Reborn: Another Chance to Leave U

Chapter 48

Chapter 48 He Will Restrain Himself

Anaya didn‘t know what to say.

She thought, probably not.

The stench from her body could be smelled from 15 inches away.

she hesitated and opened the door to get in.

She sat at the edge, trying to keep hier distance from Hearst as much as possible so as not to let him be troubled by the

sinell

“I will pay you for washing the car.”

“No need.”

Anaya didn‘t insist.

She knew that Hearst was always standing by his words.

If he did not want it, she would not force him.

Hearst had helped her a lot, and she did not like to owe people, so she had to find a way to repay him.

Otherwise, the more she owed, the more she wouldn‘t be able to repay.

She was thinking about how to return the favor when she caught a glimpse of Hearst‘s fair and slender hand reaching toward her.

Startled, she reflexively stood up and hit her head against the roof of the car, making a loud noise.

She grunted and returned to her seat.

Hearst frowned. “So you don‘t want me to touch you?”

Anaya rubbed her head and said in a muffled voice, “My body is dirty.”

Although she also did not want to be touched, she dodged mainly because she didn‘t want to dirty his hands.

This was the first time she had appeared outside in such a dirty and smelly manner. Originally, she did not feel anything, but when she sat next to Hearst, she felt a sense of inferiority.

Perhaps it was because Hearst was born with the capital to make others feel ashamed of their inferiority, but any bit of filth by his side was like a stain to him.

Hearst stretched his furrowed brows and extended his hand towards her again.

Anaya wanted to dodge, but he pulled her back. “Don‘t move.”

He took the tape from her head and said, “It‘s hard to deal with it alone.”

“Thank you.”

There came a dead silence again. Anaya turned to look at the scenery outside.

At the crossroads, the car made a sharp turn,

Il caught Anaya off guard. She was thrown to the side, falling on Hearst.

The smell on her body was covered up by the smell of herbs for a moment and then spread out in the air again.

Anaya quickly sat up straight and said, “I‘ın sorry...”

Before she could finish, another sharp turn came.

Before she could even sit properly, she fell back onto Hearst again.

Samuel stifled a laugh and said, “The bend around here is sharp. I just got my driver‘s license, so my skills are not very

good. Sit tight.”

Anaya sat in someone else‘s car. Of course, she did not complain. “It‘s fine,” she said.

Fortunately, the road ahead was relatively smooth, and no similar accidents occurred.

Anaya got out of the car and looked at Hearst‘s dirty clothes with a complicated expression. “I‘m really sorry...”

He kindly helped her, but ended up like this.

“It‘s fine. You go home.”

Anaya did not move. “You helped me a lot before, but I have never thanked you... Is there anything you want? I will do my best to satisfy you within the scope of my ability.”

Hearst sat in the car and did not say anything. His dark eyes reflected a strange light as he stared at Anaya. He was calm on the surface, but there seemed to be a bit of desire hidden in his eyes.

Anaya suddenly regretted asking this question. “Just pretend I didn‘t ask it. Goodbye.”

She turned and went upstairs, her footsteps a little hurried.

It was not until her figure completely disappeared that Hearst retracted his gaze.

Samuel smiled, “Hearst, how were my driving skills?”

“Don‘t act recklessly in the future. She doesn‘t like it,” Hearst said, wiping the alcohol off his hands.

He could tell that Anaya did not want to have too much close contact with him.

He did not want to annoy her.

He would restrain himself before she accepted him.

Samuel complained in a low voice, “Ms. Dutt doesn‘t like you, but you chased her so hard...”

Hearst looked up at Samuel and said, “Haven‘t you stayed in the solitary confinement room enough?”

“It‘s my bad.”

Hearst wiped his hands and looked out of the window.

He respected any of Anaya‘s choices.

But he would not allow her to push him away.

The car drove back to Cloud Villa, Martin waited for him at the door.

When Martin sensed the strange smell on Hearst‘s body, he pinched his nose, “Damn, didn‘t you hang out with a beauty? Why are you sinelly?”

Just now, he had received news from Samuel that Hearst got smelly because of Anaya.

