After divorce I am a billionaire
Chapter 760 Callahan's Pretentious Affection

With bitterness in his throat, Anthony hung his head in frustration.

Faced with Spencer's accusations, he was speechless.

"Sorry..."

Thousands of words were not enough to express the surging guilt in his heart, and his thin lips trembled several times. Finally he could only say this word.

Spencer snorted, "If an apology is useful, why do we need the police?"

Anthony stood by the hospital bed. His throat choked with discomfort, and his eyes were red.

Spencer noticed his expression and pursed his lips, "Actually, I'm not such a stingy person. I know it's been so long, and you never thought of harming me. I just want to tell you. Be willing to spend money for me, and you must try your best to make me happy."

His childish voice sounded very arrogant.

Anthony nodded firmly, looked at the list of plans for the renovation of the aquarium in his hand, and showed no temper.

"You're right, as long as it can make you happy. Even if it's because of this aquarium, I should go bankrupt, I will definitely complete the aquarium you planned."

Spencer waved his hand impatiently, "Go on with your work. Don't bother me."

"Okay, have a good rest." Anthony restrained his brief gaffe, took the planning paper, and turned to leave.

As soon as he left the door of the ward, he met Malcolm in the corridor, who had returned from buying durian.

Malcolm saw his red eyes from a distance, and jokingly said in a low voice, "Why do you look like you are about to cry to death? You were scolded and cried by my son? You can't even win a five-year-old kid? When is your enduring capacity so weak?"

Anthony did not explain, folded the plan sheet in his hand, and carefully put it into the lining of the suit.

"If you have nothing to ask me more, I'll continue cleaning the toilet."

Malcolm looked indifferent and nodded.

Anthony bypassed him and left, and heard what he said again, "Now that you are in a relationship, you have to take care of her, and don't let her down."

Anthony turned his head suddenly, "What do you mean?" Did Mavis say something to Lyra?

"Literally, the last time we went to the aquarium, I saw that you didn't say a few words to that woman from beginning to end. You were very indifferent, but she was staring at you with infatuation. We're all men. How could I not understand?"

Anthony breathed a sigh of relief.

It looked like Mavis wasn't stupid enough to gossip behind his back.

"Mr. Malcolm, rest assured. I will be responsible for her if I choose to fall in love with her."

Malcolm had no expression. It was someone else's business, so he won't ask too much. He just saw Lyra and that woman were very close last time, and they had a good chat, so he only said a few more words.

Mavis stayed in the room and was bored all day.

Rebecca didn't go out either, chatting with her and accompanying for a day.

In the evening, when Anthony came home for dinner, Timothy, Rebecca and Mavis were already waiting for him at the dinner table.

Thinking of the kiss last night, Mavis was staring at him without blinking.

He didn't seem to see her at all, so he went straight to the main seat of the dinning room and sat down, picked up his cutlery, and said casually, "Let's eat."

There was only the sound of moving the cutlery in the dining room.

After dinner, Anthony walked upstairs with Mavis.

Since there were always servants when they passed by, the two didn't say a word.

Standing in front of the bedroom door, Anthony stopped, "I still have a lot of official business to deal with at night. You need to rest early. Don't wait for me."

"Hey?"

When Mavis turned around and wanted to ask, he had already turned around and went to the stairs, all the way up to the study, walking without looking back, and not giving her a chance to speak at all. Was he still angry?

Mavis couldn't understand his temper at all, but with what he just said, he was going to sleep in the study again tonight, and he didn't plan to go back to the bedroom.

In the next few days, Anthony went to the study every night under the pretext of work, but would not come back all night.

Even the servants of the Callahan family felt like they had quarreled before sleeping in separate rooms.

The Callahan family specially sent a driver to take Mavis to the company.

Mavis hadn't said a word to Anthony for days, didn't even know where he was all day except seeing him at the dinner table.

This cold war lasted for a week.

Until Rebecca couldn't take it anymore, and asked Anthony directly at the dinner table.

"Anthony, what the hell did Mavis do wrong that you want to do this to her?"

Anthony's movement to hold the cutlery froze. He quickly regained his calm, and continued to calmly pick up vegetables.

"No." He said succinctly, and his tone was flat.

"Anthony, don't hide. Now we know that you quarreled with Mavis. How long has it been since you two married? You went to sleep in the study and left her alone in the empty room. Are you doing too much?" When Timothy heard it, he echoed, "Anthony, this is your fault. Men should be more lenient. She married into our family from a foreign country. You can't be extremely sensitive. If there is a fight, you should take the initiative to apologize."

They echoed each other, all on Mavis' side.

Anthony was sullen. His expression did not look good, and he still bowed his head to eat without saying a word.

Mavis was very moved to hear it, and was surprised to appear in such a wealthy family with them to protect her.

In classic TV dramas of giants fighting for power and profits, brothers fought very fiercely, but the Callahan family made her feel like a big loving family.

"Thank you, Timothy and Rebecca, for your concern, but Anthony didn't treat me badly. I did something wrong a few days ago, which made him unhappy..."

Before she could finish speaking, Anthony put down the fork with a thud, and was clearly annoyed. This was a warning.

He seemed to be afraid that she would take the opportunity to tell Rebecca and Timothy what happened last time.

Mavis was startled by the sudden sound, and her face turned pale for a moment.

Didn't he see that she was trying to give him an out?

He threw his fork before she finished speaking. This was to tell his siblings on the opposite side that they were not reconciled at all.

Timothy and Rebecca were looking back and forth between them, and probing.

Mavis smiled awkwardly and could only continue to explain, "I have already apologized to Anthony. We do not quarreled now. He sleeps in the study these days. It is entirely because he is too busy with official business, and I can't help him. So, I didn't dare to bother him too much."

Rebecca was not satisfied with her explanation that she was clearly wronged and heped Anthony, and looked at Anthony again.

"Anthony, no matter how many official business there are, you can't forget your wife. Since Mavis has already apologized to you, why should you be angry anymore? Move back to sleep tonight."

Both siblings looked at Anthony, waiting for him to speak.

There were also a few servants, a few cooks and Dylan standing around the dinning table.

After hesitating for a moment, Anthony slowly put down his knife and grabbed the hand of Mavis who sat next to him. His eyes looked very gentle.

"I've been really busy recently. In addition to going to the lab during the day and handling Callahan Group's official business at night, I have to spare time to rebuild the aquarium for Spencer. It's good that my wife can understand me like this."

"It's my fault this time. I shouldn't be busy with business and leave my wife alone. I'll go back to my room tonight and wait for my wife to fix me herself."

With the ambiguous but warm words, Timothy and Rebecca kept tutting. Did they display their affection publicly?

After Timothy and Rebecca persuaded the young couple, it turned out they had nothing serious, but they were forced to watch them display affection. At the dinner table, only Mavis was dumbfounded.

Anthony's words made her even back stiff, and she didn't get out of the pretentious affection in his blue eyes for a long time.

What did he just... call her?

Wife??
