She had known him for so long. Although he had pretended to be aggrieved a few times before, it was still the first time for her to see his crying look. Was he really sad?

She sighed helplessly and softened her tone a bit, "I said it was an act, and you were serious?"

Melvin did not speak, lowered his eyes, with a touch of fragile vulnerability.

Yes, he was serious and sank into it.

In the end, it was the reality that hurt him.

Lyra had nothing to say, and only by being awake from beginning to end will she not lose her judgment.

Acting was just acting. The fake can never become real. She had always been clearly distinguished.

Besides, did he want her to coax him?

Impossible.

Besides, she couldn't say anything comforting.

She turned her head and was about to leave, changing back to a cold tone, "Hurry up and sweep. I'm going to bed."

However, she just took a step and her wrist was clutched by Melvin from behind.

She had a tired look on her face, "Let go, I'm tired."

Melvin didn't move,

    Was it because boss was divorced, that he fell in love to stimulate the mind of boss?His knees sank almost instantly, and he had to kneel down on the spot, screaming in agony."Boss, I was wrong! I never dare to quietly fall in love again. Please forgive me this time ... or you punish me!""Who said anything about punishing you?"Eh?Brad's bent knee stopped midway. The posture was awkward. And his expression was obviously still puzzled, which was a little comical.Melvin's face was expressionless. His eyes were serious, "I recently encountered a similar problem, so I called you to Frayton and asked you for advice."The word "advice" was uttered. Brad had trepidation, and observed him for half a second. Seeing that he really did not mean to get angry, Brad tentatively said."My girlfriend has a good temper. She is gentle as water, but can not touch the bottom line. She will explode if I get her mad. As for making her happy well, it is nothing more than a small gift and attitude, and

    Twelve glanced at Nineteen who are next to him. He was a little worried and wished to speak but stopped on a second thought: "Miss..."Lyra waved her hand lazily, "You can leave."When the two had just left, she received another call from Keith."Rara, Collin has double-checked. The family's list doesn't have a file on a man who looks like this one."Lyra pursed her lips and was lost in thought.Keith continued, "It could be that your new recruit Nineteen is lying, or it could be this person is hiding deep. In any case, you can't believe everything, and Nineteen is someone you should be careful with." "Well, don't worry, Keith. I know what to do."Hanging up the phone, she took out the sketchbook in the drawer, flipped to the page with the portrait of the man in black, and looked at it carefully for a while before continuing to work.It was close to off duty before she took Nineteen with her and set off for Fantalure Bar.Nineteen was driving and Lyra sat in the back.The atmosphere i

    Shuttling around from memory, she asked uncertainly, "Are you ...Rebecca?"Rebecca Callahan, who was happy to see that she remembered her, came forward and took her arm."Lyra, you are so beautiful. I haven't seen you for so many years. Did you miss me?Anthony said you are in Frayton and I couldn't wait to come and visit you."Rebecca and Anthony were half-brother and sister. She was the seventh in the of Callahan family, and she was the same as the youngest daughter, three years younger than her, and used to love to cling to her from childhood. She had a naive character but also an arrogant little princess.She smiled and tickled the tip of Rebecca's nose, "You have grown up and is still acting like a clinger?"Rebecca softly grabbed her arm wobbling, "Lyra, you laugh at me. It's because I like you. I still do not let others touch me. This time it is rare for me to leave home. Lyra, you have to accompany me." To accompany her?This was not to find herself a little troublesome person?

    What was Melvin doing here?And the toast he referred to happened a long time ago, right?He remembered it well.She glanced at him.He was not the only one who came here,. Chad, Eleven, Twelve, Fifteen, Seventeen were all there.She subconsciously looked up at the second floor railing. Anthony was still leaning in place. Because of the lighting problems, she can not see his expression, but can detect that he was looking at this side.The man who made the toast was fierce by Melvin and looked at Lyra innocently, "This lady, I didn't mean anything else. It's just a glass of wine. I don't know why this gentleman is insulting me." "That's right. It's just a glass of wine."Lyra smiled. Her slender fingers reached the wine that had been transferred to Melvin's hands.Melvin refused to give it to her. His dark eyes were gloomy, and his face was written with displeasure.Her beautiful eyes were gentle and her tone was gently coaxing, "Be a good boy. Let go and I'll accept your toast next ti

    She turned around. There was anger in her eyes and she glared over.The person who stopped her was Anthony.Anthony's eyes narrowed slightly. His expression was serious and deliberate, "Lyra, you can't use lynching in this matter. Since I am there, he should be brought back to Frayton police department for questioning.""He tried to hurt my face with acid. I just fought back. Is that not OK?"She sounded cool and tried to withdraw her hand.Anthony clutched her wrist, and his expression was still grim, "He hurt someone and should be sanctioned, but you hurt him again, you are the same. Don't you forget. This is a bar. Even if you let anybody out, there are a bunch of staff watching. All are human witnesses."Lyra was slightly stunned, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a cold smile."But I've already done it. What are you going to do?"Anthony froze for a long time before saying, "I can pretend I didn't see it and help you clean up the scene again, but you can't hit him again.

