Reborn: Another Chance to Leave U by Hazel Ramirez

Chapter 398 When Did You Become So Cheap?

These casual words carried away the longing and careful protection he had for her in a foreign country all these

years.

Anaya thought of the hardships he had suffered in the past, her chest stuffy all of a sudden.

"Are you trying to get my sympathy?"

Hearst said, "Kind of."

Anaya was speechless.

The little bit of sympathy that she had a moment ago vanished in an instant.

Walking out of the kitchen, she asked symbolically, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Hearst stopped cutting the vegetables as if he wanted to speak, but he paused for a few seconds and said, "Kiss

me."

Anaya immediately left.

Hearst smiled and went on cooking.

Anaya deliberately made things difficult for him. She didn't offer any help the entire time. She ignored him on

purpose.

Hearst was not annoyed. He finished the housework alone.

After packing up, he was ready to leave.

He knew that his abrupt visit tonight had already annoyed Anaya a little. If

he went on further, she would probably be angry again.

He took off the apron and his gaze slowly fell on Anaya. "Aren't you sending me off?"

Anaya, who was reading on her iPad, did not even look at him.

The room was quiet for a minute. Anaya thought that Hearst had already gone out.

She shifted her gaze away from the iPad and noticed a shadow by her side.

She raised her head, wanting to ask him what he was doing. Yet he suddenly held her face with his broad palm.

Then, he bent over, his lips approaching, carrying strong hormones and a faint pine fragrance.

There was a very light pine fragrance on him. It was previously covered by the smell of drugs and could only be

faintly smelled.

Now that there was no more medicinal fragrance, this smell completely spread out, faintly tempting and

intoxicated.

It was a long kiss. Anaya resisted at the beginning. In the end, she grabbed

his tie. The small change in her mood was successfully caught by Hearst and magnified infinitely.

She was not against his touch.

In other words, she was willing to forgive him.

After the kiss, the air in the living room became warmer.

The two of them changed their positions. Anaya was sitting on Hearst's leg, her posture intimate and hot.

Hearst leaned on her shoulder and asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you still want me to leave?"

Anaya was about to speak, but she suddenly thought of something and smiled wickedly. She held his shoulder and

pushed him away, asking, "Mr.

Helms, do you remember the company I told you about before called Paradise Nightclub?"

"Yes."

Anaya continued to ask, "Do you know what that company does?"

Hearst answered truthfully, "Nope."

The smile on Anaya's face widened, and she whispered in his ear, "It is not a company, but a brothel.

"Mr. Helms, can I pay you to serve me tonight?"

Her tone was deliberately light and sweet. Hearst's Adam's apple rolled a little.

After a night of lingering, when Hearst woke up, he was alone in bed.

He got out of bed and walked into the living room. There was no one in the room, only a banknote on the coffee

table.

He thought it was Anaya who had dropped it, so he ignored it. After washing up, he put on his clothes and went

back to the company.

Before arriving at the company, he had Jayden prepare a set of clean clothes for him in advance and changed

them in the lounge next to the office.

Just as he came out of the lounge, he saw Samuel waiting for him in the office.

Samuel whistled and said, "Hearst, you look good today. Has your girlfriend

forgiven you?"

Thinking of the crazy night, Hearst felt his body heat up. Joy spread from the bottom of his heart, but his face

remained calm.

"Congratulations," Samuel laughed. "Then did she agree to marry you?"

"I'll ask her after work."

Last night, Anaya was unusually enthusiastic. Other than her, he had nothing

else on his mind.

It was the first time he knew that she liked to role-play.

Samuel smiled and said, "Shall I book a romantic restaurant for you to have

a good chat with your girlfriend?"

"Good idea."

"Then I will wait for your wedding invitation."

"Sure."

After Samuel ordered flowers for Hearst, he went to book the restaurant.

This restaurant was in a hollow commercial area. When he came out of the restaurant after the negotiation, he saw

two familiar figures on the next

floor.

It was Anaya and Aracely.

The two of them were currently in a watch shop, seemingly choosing a gift,

at the men's watch counter.

Samuel thought of how Anaya and Hearst had reconciled last night and

guessed something. However, he was not sure if it was for Hearst, so he decided to go downstairs and ask.

Anaya had accompanied Aracely shopping for more than ten minutes and

finally found a watch.

Aracely picked up the watch and looked at it carefully. After the clerk next

to her introduced the watch, she quietly waited for Aracely to make a

decision.

Anaya casually asked, "Why do you suddenly want to send a gift to

Winston?"

Today, Aracely invited Anaya. Yet when they met, Aracely dragged her to the

mall.

"His company recently took down a big order. I want to prepare a surprise

for him.

"He'll receive a message if I use my bank card. So please pay for it today. I will pay you back in a few days."

Anaya nodded and was about to pay the bill when she heard someone call

her from behind.

"Ana?"

Anaya turned around and saw Joshua and Robin coming in from the door.

The person who had just called her was Robin.

Anaya and Joshua were not on good terms, but his good friend Robin had

always treated her well. She politely smiled without looking at Joshua the entire time. It was obvious that she was

deliberately ignoring him.

She turned around and said to the clerk, "I'll take this watch. Please wrap it

up."

"Okay." The clerk nodded.

Just as the clerk was about to take action, Joshua spoke, "I'll take this

watch."

The clerk stopped and looked at Anaya hesitantly. She said to Joshua, "This

watch has been bought by this young lady."

"Your boss, Mr. Dickerson is my friend." Joshua's indifferent face showed

some gloom and displeasure.

The clerk was shocked and carefully asked, "May I ask who you are?"

"Joshua Maltz."

The clerk had heard of this name, but she knew that the Maltz family had recently declined.

In the past, when Joshua reported his name, no one would dare to snatch things from him, no matter how much

they wanted the thing.

However, all had changed. The clerk did not dare to make a decision.

"Please wait a moment. I'll call Mr. Dickerson."

Hearing this, Joshua frowned, showing that he was unhappy.

But in the end, he nodded with a dark face.

The clerk ran backstage to make a phone call. Joshua shifted his gaze back

to Anaya. "Is it for Hearst?"

Anaya pursed her lips. "Mr. Maltz, is this why you want to snatch it?"

She did not answer directly. Joshua took it as an acquiescence. He gritted

his teeth and said, "Everybody knew that he wanted to marry Giana. And

now you are still pleasing him with gifts. "Anaya, when did you become so cheap?"
