The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin)

Chapter 961 Even once, fall in love with me

Mavis didn't answer.

Looking at the empty hall of the aquarium, she felt a little emotional. "Do you still remember this place?"

"Yes, this is my first birthday present to Spencer. You chased here from Teflayria and became a keeper of the dolphin house. By accident, you rescued Molly who almost fell into the water. That's the first time I noticed you."

He just remembered it.

Enough was enough. Mavis asked for nothing more.

She took out the USB flash drive, but she didn't bring a computer, and it was even more impossible for Anthony to bring it, so she simply handed the USB flash drive to him and made it clear.

"This is a surveillance video of the coffee shop, which is enough to prove that I did not have any private communication with the representative of the two competitors, and I am not a spy."

As Anthony stared at the USB flash drive, his deep eyes made it hard to see what he was thinking.

Mavis didn't know what he was thinking. "Anthony, I know you don't love me, so you don't even care about my reputation, and you don't care if I was wronged in this matter. Still, if it's Jaqueline, would you have started investigating earlier?"

Anthony was silent.

His chest was inexplicably oppressed and uncomfortable, and some indescribable emotions made his feeling complicated.

He really didn't love her.

But he cared a lot about her reputation and whether she was wronged...

Feeling cold, he laughed at himself. "After all, you still haven't believed me, and you're still talking about Jaqueline."

Mavis foudn it inexplicable.

"I'm not blind. I can see what you did."

With the awkward atmosphere, Mavis took the initiative to change the subject.

"Let's not talk about this. It's already passed. The one-year agreement is ending soon. I still fail to impress you in the end. I lost."

At this moment, there was a divorce agreement in Mavis' bag.

She had already contacted the lawyer to make a plan. Instead of the two of them spending the last half month of the deadline together, it would be better for her to let him and Jaqueline go.

If Anthony filed for divorce first, he would definitely add additional financial conditions, giving her this and that as compensation.

So Mavis made preparations in advance. As agreed at the beginning, if she failed to make him fall in love with her, she would leave without taking anything with her.

She was willing to bet so she admitted defeat. And she didn't force things that didn't belong to her.

However, not directly taking out the divorce agreement was the chance Mavis gave herself, and it was also the last chance for Anthony.

She wanted to hear what he would say.

Anthony frowned. Looking at the woman in front of him, suddenly, he felt a throbbing pain in his heart.

He couldn't tell what it was like, but it felt very uncomfortable, as if something was getting farther and farther away from him.

Anthony finally attributed this to: reluctance.

In other words, even if it was a pet, if they had been together for a long time and the pet suddenly told him it would leave, he will feel sad. He should be just a dependence and habit on Mavis.

After thinking about it, he said lightly, "Do you think there is any misunderstanding between us?"

Mavis shook her head resolutely. "You and Jaqueline are just a couple. They all said that you are a perfect match, and I... think so too."

She didn't know how she came up with those words.

Personally wishing her love to be with other woman, she suddenly found that her chest was not so depressed, but instead felt a sense of pleasure.

It was the thrill of being finally released.

"Anthony, in this year, you haven't... even once, have you ever been tempted by me?"

Mavis hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking what she wanted to ask the most.

Anthony froze.

Why not? He felt dazed many times, such as hugging her for the first time, kissing her for the first time, and sleeping with her for the first time.

He was about to answer when the phone rang inappropriately.

Mavis had sharp eyes, and the moment he took out his phone, she saw the note.

It was Jaqueline who was calling him.

The caller sounded very anxious, "Hello? Hello, Mr. Callahan?!"

Hearing that it was a man, Anthony became displeased.

"This is Jaqueline's phone."

The man hastily explained, "Sorry, Mr. Callahan, our department has a party today. Jaqueline got drunk. She only has this number in her cell phone. The note is 'favorite person'. I didn't know it would be you, so I just..."

"Where are you?"

The man told him the address.

Anthony put away the USB flash drive, said "Sorry" to Mavis, and turned to leave.

She called his name, "Anthony."

Anthony turned his head and explained calmly, "There is something urgent. We can talk about it another day."

After speaking, he left without looking back, leaving Mavis alone.

Her passion completely disappeared at this moment, and she finally realized that it was useless for her to stay.

He already had Jaqueline by his side, and he and Jaqueline were in love with each other.

And she was just paying out one-way, so she should quit.

...

When Mavis returned to Callahan Residence, Paloma hadn't rested yet.

Seeing that she came back alone so quickly, and her complexion was not good, she understood a little bit.

She pulled Mavis to sit down, and the two looked at the garden at night together.

Paloma said lightly, "Actually, I know what's going on. It's nothing more than two people can't be together anymore. He's stubborn. You have your own ideas. Good girl, I don't force you. It's just a pity and it has nothing to do with you."

"Grandma..."

"I tell you something about me and your grandpa."

Mavis nodded with a sour nose.

"Actually, I was the one who chased your grandpa back then. To take care of my pride, he said he liked me first. Every time I saw him slapping his chest in front of his friends, I felt it was funny. Your grandpa is a very dedicated person. When he started his business, I thought that there would be more and more women around him, but I never thought that from the beginning to the end, there were no messy women..." Mavis listened quietly, a little lost in thought, worrying or laughing with her from time to time.

Grandma's voice was very gentle. Gradually, she spoke more and more slowly, as if deliberately slowing down, and the topic became boring.

Mavis was pregnant, and going out and back made her exhausted, especially mentally.

Before she knew it, she didn't know when she fell asleep.

As night fell, it cast a shadow over the entire Callahan Residence.

Paloma looked at Mavis who was sleeping, took a blanket and covered her gently.

The temperature in the villa was not too low, so she shouldn't catch a cold.

Paloma looked at everything in front of her and suddenly felt old.

There were many things that even if she wanted to take care of, she become powerless.

Tonight, she can be regarded as recalling her past, feeling a little sentimental.

But Paloma could see that it wouldn't be long before Mavis left.

For Mavis, she had lost the main meaning of being in this family, and treating her well alone cannot solve the fundamental problem.

As soon as Paloma went upstairs, Mavis opened her eyes. Looking at the back of grandma, she was filled with emotion.

She could see that grandma knew everything, but she didn't say anything.

Since grandma wanted to sleep well, she followed her wish.

After the entire Callahan Residence fell silent, Mavis returned to the room. Her movements were very light, for fear of waking others.

The moment the door closed, the door to the next room opened. Rebecca glanced at Mavis' room and let out a long sigh.

Everyone seemed to have tacit understanding and will not mention it anymore, but they knew everything well.

The next morning, Mavis woke up before dawn. She didn't have many things, and some things had been packed in advance, so she packed them quickly.
