The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin)

Chapter 867 Tenderness Is Never For Her

Chapter 867 Tenderness is never for her

Seeing that she kept silent, Anthony touched his nose unnaturally, "Don't worry, it's just a meal. It won't

count as your absence from work. Will you go?"

She hadn't heard him speak in such a soft voice for a long time.

Mavis softened her heart a lot.

After all, the time limit for the agreed marriage had not yet come. As a couple, she will have to live the

rest of the day, and it was not a solution to keep fighting like this...

Mavis sneaked a glance at him and agreed.

The two got down from the president's exclusive elevator together again, and immediately became the

focus of the entire group.

Seeing Anthony and his wife finally walked out of the company together, Zack was also very happy.

Anthony's emotion was led by his wife. If his wife was not going well, then they were the ones who

suffered.

Please let them reconcile quickly, so they won't affect them the employees again.

Anthony, who had already walked out of the company, sneezed for no reason.

Mavis hesitated for a while, but still asked with concern, "Have you caught a cold?"

As soon as she said it, she felt that her words were a little redundant.

When she was being tricked before, Anthony passed by her without a word of concern.

Except for cynicism and sarcasm every day, there was almost no nice word.

She really shouldn't admit defeat so quickly. He gave her a little favor, and she couldn't wait to care

about him.

Mavis felt awkward, tightly holding the bag on her shoulder, with an unnatural expression.

In the next second, the weight on the shoulder suddenly loosened.

Anthony took her bag away and helped her carry it.

Mavis' eyes widened instantly.

He…

What was wrong with him today? He actually offered to help her carry the bag?

What surprised her even more was that Anthony offered to help her open the car door and even buckle

the seat belt himself.

They just had a quarrel this morning...

Mavis looked at him suspiciously. Was she dreaming? Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Noticing the shock on her expression, Anthony just said indifferently, "Don't think too much. It's

because you've been tired recently, and I'm afraid you'll hit the door frame."

Besides, there was no more word.

Anthony was driving intently, and Mavis sneaked a glance at him from time to time.

Soon, the luxury car arrived at the restaurant.

Through the car window, Mavis saw the luxurious and exquisite restaurant light sign - Voord.

After the car stopped, Anthony took the initiative to get out of the car, opened the door for her, took her

bag, raised his hand, and motioned for her to put it on.

He was so considerate all of a sudden. Mavis couldn't help but her heart beat fast, but she still

complied and took his arm.

As the two walked into the restaurant, the manager strode over to greet them in person.

"Mr. Callahan, everything has been arranged. Please follow me."

Because Mavis came here with Anthony this time, the eyes of many employees in the restaurant all

stayed on Mavis.

Following the manager in, the two came to a VIP room.

As soon as they walked into the private room, they saw a beautifully packaged bouquet of white roses,

and a very delicate gift box beside the bouquet.

Mavis was a little nervous. This was exactly the same arrangement as their last date.

Was he apologizing to her?

Mavis knew his temper well. He was the kind of person who would not take the initiative to say sorry,

but the arrangement was exactly the same as the previous date, which was enough to show his

sincerity today.

Her eyes shifted to Anthony's handsome and cold face.

He frowned slightly, and his eyes, which were originally as cold as ice, changed when he met her gaze.

"Like it?"

Mavis nodded.

She hadn't asked for much, just that Anthony could see that she was a little bit better.

At least she wish he would give her a one more year and have more good memories.

The two sat opposite each other. Anthony's expression was relatively indifferent, and there was no

special emotion.

Mavis asked cautiously, "Are you... unhappy?"

"No, this is a date to replenish you."

Anthony was talking and gave her a sliced steak.

Mavis was happy.

She imitated him and cut a piece of steak for him, "During this time, we have carried too much hostility

towards each other, and stabbed each other with the sharpest knife. I was wrong too."

"I know my identity, and I know even more about the one-year marriage agreement. For you, it's just a

deal where we get what we need. It's because I haven't controlled my feelings. I shouldn't have too

many extravagant demands."

"I have often quarreled with you recently, and I also want to say sorry for that."

Mavis stared at him, speaking seriously.

Anthony paused while cutting the steak, met her gaze, and quickly lowered his eyes. No one knew

what he was thinking.

He remained silent and did not speak.

Mavis continued, "I know you don't like me, and I'm not your good match. You're the dignified president

of Callahan Group, the person in charge of Callahan family. I'm just a girl who comes out of a small

village."

If it weren't for Anthony's marriage agreement, she would never have the chance to walk by Anthony's

side in her life.

She can have him for a short time, and she should be satisfied.

"But on the day I picked you up in the fishing village, I saw another girl standing next to you, who

looked very similar to..." Lyra.

She tightly held the knife and fork, and said honestly, "I'm sorry. I can't help but treat her as an

imaginary enemy. I know it's wrong to think like this, but I..."

Anthony didn't raise his eyes, and his voice was calm, "You are good. Don't belittle yourself, let alone

treat her as an imaginary enemy. She never said she would steal anything from you. She quite likes

you."

Mavis was stunned and paled gradually.

Anthony's words were clearly calm, but they were like a needle that pierced her heart several times.

She bit her lip and couldn't help asking, "You... have been in touch all this time?"

Just now, when Anthony mentioned that girl, she keenly noticed the tenderness in his eyes.

This kind of tenderness had never been for her.

Looking at the exquisite food on the table and the bouquet of roses, Mavis suddenly felt a little ironic.

No wonder he suddenly changed his temper and suddenly noticed the details of the past. These things

were probably taught to him by that girl.

Realizing something, she looked at Anthony in disbelief, with her eyes full of astonishment.

She understood.

It was that girl's suggestion to make Anthony come up with such a comprehensive and complete

compensation.

Anthony didn't pay attention to her expression. His long eyelashes were drooped. His gestures were

dignified and elegant. He concentrated on chewing the delicate steak, and gave a casual "hmm".

"After all, she saved me. She just cares about me occasionally."

He was clearly familiar with that girl to a certain extent. Was this called occasional concern?

Mavis held her breath, and slowly put down the knife and fork. Her face was pale.

Gift, flower, and the so-called date all seemed extremely appropriate at the moment.

No matter how well prepared, what was the point if Anthony didn't do it sincerely?

She staggered to her feet, as if all the strength in her body had been drained.

"What's wrong?"

Anthony was puzzled and looked up at her for no reason.
