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!"
Mavis thought that Anthony had changed his mind and was about taking their son back to the Callahan
Residence in his top-of-the-line luxury car parked downstairs from the apartment building, so she
hurriedly caught up with them followed closely by Moore.
But unexpectedly, despite the presence of his car downstairs from the apartment building, it wasn't
even given a glance as he made their way upstairs while carrying Alistair.
Mavis breathed out in relief only when they reached her small apartment where all four of them were
now under one roof, creating an awkward atmosphere among them all.
Moore went straight into the kitchen carrying bags filled with seafood, readying himself for cooking
dinner while Mavis squatted beside her bed changing Alistair's new jacket herself.
Sitting on the edge of the bed swinging short legs back-and-forth, Alistair muttered, "Daddy said
Mommy is dating that uncle-is it true?"
"It's not true," she replied sincerely. "That uncle is actually my friend whom I wanted you to meet earlier
and also my colleague at work who came over just now. Because he was afraid I couldn't carry those
bags alone."
Her explanation sounded genuine which made Alistair feel respected, making him smile broadly saying,
"Great! So Mommy still loves me most right?"
She loved pinching those chubby cheeks saying, "Yes! Most most most love you!"
"Haha~" The naive voice coming from this little guy seemed like it had magical powers that could heal
people's hearts-whenever Mavis saw him smiling like this, all her worries would disappear without
trace.
Anthony leaned against doorframe hands-in-pocket, looking languidly. Watching this warm scene
unfold before him, he didn't utter another word but quietly closed his eyes, enjoying every moment.
"Mommy, can you tell me a story tonight?" Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
"Will you take me to kindergarten tomorrow? Will you come pick me up in the afternoon?"
"Now everyone in the country knows that you're back, right? When are you planning to go home?"
The little one bombarded her with questions.
Mavis was speechless and didn't know how to explain. She instinctively looked towards Anthony by the
door.
Noticing her gaze, Anthony ignored her plea for help and went straight into the kitchen.
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.
