The emotion in Isapston's eyes made her couldn't help but move.
She glanced at Malcolm, "Honey, let's go back."
"Great."
Malcolm wrapped his arms around her slender waist and walked out of the banquet hall.
Mavis was alone, following behind them, with mixed feelings in her heart.
Harrison was now with his sweetheart. Lyra and Malcolm were living happily, but she was still alone.
She felt sad just thinking about it.
Three days later.
Mofleunia's business was almost done, and Lyra was going to return home with Malcolm.
If they didn't go back, they were afraid the two little kids at home will really chase after them.
Chad had been calling her for days to complain, but Malcolm kept pestering her and wouldn't let her leave immediately.
It was rare to be alone with his wife, and when they go back, he had to share Lyra with two kids. Malcolm was not happy about that.
Before leaving, Lyra stood at the door of the hotel and hugged Mavis.
"Mavis, you really don't plan to go back with us this time?"
Mavis shook her head, "Lyra, didn't you say that the company still has some trivial matters to solve? We just signed a contract with Emmeline, and there are still some details that need to be sorted out. I will go back after finishing these."
After staying here for so long, she was very used to the life here, not to mention there was a lively and lovely Emmeline. She didn't want to go back so early.
What was more, when she returned to the country, she will have to face the Callahans' cross-examination.
Thinking about it made her feel dizzy.
Seeing that she was thinking clearly, Lyra didn't say anything anymore but said, "If you need my help, contact me at any time. We will leave first."
Mavis smiled and nodded, "Send my regard to the two little kids for me, and tell Molly that I will bring her a gift when I go back."
Lyra and Malcolm left.
After Mavis returned to the hotel room, she suddenly felt empty in her heart.
The cooperation between Callahan Group and the Lloyd's Corp had been put on the agenda, so she had no reason to stay here.
But... what was the point of going back now?
She lay on the bed, staring blankly at the patterns on the ceiling.
Soon, Emmeline called her.
Once getting through, she can hear her energetic voice.
"Mavis, Harrison and I are going camping in the afternoon. Will you join us? We also called some other friends. Let's have fun together."
After getting along with Emmeline, Mavis met some new people and got along very happily with them.
Of course, many of them expressed affection for her, but she rejected them all.
As much as she and Anthony were fighting, there was no room for anyone else in her heart right now.
"Okay, I'll pack up and go right away."
Emmeline excitedly sent the address to her on the phone.
Mavis put on a light skirt and went to the appointed place.
When she arrived at the place, Emmeline took the initiative to talk to Mavis and told her a lot of interesting things, but she was a little absent-minded, and Anthony's face appeared in her mind from time to time.
*
It seemed that there was some kind of telepathy. When Anthony was on the phone with Jaqueline, he suddenly thought of Mavis.
Hearing that there was no response on the phone for several seconds, Jaqueline asked, "Anthony, are you listening? If you have something to do, go and do it instead of chatting with me all the time."
During this period of time, Anthony would call Jaqueline for a few minutes whenever he had time, and at first he felt that this kind of life was very comfortable.
But over time, Mavis would come to his mind from time to time.
Without her by his side, life seemed to be missing something...
Not wanting Jaqueline to hear anything strange, Anthony found an excuse and hung up the phone.
