After divorce I am a billionaire novel Chapter 840

Anthony carried her upstairs with an undeniable seriousness on his face.

Back in the bedroom, Anthony didn't speak, just took a shower and lay down on the bed as usual.

Mavis sat on the sofa, looked at him, hesitated and said, "Tonight...I'll sleep on the sofa. Can I trouble you to get the quilt for me?"

Her calf really hurt badly. If she went to get the quilt by herself, she might fall down, and she was afraid it will make him unhappy.

Anthony stopped, walked straight to Mavis, picked her up by the waist and put her on the bed.

Mavis hurriedly stood up on her feet, "I... I haven't take a shower."

During this day, she didn't have time to change out of the dirty clothes, which should smell of blood.

"Troublesome."

Anthony's blue eyes narrowed slightly. With a look of impatience on his face, he got up again and carried her to the bathroom.

After entering the bathroom, he didn't leave for a long time. Mavis swallowed nervously and stammered, "Well... I... just wash it myself."

"Well, wash and go to bed."

After saying this coldly, Anthony finally walked out of the bathroom.

Only then did Mavis dare to take off her clothes, and only then did she see the injury on her calf. Although it was wrapped in gauze, the blood still oozed out.

Fortunately, when she was packing up her things last time, she put a medicine box in the bathroom just for emergencies, but she didn't expect it to come in handy now.

Hiss...

It hurt.

The gauze had already stuck to the wound, so it could only be torn off while wetting it with water.

The sound of rushing water in the bathroom concealed Mavis' painful hissing.

She bit her lip tightly, not letting herself make a sound.

After taking a shower and bandaging the wound, she stayed in the bathroom for a while, deliberately prolonging the time in the bathroom.

She hoped he can fall asleep when she went out.

After about half an hour, Mavis walked out of the bathroom slowly.

Unexpectedly, the moment she opened the door, she almost bumped into Anthony's strong chest.

He... He had been waiting at the door?

Before Mavis could speak, he grabbed her with a big hand and carried her in his arms.

He went back to bed and turned off the light, and took her into his arms again.

A series of actions was done smoothly, without a trace of procrastination.

Mavis' back was tightly pressed against his chest, and she could clearly hear the sound of his heartbeat, which was strong and powerful.

His hand was still on her waist, and the distance between them was very close.

Soon there was the sound of even breathing and slight snoring, but Mavis didn't feel sleepy at all.

Even though the two had an unpleasant fight in the parking lot, why did they return to Callahan Residence as if nothing had happened?

When he called her wife, did he really regard her as his wife?

She didn't know, and didn't dare to expect too much.

After all, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Lowering her expectations was to reduce disappointment.

Forget it. She should not think about it.

What was more, when she was out shopping, he specially arranged bodyguards.

But before the happy mood lasted long, Mavis heard another rumor, and it was still about her.

...

In the afternoon, she felt thirsty, so she went to the pantry. When she came out, she met Teresa from the same department.

Teresa blocked her way with her arms around her, "Mavis, I didn't expect you to be so capable. After hooking up with Zack, you're hooking up with Mr. Callahan now, right? Being a little bit beautiful, you can do whatever you want? "

"What?"

Mavis was puzzled, and couldn't understand what Teresa was saying.

Seeing the confusion in Mavis' eyes, Teresa became even angrier, "Don't put on such a pitiful look. I despise you the most in my life for a woman who uses dishonest means to get in the position! You used this slutty look to seduce Mr. Callahan?"

Teresa was very hostile to Mavis because she was replaced by such a woman in the previous company.

At this time, other employees from the department came over, pulled Teresa, and said in a low voice, "You think Mavis is easy to bully? If you dare to confront her now, you are not afraid that she will tell Mr. Callahan and fire you too? It is said that Nyla and the others will be expelled from Suham. You should not mess with her."

Although the voice was low, the pantry was quiet enough for Mavis to hear him clearly.

Wait!

Nyla and the others were expelled from Suham? Why was it so serious?

Facing Mavis' puzzled eyes, Teresa couldn't help but spit, "Shameless thing. Can I be afraid of her? If she is capable, she will file a complaint with Mr. Callahan and ask him to fire me too!"

The man hurriedly dragged Teresa away, leaving Mavis standing there.

In the following time, Mavis could feel the gazes from all directions all the time, some with malicious intentions, some with mockery, and some with disdain.

Wherever she passed, people would stare at her.

But when she looked back, those people would quickly avert their eyes, as if nothing happened.