    Melvin tightened his eyebrows and glared angrily at Eleven. his dark eyes were chilling, "Did you just say Lyra went to the police department last night?" Eleven was simply speechless!It was Fifteen who called from the police department. They only said that they wanted to hide it from Melvin first, so that he could recuperate well, but the result was he caught on the spot. "Mr. Freeman, don't worry. Master Keith is in it. She'll be fine. May she just needs to do a statement, and then she'll be released."How was it possible to feel at ease?She spent last night in the police department. How cold it was inside! She couldn't sleep well at all!He turned his head and was about to go downstairs when Eleven stopped him."Mr. Freeman you can not be discharged from the hospital yet. The doctor said the fluid is not just concentrated sulfuric acid. They need to test. You have to stay in the hospital for observation!" Melvin simply ignored it.As he just walked a few steps, he suddenly the bl

    As soon as he said these words, Chad received the cold light of violent anger under Melvin's eyes.He also knew that he was too anxious and said the wrong thing, and consciously slapped his face twice heavily and bowed his head to admit his mistake, "Sorry boss, I was the one who got excited and didn't mean to curse you."He slapped his face hard and the corners of the mouth were broken, seeping a little blood.Although the eyes were red, the face was written with displeasure and not too convincing look.Melvin eased the pain in his body, and did not have the strength to argue with him. His voice was low and weak."I'll go back, but first to deal with Lyra's matter. You tell Brad to go back first, ask if there is a potion that can temporarily suppress S404. In addition, look for the special cream to get rid of scars."Chad was speechless, "Boss, you still think about whether the wound will leave scars. Is good look important? It's life that matters!"Melvin glared at him grimly. His t

    Bernard rushed to call Lyra.On the monitor, the man in ordinary uniform stood under the camera, with his back to the camera, slowly extended his right hand and gave a thumbs down gesture.After that, he left the police department, completely disappearing from all surveillance.This attitude was extremely arrogant and provocative!Bernard also checked out several other surveillance, and found only the back, or face was covered tightly by a hat and sunglasses. He was completely unable to see the face. Only the tall figure was vaguely visible.This man was not only arrogant, but also familiar with the police department's surveillance. Did the department have an inside man?Bernard looked furious, but Lyra looked smiling.This man was somewhat similar in stature to the man she met in the aisle of Fantalure Bar last night.And this action, he was deliberately mocking her.If she can't find him, her name was not Lyra Lloyd!From the surveillance room, Lyra headed straight for the door.For

    Anthony, who was on the other end of the phone, noticed that her mood was not right, smiled gently and coaxed, "Rara, don't worry. Spencer and Momo are very good. Spencer has finished his injection and didn't cry. Momo seems to be a little bit timid, but I hold her and she's quiet."Lyra looked at Momo's aggrieved expression, and her heart ached like a twinge. She endured it before saying, "Thanks.""No problem."Anthony laughed and his blue eyes looked fascinated.These bright blue eyes only glowed with a shimmer when they saw Lyra.Malcolm watched the interaction between the two.The heart abruptly had a dull pain. He suppressed the sour feeling on his nose and silently went to the side to pack suitcases.Lyra didn't pay much attention to Anthony at all and was preoccupied with the babies.In the video, the doctor had prepared the syringe, hidden the needle and coaxed Momo.But Momo was very resourceful and seemed to have guessed that she was going to be given a shot.

    High fever?Lyra gasped and her expression instantly turned grave. And then she turned her head to go out, "Buy a ticket immediately and go back to our country.""Honey, take it easy for a minute."Malcolm took her wrist and said methodically, "It's late at night over in Crana. There's no private plane that can be transferred this time, so there's not always a flight back home at night. Even if there is, the plane will take more than 20 hours to get there."Lyra gave him a cold look, "So you're just going to sit there and wait? Malcolm, you're really not worried when our babies get feverish and sick because we're not around?"She shook off his hand and walked outside the venue.Malcolm let out a long sigh and rushed to catch up, "I was wrong this time. Our babies are sick and I was in a hurry, but it is really too far for us to go back. So I have already called Anthony to let him know, and have Chad go to the medical team of White family to call in the pediatrician."He walked side by

    In the anticipation of all the guests, Nil took the microphone, "After the group's deliberation, the Lloyd's Corp of Crana won the bid for this project. Congratulations." Applause erupted from the venue.Some people felt lost. Some exclaimed, and some admired.Lyra and Malcolm were the most calm ones, because this result was not unexpected.Midst a round of applause, Lyra stood up gracefully and bow slightly to all the guests at the scene, being courteous and polite.She stepped onto the red carpet, took a step onto the stage and shook hands with Nil in front of everyone, signaling a happy collaboration.The media gathered around the two who were shaking hands and took photos of them.Lyra's expression was appropriate and her temperament was elegant and generous.At this point in the bidding process, it was basically over.The groups that were not selected had to return without any success.But to their surprise, Nil announced another piece of good news before announcing the end of th

