When they were chatting in the dining room, Mavis quickly went downstairs.
The red ribbon around her neck added a bit of charm to her business attire. It was not consistent at all, but it was like the finishing touch, which was particularly noticeable.
Rebecca saw it from afar.
"It's the first time I see Mavis wearing a silk scarf. It's so gentle. Mavis is tall, and looks like a flight attendant."
Timothy looked back and nodded in admiration, "It's really good. Rebecca, you can learn more about how to dress from her. She can wear professional clothes with such a charm. You have to learn."
Rebecca gagged him, "Timothy, you're so annoying. It's all about me."
The atmosphere between siblings was harmonious.
Only Anthony lowered his eyes and ate the vegetables. He had no special reaction to Mavis's dress, "Come here. We're waiting for you."
"Okay..."
Mavis pinched her palm, walked over quickly, sat on her dining chair, and began to eat without saying a word.
As if she had no appetite, she just stuffed the food into her mouth. Then she said she was full, and went back to the room first.
Rebecca felt vaguely that something was wrong.
"Anthony, Mavis seems to be in a bad mood tonight. You came back with her. Did you quarrel?"
Anthony chuckled, "No, why quarrel? Eat your food."
"Then why is she unhappy? She said she was full after eating so little." Rebecca asked worriedly.
"How could I know?"
His tone was casual and extraordinarily indifferent.
Rebecca was very upset and complained for Mavis, "Why are you like this? As your wife, Mavis, of course, you should pay attention to her mood, enlighten her, and make her happy."
Anthony was a little impatient with her arguing, and in the end he didn't say anything but said, "Okay, I'll go see her after dinner."
"Yeah, you should."
Rebecca always felt that something was wrong with the couple, like there was some secrets they didn't know.
She asked worriedly, "Anthony, I have been with Mavis for a while. She is really good. She likes you very much, takes care of you. There are not many good women like this. If you don't cherish her, just wait and regret it!"
Anthony frowned slightly, felt a little unhappy, and deliberately picked up a piece of fat and oily braised pork and stuffed it into her plate.
"Eat your food. Why can't you stop your noisy mouth with so many dishes?"
Rebecca snorted and saw the fat he put into the plate. Her face suddenly turned bitter, "It's so greasy. I won't eat this!"
Anthony whispered, "No picky eaters."
Vengeful Anthony!

After the meal, Anthony really went back to the bedroom.
The bedroom door was opened.
With her back to the door, Mavis was hunched over, preparing a quilt on the sofa.
Hearing the voice, Mavis turned her head, "I'll sleep on the sofa tonight. I've changed the sheet and duvet for you, so you can rest assured on the bed."
Anthony pursed his thin lips and closed the door.
"Why did you eat so little tonight? And you looked sad and made Rebecca suspicious."
Mavis turned pale.
When she heard the first of his sentence, she was a little surprised, thinking that he had paid attention to her appetite, but she didn't expect it was because of Rebecca.
She lowered her head, turned slowly, bowed slightly and apologized, not looking at him.
"I'm sorry. I don't have any appetite tonight. I'll pay attention next time. I'll try to hide my emotions better."
Anthony looked at her who bowed her head pleasing, and was inexplicably angry.
No one knew the reason, but he clearly wanted Mavis to be obedient and fulfill her obligations in the agreement.
But seeing that she really became obedient and submissive, not as lively and individualistic as a few days ago, he felt uncomfortable.
