good to the child."

For this matter, Anthony had his own ideas.

"Since her husband is not ready for a new life, she really should seriously consider whether to have a child. The man did something wrong about his close female friend, but since his husband has a conscience and decides to treat the family well in the future, she should give him a chance."

Even the law will give criminals who didn't deserve to die a chance to amend.

Let alone a family.

Lyra was slightly taken aback. There was no absolute right or wrong in anything, but Anthony's thinking angle was indeed of reference value.

But... she was just a bystander, and only the person involved knew how much suffering there was.

She can't make any decisions for Mavis.

She smiled gently at Anthony, "You are right. I will consider talking to my employee, but why did you come down alone? Didn't you take care of Alis?"

Anthony took out a blue crystal earring from his pocket and handed it over, "You left it in my office just now. I just brought it for you."

Lyra touched the right earlobe, and it was indeed empty.

"I walked too fast just now, so I didn't feel that the earring fell off. Thank you. In fact, you can give it to Zack to bring it to me, or keep it for me, and wait for the next time I come to discuss the project." Anthony just laughed at this, "How can your stuff be handed over to others? I'm afraid you will be anxious if you can't find it, so I sent it here quickly."

Lyra took the blue crystal earring from his palm and put it on herself.

"You're considerate, but Alis' affairs come first. Don't leave him alone in the office for too long. Go back quickly."

Anthony nodded and turned back to the elevator.

Lyra looked at his back and touched the right earring again.

She didn't know what kind of feelings Anthony had for her now. All these years, he had always kept his duty to her, but there seemed to be some kind of fantasy that he shouldn't have. During this period of time, she always went to Callahan Group, and Anthony was very polite every time, talking about business in a serious manner.

But because of an earring, he would leave his infant son and send it to her downstairs himself?

Was it because she thought too much?

Watching Anthony's back into the elevator and completely disappearing into the garage on the first floor, Lyra turned and left the Callahan Group. Meanwhile, Anthony went back to the office.

Little Alis was quietly sleeping in the crib next to the desk. Anthony walked over and touched his soft cheek lightly, but his thoughts were lost.

"Alis, your Aunt Lyra seems to be hiding something."

Lyra had something on her mind. Did Malcolm know it?

...

For one or two months in a row, Lyra came to Callahan Group almost every week to discuss the project plan with Anthony in person, and by the way, to see little Alis, coaxing and playing with him. Except that she liked to take photos and videos of little Alis every day, there was no special difference.

Anthony beat about the bush a few times, but Lyra acted calmly and answered calmly. It seemed that it was just because she liked Alis so much?

There were too many business affairs and his son had to be taken care of. Anthony quickly dispelled his doubts about Lyra and concentrated on going to work and raising the baby.

*

One year later.

On the day of little Alis's first birthday, all the employees of Callahan Group took a day off from work and Anthony took the child back to Callahan Residence. Rebecca personally arranged a simple first birthday party for little Alis.

Those who came were relatives or friends who had a particularly good relationship with the Callahan family.

Lyra and Malcolm were also invited.

The Callahan family garden was very lively, with ribbons and balloons tied to the trees, childlike and beautiful.

Lyra held Molly, and Malcolm held Spencer. The two kids were already seven years old.

Although they wer twins, their expressions were very different. Molly was full of curiosity about little Alis' birthday party, bouncing up and down all the way. Spencer, on the other hand, had a cold face and no good expression, as if he was tired of participating in this kind of occasion.

He had almost the same expression as Malcolm who was stable, like a small duplicate.

At one year old, little Alis can already walk stumblingly.

When Lyra and Malcolm arrived, they saw Anthony taking little Alis to the Callahan family's ancestral hall.

One big and one small figures knelt on the soft futons, facing the tablets of the ancestors.

Anthony was kneeling straight and upright, while little Alis was kneeling and sitting unstably. He followed Anthony and bent slightly, wanting to kowtow. As a result, his head sank into the soft futon and he couldn't get up.

"Woooo! Ahhhh!"

The distraught little one tried to speak, calling for Anthony in his own language.

Anthony frowned slightly, lifted his back collar, pulled his upper body up, and reminded him softly, "Be upright. Try to follow me."

"Yeah..."

Little Alis danced and pointed at something. His pronunciation was very unclear, but he couldn't wait to speak, and wanted to let his father know what he thought. Anthony couldn't understand what he wanted to express, so he just said lightly, "Quiet."

Little Alis pouted, a little frustrated.

Anthony kowtowed three times to the ancestral tablets, and little Alis imitated him, and nodded his head three times in a very non-standard way.

He knelt on the futon and moved around, pointing with his little fleshy finger at a tablet not far away and deliberately loudly attracting Anthony's attention. "Mommy, mommy!"

Anthony followed the direction he pointed, and it happened to be Mavis' tablet.

Paloma told little Alis several times, but unexpectedly the child really remembered.

Moreover, Alis spoke like a bird, but only the pronunciation to his mother was relatively clear.

Unable to tell how he felt, Anthony said softly, "Yes, that's your mommy. She's looking at you. Kowtow to her."

Little Alis understood, and bent down very carefully, and finally threw himself on the ground. His whole body was lying on the futon.

Anthony watched his antics, couldn't help laughing, and shook his head with a smile.

Outside the open door of the ancestral hall, Malcolm held Spencer by the hand, staring at the hall without saying a word.

Lyra took the opportunity to record a video of father-son harmony.

The light and shadow outside the door were blocked a lot. Anthony reached his long arms, and easily took his son into his arms with one hand, watching his son's short legs flopping. "Let's go draw the lots."
