So that was what he cared about.Lyra smiled, with her hands gently caressing his cheeks, "You're jealous?""Well, it's a little upsetting."He looked away in depression, and his handsome face seemed to say "I'm so aggrieved. I need you to coax"."Malcolm, you're so cute when you're all serious and jealous!" Lyra stifled a laugh, gently stood on tiptoe and kissed him. And she was coaxing him with her soft voice."I remember your preferences too. From now on I only remember everything about you, forget everything about others, OK?"Malcolm's face returned to normal, "You said this."Lyra was nodding, and the two hugged tightly as they watched the plane carrying Anthony and leaving Crana....In the car outside the airport, hearing the sound of the plane taking off, Chad took out the cigarette in his pocket, lit it, and took a puff.Isla watched his expression quietly, sensing that he was not in a good mood."Chad, is it possible that you don't want that Mr. Anthony to leave?"Chad took
Keira was very light and thin. She kept struggling but just couldn't get rid of Malcolm's clutches.Chad rushed up and rubbed his hands nervously, without confidence, "Boss, I...just joked with her ..."Malcolm looked over at him and ordered, "Get your little brat out of here! If you bully her again and cause her to come running to Rara and tell on me, I'll have punish you with military law!" "Don't! I won't do it any more!"With the mention of military law, it could say that Malcolm was really angry. Chad was frightened, and held Keira back from Malcolm's hands.Keira pouted indignantly, and her hands wrapped his neck tightly, threatening him with her eyes."You heard it! I have a backer now. If you say you don't want me anymore, Mr. Malcolm will take a little whip to beat you!"Chad and Malcolm were both speechless at the same time.Lyra covered her mouth and laughed very unkindly.Keira was really a cunning little brat. She got the backer and she was similar with her in terms of ch
"This matter is more complicated. I will tell you later. In short, it is not what you think. Rara has a good personality. You will like her in the future." Alice didn't say anything.Malcolm remembered about Chad's matter and continued, "Since you're back, why don't you help me with the opening of the clannish house these days?" "A clannish house? What are you going to do?"Malcolm's eyes looked excited, "Put Chad in the family tree and put his name under my father's name as an adopted son!""Well, you've always been an idea man. Since you're all set, I'll help you."Alice had always been very sharp.Two days later happened to be a good day. Alice helped to call the respected elders of the clan to observe the ceremony and do the record.After all, it was the White family's business, so Lyra didn't go in this time. She just stood outside the door and watched.Chad offered tea to the old Mr. White with both hands and respectfully spoke, "Hello, Grandpa."The old Mr. White took it, took
"What's on your mind?"Lyra waved her hand in front of his eyes and pursed her lips, "Is it your first time to be a father? You're inexperienced, so you are too nervous?" Malcolm stopped thinking at way and responded, "Yes, I'm overjoyed."He gently helped Lyra tuck her hair behind her ears, knelt down to help her put on her shoes, and then carried her away, "Let's go home."On the way, those little nurses saw the two lovey-dovey look and felt envious. Lyra was embarrassed and buried her face beside his neck."Malcolm, don't always spoil me like this. It's not like I can't walk by myself."Malcolm smiled slightly. His voice was calm and steady, "Even the doctor said twins need extra attention, your future vomiting reaction may be stronger. I won't let you be so hard so I have to do something."Feeling sweet, Lyra allowed him to carry her out through the quiet staff aisle of the hospital and all the way to the car.Back at Lyre Spiti, Lyra sat on the bed. She was still reading the chec
Hearing Lyra's soft but cold voice, Chad was so frightened that he almost threw the phone on the spot.After a long interval, he did not dare to talk, and held his breath.Lyra seriously reminded him, "Chad, you'd better help Malcolm to give an account. If you confess, I'll be lenient. If you don't, I'll be strict. Or you two will be miserable as you wish!" When she was saying this, she gritted her teeth.Chad was frightened, and hurried to help explain, "He is actually for your health. He just loves you too much. He ..."With a bunch of pleading words, Lyra finally got the whole thing clear after two minutes."Okay, I get it. You did a good job on this. I won't make it hard for you, and I definitely won't let your brother retaliate against you. Don't worry."Chad was more afraid that she would get into trouble with Malcolm than he suffered alone himself, "Lyra, don't be mad at my brother. He ..."Lyra did not bother to listen to his pleading, and said coldly, "You do not have to worr
In this matter, Malcolm did not hesitate to respond, "Naturally it is my full responsibility. I will marry Rara and be responsible to the end!" Micah coldly narrowed his eyes and looked at him sarcastically, "You think you just take responsibility for this and forget about it?"Lyra knew Micah too well. He started to hate Malcolm!He was too vindictive and will not let go easily without fixing Malcolm.She hurriedly said, "Micah, I am also at fault for this. Malcolm, he just recovered from his illness. You should not think about how to fix him."Micah objected that, "He won't know how to cherish you unless he learns his lesson once and for all. He think he can get the Lloyd family's baby girl so easily by getting married?""Micah ..."Lyra was about to walk up when Malcolm stopped her and said, without condescension, "I'll take any problem you want to give me and I won't revolt it!""Great."Getting his promise, Micah got up, glanced at Malcolm a few times with cold arrogance, turned
