"Mavis, don't care about us. You have to take care of yourself. If Anthony makes you angry again, just tell me. It's not like before. You're pregnant."
There was a sudden silence on the other end.
Immediately afterwards, Mavis agreed, sounding very happy.
On the other end of the phone, Malcolm heard everything but remained silent.
Lyra winked to Malcolm and asked him to go to the study to get the documents.
But Malcolm went directly to her, leaned lazily on the sofa, and said childishly, "Lyra, get it yourself. You just chat when I walk in, and ignore me. And now you're asking me to help you with your work."
Lyra glared at him. Why was he acting petty?
It was really difficult to deal with him.
She was in a good mood now and didn't want to argue with Malcolm, so she went to the study to find the documents by herself.
Taking advantage of Lyra's departure, Malcolm suddenly spoke to the phone.
"Mavis, I went to the Callahan family the other day."
Mavis on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and asked a little nervously, "Is something wrong with Anthony?"
"There's nothing wrong with him. It's just a little injury, an attack."
"He... how could..."
"You're not with him now?"
Before Mavis could finish speaking, Malcolm interrupted her directly.
Mavis reacted instantly. "I... I'm not in the Callahan family. I want to go out for a walk... just me..."
"Mavis, you can fool Lyra, but you can't fool me. What's going on with Anthony?"
Just when she was about to speak, Lyra came in and asked with a smile, "What are you two talking about?"
Malcolm chuckled. "Talk a little about your recent routine."
"My routine?"
"Yes, Lyra has been working too hard recently, and she has lost a little weight. It makes me feel distressed to see it."
Lyra touched her cheek. Did she lose weight?
Why didn't she feel it?
Turning her head, she wanted to make a video call with Mavis, "Mavis, I haven't seen you for a long time. Would you like to see if I've lost weight?"
Upon hearing this, Mavis hurriedly said, "Well, Lyra, I still have something to do here. Bye bye."
With that said, the phone was hung up.
Lyra felt strange and didn't ask any more questions, but just glanced at the man next to her with a little curiosity.
Obviously Mavis was still chatting with him just now, so why did she hang up?
Women's intuition was the most accurate.
She always felt that these two people seemed to be hiding something from her.
In the evening, when Lyra finished her work, Malcolm put his arms around her slender waist from behind and rubbed her neck before asking, "Guess where did I go on a mission yesterday?"
Lyra glanced at him strangely, "You are on a mission, so how do I know where you are going?"
Malcolm pinched her ears, "Lyra, you're not cute at all."
Lyra felt still a little strange about what happened during the day today, and when she heard this, she replied, "There are times when I'm cute, but you have no chance."
Malcolm's face turned pale, and his tone softened, "Babe, what's wrong? Do you want to punish me?"
"You are fine."
With the serious expression and voice, "fine" obviously means bad.
Looking at her stubborn appearance, Malcolm probably guessed what she was thinking, and said directly to her, "Do you think Mavis is weird recently? In fact, I went to the Callahan family a few days ago."
Lyra immediately raised her head and looked at him in surprise.
"How is Mavis doing now?"
"I didn't see her. I went to find Jaqueline, and Anthony wasn't there. I finally found him at the South Sea port. Moreover, Jaqueline was dead."
Lyra was slightly shocked.
This happened so suddenly. How could she die suddenly?
