After divorce I am a billionaire
Chapter 758 The first kiss

Mavis frowned and endured the pain. She was too hungry to break free, and the feeling of grievance continued in her eyes instantly.

"I'm just your contracted wife. After a year, we have nothing to do with each other. I only made you angry yesterday. You warned me that you won't come to pick me up today. It's clearly a punishment for me. Do you want me to leave my self-respect, call and beg you to pick me up?"

"I could have come back by myself, but I didn't expect my phone to run out of battery, and I didn't mean to get lost."

"Anthony, it's you who told me not to rely on you. I also know very well that I can't rely on you. Otherwise, when we divorce after a year, how will I live without you?"

"I have to familiarize myself with the route to work sooner or later. If I suffer a few more losses, I will memorize it."

Her cheek that he had just pinched was still hurting, and the grievances were flooding her whole chest.

"Anthony, why are you doing this to me? I know it's wrong. I won't ask about your past with Lyra. I know I don't deserve to know your past, and I know I can't compare to her in your heart, but I am working hard. I chased you all the way from Teflayria to Crana for five years."

"I don't ask you to like me anymore. I just ask you not to be so cruel to me. At least let me still feel that you are beautiful in my heart after one year. Um..."

It was raining heavily. Anthony threw his umbrella, held her head, and kissed her lips without hesitation.

The domineering kiss came overwhelmingly.

Her heart felt like there was an electric shock in an instant.

Mavis was stunned.

Her mind went blank, and even her breath was almost taken away by this sudden kiss.

Anthony actually... kissed her?

Was he crazy?

Mavis slapped his chest wildly, but her strength couldn't cause any harm at all. Instead he held her tighter and tighter, and her nose was full of his breath.

The secluded road was devoid of pedestrians, let alone vehicles passing by.

Only the luxury car that Anthony drove, the two beams of headlights shone on the figure of the two embracing.

Even the cold air of the rainy night became sweet because of this kiss.

The tender kiss continued for several minutes until Mavis fainted and fell softly into his arms.

"Mavis?"

Anthony looked at her pale face, took off his suit jacket decisively, wrapped her petite shoulders, bent over and hugged her back to the car, and drove back to Callahan Residence. Rebecca was taken aback when she saw that Mavis had been brought back.

"What happened to Mavis? Why is her face so pale? Was she kidnapped? Is she injured? Anthony, didn't you go out with an umbrella? Why did you get wet?"

Anthony was too lazy to answer because she was too noisy, and told Dylan, "Go and get the family doctor over."

"Okay, Mr. Callahan."

Anthony carried Mavis upstairs, carefully placing her on the bed.

The wet clothes had to be changed, and he unbuttoned Mavis.

After unbuttoning a few buttons, he seemed to think of something, and stopped suddenly.

Rebecca came over to see because she was worried.

Anthony said immediately, "Come over and change her clothes. Her luggage is in the far left wardrobe."

Giving the order, Anthony had a sullen look. And his long eyelashes covered the panic in his eyes for a moment. Then he got up and left the room directly. Rebecca felt it inexplicable, "Anthony, what do you mean? Mavis is your wife. It's just right for you to change her clothes. Are you embarrassed?"

Boom--

In response to her, Anthony slammed the door shut.

"How can you treat your wife like this?"

After saying those, Rebecca didn't think about twice but went to the closet to take out a set of pajamas and put it on Mavis according to Anthony's instruction. The family doctor arrived.

Mavis' temperature was taken.

Because of being caught in the rain for several hours, she inevitably had a fever. Because she hadn't had a meal, her body was particularly weak.

The doctor gave a bag of nutrient solution for her, and prescribed medicines to reduce fever. All of them were infusion bottles, which had the fastest effect.

Anthony fled from the room.

To avoid being seen for his gaffe, he went to the study and shut himself up to calm down.

The rain outside the window continued, and there was no tendency to stop.

Raindrops stained on the glass and the study room was full of depressed atmosphere.

Anthony was half-leaning against the window, sipping a cigarette, but he didn't look good.

At this moment, he opened his eyes and closed his eyes, and his mind was full of images of kissing Mavis by the road just now.

His heart couldn't stop beating wildly, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Why... kissed her?

He never thought he would do such a ridiculous thing, but for a moment his brain seemed to be stunned, and he just wanted to stop Mavis's chattering mouth.

He thought that he would never have feelings for a second woman other than Lyra in his life, but at that time, he really had a momentary feeling for Mavis.

He had loved Lyra for more than ten years, but he had never even kissed Lyra once.

The first kiss...was for Mavis.

Being annoyed, Anthony snuffed out the cigarette butt, took out a liquor from the bookshelf, and leaned against the window.

While enjoying the rain, he was drinking alcohol.

He was trying to numb his nerves and block those wild thoughts.

Being exhausted, Mavis slept until the next morning.

When she woke up, she smelled the smell of porridge.

Rebecca just came in with the porridge cooked from the kitchen, "Mavis, you woke up. You scared me to death last night."

Mavis stood up, leaned weakly against the head of the bed, and asked in a hoarse voice, "How did I get back?" "Anthony brought you back."

She put the bowl on the table and asked earnestly, "To be honest, what happened to you and Anthony?"

"What?"

"Mavis, don't pretend to be confused with me. He didn't go to the office to pick you up and let you get back on the bus and take the subway. It made you get lost. Just last night, he even asked me to change your clothes. There must be something wrong with you two."

Mavis looked down at the pajamas on her body, and couldn't help but feel a lot more at ease.

Her head was dizzy, but she remembered last night on the side of the road, when Anthony kissed her...

Thinking of that incident, she blushed a little and said to Rebecca, "It had nothing to do with him. It's my fault. It's because I didn't do something well two days ago, which made him sulking with me." Rebecca sighed helplessly.

"You just know to protect him and help him cover up."

"I didn't..." Mavis smiled and looked pale, but her eyes looked sincere.

Rebecca sighed again, feeling a little reluctant to tell Mavis the truth.

Anthony's actions simply made her look down on him. If he wasn't Mavis' husband, she would definitely scold him.

His wife was sick, and he didn't even dare to change a piece of clothing himself. He didn't see her all night, and he didn't ask the doctor about her condition, let alone take care of her.

He just went to the study and stayed there all night, as if trying to hide from the plague.

He didn't seem to care about his wife's health at all.

With Anthony's heartless deed, how did he have a wife?

And he had a good wife like Mavis who was willing to follow him.
