After divorce I am a billionaire novel Chapter 1087

Chapter 1087 Even if I pursue her, it's none of your business.

Thinking it was Anthony, Mavis naturally said, "What are you..." She didn't finish her sentence and half-turned to see that the man next to her wasn't Anthony. It was Moore.

There was a moment of surprise in her eyes as she asked, "Didn't I tell you to go pack your things? Why did you come over here?"

Under his glasses, Moore had a refined smile. "There's not much for me to pack up. But for you, it's always inconvenient carrying things alone. So I came down just to help."

"I wasn't planning on making a lot of dishes. Alistair is coming over for a simple meal," Mavis said.

Moore opened the bag and looked at all kinds of seafood inside before saying, "It's the first time I'm meeting the little guy. I need to make a good impression on him tonight. Why don't I cook this meal?"

Mavis felt helpless as she replied, "It's too much trouble for you..."

"It's no trouble at all," Moore interrupted with warmth in his voice while lowering his head slightly.

The owner of the seafood shop watched them for quite some time before sighing and saying, "Young lady, don't be shy! Look how considerate your boyfriend is! You'll have great fortune in life!"

Mavis felt embarrassed while Moore remained natural and smiled.

Not far away from them stood an adult and child looking around but couldn't find where his mother was.

Anthony's gaze locked onto Mavis' back while he heard every word from the owner clearly; he narrowed his deep eyes slightly.

Meanwhile, Mavis explained, "You misunderstood; he's not my boyfriend – I'm already married."

The owner awkwardly smiled back, "Oh... I'm sorry about that."

Mavis didn't want to say anything more about it so she turned around and left with Moore following closely behind carrying shopping bags.

"Sorry if I caused any inconvenience," apologized Moore sincerely as they walked away together.

Mavis only gave him one glance which seemed accusing yet helpless before remaining silent about everything else. There were not many residents in this area, and there were not many people in the fish market.

And for once, she didn't think they would get caught on camera.

Having known Moore for five years, she knew that he didn't have ulterior motives and didn't think of the press.

Still, she'll have to clear it with him when they got back.

Suddenly hearing sweet voice calling out "Mommy!" made her turn around quickly. Alistair finally spotted them both. He was standing by the market entrance and waiting patiently after searching everywhere else without success until now...

She looked up and saw Anthony holding Alistair, standing not far away as if deliberately waiting for her.

"Mommy, hug!"

Alistair tried to run over to Mavis, but his little hand was held tightly by Anthony and couldn't be released. He turned around in confusion and looked up at Anthony, "Daddy?"

Anthony still didn't let go of his son's hand, speaking in a cold tone. "It's impolite to disturb someone on a date. Let's go."

He turned around and walked out with Alistair trying to resist him. But he was picked up by Anthony who patted his little butt twice until he finally stopped struggling.

It didn't hurt much, but Anthony always had a fierce temper. Alistair pouted with grievances while his watery blue eyes seemed like they could burst into tears at any moment.

"Daddy just said Mommy is on a date?"

Alistair quickly shifted his gaze onto the man behind Mavis with an increasingly resentful look on his face - first impressions were negative!

"Anthony, wait!"

His cold attitude was consistent with his usual arrogant demeanor. It seemed like he had changed again from last night's ferocity and this morning's tenderness.

Mavis was annoyed by his unpredictable behavior even though she knew he could be moody at times.

"Mommy! Why aren't you answering me?" Alistair tugged on her sleeve with his small hand.

She snapped out of it and smiled as she answered each question one by one, "Alistair, you can listen to any story you want tonight. I should be able to personally take you to kindergarten tomorrow morning, and I will try my best to convince your dad..."

In the kitchen, it was bustling with activity.

Moore was preparing fresh shrimp.

Hearing footsteps, he glanced over and smiled, "She has been eating my food for years now. I wonder if she'll get used to the taste here after returning here."

Anthony raised an eyebrow as his eyes casually fell on Moore's waist where he wore an apron that Anthony had used before. His tone sounded natural as if a host were entertaining guests, "I assume your cooking will suit her taste buds just fine. Normally we should be hosting you since you're visiting Crana, but instead we have you cooking for our family of three."

His words were light but carried a subtle hint of sarcasm.

Moore paused while cleaning shrimp shells before turning around and meeting his gaze directly, "On my first day here, Mr. Callahan, you showed me great hospitality which I'll never forget."

Anthony sneered without taking offense at Moore's resentment-filled words.

"Just remember that Crana has its own rules and laws. Since you're here, then follow them accordingly. Don't entertain any inappropriate thoughts about someone who isn't yours."

Moore laughed along, "She already told me everything; soon enough when she divorces you, then becomes single again, even if I wanted pursue her, there would be no need for your approval, right?"

Anthony's face turned dark immediately upon hearing Moore's words.
