Reborn: Another Chance to Leave U by Hazel Ramirez

Chapter 246 You Take My Gift as Trash?

Joshua, who had been in a good mood, instantly felt upset. His face clouded over.

He strode forward and got in the way of the female employee.

“Where did you get this bouquet?”

When the female employee suddenly saw a person in front of her, she was a little startled. When she

saw Joshua’s gloomy face, she took a step back in fear.

“This… Ms. Dutt gave this to me…”

After the female employee finished speaking, she was somewhat afraid and carefully bypassed Joshua

and quickened her pace to leave.

While trotting, she looked back for fear that Joshua would catch up.

However, Joshua just stood where he was, not moving for quite a while.

Unknowing how long it had passed, most of the employees had left. Joshua finally saw Anaya coming

out.

As usual, Anaya was in a simple professional outfit, wearing a white collared shirt with a burgundy

waistcoat and a navy-blue long coat.

Her long black hair naturally fell on her shoulders, and her face was with a confident and bright. smile.

Anaya looked as proud as before. She was the most eye-catching focus while just standing in the

crowd.

There was only one difference from the past. Her gaze, which had always been chasing after him, was

no longer on him.

Anaya was discussing something with her colleague. Her colleague noticed Joshua outside the

entrance and reminded Anaya, “Ms. Dutt, Mr. Maltz seems to be waiting for you there.”

Hearing this, Anaya turned around and noticed Joshua, who was walking toward her.

The moment Anaya saw Joshua, all the smiles on Anaya’s face faded away.

Joshua was still angry about the fact that Anaya gave away the bouquet he sent to her. He tried hard to

control himself and not lose his temper with Anaya.

Joshua thought what Robin said yesterday was right.

He needed to maintain a good image before Anaya.

For that, he must restrain his temper.

Even though Joshua thought like this, his voice was still somewhat cold and tough like questioning.

“Why is the bouquet I gave you in your employee’s hands?”

Anaya’s colleague saw that Anaya and Joshua were going to talk about private matters, so she left

tactfully.

Anaya’s eyes were ice-cold. “Isn’t it good to reuse the trash? Mr. Maltz, if you’re not happy about it, I

can get the bouquet back and return it to the trash can.”

“Do you take my gift to you as trash?”

Joshua looked at Anaya’s beautiful cold eyes and waited for her answer.

Anaya looked into Joshua’s eyes calmly, without a trace of fluctuation in her eyes. “Or what?”

Seeing that Anaya did not take it seriously, Joshua felt the pain in his heart as if it suddenly sank, then

fell to the bottom of the valley and hit on hard rock.

Joshua clenched his fingers and said in a low voice, “Anaya, don’t you think you have gone too far by

doing this?”

Anaya smiled, with her eyes full of sarcasm, “I have gone too far? Isn’t that what you used to do to

me?”

“Mr. Maltz, do you know how many times you threw away the things I gave to you? I just threw at bunch

of flowers you gave me, and you got angry?”

During the past decade, Anaya had put plenty of thought into Joshua and prepared many gifts.

Back then, no matter how much time and energy it took, as long as it was what Joshua wanted,

Anaya would offer it to him to gain a little attention from Joshua.

However, despite all of her meticulous preparations, Joshua had always been disdainful.

There was one thing that Anaya would never forget. When Anaya was in her first year of college, she

heard that Joshua wanted to eat an ice cream that had been sold out. Anaya spent a few days looking

for it all over Boston, finally found it, and then held it in front of him like presenting a treasure.

Anaya thought that for the sake of her hard work, Joshua would at least have a taste.

Unexpectedly, he threw the ice cream on the ground and stepped on it furiously in front of everyone.

Anaya was dumbfounded.

Together with her love and her dignity, everything had been stepped on by Joshua.

Anaya once put down all her pride and self-esteem before Joshua.

But now, it wouldn’t happen again.

As Joshua had treated her before, Anaya would do exactly the same.

Joshua always selectively forgot what he had done wrong.

It was not until Anaya mentioned it that Joshua remembered what he had done to Anaya before and

how much he had hurt her.

Back then, Joshua didn’t think that he had gone too far. Now that he was treated like this, Joshua

realized how painful his heart was when his good intention was trampled on.

Joshua deserved it. The mistakes he had committed before were returned to him in another way today.

Just now, Joshua’s heart was filled with anger that had burned to its peak, but now, it was extinguished

in an instant.

In the face of Anaya’s accusation, Joshua had nothing to say.

In the end, Joshua could only say bitterly, “I’m sorry.”

He had already said “sorry” to Anaya many times.

However, no matter how many times he said it, it did not help to heal the pain that Anaya had suffered

before.

Moreover, Anaya did not like to hear him say “sorry”.

Anaya cast a cold glance at Joshua. Seeing that Joshua had nothing to say, Anaya was going to

bypass him and leave.

Joshua took a step to the left, blocking Anaya’s way, and said very seriously, “Anaya, I did a lot of

wrong things before. However, I have realized my faults.

“I promise that I won’t make the same mistake again. I hope you can give me another chance. Don’t

push me away.”

“Mr. Maltz, what do you mean by this? Do you really want to remarry me?” Anaya pursed her lips.

Joshua acquiesced.

Anaya forced a smile, but there was no trace of a smile in her eyes at all. “Lexie just died, and you

decided to run after me?

“Mr. Maltz, you used to say repeatedly that you loved Lexie. And in the end?

“As it turns out, your love is very easy to change, Mr. Maltz.”

Hearing Anaya’s ear-piercing words, Joshua was a little annoyed. “I told you last time that I loved

the wrong person. I didn’t even have a real sense of love for Lexie…”

Anaya’s voice was extremely calm, “According to what you said, what if I didn’t save you five years.

ago? Are you going to change your love immediately?

“When the time comes, are you going to say that your feelings for me are not real and that you have

mistaken me for someone else?”

Joshua couldn’t find any words to refute it. He was ashamed and angry. “You’re sophistic!”

Anaya said, “Whether I am sophistic or you are really like that, you and I both know it clearly.

“Mr. Maltz, don’t send me gifts again. I don’t want to waste resources. It’s quite troublesome to throw

garbage every time.

“Well, if you insist on being humble and experiencing what I felt back then, you are welcome to

continue doing this.”

With that, Anaya bypassed Joshua and left without looking back.

Joshua stood in place for a long time until Anaya’s slim and tall figure was completely out of his sight.
