The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin)

Chapter 757 He's fierce and anxious

At dinner time, Callahan Residence.

The three people all waited at the dining table, and Mavis didn't come back.

Rebecca was a little suspicious, "Anthony, didn't you pick up Mavis today? Why hasn't Mavis come

back yet?"

Anthony's face looked heavy. No one knew what he was thinking. "I have something to do today, so I

went home early."

"This is your fault. What could be more important than picking up your wife from work?" Timothy

complained.

Rebecca also said, "Anthony, Mavis came to our home not long ago and is not familiar with this place

at all. Did she go home by herself and get lost by accident?"

Anthony looked grim, kept looking at his watch, and said nothing.

The three siblings waited for another twenty minutes.

Seeing that it was getting dark and Mavis hadn't come back, Rebecca was anxious.

"Anthony, you're going too far. You don't pick up your wife from work. She hasn't come back yet. The

food is cold, but you're not anxious."

Anthony looked at his watch again, but still didn't speak.

Rebecca took out her phone and called Mavis.

"Anthony, Mavis's phone is off and can't get through. Will something happen to her!?"

Timothy looked at the sky outside and said coldly, "It's getting dark quickly today and it's overcast. It

looks like it's going to rain. If it really rains, the way back to home will be even harder to find."

Now Anthony couldn't sit still, got up suddenly, and took a few steps out of the dinning room.

Rebecca got up immediately and wanted to find Mavis together, but was stopped by Timothy.

"Don't follow along and cause trouble. The couple seems to be quarreling. They have to talk about it

themselves. You will affect them by your side."

It made sense.

Rebecca had to give up and looked worriedly at the rain outside the window.

...

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, the dark sky was extremely oppressive. Under the street

lights, one could see the fine rain.

Anthony held an umbrella and went all the way from home to look for her.

No car, no bodyguards, only a mobile phone.

Along the way, he hoped that the familiar figure would appear in his line of sight, but there was none.

If he can't find Mavis tonight, he will just call the police.

Thinking bitterly, Anthony looked at the time on his watch while holding an umbrella and walked faster

unconsciously.

Along the road out of Callahan Residence, there was no one under the dim lights.

This was not the way to find her.

Anthony took out his phone and called Zack.

Zack was shocked on the spot.

"Mr. Callahan, hasn't Madam returned home yet? How could it be... She clearly left the company

shortly after work."

Anthony said coldly, "Tell me what happened before you get off work."

"I saw she was waiting for you in the underground parking, so I went up to tell her that you won't come

to the company today, and asked her to take my car home, but she refused. I saw that she got out of

the building."

She went out from the first floor of the building, either by taxi or by bus.

Anthony pondered carefully. With Mavis's economic conditions, most of the time she would want to take

the bus back by herself.

Stupid, so stupid.

His eyes looked heavy, and he was very upset. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Obviously there were ready-made cars to ride, but she had to cram onto the bus by herself. What was

she thinking?

Not wanting to complain more, Anthony immediately ordered, "Check which buses she will take, and

give me the most likely routes for her return to Callahan Residence."

"Yes."

Zack's efficiency had always been great.

Within minutes, Anthony's phone received a Zack's message.

The three closest bus-to-subway routes back to Callahan Residence were clearly listed by Zack.

Anthony took a quick look and found that no matter which bus route she took, she would end up taking

the same subway. The nearest subway station was three kilometers away from Callahan Residence.

He immediately returned home, went to the garage to drive, followed the road to the subway station,

and planned to slowly find her.

The speed of the car was slow, the rain was rushing, and the wipers squeaked, disturbing him a little.

When the luxury car traveled for two kilometers, Anthony keenly noticed a slender figure sitting on the

side of the road.

It was so dark that he couldn't see who it was, so he could only get out of the car with an umbrella and

check it in person.

...

Mavis's phone ran out of battery, and she finally got out of the subway station. Because she came to

Callahan Residence by car before, she had never walked through these winding roads and got lost

accidentally.

The road was slippery on a rainy night, and the sky was dark.

She lost her way completely. She walked too much, and her stomach growled with hunger. She really

had no strength, so she had to sit on by the roadside and take a break.

A headlight shone on her face, and she buried her head in the crook of her knee without any hope.

Just half an hour ago, she was expecting Anthony to pick her up from the road, but she didn't see his

car every time.

The disappointment accumulated more and more that she had lost hope, and planned to take a break

and continue to find her way.

The emaciated figure was drenched all over. Her hair was soaked in rainwater and was against her

cheek, and even her eyelashes were full of water droplets.

She was like a poor puppy that no one wanted, which was miserable.

She was so hungry that she fainted, and she felt that the car lights stopped not far behind her. The

sound of rapid footsteps accompanied by the sound of rain was getting closer and closer to her.

"Mavis!"

In the rain, it was the man's familiar voice, with a sullen shout.

She looked up suddenly and saw a man in a dark blue suit, holding a black umbrella, with a solemn

expression, and ran towards her.

The continuous rain blurred her eyes, and she could vaguely see the familiar figure.

"Mavis."

The man shouted again.

Raindrops danced wildly on the umbrella.

He came with the headlights behind his back.

He was like a savior, breaking into her world little by little, occupying her whole heart.

She didn't see his face until he approached and she wiped the rain stains off her eyes.

It was Anthony.

"Mr. Callahan..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, she realized that her voice had become hoarse and weak because

of the rain.

Anthony stared at her solemnly, with a cold and frightening aura all around him, and suddenly reached

out his hand.

That posture was like to hit her.

Mavis' slender shoulders trembled, and she closed her eyes subconsciously, thinking he was going to

beat her.

Unexpectedly, when his hand approached, it was not pain, but a warm and gentle touch.

Anthony was wiping the rain stains off her face with his hand, helping her to tuck her wet ear hair, and

revealing her clean but pale face.

"Mr. Callahan, I'm sorry..."

She opened her eyes, but she lowered her eyes and dared not look at him, only apologizing.

Angrily, Anthony pinched her icy cheek with a punitive force.

"Are you stupid? There was a ride to take you home, but you had to take the bus yourself and you got

lost. We worry about you for a few hours. Don't you know!?"

His tone was fierce and severe.

Mavis's cheek hurt so much that he pinched her and she was unable to resist.

"Sorry."

"Mavis, I'm your husband. If you need me to pick you up, you can call me. It's so late. You're a woman

sitting on the roadside in the rain. Do you know how dangerous it is?"

Being really anxious, Anthony let go of the hand that pinched her cheek, grabbed the back of her neck

and pulled her hard towards him.

Mavis fell on his chest.

"Say something!"

He didn't intend to let her go but forced her to raise her head, and stared at her fiercely with red eyes.

"Ugh..."
