Sweet Flash Marriage with the Restrained Tycoon (Isabelle and Damien) novel Chapter 699

Chapter 699 The Ten Minutes

“Really?”

“Yes.”

Anthony’s answer made Daisy grin.

“See? I’ve got some talent after all.”

“You certainly do.”

His completely serious response sent Daisy’s mind straight into the gutter again.

“Mr. Vale, Lydia is here.” Thomas knocked on the door.

Right on the dot. Half an hour, exactly.

Anthony looked at Daisy. “You sure you want to see her?”

“Might as well. Otherwise, she’ll be waiting for you every day, and it’ll look like you slept with her and skipped town without paying.”

Anthony frowned and flicked her forehead.

Daisy laughed, “Figure of speech. Don’t take it so seriously.”

Lydia walked in. The first thing she saw was Daisy sitting on Anthony’s lap. He was feeding her grapes with a little fork.

“You have ten minutes. Then my wife needs to go home.” Anthony didn’t look at her. He held a grape to Daisy’s lips.

Daisy scrolled through her phone and ate the grape without missing a beat.

Lydia’s heart had already frozen over, but she hadn’t forgotten why she’d come.

“Anthony.”

“Mr. Vale,” Anthony emphasized.

Lydia’s throat tightened. Her hands curled into fists.

She stood in front of them, a desk between them. Anthony didn’t offer her a seat.

“Mr. Jackman was out of line about what happened last night. I apologize on his behalf.” Lydia swallowed hard, watching him.

Anthony’s eyes were only on Daisy.

When Daisy needed to spit out a grape seed, he held out his hand to catch it.

Lydia took a quiet breath, forcing down the emotion rising in her chest. “Mr. Vale, what do I have to do to get those projects back?”

“What projects?” His voice was mild.

“Don’t play dumb. I know I wronged you back then. Last night was nothing, just a misunderstanding.”

Anthony set down the fork. His gaze flicked to her–and stopped on her hand, pressed to her lower belly.

“Sit down.”

Lydia blinked. She didn’t sit. “Just tell me what you want. Want me to disappear? I will. I’ll never show my face again. Or do you want me dead?”

Tears streamed down her face.

Not over the projects. Over the way he looked at her now, or rather, the way he didn’t. This was what it felt

like when love was gone. When you went from being the apple of his eye to a stranger.

Anthony’s laugh was cold. “I d Anthony’s laugh was cold. I don’t have the energy for that. If I wanted to ruin you, you wouldn’t be standing here today. You should be asking yourself who else Mr. Jackman h

pissed off.”

“Who else could it be?”

“If it were me, he’d be fertilizer by now.” Anthony glanced at his watch. “Ten minutes.”

Lydia knew he

Vasn’t lying.

If not him, then who?

That night, the only people in that room were Anthony, Joseph, and the florist.

Lydia’s face went pale. Joseph?

No way. It hadn’t even affected his business. They’d tipped the staff generously on their way out. This was too petty for a man like him. Wasn’t it?

Thomas appeared at exactly ten minutes. “Ms. Hawthorne, this way.”

Lydia looked at Daisy one last time, then dropped her gaze and left.

The door clicked shut behind her.

Daisy scrambled off Anthony’s lap.

That had been weird. Sitting on his lap, eating grapes, acting like everything was normal.

But he’d pulled her onto him. When Lydia walked in, Daisy had no choice but to play along.

“You did all that just to show off for your ex? How old are you? You’re married.”
