After divorce I am a billionaire novel Chapter 1134

Chapter 1134 Actually Pinched Anthony's Butt

Mavis swallowed her saliva and slowly lowered her eyes, avoiding direct eye contact with Anthony's penetrating gaze.

She didn't know what to say, so she turned her back to him and lay down.

She agreed to his proposal of leaving after she rested for the night.

Although they slept on the same bed, it felt like there was a great divide between them - unfamiliar and distant.

Mavis curled up at the edge of the bed. The soft pillow and pure white sheets had a faint fragrance, while the high-quality memory foam mattress allowed her body to relax completely.

Feeling too tired, she fell asleep without realizing it. During this time, Anthony quietly leaned against the headboard and worked on his iPad without disturbing her in any way.

He knew she was exhausted but also aware that she wasn't entirely comfortable with him yet. He would find a way to give her all the security and space she needed.

Ding Dong -

His phone beeped with a message notification. Anthony opened his iPad and chuckled softly after reading its contents.

The screen displayed Chad's name along with an emoji of a Shiba Inu dog.

Chad: [So? How did using Malcolm's method work out for you in wooing your wife?]

Anthony replied diplomatically: [It went okay.]

Chad: [I helped you out big time bro! You gotta show me some love!]

Anthony quickly typed into his keyboard: [I heard Keira has been eyeing that blue crystal mermaid necklace from ANA Jewelry Auction recently. I'll buy it for you if you borrow it to make a gift of it back home?]

Chad: [That jewelry set is not cheap at all - over 10 million dollars! It's one-of-a-kind collector-grade jewelry worldwide... You're really willing to spend so much money on me?]

Anthony furrowed his brows as he read Chad's message; something about it rubbed him off wrong. What did he mean by "you're really willing?" It sounded like he was being neglected or something...

Anthony responded sarcastically: ["When has Callahan family ever been stingy? If you don't want it then forget about it."]

[Of course I want it! You're rich enough anyway. I'm just happy taking advantage of your generosity haha~]

[Wait wait wait!]

Chad suddenly realized something as he typed frantically into his phone keyboard,

[How do YOU know that Keira likes that jewelry set?!]

Anthony laughed at how easily amused Chad could be sometimes...

With malice aforethought, Anthony teased him by replying cryptically:

[Guess.]

After sending this message, he locked his iPad screen and turned off the notification sound, ignoring all of Chad's bombardment of messages.

With a turn of her head, the golden tresses at the end of Mavis' long hair had somehow fallen onto his arm.

The soft strands of hair were like being tickled by a kitten, making his heart itch.

It was a wonderful feeling.

He looked at Mavis's sleeping profile and had a moment of realization.

Since when did he start to gradually pay less attention to Lyra and have his gaze constantly fixed on Mavis instead?

He carefully lay down beside Mavis, encircling her soft waist from behind, and slowly closed his eyes, sleeping beside her.

It had been so long since Mavis had slept beside Anthony, and in her drowsiness, she almost felt like she had returned to five years ago, when she used to eat, sleep, and spend every moment with Anthony.

During those days, they were very harmonious, with an unspoken understanding and subtle emotions.

The familiar smell of tobacco on the man's body entered Mavis' nostrils, gradually awakening her drowsy thoughts.
