After divorce I am a billionaire

Chapter 1107 Carrying the Wheelchair Upstairs, She Suddenly BecGentle and Considerate Kane was getting anxious watching from the sidelines. Anthony never had a kind word to say, and it was frustrating. He quickly ran up to Mavis and Raymond, intercepting them before they could confront Anthony any further.

"Mrs. Callahan, don't worry about Mr. Callahan's behavior. You know how he is - stubborn and proud. But I'm sure he's grateful for your offer to take care of his leg injury," Kane said in a soothing tone.

Anthony didn't argue back this taround. Instead, he kept his head down while coughing awkwardly as if trying to hide the embarrassment in the air.

Kane managed to persuade Mavis and Raymond into getting into the Callahan family's luxurious car after almost losing years of smiles on his face due to their argument with Anthony.

Soon enough, they arrived at Green Grove Apartment building. Kane pushed Anthony's wheelchair out of the car and stared at the stairs leading up towards their destination floor with an expressionless face.

Mavis noticed that Kane looked tense and guessed what he might be thinking about. She tried lightening up the mood by jokingly saying, "What happened? Didn't you say there are always more solutions than problems? Last twhen we were here, you carried him upstairs." "I..." Kane hesitated before stopping himself mid-sentence as tears welled up in his eyes.

Ten floors! With Anthony's weight plus that of his wheelchair... it would be impossible for him alone! He turned towards Anthony seeking help but received a cold look from him instead who replied nonchalantly, "Yes, Kane carriedlast time." Kane felt like he'd been played by Anthony yet again! Raymond couldn't hold back anymore; he burst out laughing while Mavis commented, "Since it worked last time, why not do it again? Don't worry about us. We'll go ahead first." Kane stood there looking lost. Raymond gave him a sly smile before following Mavis upstairs, leaving behind an embarrassed- looking Kane who whispered under his breath, "Mr. Callahan... do | really have to carry you?" Anthony gave him another icy glare before replying sarcastically, "Who else can do it?" Mavis was too weak physically being a woman while Raymond had a injured hand, which meant carrying anything heavy wasn't possible for now. Besides, since there were issues between Raymond and Antony, so asking for help wasn't even an option! It seemed like only poor old Kane could handle this unpleasant task...

With a sad expression on his face and barely audible voice, Kane muttered, "Mrs. Callahan's apartment is on 10th floor. Please spareMr. Callahan. Can't we just..." But before finishing off what little hope remained within himself, Kane received another cold stare from Antony who spoke firmly, "One month bonus raise!" Shaking off all doubts, Kane knew that there was no other way but climb those ten floors with Antony's weight added onto that of wheelchair combined together weighing over two hundred pounds. That made this task seem insurmountable! "Three months’ bonus." Kane hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. "Talking about money withis too formal. I'm not that kind of person..." "Six months." Anthony interrupted him before he could finish.

Kane was stunned and becspeechless.

Anthony raised an eyebrow and continued to up the ante. "Increase your salary for six months and give you one year's bonus." Kane immediately smiled, "You really understand me. | am that kind of person. It's my honor to serve you!" He rolled up his sleeves and got to work.

Upstairs, Mavis and Raymond had just arrived on the fifth floor when they quietly peeked out to observe what was happening downstairs.

Raymond whispered, "Mavis, Kane is really daring to ask for so much more money from Anthony. He's so rich. It's inhumane! He'll die if he walks down two steps?" Mavis replied calmly, "He will reveal his true colors soon enough." "Can Kane really carry the wheelchair up ten floors? Can he do it?" Raymond asked worriedly.

Mavis shrugged helplessly. "It's hard to say. Let's wish him success." She turned around and went upstairs without looking back at what was happening below.

Raymond followed her lead.

From the first floor all the way up ten floors, Kane hated high stairs like these for the first tin his life as each corner seemed like an eternity away from each other.

Compared with his sweat-drenched shirt, Anthony looked like an idler who wasn't even breaking a sweat despite having one leg "paralyzed" while being carried by Kane all this time.

After climbing ten whole floors along with carrying Anthony on his back made him panting heavily. Kane was even unable to catch breaths properly anymore while sweating profusely. And his sweat soaked through every inch of clothing on himself.

Mavis and Raymond weren't in any hurry as they waited patiently at their apartment door on the tenth floor until both men finally arrived there together.

