The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin)

Chapter 959 Avoiding me on purpose

"Grandma," Mavis couldn't help smile, "I'm in a hurry. I went to the coffee shop, and I'm on my way now. I'll be home in about ten minutes. What delicious food did you cook?" Paloma felt relieved when she heard it.

She greeted warmly. "There are a lot of delicious food, all of which you like. Come back quickly."

"Okay."

Paloma who hung up the phone lost a little enthusiasm.

She stared at the table full of food. Her waist was a little sore, because she hadn't cooked for a long time, and she was still a little uncomfortable working.

Rebecca advised her several times to take a break, but Paloma was energetic for no reasons, and she insisted on making this meal herself.

When she stared straight at the food on the table, Rebecca asked her, "Grandma, why do you seem unhappy?"

Paloma came back to her senses, sighed, and asked Rebecca, "Do you think Mavis really came back because she was not feeling well?"

Rebecca pondered for a while, then shook her head and said, "No."

"A person who is not feeling well could not go out to deal with some urgent matter. She can't even tell a lie. Rebecca, Mavis is suffering now. We want to make her as happy as possible and not mention the unhappy things."

Paloma was old and spoke slowly.

It was precisely because of this that Rebecca can listen to it, and it always had a somewhat meaningful feeling.

Rebecca nodded in response.

She more or less understood that if she were Mavis, she would have left by now.

As an outsider, Rebecca had selfish intentions and wanted Mavis to stay longer. Grandma liked her very much, and she liked her too.

...

Soon, Mavis arrived at home.

Paloma greeted her enthusiastically, telling Mavis to wash her hands and eat.

When passing by the dining table, Mavis couldn't hold back her curiosity and took a look.

A table full of delicacies.

It seemed that for this meal, grandma really made a lot of efforts.

Mavis had always liked Crana's food. Compared with those single-flavored steaks, it seemed that the people here can always make common ingredients different. Paloma couldn't help laughing when she saw her childish actions. "This is all for you. Don't just smell it. Wash your hands and eat."

Mavis turned around excitedly.

"It smells so good."

With that said, she went to wash her hands.

Rebecca rarely saw her being so happy, and always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was that.

Since Anthony seldom came home for dinner, they were not waiting for him.

Mavis enjoyed the meal.

Paloma was afraid that she hadn't eaten enough, so she kept serving her food.

Paloma hid her emotions quietly since she had gone through a lot of things, but Mavis couldn't hold back.

All along, so many things happened. She didn't eat well and didn't know how the baby in her womb felt now. She just felt that she had treated the baby badly. After the meal, Mavis felt much better.

Anthony came back very late. When she heard the movement, she wanted to talk to him, but he turned around and went into the study, and never came out again. He didn't even give her a chance to chat.

Early the next morning, Mavis was still waiting for him, but was told by the servant at home that Anthony had left early.

Now she was almost sure that this man was hiding from her on purpose.

The sound of collisions kept coming from upstairs. Mavis wanted to go upstairs to have a look, but Rebecca came out of the wash and stopped her directly. "What happened?" Mavis asked her, noticing something.

Rebecca spoke with difficulty, "Mavis, Anthony said that he's been very busy recently, so he'll live in the company during this time, and won't go home for now." After she finished speaking, she didn't even dare to look at Mavis' face.

Mavis laughed at herself, and then sent Anthony a message.

"You can hide from me for a while, but you can't hide from me for the rest of your life. Let's have a talk sometime."

While eating breakfast, Mavis was absent-minded.

Paloma noticed it and only said, "Eat more. Your health is important." And she didn't comment on other things.

...

The message sent by Mavis naturally was like a stone dropped into the sea.

She called him again, but still no answer.

During the noon break, Mavis dialed the phone again without giving up. Anthony's phone rang for a long time, and finally got through.

"Anthony, why are you avoiding me? Is it that hard to sit down and talk?"

Mavis said bluntly.

The man's voice was deep but cold. "Something happened in the company, and it's a mess now. I've been busy dealing with it recently. I don't know when I'll be free."

"I got evidence to prove that I have nothing to do with this matter. You have been avoiding me. How can I give you the chance?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while. "We'll talk when I'm done."

As soon as he said so, he hung up the phone.

Mavis stood where she was, looking at the peonies in the garden. She though it seemed that she would never see such bright colors again. Distraught, she wanted to relieve the depressed mood.

She wanted to leave, but she seemed to be caught in an endless cycle. The more she wanted to forget, the more memorable she would be.

She suddenly thought of Lyra who was far away abroad, as well as Spencer and Molly.

The cuteness of Spencer and Molly was enough to wash away her sadness.

After thinking about it, Mavis closed the bedroom door and called Lyra.

At this time, it was the night abroad. Lyra had already finished her work and was taking the children to build Lego when she turned her head and the phone rang.

"Hello, Mavis."

"Lyra, haven't called in days. How are you doing?"

Lyra looked at Molly who was happy, and smiled helplessly. "It's okay. I'm just as busy at work. Molly is just as mischievous, and Spencer is still like a grown-up, and there's a new case with Malcolm recently, so everyone is busy."

Mavis couldn't hide her envy. "It's great. I don't have time to think about it when I'm busy."

Hearing her loss, Lyra couldn't help asking her, "Did something happen recently? After you go back, you rarely call me."

Mavis pretended to be strong. "Fortunately, as long as the baby in the womb is safe and sound, it's better than anything else." Having heard that, Lyra had almost been able to determine that something was wrong with Mavis.

However, after several repeated questions, Mavis was unwilling to speak out.

Considering her feelings, Lyra didn't ask any further.

Mavis had always been like this. She looked tough, but she was extremely kind and never took the initiative to harm others.

She was smart enough to see things.

But in the end, she always endured it all by herself.

Lyra knew that persuasion would not work, so she wanted to make her happy, and asked Spencer and Molly to turn on the video to chat with Mavis.

When the two children heard this, they immediately put down the toys in their hands and ran over.

Mavis turned on the video.

Molly looked left and right, and then asked her hesitantly after a while, "Mavis, are you not feeling well? Why do you look bad? Mommy said that complexion is a woman's spirit, which affects the whole temperament."
