The man behind her ignored her accusing gaze and snatched her phone without a word.
"You, you give it back to me!"
Moore quickly realized something was wrong on the phone, "Mavis, is there someone next to you?"
Mavis went to snatch the phone, but before she could say anything on the line, Anthony had already put the receiver to his ear.
"Who are you?"
He questioned with a calm voice.
Moore was stunned, "Who are you? I am Mavis's boyfriend, and if you hurt her, I will not let you go!"
Mavis was confused.
"Boyfriend?"
Anthony furrowed his brows, a chill rising in the depths of his eyes, and a smirk tugging at the corners of his lips. "How coincidental! I am her husband."
"You, you are..."
The phone was hung up by Anthony.
He grabbed Mavis' wrist again and looked down at her, questioning, "Boyfriend, really?"
Mavis avoided eye contact with him, her gaze dodging and lacking confidence. "This has nothing to do with you," she said.
"What do you mean? From what I heard on the phone just now, are you planning to take our son over there and raise him with that man?"
He laughed in anger, "I'm not even dead yet and you're already looking for a stepfather for our son? Or was it because of him that you faked your death and left?"
What did this have to do with anything?
Mavis couldn't understand his thought process, but she didn't want to explain either because she felt the same jealousy in her heart and was very unhappy.
"Why should I explain to you? It was clearly you who ignored the care of our son for those women and even wanted to find him a stepmother. What right do you have to question me? And why are you staring at me with such a scrutinizing gaze as if I'm a criminal?"
Anthony laughed again, "Which women? When did I ever say I wanted to find a stepmother for our son?"
Mavis was too lazy to argue with him, "It's up to you whether you acknowledge it or not. Anyway, you haven't changed in all these years."
When Jaqueline was brought into the Callahan Group, almost all employees could see that there was something more than just a professional relationship between Anthony and Jaqueline. They could tell that Anthony seemed to have feelings for Jaqueline.
Except for Anthony himself who denied it and insisted that she was like his sister.
Well, a scumbag was just someone who had many younger sisters.
Her heart was cold, and she looked away towards the "exit" sign in the corner.
Anthony pulled her forward and said, "We need evidence for everything. Don't go around accusing people without proof."
"It's none of my business. Please talk about the divorce and child custody issues, Mr. Callahan."
Anthony closed his eyes, and tightened his hands around her waist, "I will talk to you, but not now, let's go home first."
"Go... go home? Huh?"
Before she could react, the man suddenly bent down, carried her on his shoulder and took her away.
The pressure on her abdomen was unbearable, and her head was spinning. She struggled frantically and punched Anthony's waist and back with fists.
"Put me down!"
Anthony stopped, and actually put her down this time. Surprisingly obedient?
However, Mavis's thoughts were shattered as soon as they came into being. Anthony grabbed her with one hand, pulled off the dark tie with one hand, and neatly tied her hands to prevent her from struggling too much before carrying her on his shoulder again.
Mavis was so angry that her chest was about to explode, "Are you crazy? Let go of me!"
Always acting stubbornly, only caring about his own happiness without any regard for her feelings.
Anthony ignored her completely, his arm wrapped around her knee pit to prevent her from struggling and getting hurt.
Alistair was stunned to see the two of them return to the waiting room looking like this.
"Daddy, don't bully mommy! Daddy, you're bad!"
Anthony glanced at his son from afar and ordered, "Take Mr. Alistair back to Callahan Residence."
"Huh?" Alistair was confused. "Mommy, Daddy, aren't you going back?"
Anthony didn't explain and turned around to leave.
"Mommy!"
Alistair wanted to follow, but the bodyguard stopped him firmly. "Mr. Alistair, please don't follow them. Mr. Callahan hasn't seen his wife for many years and probably has a lot to say to her alone. Please don't disturb them."