As the wheelchair reached the flat on the tenth floor, Kane's arms and legs went weak, and he collapsed next to Anthony's wheelchair, gasping for breath.

Raymond clicked his tongue in disapproval, watching with a sigh, "Anthony, you're so harsh even on your own people. Just get off and take a few steps, or let Kane support you." He glanced at the exhausted Kane, "lI remember the last t| cback to the apartment with my sister, you and Anthony were already waiting at the entrance. How c| didn't see you sweating this much back then?" "It might be..." said Kane reluctantly, "I've been feeling weak lately due health issues. Maybe need take better care myself going forward." Mavis didn't take pleasure in Kane's plight. Instead, she felt a pang of sympathy for him. She handed him a cup of warm water and said, "Take a sip. I've arranged Raymond in the adjacent apartment. You can go there later to take a shower. You can stay for dinner as well. You've worked hard today." Her original intention was to make Anthony expose himself by standing up and walking, but no one could match his acting skills.

If NIB hadn't already known the whole truth, she might have continued to be deceived by Anthony's performance.

Kane took the warm water and drank it in one gulp, feeling so moved that he almost cried. "Thank you, Mrs. Callahan. You're so kind, Mrs. Callahan." Mavis nodded with a smile in response and turned to enter the house.

Soon, only Anthony and Kane were left in front of the apartment building.

Kane was at a loss for words. "Mr. Callahan, please have mercy onand install an elevator in Green Grove Apartment as soon as possible! | can't handle carrying you up and down every day!" Anthony handed him a wet wipe and said simply, "Okay." Kane was overjoyed to hear the word from him and wiped his sweat with the wet wipe.

During dinner in the small dining room, all that could be heard were sounds of utensils clinking against plates. It was extremely quiet otherwise. Kane wolfed down his food hungrily while everyone else seemed preoccupied with their own thoughts.

After dinner, Kane went next door to Raymond's apartment with him.

Mavis cleaned up all of the leftover dishes by herself while Anthony helped clear off the table using his wheelchair.

The two of them worked silently side by side. It felt like they had gone back five years in twhen they had been living together harmoniously during their arranged marriage agreement.

After what seemed like ages passed by without anyone saying anything at all, Anthony finally spoke up, "Why did you suddenly decide to continue taking care of me?" Mavis paused her dishwashing for a moment before calmly explaining, "If you hadn't rushed off to get there that day then gotten into an accident afterwards which caused your leg injury... | would feel responsible for what happened since | promised I'd take care of you until your recovery." Anthony's heart warmed at her words. His expression softened gradually over time.

Although Mavis appeared calm on surface level while washing dishes vigorously, she seemed like she was venting out all her pent- up anger onto those plates! Anthony remained oblivious though, unaware that Mavis' revenge would ccrashing down upon him like a storm soon enough...

At 7 pm sharp.

Alistair was picked up from the kindergarten and brought to the Green Grove Apartment after Kane finished showering.

Mavis had been eagerly waiting and as soon as she saw her son, she showered him with kisses and hugs, lifting him high in the air.

Anthony frowned as he watched the intimate interaction between mother and son. He had reason to suspect that Mavis was willing to have him move in together just to see their son.

Before going to bed, Mavis helped Anthony lie down on the bed. From start to finish, she was incredibly gentle, caring, and attentive. It was a stark contrast to her previous reluctance to take care of him, as if she had beca completely different person.

"Is there anything else you need?" she asked softly before leaving.

Alistair pointed to the nearby bookshelf and spoke first, "lI want to hear daddy tella bedtstory tonight. Mommy, can you please bring the storybook?" Anthony replied, "The storybook is too childish. Bringthe math workbook instead. I'll go over sof Alistair's mistakes with him." Alistair's face turned pale.

Mavis looked at Anthony and Alistair before ultimately choosing to bring the storybook. "Let's stick with storytelling for now. Alistair needs a balance between study and play during his break time, or he won't sleep well at night and will dream about math problems." Alistair was thrilled and blew his mother a kiss. "Mommy, | love you so much!" Mavis returned the gesture as they both smiled.

During storytelling time, Mavis left the room to search for something in the living room.

Five minutes later, she returned holding a hammer, chisel, plunger stick for unclogging toilets, and a thin stick resembling an index finger entering into their bedroom.
