Reborn: Another Chance to Leave U

Chapter 148

Chapter 148 He Can Be Jealous

Although she faced a group of people shouting that they wanted to catch her, Anaya had no fear.

It was all because the man behind her had given her reliance.

She knew that as long as the man was here, she would not be bullied in the slightest.

Samuel had already taken his men to fight against the people who had rushed over to capture Anaya to take the bounty. And the scene was in chaos.

Anaya moved slightly in Hearst’s arms and wanted to turn around.

Hearst suddenly held her hand and pulled her out.

Hearst’s movements were strong, but Anaya could feel Hearst’s gentleness.

Anaya allowed Hearst to pull her away. Her gaze was fixed on Hearst’s tall and cold back. No matter how fierce the scene was behind her, she didn’t pay attention. She only followed Hearst in front of her as if she had been possessed.

Joshua had been paying attention to Anaya’s movements. When he saw Hearst take Anaya away, he stared fixedly at the two holding hands with his dark eyes while wishing he could rush up and separate them.

He didn’t want Hearst to touch Anaya.

When Lexie saw that Joshua had been looking at Anaya, she stood up and said, “Joshua, this place is too chaotic. Let’s go back..”

She reached out to hold Joshua’s hand, but the latter shook it off.

“You go back first. I have other things to deal with.”

How could Lexie not guess what Joshua wanted to do?

To attend the appointment ceremony today, Joshua canceled all the work in the morning.

What he had to do now must be related to Anaya.

Lexie wondered why it was that every time they were together, Joshua was paying attention to Anaya.

It was not like this in the past.

In the past, Joshua did not care about Anaya at all. He only cared about Lexie.

Why did it become like this?

Lexie clenched the hem of her clothes tightly with her hands hanging by her side. In the end, she couldn’t hold back the jealousy in her heart. “You want me to go back? Are you going to find Anaya?”

After hearing her question, Joshua was a little hesitant.

He knew that Lexie was not a fool. And he knew that Lexie had seen everything he had done during this time.

He had already made up his mind to forget about Anaya and treat Lexie well.

But the fact was different. He seemed to be repeating the same mistake. He had one woman with him, but he was still worried about another….

If he left now to chase after Anaya, Lexie might be sad.

But

He couldn’t let Anaya go.

He wanted to follow and take a look.

“Lexie, Anaya just experienced such a big change. I’m afraid that something bad may happen to her if she doesn’t think it through. Be good and go back first…”

As he spoke, he felt guilty and did not dare look into Lexie’s eyes. He turned and strode away.

Lexie stood where she was and bit her lower lip so hard that it bled.

She knew that Joshua was not worried that Anaya would not be able to be relieved.

If Joshua cared about Anaya’s psychological state, he should have helped Anaya just now. But he didn’t. After seeing Hearst, he acted like a child who had been robbed of his toys. He wanted to go up and compete..

He decided to go over because he could not see his ex–wife getting close to another man.

Previously, Anaya had said that Joshua had love, but his love could be divided into several parts.

Lexie did not believe it before.

Or perhaps, she was forcing herself not to believe.

But in this situation, she could no longer lie to herself.

Perhaps, she had never been able to obtain Joshua’s love.

And she might fail to become Joshua’s wife.

If this continued, Joshua would abandon her sooner or later and turn to chase Anaya back

She wouldn’t allow that to happen.

She had waited for so many years, and it was not easy for her to reach this step. She could not make any mistakes.

She and Anaya had to end this.

Anaya led Hearst out of the hotel and stopped on the sidewalk

Hearst wanted to let go of her hand, but she refused.

Her palms were warm, but her fingertips were cold. Hearst could feel the coldness on the back of his palms and the warmness of his palm.

Hearst was stunned for a moment before turning around and lowering his eyes to look at Anaya. It seemed that he wanted to find out the meaning behind Anaya’s actions.

“Why haven’t you picked up my calls recently?” Anaya raised her head.

She was dressed well and coldly today, but her words were like being said by a spoiled woman raised at home. And she seemed to be complaining.

Apart from those occasions in which she deliberately provoked Hearst, she rarely had such rude moments.

Perhaps it was because Hearst had always been conniving towards her, so she couldn’t help but want more.

After receiving Anaya’s question, Hearst did not feel angry at all. The originally calm and steady face had a slight smile, and there was much more than a hint of softest in his eyes.

He explained, “Work needs to be done. I can‘t contact the outside world.”

Anava asked. “So you‘re saying that you weren‘t in the city center when a terrorist attack occurred in Las Vegas?”

“No. I won‘t go against the agreement i made with you.”

As usual, Hearst spoke with the calmest tone and the most powerful promise.

Anaya‘s heart skipped a beat, and she let go of Hearst‘s hand. “Can‘t you get someone to send me a message? Do you know how worried I was during that time...”

Before she could finish, she paused.

when these words were said, it was no different from a confession.

And she awkwardly didn‘t want to reveal her feelings to Hearst.

It was strange. When she pursued Joshua, she was vigorous and never tried to hide her feelings.

But when it came to Hearst, she was afraid of the consequences and felt a bit more ashamed.

Perhaps it was because back then, she had treated pursuing Joshua as a mission that had to be completed. Although she had feelings for Joshua, in the end, she still lacked some sincerity toward Joshua.

As for Hearst...

She was certain that she liked him.

It was not to find the warmth that had disappeared, nor was it to treat Hearst as a difficulty that she had to pursue and overcome.

Instead, it was from the bottom of Anaya‘s heart that she had a strong sense of admiration for Hearst.

This kind of feeling accumulated bit by bit in the past. There was only a simple love rather than blind worship during her first love.

After seeing Anaya suddenly become silent, Hearst replied, “I know you will worry about me.”

“Then why don‘t you contact me?” Anaya was a little dissatisfied.

Hearst‘s thin lips curved up slightly as he said confidently, “I did it on purpose.”

In the previous cooperation in East Boston, he could have continued to hide behind the scenes and not let Anaya notice his identity.

In the end, he went to see Anaya personally. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

He thought that by revealing his identity, he could let Anaya pay more attention to him and let Anaya realize that he was more outstanding than Joshua and worthy of Anaya’s love.

But Anaya was not surprised by his identity.

So Hearst failed to draw Anaya‘s attention to him.

He had been back in the country for such a long time, but Anaya‘s relationship with lim had never been closer.

He didn‘t contact Aliaya this time because he wanted to lest Anaya‘s true feelings and...

It was rare for him to be so childish, and he acted rashly

Al the time when Joshua was in a car accident, Anaya transfused her blood to joshua despite her weak body.

Hearst was a little jealous back then.

Even though he knew that it was a matter of life and death, he could not help but care.

Then, he remembered it until today.

And thus, he decided to not contact Anaya for the time being.
