When Lyra sat down, there was a little light in Mavis' eyes.
"Lyra, you're here. What would you like to drink?"
Although they were in a coffee shop, Mavis only had a glass of warm water at hand.
Lyra raised her hand and called the waiter, "Two glasses of iced Americano, thank you."
"One is fine. I just drink warm water."
Mavis stopped her just in time.
Facing Lyra's surprised gaze, Mavis gently stroked her belly, and said with great difficulty, "Lyra, I... I'm pregnant."
Lyra was slightly taken aback.
"When did this happen?"
"Three days ago, I went to the hospital for an examination and found it. The doctor said that it's 45 days old and it's a preliminary embryo. This was thanks to Molly and Spencer. I went to attend the parent-teacher meeting. On the way back, Molly clamored for durian. At that time, just thinking about that smell makes me sick."
Lyra could almost guess what happened later, and chuckled, "Did Spencer and Molly tell you that you might be pregnant and asked you to go to the hospital for a physical examination?"
Mavis nodded.
"The two kids are really smart. They are so young, but they look like little adults. If it weren't for them, I would still be in the dark."
As Mavis said, she didn't know whether her expression was sad or surprised.
She took a sip of water, trying to suppress the complicated and strange emotions.
This series of actions did not escape Lyra's eyes.
Lyra shook her head and sighed, "You just like to endure everything. What's the use of digesting it by yourself after being wronged? You should vent it and let him know your dissatisfaction."
Mavis shook her head and smiled wryly, "What's the use of venting? There is no way to solve the problem. He doesn't like me. I can do nothing. This has become a deadlock until now, and can't be untied."
"Are you so sure?"
Lyra asked back, and her tone already showed her exasperation.
Mavis didn't answer. She was clutching the water glass, when her knuckles began to turn slightly white.
Lyra glanced at her. "Are you going to hurt yourself just like that?"
"I... I was going to talk to him the other day. I was outside his study, and heard him talking to Jaqueline on the phone. I didn't realize that they'd never lost touch. Even... he's been quietly giving Jaqueline gifts."
Lyra was confused.
She only knew that Anthony didn't treat Mavis very well, but she didn't expect Anthony to have a new sweetheart?
Lyra, who was a little angry, laughed directly. "Is there something wrong with his mind?"
Mavis just shook her head.
"Lyra, do you think this child should be kept? If I keep it, Anthony probably won't agree. If I don't, but I like children very much, so I'm a bit reluctant."
She was not the person involved, so it was not suitable for Lyra to make suggestions.
Lyra asked her to stay abroad for a while, and then consider whether to tell Anthony about the child.
Mavis thought about it and agreed.
She wanted to go out and relax.
In the Callahan family, both grandma and Rebecca treated her very well, but she couldn't be happy because of Anthony.
...
Soon.
Spencer and Molly had winter break.
Lyra and Malcolm's work was not completely over, and they had to accompany Mavis, so they planed to take over the two children.
When they heard that they were going to see their parents, the children were very excited.
As soon as they got off the plane, they couldn't wait to rush towards Lyra and Malcolm.
"Daddy! Mommy!"
Mavis, who stood silently by the side, was moved again.
Molly still remembered the surprise that Malcolm said.
She had been curious for so long.
She practically pestered Malcolm all the way, wondering what the surprise was.
Chad came abroad with them and took on the job of driving.
