With bitterness in his throat, Anthony hung his head in frustration.
Faced with Spencer's accusations, he was speechless.
"Sorry..."
Thousands of words were not enough to express the surging guilt in his heart, and his thin lips trembled several times. Finally he could only say this word.
Spencer snorted, "If an apology is useful, why do we need the police?"
Anthony stood by the hospital bed. His throat choked with discomfort, and his eyes were red.
Spencer noticed his expression and pursed his lips, "Actually, I'm not such a stingy person. I know it's been so long, and you never thought of harming me. I just want to tell you. Be willing to spend money for me, and you must try your best to make me happy."
His childish voice sounded very arrogant.
Anthony nodded firmly, looked at the list of plans for the renovation of the aquarium in his hand, and showed no temper.
"You're right, as long as it can make you happy. Even if it's because of this aquarium, I should go bankrupt, I will definitely complete the aquarium you planned."
Spencer waved his hand impatiently, "Go on with your work. Don't bother me."
"Okay, have a good rest." Anthony restrained his brief gaffe, took the planning paper, and turned to leave.
As soon as he left the door of the ward, he met Malcolm in the corridor, who had returned from buying durian.
Malcolm saw his red eyes from a distance, and jokingly said in a low voice, "Why do you look like you are about to cry to death? You were scolded and cried by my son? You can't even win a five-year-old kid? When is your enduring capacity so weak?"
Anthony did not explain, folded the plan sheet in his hand, and carefully put it into the lining of the suit.
"If you have nothing to ask me more, I'll continue cleaning the toilet."
Malcolm looked indifferent and nodded.
Anthony bypassed him and left, and heard what he said again, "Now that you are in a relationship, you have to take care of her, and don't let her down."
Anthony turned his head suddenly, "What do you mean?" Did Mavis say something to Lyra?
"Literally, the last time we went to the aquarium, I saw that you didn't say a few words to that woman from beginning to end. You were very indifferent, but she was staring at you with infatuation. We're all men. How could I not understand?"
Anthony breathed a sigh of relief.
It looked like Mavis wasn't stupid enough to gossip behind his back.
"Mr. Malcolm, rest assured. I will be responsible for her if I choose to fall in love with her."
Malcolm had no expression. It was someone else's business, so he won't ask too much. He just saw Lyra and that woman were very close last time, and they had a good chat, so he only said a few more words.
...
Mavis stayed in the room and was bored all day.
Rebecca didn't go out either, chatting with her and accompanying for a day.
In the evening, when Anthony came home for dinner, Timothy, Rebecca and Mavis were already waiting for him at the dinner table.
Thinking of the kiss last night, Mavis was staring at him without blinking.
He didn't seem to see her at all, so he went straight to the main seat of the dinning room and sat down, picked up his cutlery, and said casually, "Let's eat."
There was only the sound of moving the cutlery in the dining room.
After dinner, Anthony walked upstairs with Mavis.
Since there were always servants when they passed by, the two didn't say a word.
Standing in front of the bedroom door, Anthony stopped, "I still have a lot of official business to deal with at night. You need to rest early. Don't wait for me."
"Hey?"
When Mavis turned around and wanted to ask, he had already turned around and went to the stairs, all the way up to the study, walking without looking back, and not giving her a chance to speak at all.
Was he still angry?
