Chapter 344 Lyra throw up in front of everyone
His deep blue pupils were flooded with smile and he stared at her with warmth.
Her face was turned to the side, and she did not look at him.
Being forced to put on his jacket, Lyra did not feel warm, but rather cold all over her body.
She took off her jacket and handed it back to him, "The banquet will start soon. You''ll have to go on
stageter after all. Put it on yourself. The hall is heated. I''m not cold."
Anthony''s eyes burned with surprise and delight as he looked at her, "So, you''re, sort of, concerned
about me?"
She gently wrinkled her eyebrows. Her long eyshes slightly drooped, covering the disgust and anger
in her eyes. And she forced the jacket directly into his hands.
Anthony picked it up and dutifully put on his jacket.
That delicate and handsome face had a smile, "That''s nice. I''m more looking forward to our future life."
Lyra pursed her lips and ignored him. Thinking about her ns forter, she secretly ground her back
teeth.
Therge banquet hall was filled with the nobles.
The violin musicians suddenly changed the tune. The lights suddenly became dimmed, and the hall
was dimly lit, leaving only the red candles on the long table flickering.
The spotlight was turned on and all people focused on the spiral staircase.
Cayley Princess was standing on the highest step of the stairs. She was in a noble and elegant gold-
encrusted gown. With a smile on her face, she waved her hand gracefully at the crowd in the hall.
Tonight this party was hosted by her and she was the only one protagonist.
As she appeared, apuse and praise rang out one after another.
With people''s ttering, she held the marble railing and slowly walked down the stairs.
The spotlight followed her all the way to the opposite side of the stage.
The microphone was ced in the middle of the high stage. Princess Cayley gently raised her hand,
and all the noisy sounds of apuse and eximing stopped abruptly.
Lyra watched absently. She quietly listened to Princess Cayley''s speech and apuded along with the
crowd asionally.
"... Actually, the reason we''re inviting everyone to enjoy ourselves tonight is that there''s another big
announcement to make." Princess Cayley''s eyes shuttled around the crowd at the bottom and finally
looked at Anthony and Lyra.
The spotlight moved to Lyra and Anthony as she looked on.
Anthony immediately took Lyra''s hand.
Lyra reacted instinctively and tried to pull her hand out, but this time he held her hand tightly, not giving
her a chance to struggle.
Being watched by everyone, Lyra quickly found her senses. With a decent smile on her face, she
turned her subconscious struggling into a shy and helpless nervousness.
The crowd voluntarily gave way to the middle of the red carpet, allowing Anthony to take Lyra, step by
step, towards the high stage.
On the stage, Princess Cayley continued to announce: "My adopted son, Charles Lance, and Miss Lyra
from Crana, will be married in seven days at Florence Cathedral!"
Enthusiastic apuse rang out.
Anthony let go of Lyra''s hand and embraced Princess Cayley, showing the image of mother and son''s
love.
The fact that Princess Cayley was pregnant before engagement was hidden well by the royal family.
Plus Princess Cayley was the only daughter of the current king, the most honored woman in European
Swye.
Even if they could see some simrity between Anthony and Princess Cayley in appearance, they
dared not doubt Anthony''s true identity.
While everyone was praising Anthony''s good fortune as an adopted son, Harrod was sitting around

drinking alone.
At this time, all of the guested were attracted by the spotlight. No one saw his sullen face and the
hidden anger in his eyes.
Caesar was next to him. With one hand on his cheek, Caesar stared mournfully at Lyra on stage and
sighed silently.
On the stage.
Anthony finished hugging Princess Cayley, took the microphone from her, and continued with a flourish.
"I met Lyra more than ten years ago. I have loved her silently for more than ten years. Now I finally
have the opportunity to turn to be her husband. I will love her for the rest of my life in the presence of
everyone."
He turned his head, looked deeply at Lyra, and slowly reached out his hand toward her, "Come,e
to me."
Lyra stood still and quietly looked at him.
At this moment, all people were watching them.
The music in the hall stopped, and the envious voices of the nobledies at the bottom reached Lyra''s
ears.
"This youngdy is so beautiful. And Charles is handsome. What a perfect match!"
"They have been in love for more than ten years. What kind of divine rtionship is this? It''s too
sweet!"
A perfect match? Ten years of love?
Lyra sneered in her heart. Was Anthony''s lie so touching that he believed it himself?
"Lyra, don''t be shy. Come here." His tone was gentle, and his exquisite and blue eyes were full of
doting.
Lyra restrained herself from being aloof. She smiled as if topromise, and slowly walked towards
Anthony.
She stretched out her slender and fair hand and was about to put it in Anthony''s hand.
But at the moment when she was about to touch him, her eyebrows furrowed and she covered her
mouth with her hands, feeling unwell.
The microphone was close to her and the sound of her pregnancy vomiting was infinitely amplified.
Everyone in therge pce could hear it clearly.
Anthony''s smile faded and his fingers froze instantly.
In front of everyone, Lyra was embarrassed and said, "I was going to wait until after the wedding, but
the baby doesn''t seem to allow ..."
The nausea in her stomach rose again, and she turned and ran off the stage, heading furiously to the
bathroom.
Anthony''s entire body was stunned in ce.
Only he knew how sarcastic Lyra was in that statement!
His eyes were red. His whole body stiffened, and he was stunned for a long time.
The nobles on the stage did not know the inside story. Looking at Anthony''s dumbfounded expression,
they thought he was too surprised.
Everyone was congratting Princess Cayley and Anthony.
"Congrattions, Princess Cayley! You''re about to have a grandchild!"
"Mr. Charles and Miss Lyra are both so good looking. The little baby must be cute!"
"Yes, yes! Princess Cayley, you''re blessed. Congrattions to Princess Cayley! Congrattions to Mr.
Charles!"
Princess Cayley nced at Anthony''s expression and had a vague sense that something was wrong.
In the face of everyone''s congrattions, she could only smile and cope with it, "Thank you for your
congrattions."
Anthony clenched his fists. His anger had almost dispelled his sanity.
Faced with so many people, he could only resist the urge to freak out on the spot and look stiffly at
Princess Cayley, "Mother, I''m going to check on Lyra."
Princess Cayley nodded her head.
After receiving the go-ahead, Anthony immediately ran off the stage and headed in the direction of the
bathroom.
He had just reached the door when he saw Lyra standing outside the bathroom hallway, leaning
against the wall, waiting calmly and leisurely for him toe over.
The light green dress she was wearing seemed to mock him silently and irritate his nerves mercilessly.
He was getting married and his bride was pregnant with someone else''s child. How ridiculous he was!
He red angrily at Lyra. Without saying a word, he went straight up and grabbed her wrist, dragging
her to his lounge.
Pushing the door, he mmed her viciously inside, and then locked the door.
Lyra couldn''t handle the force of his rage and fell to the floor. Fortunately, the room was covered with
thick carpet and she didn''t get hurt from the fall.
Anthony''s fists trembled, suppressing the anger and resentment within. Then he looked down at her
askance.
"Are you really pregnant?"