All eyes were on Collin who objected it.Collin said seriously, "Malcolm, you do not think that by knocking up Rara, we the Lloyd family will casually let you marry her? Even if she never marries and gives birth to two children, we the Lloyd family can still support them for life. ""All right!" Reginald shouted as he lowered his face."Dad, although this is up to you, since mom died, I've been raising her as the role of mom and I want you to discuss her marriage with me."In this respect, it was true that Collin was the only one who can decide Lyra's matter.Reginald didn't agree, but he didn't reject it outright either, just saying, "Let's have dinner first, and then you can discuss it afterwards.""Great."They continued to have the meal.Everyone finished the Christmas Eve's meal in silence.After dinner, Claudia pushed Reginald upstairs to watch TV show, leaving the Collin's, Micah, Keith and Malcolm and Lyra in the hall.Lyra knew that Collin was still angry, and didn't dare to
At the sound of Lyra's voice, the woman looked ta her, and the smile on that stunning little face was gentle."Miss Lyra, long time no see. It's Christmas' Eve, how are you and Mr. Malcolm doing?""Very good, Miss Ethel. You don't have programs today? Then how come you didn't go back to reunite with your family? Who let you into the Anning Hill?""The bodyguard at the foot of the hill let me in. Miss Lloyd, don't get me wrong. My endorsement contract with White Corp about the Rossi Project is about to expire. I heard Mr. Malcolm is here, so I came in person just to talk to him. I hope he will give me another endorsement opportunity."Lyra narrowed her cold eyes incredulously, "Miss Ethel, you're the most sought-after star, and now you need to personally talk business? Are your agent and the company all just idle?""After all, White Corp's endorsement contract is not easy to get, and I'm afraid the agent team can't handle it. I don't want to miss this opportunity to make money, so of c
Malcolm inhaled deeply, but the tip of his nose was just uncontrollably sour.For the past six months, he had a narrow escape several times, and had experienced a lot of things with Lyra. God knew how extravagant his hope was, and how much he was looking forward to getting this... The tears in his eyes were getting more and more. He bit his lower lip and nuzzled into Lyra's arms, burying his face in her shoulder.Lyra stroked his broad back, patting and coaxing.He did not look up, sobbing. After calming himself down, he said in a collected tone."It's so windy outside. It makes my eyes uncomfortable. Rara let's go back."Lyra just laughed and didn't see him through, "The wind is quite strong. It made your eyes red. If I stay for a while, I guess my eyes will be red too!"The two held hands and interlaced their fingers.On the day of obtaining the marriage license, Lyra and Malcolm kept it a secret to everyone.They did not receive any blessings and did not cause any public opinion. T
Malcolm looked up and saw her, with his dark eyes shining with delight.After a while, he lowered his eyes, "Will it be appropriate to get the certificate now? If others know it, there will be gossip.""Let's do the hidden marriage first. No one will know it. Besides, we have to make ourselves happy first. We're not doing this for others." Malcolm thought deeply for a moment, and his eyes looked elated again."You're right. We have to make ourselves happy first."He lowered his eyes and smiled cunningly, "Tomorrow is also a good day. Why don't we go to get a license in the morning tomorrow?"Lyra flicked him on the forehead, "Okay, it's up to you."Malcolm crouched in front of her. Learning the happy news that he would be her real husband tomorrow, he wrapped his arms around her calves and rested his head on her thighs. Lyra stroked the back of his head.On the bedside table, Lyra's cell phone suddenly rang.It was Twelve.A phone call at this time of night was bound to be no good.Af
Ethel looked at Keagan in shock and called out in surprise, "Keagan, what did you do?"Because of the Buddhist Scriptures, her voice, which sounded good before, was dry and hoarse.However, when Ethel called his name, Keagan felt his whole heart warm.Even if his furious mother would find out afterwards and have to hang him up and beat him to death, he thought it was worth it."I went to town yesterday in accordance with your instructions. I quietly bought two packs of drugs. Twelve and Fifteen have been drugged by me. You can run away now!""I put many drugs. They will have to wake up at least tomorrow at noon. By that time, I'm afraid you've already escaped to the town!"Looking at his silly and honest face, which looked sincere, Ethel had a complicated feeling inside."Your mother has said that I am a bad woman with a poisonous heart. Aren't you afraid that after I run away, I will come back to take revenge on your mother in the future?"Keagan looked at her and shook his head firm
