Chapter 1086 Sending Son to Visit His Mother

Mavis followed his gaze and noticed the hickey on her neck, instinctively covering it with her hand,

feeling a bit embarrassed. "No, I've already talked to him. We'll meet at the Civil Affairs Bureau in Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

seven days and get the divorce certificate directly," she said.

Although it was good news, Moore frowned. "Why wait for seven days? If he really wants to help you

out, he could get it tomorrow morning or even before the Civil Affairs Bureau closes this afternoon."

Mavis pondered for a moment with lowered eyes. "Maybe he's been busy with work these past few

days and can only make time that day."

Moore didn't believe it at all. "That's just an excuse; he's a CEO after all and has the final say."

Mavis wasn't sure what Anthony was thinking either but since things were settled now, she decided to

trust him for now and adapt accordingly when necessary. She collected her thoughts and walked

towards the bedroom to retrieve the key of the apartment.

Moore still stood by the door alone in distress for a while before lowering his head to adjust his glasses

frame while contemplating something.

"You can stay in my upstairs apartment during this period of time; here is your key," Mavis said as she

handed over it to Moore.

"Thank you Mavis; you always manage everything so thoughtfully," Moore replied warmly as he

received it from her.

"After living in Crana for five or six years, I should take care of you since this is your first visit here,"

Mavis chuckled lightly before remembering something important. "How did things go at work when you

came over?"

Moore sighed while shaking his head, "We couldn't secure those few collaborations we were working

on earlier but everything else has been taken care of so don't worry about that."

Those collaborations had been going well when she was still there but they fell apart once she left, so

how could she not be worried?

"Did you bring your laptop over?" She asked seriously.

"I brought it because I knew that would be one less thing for me to worry about regarding work."

"That's good then; let's have a meeting this afternoon using your laptop."

"Okay."

The small apartment had limited space which meant their dining table became their makeshift office

desk while their eating area turned into an office zone instead.

Meanwhile across from them, Kane hadn't left yet.

Two bodyguards held binoculars - one observing Mavis' window while another watched over their

building corridor - but everything remained quiet without any movement or sound whatsoever.

Kane quickly called Anthony up on phone reporting back what they found out thus far.

"Mr. Callahan, Moore has been in Mrs. Callahan's apartment for over two hours now and hasn't come

out. The window is closed. I don't know what they're doing..."

On the phone, the man's breath was barely audible as he replied, "Keep watching."

"Understood."

...

Inside the apartment.

"... how come the summary of this quarter's project hasn't been submitted yet? Go notify the relevant

personnel tomorrow is the deadline."

Moore typed on his computer and hesitated before saying, "Bostrain is in a different time zone than

Crana. At this time, they've already finished work."

"But they still need to be notified. Even if it means working overtime to complete their responsibilities

within the deadline," she said seriously. She was always meticulous at work and had learned from

Lyra's experience.

Moore responded obediently, "Okay, I'll go now."

After that came a long silence with only keyboard clicks echoing through the room.

Moore sat across from Mavis and occasionally glanced at her with a nostalgic smile.

"Mavis, do you remember when we first started our business together? Our first office was so small

with only five people total. We sat face-to-face," he reminisced with satisfaction. "Looking back now

even though we didn't make much money then, every day felt fulfilling unlike now..."

Mavis gave him a sidelong glance teasingly asking, "Are you lonely now?"

He laughed awkwardly saying, "Maybe."

Mavis lowered her gaze.

Anthony had mentioned before that Moore liked her but she didn't know about it until recently, which

made things different between them.

However, Moore hadn't brought up anything directly so she could only continue pretending not to know

while keeping some distance between them.

Thinking about this, she half-jokingly said, "You should find yourself a girlfriend soon especially since

your mom keeps urging you to have children as soon as possible."

Moore hesitated for words before finally laughing lightly saying, "I'm still young. There's no rush."

"You're not getting any younger though plus having kids would be great like Alistair he's just too cute,"

Mavis' metaphor was quite obvious; she was married which meant that even if things ended between

them in future, it wouldn't change anything, because she would still be a single mother raising her son,

making them incompatible partners.

However, Moore seemed not to understand what Mavis meant and just smiled replying, "This trip has

been rushed so I forgot to prepare gifts for Alistair, but I'll buy something whenever I have free time

these next few days."

"It's okay, the Callahan family can buy anything. Alistair doesn't lack any toys," Moore nodded and

didn't say anything else. The two of them went back to their work.

But soon after, Mavis' phone suddenly rang. She looked down and saw that it was Anthony calling.

After hesitating for a moment, she answered in a flat tone, "What's up?"

"Mommy~" came a sweet and childish voice from the other end of the line. Mavis' heart immediately

softened.

"Alistair? Did you call me yourself?" she asked.

"Yes! Daddy said that today and tomorrow I can sleep at your apartment! Do you want me there?" Even

just hearing Alistair's voice made Mavis imagine him with his head tilted cutely.

"Of course I do! Where are you now? Do you want me to come pick you up?"

"No need! Daddy will bring me over soon!"

After hanging up the phone, Mavis felt excited inside. She missed Alistair so much these past few days.

Thinking that he would be arriving soon, she started cleaning up the mess on the table. "Let's call it a

day for work today; everyone has already gone home anyway. We won't be able to get much done

tonight even if we keep working on it."

"It's all up to you," Moore replied as they both began packing up their computers.

"In a little while Anthony will bring Alistair over here," Mavis said as she gathered her things together.

"I'm going out to buy some groceries. Do you want to go back to your apartment first?"

Moore hesitated before saying, "Why don't I go with you?"

Remembering what Anthony had said about avoiding public attention earlier made her refuse firmly,

"No need. I can handle it by myself completely well."

"If there is anything missing or needed, let me know so I can help get them later."

"Okay then." They agreed on this plan before Moore took his computer and luggage upstairs while

Mavis quickly cleaned everything else before heading out grocery shopping at nearby seafood market,

because Alistair loved shrimp most of all. She was planning on making seafood dinner tonight.

As she was about to take her bag from the vendor's hand after scanning payment code though,

someone reached out ahead of her - taking hold of the bag instead- helping carry it for her without

asking permission first...
