In addition to the pair of blue-colored noble eyes, they could not find a trace of youngster from the man's face. His skin was also much rougher than before, and he even had a beard, like an exotic middle-aged man.
It seemed that he experienced a lot, and looked older.
However, when looking at Lyra, his eyes were still drenched with tenderness and doting.
"Rara, it's been a long time."
Lyra froze in place, staring at him.
Almost a year had passed. She did not expect to see Anthony again. He had changed, and seemed to be much more mature and stable.
After sizing him up for a while, she smiled and said, "It's been a long time, Mr. Callahan."
Anthony was slightly surprised. Because of the way she addressed him, he glanced behind her at Malcolm and understood.
He gently reached out and said expectantly, "After being away for so long, can ... we have a hug?"
Lyra didn't answer, but looked back at Malcolm.
Malcolm bowed his head and did not make a statement. No one could see his look.
In front of him, hugging was not a particularly out-of-the-ordinary action. It didn't matter, right?
With that in mind, she tentatively stepped forward and opened her arms.
But at a distance of one meter from Anthony, her arms were gently bumped from behind.
She turned her head and saw Malcolm walking around her towards Anthony. His face looked grim. Seemingly, he was not too happy and in a position to fight.
On the first day back, Anthony had to be beaten as a welcome gift?
"Honey..."
Before she could finish her words, Lyra saw that Malcolm opened his arms and reluctantly gave Anthony a perfunctory hug.
He said, "She is a married woman. It's not convenient for her to hug you so I will do it for her."
After saying that, he patted Anthony's back heavily with his palms.
Anthony was speechless.
On the faces of both men, there was a very disgusted expression.
Lyra laughed and suddenly felt that they were cute.
"Well, how long are you two going to hold each other? How come it looks like I'm the extra one?"
Malcolm and Anthony immediately let go of each other. Both of them looked sullen and found it hard to get along to the extreme.
Lyra took Malcolm's hand and led him to sit across from Anthony.
"Why do you suddenly want to come back this time?"
Anthony smiled, hiding the loss in his eyes, "It's not sudden. I've been in a foreign country for so long. I always feel I miss something. I'm not quite at ease, so come back to see. A few days ago I sent you a letter. I have said this on the letter. I thought you knew ... "
"You sent a letter?"
Lyra was suspicious and carefully recalled. She seemed to have received a delivery.
"Sorry, I've been busy the last few days, so I'm not available. Eleven helps receive delivery for me, and I did forget to look at it."
Anthony felt relieved and smiled, "It's okay. It's not a big deal."
The three of them exchanged a few more pleasantries.
Lyra: "By the way, do you know about Melissa, the daughter of your family? You've got another sister."
"Melissa?"
Little did Anthony know that in the year he had been teaching abroad in the countryside. He had never inquired about the Callahan family.
He had only inquired about Lyra and was happy to know that Malcolm treated her extremely well.
"She's a contracted actress of Angle Group and a good friend of mine from Frayton orphanage before. She and Keith are ..."
