The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin) novel Chapter 768

After a brief hesitation, Anthony turned his phone to silent mode and chose not to answer or respond.

Spencer saw it clearly from the bedside and pouted. "Is your girlfriend? Anthony, how dare you ignore your girlfriend's call? How did a bad man like you find a wife?"

Anthony was embarrassed.

Spencer continued, "No matter what, you should call her back, right? Otherwise, how worried would she be if she couldn't get through to you? A man has to know how to take care of a woman. Do you understand that?"

He lifted his chin slightly and held his hand. The lesson meaning was clear.

Anthony tried not to laugh, but for the first time he thought Spencer was cute, too.

"Spencer, you're right. I'll send her a message."

He did not have a temper at all. He gently turned on his phone and sent Mavis a message that he would not return to the Callahan Residence tonight. Then, he took a deep breath and put his phone on the bedside table.

Molly at the window was tired and sleepy.

She rubbed her eyes and turned away from a chair. "Anthony, I'm so Sleepy. I want to go home and sleep."

Her drowsy voice sounded so weak that she did not even care about pronunciation.

Anthony quickly wrapped a tissue around his bloody fingertip and went to the window to hug Molly.

"Momo, we won't go back to Lyre Spiti tonight. Sleep here with you, okay?"

Molly pursed her lips and stayed in his arms, feeling wronged. "Where's Daddy? Where's Mommy? Baby needs to hug mommy to sleep. Without Mommy... I won't be able to sleep."

Children were like this, who can hug anyone during the day, but only hugged those who were close to them at night.

Anthony tried every possible way to persuade Molly, but she insisted on finding Lyra.

"It's okay if Daddy's not here, but I want Mommy! Why can't Spencer and I come home tonight?" She bit her lip and sniffled, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Mommy and Daddy... Do they abandon me? Are they not letting me come home... !"

The way she cried made Anthony completely defenseless.

As Molly grew up, Anthony never took her to bed, completely at a loss for what to do.

Being helpless, Anthony had to call Malcolm.

The phone was off.

Again, he edited a text message and sent it but did not receive a reply.

What the hell was Malcolm up to?

Molly stayed in his arms and listened to the sound on his phone. "Is my Daddy's phone off? Does he really not want me to go home?"

Spencer sat on the bed with a bad look on his face and hadn't seen Lyra and Malcolm all day. It felt like abandonment.

"Anthony, will you take me to Mommy? I must sleep with Mummy. I must listen to Mummy's fairy tales..."

She pursed her lips and wiped away her tears with stubbornness and pretended to be strong.

Anthony was completely overwhelmed, so he could only coax her into saying, "There's a lot of work at the NIB tonight. That's why your daddy didn't come. It's raining outside, and I don't know where he is. Besides, Suham is in a mess recently. If you run around, you might meet some bad people who want to eat children."

Molly was not afraid of that at all, "Bad people eat children, but I can bite bad people. I'm going to be in the army. I'm going to protect Mummy and my brother!"

Hearing her say this, Spencer was in a good mood, and still proudly raised his eyebrows, "Who ask you to protect me? Even if I am weak physically, I'm more intelligent than you."

Molly did not refute him. She hugged Anthony's arm and said, "Anthony, can you take me to Mommy? Otherwise, I will lose sleep tonight..."

Anthony sighed, pulled out his cell phone, tried to call Lyra, but can't get through.

He was confused. What was going on with this couple?

Was it collusion?

One shut phone down, and the other turned it to fly mode.

Anthony had no choice but to say, "Momo, be good. What fairy tale do you want to hear? I will tell you later, okay? I have never coaxed you to sleep before, and I really want to try. Momo, give me a chance, okay?"
