After divorce I am a billionaire novel Chapter 1088

Chapter 1088 He is a Poor Child that Nobody Wants.

The gaze between the two men met, sparks flying between them.

Anthony squinted his cold eyes, a surge of anger erupting in his eyes.

Although Moore had confidence, he couldn't resist Anthony's strong aura. In the end, he put down his glasses and covered up his fear before turning back to continue processing the fresh shrimp.

Under low pressure, Anthony's hand was tightly clenched behind him with knuckles and bulging veins on his arm.

After a while, he let go of his hand and walked straight out of the apartment building.

With a loud bang, the door closed too hard that it seemed like the whole building shook along with it.

Alistair was scared and shuddered in fear. Mavis immediately hugged him to comfort him before going out of the bedroom to check what happened. Only Moore remained behind.

She asked, "Did he just leave?"

Moore smiled innocently, "I think so."

"Why did he close the door so hard? He seems like suppressing something. What were you guys talking about just now?"

Moore looked innocent again, "Just some casual talk. I don't know what happened to Mr. Callahan. Suddenly he got so angry."

Mavis looked at the closed door thoughtfully but didn't say anything more. Moore continued, "Don't worry about him anymore. You can play with your child for a while longer while I quickly prepare dinner."

...

Downstairs from their apartment building.

Anthony sat back in his car feeling suffocated as he lit up a cigarette.

Kane sitting in front was surprised, "Mr. Callahan! Alistair is still upstairs. Why are you smoking now?"

Anthony said nothing as thin lips parted slightly before exhaling smoke rings into thin air around him. His long lashes drooped low, casting shadows beneath them, giving no hint as to what might be running through this man's mind at present moment.

Kane tentatively continued asking, "Are you... not planning on going back inside? Leaving Alistair and Mrs. Callahan alone with Moore? Aren't you…giving up your position by doing that?"

Anthony frowned, feeling agitated inside without any reason whatsoever. Kane noticed this sudden change in mood, quickly changing tack, "But Alistair is clever enough. Mrs. Callahan cares most for his well-being. With Alistair there, Moore should know how much distance needs maintaining."

Still silent, Anthony smoked away quietly swallowing clouds of smoke.

His chest felt tight. He knew that things between himself and Mavis were not right. As compensation for being wrong earlier, he wanted to let her go completely but seeing another man hovering around her made him feel uneasy even though they had agreed upon certain terms beforehand.

He didn't want to break any promises made earlier which left only one option -out of sight, out of mind!

He rubbed his forehead wearily with one hand. "Drive. Let's go back to the company."

"Got it."

Kane didn't dare to delay and quickly started the car, leaving the narrow street.

On the way, Kane occasionally glanced at Anthony's face in the rearview mirror.

After much hesitation, he couldn't help but ask, "Sir, have you ever thought that you are so conflicted and distressed now because you're jealous? Although you agreed to Mrs. Callahan's divorce request, you don't want to let go."

Why not follow his heart and talk things out or apologize with Mrs. Callahan for a reconciliation?

He refused to back down just because of a man's so-called pride.

But Kane could only think this in his mind without saying it out loud.

Anthony wasn't angry either. He turned his head and looked outside the window at the scenery constantly retreating behind them as he casually asked, "What makes you think I'm jealous?"

It was just a contractual marriage at first; they only pretended to be together until Alistair came along for real.

Kane said, "Don't tell me that you haven't noticed yourself? You actually care about Mrs. Callahan very much. When she had difficulties during childbirth before, you were devastated. It was only for Alistair's sake that forced yourself to pick up again."

"When we found out that Mrs. Callahan is still alive and planned on running away with Alistair, you went crazy trying to stop her from leaving."
