After divorce I am a billionaire novel Chapter 1096

Chapter 1096 Come to snatch the Callahan family's grandson.

Kane's mouth twitched. Was he too obvious? He shook his head solemnly, pretending to be clueless. "No, Mrs. Callahan. Mr. Callahan is so busy everyday. How would he find the time to assign me such a boring task?"

Mavis narrowed her eyes and stared at him skeptically.

Umm...

He seemed like an idiot now; this was not going well.

"Mrs. Callahan, please don't misunderstand me," Kane said with a sigh. "I just had some thoughts today after seeing how much Mr. Callahan has sacrificed for Alistair over the years and couldn't help but speak up."

Mavis remained calm and unimpressed by his words. "I won't deny that Anthony has done some good things as a father," she said coolly, "but he wasn't a good husband to me."

"Are you still hung up on what happened between Mr. Callahan and Jaqueline?" Kane asked tentatively.

"I think you should hear Mr. Callahan's explanation before jumping to conclusions," he added quickly.

Kane wasn't involved in what happened when Jaqueline entered the Callahan Group building; Zack probably knew more about it than him.

But Mavis lowered her eyelashes and asked doubtfully, "Do you really think that someone like him will explain himself?"

Kane fell silent because it was highly unlikely that Anthony would do so - whether it was something bad or good that he did - without being prompted first.

Mavis didn't expect Kane to say. "It doesn't matter anymore since there are thousands of other women like Jaqueline out there."

Anthony's heart wasn't with her no matter what she did or said; it didn't matter how hard she tried.

As they talked, they arrived at the Callahan Residence where Saul greeted them outside upon receiving prior notice from the hospital about Mavis' return home.

"Good afternoon Mrs. Callahan," Saul greeted her respectfully while bowing repeatedly before ushering her inside.

"You didn't have to come all this way back here yourself since we could have sent food over through our maid service instead of making you run back and forth."

She got off the car feeling unhappy and muttering under breaths, "Life is tough when Anthony wants to mess with me."

Saul's face froze momentarily as if unsure how best respond before finally saying, "Paloma instructed us not rush anything on Mr. Callahan's end, so why don't you take lunch first then deliver later? Oh yes! And I almost forgot- Alistair is back home for lunch too."

Mavis finally had a different expression on her face. "Why is Alistair at home? It's not the weekend. He should be in kindergarten."

"Mr. Callahan said you haven't seen Alistair in a few days and must miss him, so he sent the bodyguard to pick up Alistair from kindergarten. In the afternoon, you can go to the hospital with Alistair to take care of Mr. Callahan."

"He planned it well."

With Alistair around, Mavis was more than happy to stay for lunch.

"Mommy!"

Just as they passed through Callahan Residence's front yard garden and hadn't entered the villa hall yet, Alistair's sweet and tender voice came first.

Then Mavis saw Alistair running towards her with short legs flapping and his little hands open, smiling broadly.

Her heart instantly softened as she waited for the little one while being tackled into her arms. His little arms tightly wrapped around her neck.

She lifted Alistair's small butt and held him close. "Have you been listening to your great-grandmother these past few days?"

Alistair rubbed his face against Mavis' neck softly. "Yes! I'm very good!"

She giggled at how cute he was acting.

Paloma sat in a wheelchair pushed by Saul until they were near mother-and-son duo.
