The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin) novel Chapter 1073

Chapter 1073 Kissed Her While Calling

Anthony didn't look surprised when he saw Mavis appear at Lyre Spiti. Instead, the little boy he was holding in his arms jumped up with joy.

"Mommy!"

Alistair broke free from his father's grip and ran towards Mavis, hugging her tightly. "Mommy, don't you want to see me? Why haven't you come to see me these past few days?"

Mavis kissed his little face and rubbed his short hair. "Of course I do. I think about you every night and have trouble sleeping because of it. But there were some special circumstances that prevented me from coming to see you these past few days. I'm sorry."

He didn't press for more information and simply said, "It's okay. We're together now."

Alistair's face with its bright blue eyes curved into a smile that could melt anyone's heart.

As soon as she saw her son, Mavis felt weak in the knees. "Come on, let's go try the fish I cooked for you."

Anthony stood still for a moment watching their backs as they walked away.

Ever since seeing Mavis again, their son seemed to have completely forgotten about Anthony's existence and happily followed after her without even looking back.

He shook his head lightly with a helpless tone of voice, "What an ungrateful brat."

"That's not fair," Molly said suddenly appearing out of nowhere with her high ponytail framing her youthful face. She was giving off an air of confidence due to attending military school.

"What's not fair?" Anthony turned around to look at her.

"Milk tofu was born from my godmother's womb. There was still an umbilical cord attached! How much hardship did she endure just so she could give birth? He treats godmother well because he owes it to her."

Anthony smirked slightly instead of arguing back this time but asked instead, "Where's Spencer?"

"He has a city-level math competition next week so he is studying in his room right now doing practice problems," Molly replied calmly while rolling up some meatballs for grilling later on outside by the charcoal fire pit.

Even though Spencer had won national level competitions before without breaking a sweat, but having only one city-level competition made him study hard, which meant that he probably didn't want to see Anthony who would bother him unnecessarily.

Anthony knew what was going on but decided not call out Spencer's bluff, "How has he been feeling lately?"

"He seems fine. Heart rate, blood pressure are all stable according Uncle Jimmy. He says as long as he doesn't engage in too much strenuous activity or get startled easily, then taking medicine regularly should be enough."

Anthony nodded relievedly before saying, "Let's stop standing here then. Go grill some food over there."

They were going to barbecue over charcoal fire pits tonight.

Malcolm used a charcoal fire made from stacked stones, which gave off a camping-like atmosphere in the backyard.

Alistair was completely focused on Mavis, as if he had forgotten that his father was even there.

Mavis took great care of Alistair, blowing on the grilled pork belly to make sure it wasn't too hot before feeding it to her son.

Anthony looked serious and reminded them, "He's already five years old. Feeding him bite by bite will only spoil him. Let him feed himself."

Before anyone could even taste the delicious pork belly, Alistair's feeding frenzy was stopped short. He pouted and complained, "Daddy, you don't love me anymore."

Lyra chimed in with support for Mavis, "Mavis just came back from overseas not long ago and probably hasn't fed Alistair very much yet. It won't spoil him if she feeds him once or twice."

Anthony didn't say anything else after that.

Mavis gave Lyra a grateful look and continued to feed Alistair while he chewed away happily.

The sound of sizzling charcoal filled the air as Lyra casually asked about their plans if Mavis decided to stay in Crana for a while longer, "If you plan on staying here for some time, news of your survival can't be kept hidden forever. What are your plans?"

Mavis hesitated and looked at Anthony silently.

Anthony slowly tasted the freshly grilled meat skewer in his hand before replying nonchalantly, "I haven't thought about it yet. We'll talk about it when the time comes."

Upon hearing this response from Anthony, Mavis furrowed her brows slightly.
