Chapter 257 He Is Jealous
Anaya felt that there was something off about him, but she
could not tell what it was.
“Do you want to join us? We haven’t ordered yet. ”
“But…” Yarden wanted to say yes. But at the sight of Hearst, who was staring at Yarden, Yarden
changed his words right away, “Kim and I have already booked a table.”
At that moment, Kim appeared behind him. “The waiter told me that there weren’t any tables available
now. Let’s dine
elsewhere.”
Yarden turned around and looked at Kim with resentment.
He thought, you’ve just made me contradict myself!
Kim was perplexed.
Then Kim noticed Anaya and Hearst. “Ms. Dutt and Mr. Helms.
It’s been a while.”
Hearst nodded, and Anaya smiled, “Mr. Simpson, since there isn’t a table for you, how about joining
us?”
Kim agreed without hesitation.
Kim brought Yarden out here tonight to meet a client. But the client stood them up. Worse still, the table
that they booked in
advance had been occupied by others, and Kim was very
hungry currently.
Then Kim sat down beside Hearst, leaving Yarden no choice but
to sit next to Anaya and opposite Hearst.
Every time Yarden looked up, he saw Hearst’s cold face.
It scared Yarden shitless.
Then the waiter came over with the menu. After looking at the
four of them for a second, the waiter handed the menu to
Hearst.
“Sir, Madam, I’m so sorry. Since there is only one menu left, you’ll have to share it.”
“It’s fine.”
Then Hearst handed the menu to Anaya right away. “What do you want to eat?”
Anaya took the menu, flipped through it, ordered a few main dishes, and approached Yarden, asking,
“What do you want to
eat?”
The two were a bit close, with their elbows touching each
other.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNoticing Hearst’s gaze, which was cold, Yarden hurried to take the menu over. “I’ll take a look myself.”
“Mr. Helms, now your turn,” After ordering some spaghetti, Yarden said, handing the menu to Hearst.
Yarden couldn’t help but call Hearst in a respectful way.
After finishing ordering, Hearst returned the menu to the waiter and wanted to say something to
Anaya.
However, Anaya was chatting with Yarden and did not pay
attention to him at all.
With his eyes darkening, Hearst made no secret of his displeasure.
Meanwhile, Anaya kept giving Yarden her undivided attention. “Yarden, when did you come back? Why
didn’t you tell me? That way, I would have gone to pick you up.”
“Spring break started a few days ago. And since Kim needed to
come here on business, I decided to come with him so that I
can meet you up.”
As Yarden spoke, he, jittery, looked at Hearst secretly.
It was not that Yarden was timid.
Hearst was simply too frightening.
Right now, Hearst struck people as if he was cuckolded right on
the spot
Yarden swallowed and said, “Mt. Helms, can I change my seat
with you? I want to sit next to Kim.”
Noticing that Yarden was behaving tactfully, Hearst softened a bit and nodded indifferently.
However, Anaya stopped Yarden. “Just sit here. That way, you can tell me more about your life abroad.
I mean, you can still talk to Kim, right?”
Despite feeling uneasy, Yarden bit the bullet and remained
where he was.
Soon, the waiter began to serve the dishes.
And since Anaya hadn’t seen Yarden for a long time, and she
was in a good mood now, she, instead of eating her steak, kept talking to Yarden about what Yarden
had encountered at
college.
And hearing Yarden talk about the blind date that his family arranged for him, Anaya smiled playfully,
“You just came of age, and yet your grandmother is already demanding a relationship…”
At that moment, Anaya felt that her foot was rubbed against a
bit.
She thought it was just an accidental kick from Hearst and thus
wanted to retract her foot. But her ankle was hooked around.
It seemed that Hearst was teasing her as the rub was slow and
continuous.
Her heart jolted, and she looked up at Hearst, who acted as if
nothing had happened. With his slender fingers pinching the
silver fork and knife, he was cutting his steak patiently.
It was very elegant and pleasing to the eye.
If she hadn’t lowered her head and confirmed it herself, she
wouldn’t have believed Hearst was teasing her like this under
the table.
And then, for some reason, her heart began to pound with
excitement.
Noticing that Anaya stopped talking, Yarden felt a bit strange. “Anaya, why aren’t you speaking now?”
Anaya shook his head and began to cut her steak, covering their tracks. “Nothing. Let’s eat now.”
“Oh. All right.”
After dinner, the four headed out of the restaurant together.
Kim took out his phone, wanting to call for an Uber.
Anaya said, “Let’s drive you guys to the Royal Hotel. It’s only a
dozen minutes’ drive,”
At that moment, Hearst said, “You haven’t fed Sammo today, who would be displeased if you still hung
out here.”
“Didn’t you tell me that you had already fed Sammo when picking me up here?” Anaya asked
suspiciously.
“No, I didn’t. You remembered it another way.”
Anaya still wanted to continue, but Yarden chipped in, “Anaya, just go back. It won’t take long for us to
go back to the hotel by taxi. I don’t want to trouble you.”
Anaya hesitated for a few seconds and nodded.
Back in the car, Anaya reached out to pull the safety belt while asking, “Hearst, did you … kick me by
accident just now?”
“No.”
“Ah?”
Anaya looked up, only to see Hearst’s handsome face
approaching her in a very quick manner.
And the next thing Anaya knew, Hearst’s face was already in front of Anaya’s. The two were so close to
each other that they might touch each other on the lips.
The seat belt that Anaya was pulling bounced back right away. With everything else seemingly still, the
two looked into each other’s eyes.
But soon, Anaya came back to her senses and raised her hand
to push him away. “What are you doing…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Ana.” Hearst sat back in his driver’s seat while staring at her deeply. “Don’t you understand what I
mean?”
“What?” Anaya tried to calm herself down from her slightly disordered breathing and rapid heartbeat.
“Tonight, you were staying too close to Yarden.”
He said it in a flat voice, which suggested that he was clearly displeased.
Anaya didn’t realize that until now. She narrowed her eyes. “I
understand now.”
Then she got up, crossed past the middle, and sat on Hearst’s
lap.
With a posture like that, Hearst had to look up at Anaya.
And since it was not spacious where they were, Anaya’s body pressed against Hearst’s.
“Mr. Helms, were you jealous?” she looked down and asked
with a smile.
Hearst tended to be confident and calm.
Anaya looked at him playfully, trying to find something other
than that.
However, Hearst, without a trace of panic on his face, knew
what Anaya was up to.
Then he raised his hand so as to touch her neck with his
fingers. And then, his fingers went up all the way to her cheek,
caressing her skin gently.
“Now that you know now, don’t do it again, okay?”
His voice, low and hoarse, sounded a bit enticing and pleasing
as well.
“What if I don’t agree?” Anaya’s heartstrings had been tugged
1. But she remained calm.
“He and I are just normal friends. We aren’t close.”
As if dissatisfied with her answer, Hearst opened his thin lips
slightly to bite her lips.
“Then I will send him abroad.”
“Mr. Helms, I don’t know that you can be so petty and
overbearing.” Anaya laughed.
“I’ve never been a generous person,” Hearst said as he rubbed his fingers against her glistening lips,
wiping away the water
there.
The sinile on Anaya’s face deepened. “Then I’ll try to behave properly next time.
“Mr. Helms, the petty man.”
Satisfied with that, Hearst raised his other hand to hold the back of Anaya’s head and kissed her
heavily.
The car became increasingly intimate, and the night outside the window was seemingly tantalizing as
well.