Half an hour later.Lyra and Malcolm went back to the Lloyd Manor together at Anning Hill.Micah and Keith hadn't arrived yet. And Kathleen was pacing back and forth in front of the door, seemingly waiting for them.As soon as she saw them get out of the car, Kathleen immediately ran over, "Lyra, you're finally back."Noticing her red eyes, Lyra smoothed her mind and asked, "How's dad?"Kathleen shook her head, "It's not good. The doctor said it's just last two days. But still, we'll wait Micah.""Okay."Several people entered the villa quickly.The door of Reginald's bedroom was opened, and there was a man sitting in front of the bed.Lyra hadn't seen Collin for seven or eight days.This time when she saw him, he had completely changed.He was much thinner. The skin was also rougher than before. And he had beard, looking more haggard and mature.At the age of thirty-something, he looked ten years older by the torments of past few days.Lyra didn't know what he'd been through lately,
The meeting room was silent, and everyone became mute, meekly lowering their heads to listen to her."This time, I have discussed with Malcolm. He'll inform the subsidiary to stop the project immediately. As for our side, CloudSail Project needs to be slightly altered. When the heat has gone, then re-launch it into the market."Lyra commanded and immediately said in an overbearing manner, "Dismiss!" Then she turned her head and left.When she left the conference room, she was still trembling a little, and even stumbled.In fact, within half an hour, she could not check out the whole thing. The employee called Rosie Bell was what she just temporarily used as a scapegoat, because she must quickly reassure them, end everyone's discussion of the matter and propose a solution. Then she could privately investigate the real culprit and deal with it quietly.Perhaps because her anger was too powerful, all the directors just now did not completely figure it out and were sharply scolded by her
There was still one last week to go for the wedding.During the week, Lyra was not idle. The Lloyd Group had just handed over to her, and there were still many projects that she needed to understand and perfect.It was a good thing she had Malcolm to help her annotate the documents, and she processed her work much faster.The two went to work together at the Lloyd Group, as if it was customary.There was a laptop on the coffee table and Malcolm was working on a project of White Corp, and when he wasn't busy, he continued to annotate papers for her. The two work with a unified pace and devoted their minds to it.Knock-knock-In the afternoon, her assistant, Audrina, knocked on the door of the president's office in a hurry."Miss Lyra, a bad news!"When she pushed the door in, she saw Malcolm was there and suddenly looked embarrassed and stopped talking.Lyra stopped typing and craned her head to look at her, "Say it. Malcolm is on his own business."With Lyra's words, Audrina could onl
Glancing at Lyra who was in a good mood, he still planed to muddle through."Rara, let's forget about those unpleasant things before. I'll go back at night to have some oranges and watch TV, OK?""No."Lyra was not swayed. She had made up her mind, "Tell me, how many documents remain to be annotated?"This time, orange could not save him?Malcolm, feeling bad, gestured to her at the papers on the coffee table.There was still a third of it left, which was quite a lot.Lyra laughed, "What's my rule? Ten lashes per page, how many lashes are needed for so many papers?"Without waiting for him to speak, Lyra had already gone to pack up."Mel, hurry up and pack. Go home and I'll treat you well!"She was so happy to be able to beat him up?He was so depressed that he didn't say a word to help her organize her table before carrying her up. They took the elevator to the garage, and then went home.In the car, he leaned back against Lyra's shoulder, showing weakness."Rara, is it really necess
Malcolm was speechless.There was no way. Lyra was really angry. Failing to persuade her, he could only reluctantly return to the sofa and hurry into the work.The office was instantly quiet, and neither of the two broke the peace again.The sound of keyboard tapping and writing blended perfectly and harmoniously.After another two hours, Audrina carefully leaned against the door. She was not pushing it in this time, but waiting for Lyra to come out."Miss Lyra, there is a regular shareholders meeting in fifteen minutes. All the directors are already waiting in the meeting room, just waiting for you to go there." "Okay, I'll be right there."Lyra turned off the computer screen, glanced at Malcolm who was on the sofa and seriously writing notes. She did not intend to disturb him, got up and left the office immediately.In the conference hall.Seeing Lyra come in, all the directors' expressions were serious and the atmosphere was subtle.Especially Robert, who had just come to the offic
Unfortunately, it had happened and she could never go back.After only a few seconds of regret, her mind grew turbid and her whole being fell into darkness.President's Office of the Lloyd Group.Lyra had just taken over the family's large listed company and was still unfamiliar with the business, so she inevitably had to take more efforts to the group.During this time, Malcolm followed her around every time, thoughtfully helping her annotate the documents and concerning about her. He was even more thoughtful than her assistant.At that time, Malcolm was sitting quietly on the sofa. With a stack of complex documents in front of him, he was writing his analysis line by line with a red pen.All of these contents were by definition company secrets and should not be shown to Malcolm.The Lloyd Group and White Corp had a partnership but also a competitive relationship.But for Malcolm, Lyra was completely assured, and not worried that he would steal data, and even had thought of the White
