Mavis frowned and endured the pain. She was too hungry to break free, and the feeling of grievance continued in her eyes instantly.
"I'm just your contracted wife. After a year, we have nothing to do with each other. I only made you angry yesterday. You warned me that you won't come to pick me up today. It's clearly a punishment for me. Do you want me to leave my self-respect, call and beg you to pick me up?"
"I could have come back by myself, but I didn't expect my phone to run out of battery, and I didn't mean to get lost."
"Anthony, it's you who told me not to rely on you. I also know very well that I can't rely on you. Otherwise, when we divorce after a year, how will I live without you?"
"I have to familiarize myself with the route to work sooner or later. If I suffer a few more losses, I will memorize it."
Her cheek that he had just pinched was still hurting, and the grievances were flooding her whole chest.
"Anthony, why are you doing this to me? I know it's wrong. I won't ask about your past with Lyra. I know I don't deserve to know your past, and I know I can't compare to her in your heart, but I am working hard. I chased you all the way from Teflayria to Crana for five years."
"I don't ask you to like me anymore. I just ask you not to be so cruel to me. At least let me still feel that you are beautiful in my heart after one year. Um..."
It was raining heavily. Anthony threw his umbrella, held her head, and kissed her lips without hesitation.
The domineering kiss came overwhelmingly.
Her heart felt like there was an electric shock in an instant.
Mavis was stunned.
Her mind went blank, and even her breath was almost taken away by this sudden kiss.
Anthony actually... kissed her?
Was he crazy?
Mavis slapped his chest wildly, but her strength couldn't cause any harm at all. Instead he held her tighter and tighter, and her nose was full of his breath.
The secluded road was devoid of pedestrians, let alone vehicles passing by.
Only the luxury car that Anthony drove, the two beams of headlights shone on the figure of the two embracing.
Even the cold air of the rainy night became sweet because of this kiss.
The tender kiss continued for several minutes until Mavis fainted and fell softly into his arms.
"Mavis?"
Anthony looked at her pale face, took off his suit jacket decisively, wrapped her petite shoulders, bent over and hugged her back to the car, and drove back to Callahan Residence.
Rebecca was taken aback when she saw that Mavis had been brought back.
"What happened to Mavis? Why is her face so pale? Was she kidnapped? Is she injured? Anthony, didn't you go out with an umbrella? Why did you get wet?"
Anthony was too lazy to answer because she was too noisy, and told Dylan, "Go and get the family doctor over."
"Okay, Mr. Callahan."
Anthony carried Mavis upstairs, carefully placing her on the bed.
The wet clothes had to be changed, and he unbuttoned Mavis.
After unbuttoning a few buttons, he seemed to think of something, and stopped suddenly.
Rebecca came over to see because she was worried.
Anthony said immediately, "Come over and change her clothes. Her luggage is in the far left wardrobe."
Giving the order, Anthony had a sullen look. And his long eyelashes covered the panic in his eyes for a moment. Then he got up and left the room directly.
Rebecca felt it inexplicable, "Anthony, what do you mean? Mavis is your wife. It's just right for you to change her clothes. Are you embarrassed?"
Boom--
In response to her, Anthony slammed the door shut.
"How can you treat your wife like this?"
After saying those, Rebecca didn't think about twice but went to the closet to take out a set of pajamas and put it on Mavis according to Anthony's instruction.
The family doctor arrived.
Mavis' temperature was taken.