He did not believe it. After all, Hearst was famous for his obsession with cleanliness.

When Hearst was young, he crawled and rolled around in a dirty environment. When he grew up, he had a perverted

obsession with cleanliness.

In Canada a few years ago, Martin once accidentally sat on Hearst‘s bed. However, before he could sit still, he was kicked out of the house. Hearst asked someone to change a bed overnight and also disinfect the room.

Afterward, Martin no longer dared to touch Hearst‘s personal items.

Now that he saw Hearst‘s dirty clothes, other than taking pleasure in his misfortune, there was also a hint of sadness.

It turned out that Hearst only treated him that way.

Martin was an unlucky guy.

Hearst ignored his teasing and turned to look at Jayden. “Is everything settled?”

“Everything has been done according to your instructions.”

Hearst nodded. “Go back and rest.”

Martin sighed.

With Hearst‘s progress, who knows when he would be able to get Anaya‘s heart?

The next morning, all the major media in Boston reported the results of last night‘s elimination act of pornography and illegal publications.

The police followed Todd‘s line and destroyed several criminal dens in a row.

Daisy stole. Todd paid for sex with a prostitute, and smuggled drugs.

In addition to that, there were several crimes. It was enough to send the two to prison and spend the rest of their lives in prison.

When this news came out, it became another topic in the circle of the rich and the powerful.

Lexie saw the news and gave Joshua a look. “Joshua, do you still remember Daisy? She used to be in the same high school as us.”

In school, Daisy liked a boy, but that boy liked Anaya.

At that time, it was Lexie who told Daisy that the boy liked Anaya,

Lexie originally thought that Daisy would be able to make Anaya suffer a little, but she did not expect that not only Daisy failed to make Anaya suffer any substantial loss, but now Lexie had even entered the police station due to a character problem.

What an idiot!

Joshua, who was driving, casually glanced at the news. His eyes were calm, and his tone was very light. “I don‘t remember.”

His gaze fell on the building outside the window. “Is your new home in this place?”

Lexie had been staying in the hotel for more than half a month after returning to the country. Yesterday, she finally found a house. After inoving all her things, she invited Joshua over to have a look at her new

house. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“Yes, on the 12th floor of Building B.”

Joshua parked the car and followed Lexie upstairs.

There was a middle–aged woman sitting on the sofa in the living room. He frowned slightly but was soon concealed. The woman was Lexic‘s mother, Danica Dunbar.

“Mrs. Dunbar, long time no see.” He sat down opposite Danica.

With a smile on her face, Danica chatted with Joshua for a while and then got to the point. “Joshua, since you have recovered your relationship with Lexie, why don‘t you get engaged first? If it could be settled early, the elders of the two families could be at ease.”

Joshua took a sip of coffee and said, “I‘ve been with Lexie for only half a month. It‘s too early to get engaged. I don‘t have that intention for the time being.”

“You‘ve been dating Lexie for a few years. Even if you get married immediately, it won‘t be considered a rash decision, right? Because of you, she suffered a lot abroad. You have to take responsibility for her, right?”

Joshua was a little annoyed by Danica‘s nonsense. He said impatiently, “Back then, she chose to study abroad. No one forced her to do so.”

“Then... then she wouldn‘t come back this year because your ex–wife caused her to be blacklisted...” Danica said.

“Anaya did that. It has nothing to do with me. Anaya and I just divorced not long ago. It is not suitable for us to get engaged. We can talk about it later,” Joshua said, his face completely turned gloomy.

Danica finally sensed the displeasure in Joshua‘s tone. She shut up.

Lexie, who had been hiding in the kitchen, came out and pretended not to know what happened in the living room.

“Joshua, I made a few dishes. Help me serve them and prepare to eat.”

It was silent during the meal. No matter what Lexie said, Joshua had a cold face from beginning to end.

After the meal, Lexie sent Joshua out.

She held Joshua‘s hand and said weakly, “Joshua, I’m sorry, I didn‘t expect my mother to tell you about this. She told me earlier that she just came to see you today...”
