Reborn: Another Chance to Leave U by Hazel Ramirez

Chapter 272 Shoot Herself in the Foot

Hearst’s eyes darkened as he pushed the door open.

In the bedroom, only a lamp was on.

The warm yellow light reflected the sunset.

Anaya faced the light with her back to him. Her long black hair was lifted and her smooth back was revealed.

Her shape was beautiful, and the place where her neck was connected to her shoulder was well-proportioned.

The chiffon long dress wrapped around her body yet exposed some of her body parts. Under the light, the scene was amorous, which made people

restless.

Hearst paused at the door for a moment, walked over, and helped Anaya zip up the zipper.

When he touched Anaya’s back, he felt her smooth skin.

The scorching air made his throat dry.

After the zipper was pulled, Anaya stood up and turned around.

She was even more stunning than he had imagined.

“Thank you.” She raised her head and smiled at him. “Let’s go down.”

She lifted her skirt, turned sideways, and prepared to walk out.

Hearst paused and asked, “You called me in just to zip the dress?”

“Yes.”

Anaya changed her clothes now because she wanted to wear the dress Hearst gave her for her birthday.

Seeing that his eyes were gloomy with desires, Anaya suddenly realized something.

Her lips curled into a faint smile as her slender arms crossed behind his neck. She tiptoed and whispered into his ear, “Mr. Helms, what did you

think I was going to do?”

Hearst looked down at her. His eyes were dark, and he did not say a word.

He was silent. His right hand, which was wrapped around her waist, moved. He moved his cold fingers upward her waist. Finally, he stopped at the

zipper that he had pulled up for her.

He grabbed it and moved his hand down.

He did not speak and answered her question with his actions.

Anaya blushed from his series of actions and did not dare to flirt with him anymore.

She no longer tiptoed. She then lowered her head and buried it in his chest. Her voice was a little weak. “I won’t make a fuss. Pull it up.”

A smile appeared in Hearst’s eyes, but he did not listen to her. He moved his rough hand up her back along her soft skin.

Anaya trembled and pushed him. “Jared, you…”.

Hearst grabbed Anaya’s chin and forced her to look up.

The rest of Anaya’s words were cut off by a sudden kiss.

When their lips parted, Anaya’s face flushed, and her breathing was a little unstable.

By the time she came back to her senses, the zip had been pulled up.

Her hair was messy, and her lipstick was smeared.

However, Hearst was still dressed in a suit and leather shoes and did not even have a wrinkle on his clothes.

Looking at his calm appearance, Anaya felt a little angry.

She stood on her tiptoes again and bit his neck as if to vent her anger.

Hearst let her throw a tantrum and stood up good-naturedly.

He did not blame her, which made Anaya look a little petty.

Anaya realized this as well and stopped it.

She shot herself in the foot as she said gloomily, “Why didn’t I notice that you were a bad person in the past?”

Hearst smiled. “I’m not as good as you.”

Anaya did not make things clear downstairs, and he thought that she was going to continue the interrupted matter after the grand ceremony.

“So.” Hearst raised his hand and tidied up her hair. “What is the present you mentioned?”

Anaya lowered her head and let him play with her hair.

“What you wanted to do just now.”

The volume was small, but Hearst heard it.

His hands stopped moving, and Anaya added, “But we have to wait until the birthday party is over.”

Anaya spoke quickly, afraid that if she was slow, Hearst would cross the line.

Hearst burst into laughter. “Alright.”

After tidying themselves up, they went downstairs together and returned to the private room.

When Anaya pushed the door open and entered, most of the people in the room were still gathered at the table with only a few sitting on the sofa

drinking and chatting.

Seeing that Anaya returned, Kelton walked over from the table.

He looked around the two and did not ask why Anaya changed her clothes.

Anaya had been away for so long to pick Hearst up. Kelton estimated that they already made out and dirtied their clothes.

It would be untactful for him to ask about it.

“Anaya, your boyfriend is here, too. Should we cut the cake?”

Half an hour ago, Kelton urged Anaya to cut the cake.

Anaya wanted to do that after Hearst arrived.

When Anaya heard the word “boyfriend”, her face turned hot.

She was not used to the way others addressed her relationship with Hearst.

“Let’s do it.”

Hearing this, Kelton called everyone to come over and light the candles. He handed the crystal crown he had prepared to Hearst and asked him to

put it on Anaya.

Anaya was already beyond the age when she would dream of being a princess.

She would find it joyful to wear a crown in her childhood.

But now, she only felt shame.

She felt that it was too childish and did not match her image and temperament.

“Can we not do that? It’s too childish,” Anaya refused.

Hearst consoled her, “It’s fine. It’s not childish. The crown is beautiful and matches your dress.”

As Hearst spoke, he put the crown on Anaya.

Anaya immediately became depressed.

Hearst couldn’t help but laugh.

Anaya was even more depressed.

Kelton handed the task of lighting the candles to Winston and took out a golden crown.

It matched the one Anaya was wearing.

But the crown was sparkling and looked outdated.

“Hearst, I also prepared one for you. It’s a match with Anaya’s. Come, put it on.”

Hearst smiled but did not take it.

Anaya took it, ignored his gaze of resistance, and put it on him.

“You look good with it.

“Your crown looks better than mine.”

After saying that, Anaya couldn’t help but laugh.

He looked like he was a professional in his career who joined a children’s party.

Seeing Anaya smile happily, Hearst walked in front of her.

He bent over and hit her gently on the tip of her ear.

From other people’s point angle, they could not see this and just thought that they were whispering.

The bite was warm and wet and carried a slight pain with it.

Anaya’s heart skipped a beat and she instantly stopped laughing.

She subconsciously looked at the other people in the room.

A few people were looking at them, but she didn’t they discovered it.

Anaya’s palms were covered in sweat, and her heart began to pound.

Hearst quickly let go of her.

Anaya was worried that Hearst would take a step further, so she raised her hand to push his chest away.

She failed.

She heard Hearst whisper, “I’ll deal with you tonight.”

With that, the scent of herbs he had faded away.

4/5

Kelton chatted with someone for a while, and when he turned around, he saw Anaya blush.

He asked, “Is the temperature too high?”

Anaya shook her head, paused, and then nodded.

Kelton was confused.

Was she so excited to celebrate her birthday that she became silly?

After lighting up birthday song.

the candles and turning off the lights, everyone surrounded Anaya and sang her a

In her previous life, no one in the Maltz family cared about her birthday for five years.

Being surrounded by so many people today, she felt even more pleasant than securing a big order.

She used to think that making a wish was childish, but today, she honestly followed the process.

She made a wish, blew out the candles, divided the cake, and received gifts.

Her friends were all generous and Anaya received so many expensive gifts.
