Feeling wronged for Mavis, Rebecca patted the back of her hand distressedly, "Mavis, if you are bullied and dare not deal with Anthony, just tell me. I will scold him for you."
Mavis chuckled and held her hand instead, feeling very happy to meet such a cute and young sister-in-law.
"Even if I tell you, do you dare to scold him for me? He is the head of the Callahan family, and he has the final say in everything in the family."
Rebecca's anger quickly faded.
Although Anthony was no fiercer than Shane, and had never punished her, she was very aware of Anthony's character. If she really annoyed him, he will not let her go easily.
Rebecca was terrified and quickly deflated, "I'm sorry. I dare not."
Mavis smiled and touched her face, "It's okay. I'm just mentioning it. Anthony didn't treat me badly, really..."
Rebecca didn't believe it at all, "Mavis, don't hold it back. I'm uncomfortable watching it. You're the daughter-in-law of our family. We can't treat you badly."
Mavis was very moved.
Fortunately, in this family, Timothy really treated her as his sister-in-law, and Rebecca also cared about her as a friend and relative.
The things that Anthony had bullied her on purposely before seemed to suddenly be less important.
Holding back to not let her eyes turn red, Mavis could only change the subject, "I'm so hungry, Rebecca. Can you bring me the porridge? I want to eat."
"Great."
Rebecca immediately handed her the millet porridge on the bedside table, "Be careful."
When she was having the porridge, Rebecca continued, "Mavis, Anthony ... seems to have gone to work. If you really pissed him off, I see he just walked away sullenly, and he doesn't seem to be relieved yet."
Mavis could only harden herself and answer, "Then I'll ... find a chance to apologize to him again."
"You don't have to be so humble. Just let him be. Don't apologize. You're his wife and you just married. How long can he be cold to you?"
Rebecca said angrily and covered her with a quilt, "I'll ask the driver to take you to work recently, and pick you up after work."
"No, I don't think I'll make the same mistake as last night in the future."
Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of going to work.
"Oops."
She looked at the time on her mobile phone. She had fifteen minutes to go to work, and she was going to be late!
She put the unfinished millet porridge on the bedside table and was about to get out of bed.
Rebecca quickly stopped her, " What happened to Mavis ?"
"I'm going to be late for work."
The director talked to her alone yesterday and praised her for her progress and performance. It was too bad to be late today.
"No need. Anthony said before he left. He let you have a good rest today. He has asked his special assistant Zack to take time off for you."
"The director agrees?"
Rebecca laughed and her beautiful face looked extraordinarily playful, "What do you think?"
She shoved the millet porridge back into Mavis's hands, "Eat quickly, and take a day off at ease. It's human nature to be sick, and no one will say anything."
Since Zack had already asked for leave for her, Mavis had to give up and continue to eat millet porridge obediently.
...
Spencer's plan for the renovation of the aquarium had been completed.
Anthony, who was cleaning the laboratory toilet , was called to the ward by Spencer for the first time.
"Hey, let's see if there is any objection."
