Anthony keenly noticed her gaze and narrowed his eyes.
He coughed on purpose.
Mavis was so frightened that she instantly regained her senses, making herself look embarrassed as if she had done something bad.
The wrist holding the glass shook uncontrollably.
"Sorry!"
The transparent drops of water overflowed from Anthony's lips, sliding down his sharp jawline, all the way to his Adam's apple and clavicle.
That string of crystals, moving with his breathing, made him look sexier and more lustful.
"I'm sorry. I'm really so sorry. I didn't mean it. I'll wipe it off for you."
Mavis felt guilty and insane, like a beast.
Anthony was so injured that his handsome face was beaten with wounds but she could still imagine wildly his Adam's apple when he was drinking.
The tips of her ears instantly turned red. She hurriedly took a tissue and helped Anthony wipe off the water stains.
The fingertips could occasionally touch the skin between his neck, which was soft and warm.
As soon as she raised her head and met Anthony's scrutinizing gaze, Mavis felt ashamed, and immediately retracted her hand like there was an electric shock.
"Okay...Okay, I wipe it up..."
Anthony stared at her with a pair of blue eyes, "You don't need to bother yourself to do these things in the future. There are servants at home. You can just use Callahan Residence as your residence. I won't interfere with what you want to do during the day."
Mavis lowered her eyes, "Dylan has already told me, I am your personal maid. As a maid, it is my duty to take care of you when you are injured. Otherwise the other Callahans should be suspicious."
He almost forgot about it.
Because Rebecca asked about it at the dinner table, and his relationship with Mavis was uncertain at the time, he casually said she was a private maid.
The marriage certificate had now been obtained.
Mavis was his nominal wife during the year, even if it was only for one year.
"I mishandled this matter. Because of the sudden marriage, I didn't disclose it to the Callahan family. You should give this matter a buffer period, and I will find a suitable time to reveal your identity after a while."
Mavis lowered her head sadly.
"In fact, it doesn't matter if it's not public. Anyway, the agreement is only for one year, and we will divorce when the time is up."
"Yes, a year is not too long or too short. As my legal wife who is married in a hidden marriage this year, you should enjoy the treatment of being Mrs. Callahan in Callahan Residence."
Not a maid who can point fingers at her.
"You don't have to worry about this, just listen to me."
His attitude was strong. Mavis said nothing and took the glass away.
...
Because of the fractures in his left leg and right hand, which required rest, Anthony's bet with Chad was postponed until seven days later.
In these seven days, in order to achieve the best recovery effect, Anthony really never got out of bed.
Mavis insisted on taking care of him. As a wife, and a nominal personal maid, she insisted on doing so, and Anthony had no reason to refuse many times.
Helping to wipe his body, feed medicine, and also accompany to kill time, her all-round care was very considerate.
The level of acquaintance between the two had also undergone some subtle changes in the past few days.
In the afternoon, after feeding Anthony with pills, the bedroom returned to peace and harmony.
