After divorce I am a billionaire novel Chapter 1126

Chapter 1126 He's Taking the Blame

"No need, it's too late. Grandma is probably asleep by now and I don't want to bother her. Alistair has tutoring tomorrow, so just let Kane take me back to Green Grove Apartment," she said.

She didn't get out of the car and was about to roll up the window when Anthony freed up a hand and pressed against the crack in the window.

"Wait a bit longer before you leave. I have something to tell you," he said.

She nodded and watched as Anthony carried their sleeping son into Callahan Residence's garden, disappearing into the night.

Ten minutes later, Anthony came back.

Kane, who had been sitting in the front seat acting as driver, was kicked out of the car.

The back door opened and Anthony got in. Mavis had been waiting for what felt like forever and caught a whiff of strong tobacco smell. "You smoked during that short time?"

"Yeah," he replied casually. "Don't worry though. I only did it after settling Alistair."

Mavis didn't say anything else but opened the window slightly while deliberately sitting further away from him.

This action seemed to irritate Anthony greatly.

He furrowed his brow tightly with an icy expression on his face. "Am I really that repulsive? Is Moore worth your attention?"

Mavis listened with confusion written all over her face, "What are you talking about?"

The car was small enough for both of them to make eye contact easily. Under streetlights shining through outside the windows, it cast sharp shadows on Anthony's handsome features with deep blue eyes suppressing some kind of emotion inside him.

"Tell me honestly if you like Moore or not."

Mavis laughed at this question, "What are you getting at? Haven't I told you before that we're just good friends?"

"Would good friends hug each other? Would they go home together or worry about each other's safety when apart?" He gritted his teeth while speaking lowly through them.

Mavis felt cold inside but also found it amusing, "Because he's like an older brother figure for me! Isn't hugging your brother normal?"

"Is that normal?"

"You hugged Jaqueline before too because she's like your little sister! You've gotten close with her too! Why can't I be close with Moore then? If you don't believe my relationship with him is purely platonic, then do I have reason to suspect there might be something more between Jaqueline and your?"

Anthony's expression froze immediately, "That's different."

"How is it different?" Mavis glared at him angrily while speaking louder than before, "Both of us know exactly who Jaqueline looks like! Do dare tell me that there hasn't been any moment where you liked Jaqueline or thought about being together!"

Anthony's face turned pale and his eyes darkened slightly. "So, you think this way because you like Moore and want to be with him after the divorce?"

What did this have to do with anything? She was clearly talking about Jaqueline's situation. Why did he bring up Moore again?

"I really don't understand your thought process. Think whatever you want." She gave up arguing.

At that moment, her phone in her pocket rang.

It was an international call from Moore's sister.

"I'm going out to take a call."

She got off the car and walked alone to the wall to answer the phone.

Kane had no choice but to walk back disappointedly since he didn't want to disturb Mavis while she was on the phone. He sat in the driver's seat and saw Anthony leaning against his seat with his eyes closed as if resting, but he frowned tightly with a bad expression on his face.

"Mr. Callahan, did you just fight with Mrs. Callahan?" Kane asked when he turned around.

Anthony covered his forehead without saying anything.

The two of them were too loud just now; even Kane outside could hear some key words. He sighed, "Although Miss Jaqueline has passed away, in Mrs. Callahan's eyes she is still almost responsible for causing her difficult childbirth at that time. It is a thorn in her heart! You know that very well! Why did you mention Miss Jaqueline again?"

Anthony was speechless, "She brought it up first."
