Chapter 1021 His Spiritual Sustenance
Anthony, who came out of the conference room, returned to the top floor office with ease.
Through the glass door, the baby's cries could be faintly heard.
Anthony couldn't help stepping into the office.
Skillfully, he took out the milk maker, milk powder, and feeding bottle, and Anthony got it done in a few minutes.
Alis was crying loudly. Anthony carried him up and coaxed him. When he passed the bottle to the baby's mouth, the crying stopped.
The little baby closed his eyes and was suckling obediently. He was really cute.
Except Spencer and Molly, Anthony didn't like kids at first, but Alis was different, because he was his and Mavis' baby.
"Crying so loudly. You will definitely like to be mischievous in the future."
He must be taught well.
It would be the most worry-free for a boy to be like Spencer, with a super high IQ, but a quiet personality and not causing trouble.
...
Half an hour later.
Anthony returned to the meeting room on time and straightened the collar of his suit expressionlessly, "Continue the meeting."
Everyone looked at each other, curious about where he had been for half an hour.
They heard that he raised his son in the company. Could it be that he went to feed him?
...
When Alis was not around, Paloma was restless all day, for fear that something will happen to the baby.
Anthony didn't like to go back to Callahan Residence anymore, so she can only come to the company to see the baby in person.
Zack led Paloma upstairs himself.
Paloma asked, "How is Anthony's work status these two days? Has Alis suffered?"
Zack smiled, "Don't worry. Mr. Callahan is in good condition all day long with his son. Although he is as indifferent as always and it is the first time to take care of a baby, he is very attentive."
"How do you say that?"
Zack thought for a while, and began to give an example in a serious manner. "Mr. Callahan sets alarm clocks himself when Alis needs to have milk. Even if he is in an important meeting, he must pause to feed Alis."
Paloma breathed a sigh of relief.
Anthony was sensible and finally knew how to treat his son wholeheartedly.
Zack continued, "Yesterday, the director of the business department went up to the top floor to find Mr. Callahan. As soon as he opened the door and walked in, Mr. Callahan quickly smelled the smell of cigarettes on him, and immediately asked him out, for fear if the baby smells it, it will affect his respiratory tract."
Paloma listened carefully and asked, "And then? He punished the director of the business department?"
"No, Mr. Callahan is not so harsh on the employees that they are not allowed to smoke. He asked him to explain the work to me first, and I will pass it on to him."
Paloma nodded, thinking that he was pretty good at handling official affairs, with a sense of propriety.
She asked again, "What about changing Alis' diapers? Did he forget because he was busy with work?"
Zack couldn't help laughing. "Mr. Callahan seems to be able to distinguish the difference between the cryings of Alis now. Every time Alis cries, he immediately goes to change the diaper. This is the first time that Mr. Callahan is so careful."
Paloma finally relaxed.
Not only that, she soon discovered that Anthony seemed to regard Alis as his spiritual sustenance.
And he was his only sustenance.
The death of Mavis had a huge impact on Anthony.
He regretted it, and the sense of guilt in his heart was very deep.
Only by raising Alis well can he have the courage to meet Mavis.
Thinking of this, Paloma let out a long sigh.
Just as she was about to reach the door of the office, Paloma turned to leave.
She was stopped by Zack. "Mrs. Callahan, aren't you going to go in and see Alis?"
"Forget it. He has to take care of the baby, and also has to deal with the tedious affairs of the whole group. How can he have more energy to deal with me, a miserable old woman? I'd better not bother him during working hours."
Zack didn't say anything but said, "Then I'll take you to the garage. If you are still afraid of disturbing Mr. Callahan's work next time, you can come here in the evening."
"Okay." Paloma also felt that the evening time was more appropriate.

Two days later, Lyra, Malcolm and their kids also returned to Crana.
Lyra was almost done with the paperwork for the international division.
Spencer's study was not affected. Because he did well in exams, he can be recommended to the best primary school as soon as he returned to Crana.
Molly's militarized school experience was stopped immediately.
Malcolm was thinking about sending her directly to the small training camp of the army, and when she grew up in the future, she will be sent directly to a military academy.
After they returned, the first thing Lyra did was to negotiate another cooperation with Callahan Group.
In terms of the cooperation, Lyra did not allow any employees to deal with it, but she personally worked on it, and went to the president's office of Callahan Group from time to time.
After all, little Alis was raised in Anthony's office. Every time Lyra went there, she would hug the little Alis who was raised healthy by Anthony. Then she would take a few photos and record videos.
When she was coaxing the little Alis, Anthony was either checking the cooperation terms or approving the project plan, which was clearly arranged by Lyra, and there was no time to wonder if Lyra was acting strangely.
What was more, Anthony himself will not have any defense against Lyra.
The final draft of a certain project plan was finalized, and Anthony read it carefully three times before using a red ink pen to circle a few planning points that he disagreed with.
"Lyra, none of these points are suitable for the cooperation project between us. There are too many uncertainties, and the losses may only increase. Should we ask the department to approve it a few more times and choose the one that is the most suitable?"
Lyra glanced casually, just finished recording the video and put away the phone calmly.
"Okay, since you think it's not right, then I'll go back and let the employees of this group of project discuss it again. And I'll give you a new plan in two days."
Anthony raised his eyebrows and chuckled, asking tentatively, "Based on the capabilities of the Lloyd's Corp, the employees are all overseas returnees or experienced professionals. They shouldn't have made so many mistakes in the proposal. What happened to you recently?"
Anthony was a little skeptical about the cooperation that couldn't be decided after so many days.
Lyra sighed without panic, "My problem may be that I have too many things to do recently. And I am a little powerless, so that group of employees are lazy. I will definitely scold them when I go back."
Anthony said, "What are you up to? If you need my help, feel free to ask."
Although he spoke to her in the same soft tone as before, Lyra still felt that he had more sense of proportion than before.
This was good.
Making some random excuse, she left the top office of the Callahan Group.
As soon as she entered the elevator, she immediately tapped phone and sent photos and videos of baby Alis to an unknown number.
The other side quickly replied: [Fatter, skin is also fairer.]
Lyra showed relief and replied:[I can see that he is very attentive, and he really loves this baby.]
After she sent this text message, there was a delay of two seconds before the other side replied: [Belated father's love. How long can he last? I don't know if it's too late.]
In this matter, Lyra was not the person involved after all, let alone predict what will happen in the future, so she can only try her best to persuade the woman on the phone who missed her baby so much.
A few minutes later, Lyra's cell phone received another text message, still from the familiar but unfamiliar number, but this time the subject was changed.
"Lyra, I've found my mother. Thank you for helping her get out of the marital misery. Just to be on the safe side, I'm going to take her to another place."
It was to not be found by someone.
Lyra was walking in the Callahan Group parking lot, and was about to type to reply to the message, when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
"Who are you talking to?"
