After divorce I am a billionaire -
Chapter 369 Malcolm is his own son's stepfather
Keira was very light and thin. She kept struggling but just couldn't get rid of Malcolm's clutches.
Chad rushed up and rubbed his hands nervously, without confidence, "Boss, I...just joked with her ..."
Malcolm looked over at him and ordered, "Get your little brat out of here! If you bully her again and cause her to come running to Rara and tell on me, I'll have punish you with military law!" "Don't! I won't do it any more!"
With the mention of military law, it could say that Malcolm was really angry. Chad was frightened, and held Keira back from Malcolm's hands.
Keira pouted indignantly, and her hands wrapped his neck tightly, threatening him with her eyes.
"You heard it! I have a backer now. If you say you don't want me anymore, Mr. Malcolm will take a little whip to beat you!"
Chad and Malcolm were both speechless at the same time.
Lyra covered her mouth and laughed very unkindly.
Keira was really a cunning little brat. She got the backer and she was similar with her in terms of character.
Chad was emotionally naive and silly... she was afraid Keira must master him in the future.
Lyra walked over and tapped the tip of Keira's nose, correcting her wording, "That's not how you use the words 'a little whip'. It's ambiguous."
"Ambiguous? Just a little fling between a man and a woman?"
Keira looked at Malcolm thoughtfully, then at Lyra, and snickered, "Last time I heard Chad say that Lyra is more powerful than Mr. Malcolm, so will Lyra also use the little whip to fix Mr. Malcolm?" Malcolm and Lyra didn't know what to say.
This time it was Chad's turn to hold his laughter.
"Come on, why can't you keep your mouth shut? If you keep talking, Mr. Malcolm is going to get mad! And then he'll beat you up!" He hugged Keira, turned his head and headed for the car, hurriedly shoving her into the passenger seat.
Lyra had a helpless smile. Her small hand took Malcolm's, and tightly interlocked fingers, "Malcolm, you're usually so well behaved. How can I take a small whip to beat you? What do you think?"
Malcolm was in a much more relaxed mood and nodded with satisfaction as he sat the back row with her.
Not long after, the four returned to the White Manor.
Keira chattered and talked her best jokes along the way, making them laugh and having a good time.
Through the winding alleyways of the White Manor, before they reached the door of Lyre Spiti, there was a pretty figure standing just outside the villa waiting and pacing leisurely back and forth. Lyra was the first to notice. The woman's skin was extremely well. No one could guess her age from her appearance. She was wearing a high-couture and elegant dress, but her face was very strange. Lyra had not seen her before.
And the woman who was at the door noticed them approaching and looked over at Malcolm with a smile, "Malcolm, it's been a long time."
The intimacy made Lyra subconsciously frown. She was trying to release Malcolm, but his grip was tightened.
Malcolm's eyes were also on the woman. There was a slight surprise in his inky pupils, "Auntie Alice."
Auntie Alice?
The eldest daughter of White family, Alice White, who was in her thirties, had been abroad and was an unmarried person. And she was coming back for a reunion.
Lyra was embarrassed. Alice looked so young that she thought Alice was having some affairs with Malcolm.
Malcolm stepped forward and introduced to Alice, "Alice, this is my fiancee, Lyra Lloyd."
"Hello, Alice."
Lyra smiled and spoke politely.
Alice looked at her, but her eyes gradually froze, showing obvious dislike, "How is it you? You are Malcolm's fiancee?"
Lyra was confused and looked at each other with Malcolm. Neither of them understood Alice's meaning.
"I've always been Malcolm's fiancee. It hasn't changed. Do you hear something?"
Alice's face looked cold, "Not long ago in European Swye, Princess Cayley held a court banquet. You were on stage in the limelight. You probably did not pay attention to the offstage. I was at that party." Lyra's expression froze.
Since Alice was at the party, she must have known about her and Anthony's wedding, no wonder she treated her badly.
"That happened for a reason ..."
When she tried to explain, Alice coldly withdrew her gaze and stepped forward to tug Malcolm's arm, "Come with me alone. I want to talk to you."
Malcolm was pulled away.
Lyra looked at the back of the two to a corner, lowered her eyes and felt a little despondent.
Chad noticed her mood and came over to reassure her, "Don't worry, Miss Lyra. She doesn't know the situation and may say some not so nice things to Mr. Malcolm, but Mr. Malcolm definitely believes in you."
"I know."
Lyra responded.
She didn't know what she was afraid of. Was she afraid that Malcolm would suspect that the baby was really Anthony's because of Alice's words? How could Malcolm possibly think that way?
She stroked her belly. It was still too early to feel the baby's presence, but she knew that a new life was being birthed in it.
It was her and Malcolm's baby!
Chad saw that her expression froze and she touched her stomach. He was afraid she would be overly concerned, so he hurriedly winked at Keira.
Keira immediately understood what he meant and enthusiastically stepped forward to take Lyra's arm, continuing to tell her jokes.
Lyra's thoughts were quickly carried over by this young girl who was beside her and allowed her to pull herself along and go inside the villa.
Alice pulled Malcolm along and kept walking to the corner of the garden.
"Alice, you're going to make Rara paranoid. There is no word that Rara cannot listen to, and I have no secrets from her."
Alice wasn't too happy, "Are you accusing me of that?"
Malcolm lowered his head and didn't say anything. His silence meant acquiescence.
Alice was angry for a moment, but because it was her favorite nephew, she did not scold him, but said, "Do you have any idea what that Lyra Lloyd did in European Swye!?"
"I know." His face looked flat and he nodded.
"You know?" Alice was shocked, "If you knew all that, why didn't you cancel your engagement with her? She went to Europe Swye to marry another man, and is pregnant with that man's child."
"The day when she threw up in public at the banquet, it was well known to European Swye's nobility. She and that man were showing affection at the banquet! You can tolerate this?" What she said was a momentary discomfort to Malcolm's heart.
He quickly hid his displeasure and said without changing his facial expression, "Alice, you misunderstand. The child in Rara's belly is mine, and the reason she went to European Swye was for me."
"Hmm?"
Alice was baffled and stared at him incredulously, "Are you out of your mind? You like being cheating, right? I saw it with my own eyes at the party. How can it be fake? She admitted that the child in her belly is that man's. Are you planning to be a stepfather?"
Malcolm was speechless.
That was his baby. Who was he going to be a stepfather to?
It should have been Anthony who wanted to be a stepfather in the first place.