    With Malcolm's personality, he was definitely not talking about work.Lyra raised her hand angrily and flicked him hard on the side of his head."This is a work thing. Be decent."Malcolm frowned and rubbed his painful forehead, employing a rebound tactic, "This is obviously decent. It's you who's thinking out of the box."Lyra was confused.Could it be that she was impure?She raised her hand again and flicked Malcolm's forehead again, accusing him righteously, "I am misled by you. You're making erotic statements all day long."It was always his fault. Malcolm conceded, lowered his head, listened docilely but did not open his mouth.Seeing his obedience, Lyra gave him a kiss. Remembering the half-hour delay in the opening of the tender meeting, she asked curiously, "After all, Nil Grey is the first heir of Atria and paramount and powerful. What did you tell him?"Malcolm had a mysterious expression, "Do you really want to know?"Lyra nodded her head.His handsome face had rare expres

    Meeting his gaze, Melissa raised her simple and bright eyes and opened her mouth to explain."I think I may not be suitable for the actor industry. I don't want to be an actress. I want to go back and think about how to start my life and re-elect a suitable path for myself."Keith breathed a sigh of relief.Fortunately, as long as it was not a withdrawal, break-up, and leaving him, even if she wanted the stars in the sky, he would do his best to help her."Okay, I promise you. Don't worry. I won't force you to make a choice. You are now 21 years old at heart and have absolutely no acting experience. You certainly have the opportunity to choose your career path again."He stretched out his palm towards Melissa. His eyes were gentle, and the bass was nice and pleasing to ears, "I'll take care of the crew. You're tired today. Let me take you back to rest, okay?"Melissa stared at his broad palm for a while.Keith was patient, waiting quietly for her to think about it and give a reply.Me

    Lyra and Malcolm smiled at each other and looked at each other with love in their eyes."They are all here to visit the museum. Do you want to go over and talk? Get acquainted for a few minutes?" Lyra asked with a smile.Malcolm looked across the exhibition hall, "Since Mr. Hoare is also enjoying with his girlfriend, he must not want us to disturb them. Or should we wait until they finish browsing that exhibition area and then go over?"Lyra nodded her head in agreement.She didn't like socializing, let alone interrupting their sweet time because of it.She thought Mr. Hoare and Anne didn't like it as well, so it was better not to disturb them.A brief interlude did not stop the two from visiting the Great Museum.Lyra and Malcolm waited for Paul Hoare and Anne in front of them to finish each time before moving on to the next show.Strolling around, this was the largest museum exhibition in Atria, and the afternoon of fun passed quickly.By the time the two emerged from the museum, th

    Would be able to have sex?Malcolm's dark eyes glowed with excitement.As long as they could have sex, anything was fine.It was just crying in front of his wife. There was nothing to be ashamed of!He bit his lower lip, forced his eyes redden, looked back at her and admitted being defeated softly."Honey, I'm sorry. Next time I will never make a fool of myself. Don't beat me. My ass is swollen."Lyra lowered her eyes and looked at the wound behind him.The skin was indeed swollen and red with the water droplets.She admired her masterpiece," Mel, your butt looks even better. It's called the quick butt augmentation method. Top quality and excellent service." Malcolm was speechless.He suppressed the evil intent in his heart and asked, "I've given in. Shouldn't you keep your promise and let's do it?"Lyra put down the bath brush and nodded.The moment the weapon wasn't there, her wrist was clutched by Malcolm and pulled under the shower.The aggressive could no longer be concealed."Ra

    Lyra hummed twice with arrogance, "Then we'll see."They were looking at each other with a strong desire to conquer.Crana was a long way from Atria, more than 20 hours by plane.With Malcolm's company, Lyra wasn't lonely at all on this trip.The two leaned over the plane window and watched the first rays of sunlight.And they watched the mountains with clouds stacked up.And they also saw the extremely beautiful sunset glow.Lyra pointed to the clouds in the sky that was flushed with purple and red, playfully smiling and teasing Malcolm."Do you like that color? When we get off the plane and check into the hotel, I'll give you a coat of fuchsia on your skin, okay?"Malcolm wrapped his arm around her waist, "It must hurt. You sound cruel but you definitely can't do that to me."Lyra tilted her head and placed a shallow kiss on his chin to represent her answer.Indeed, she couldn't be that cruel.Although it was Malcolm's disobedience that led to the exotic honeymoon this time, what wa

    Lyra did not need to think and immediately knew which mysterious gentleman the stewardess was talking about.She sighed helplessly.She didn't expect a good low-key trip to be made so grand by Malcolm."First class is not necessary. Thanks for that gentleman's kindness. I purchased business class after all. I only sit in my own seat." She shook the plane ticket in her hand to the stewardess, while walking towards the cabin.The stewardess looked embarrassed and wanted to say something, but Lyra had already walked away.She had no choice but to call and report the matter to the mysterious gentleman.Lyra found the seat she had purchased in the empty cabin.She stayed up late last night revising the project, and had sex with Malcolm most of the night, so she could barely sleep.She was used to catching up on sleep on the plane. As she just sat down in her seat, she asked for a small blanket from the stewardess.She put her knees up, turned her phone off, and lie down to fall asleep in s
