Reborn: Another Chance to Leave U by Hazel Ramirez

Chapter 301 You Are Never the One I Want

It was a long time before Joshua calmed down and came back to his senses. "You decided to marry Hearst?"

Joshua asked in a hoarse and shaky voice.

Joshua thought to himself, they are already going to get married?

How long have Anaya and I been divorced?

More than half a year.

And after just over half a year, Anaya has actually decided to remarry someone else!

Anaya did not avoid Joshua's question and replied firmly, "Yes.

I won't allow it." Joshua gritted his teeth.

Joshua thought, Anaya should be mine.

How could Anaya betray me and choose to marry someone else?

Anaya said coldly, "It's none of your business, Mr. Maltz.

Joshua stared at Anaya for a long time. The anger in his eyes gradually dissipated and turned into a deep

melancholy.

Of course, there was more unwillingness.

Anaya, you said that to spite me, right?

Joshua waited, hoping to get a satisfactory answer from Anaya.

However, what Anaya said then shattered the last trace of hope in Joshua's heart. "I do want to annoy you, but

I am not lying about this."

■i

Why?" Joshua's voice suddenly became very soft, as if he was muttering to himself, "I was clearly by

your side before Hearst. You've liked me for ten years, how could you..."

■i

No, you are never the one to be by my side first," Anaya coldly interrupted Joshua.

"What do you mean?" Joshua frowned.

Do you know why I suddenly started to get close to you when I was in middle school?"

Why?" Joshua felt uneasy.

Because at that time, I mistook you for Hearst," Anaya said slowly and every word she said gradually broke

Joshua's heart. "From the beginning, the person I wanted was not you, Joshua."

Liar!

Joshua suddenly stood up. The chair was pushed out and crashed into the people at the table behind him.

Joshua's voice was not low, and the people nearby all looked over curiously.

Joshua was so angry that he completely ignored the gazes of the people around him. He said furiously. "I look

completely different from Hearst. How can you be mistaken?"

In the face of Joshua's query, Anaya was still very calm. "Because Hearst once lived in your family's manor. At

that time, he wore a mask all the time, and I couldn't see his face, so I thought it was you.

■i

If you don't believe what I said, you can check it yourself and see if a child named Jared Helms lived in

your family's estate ten years ago."

After explaining everything, Anaya picked up her bag. Before leaving, she did not forget to finish the show to

express her anger at Joshua for his snatching the shares of the KKL Group. "Since I'm done speaking, I will

take my leave first. In addition, I will remember the gift you gave to the Riven Group today, Mr. Maltz.

Another day, I will definitely return the favor.

Anaya turned and left. On the table, the coffee Joshua had ordered for her remained untouched.

Even when Anaya was gone, Joshua was still staring at the door.

A waitress came forward and reminded Joshua, "Sir, please return to your seat and do not make a loud noise

that will disturb the other guests..."

Before the waitress could finish her words, Joshua glared at her.

Joshua looked so scary that the waitress was shocked and subconsciously took a step back.

In the end, Joshua did not say anything and strode out of the coffee shop.

After Anaya returned to the company, Tim handed her all the files about the KKL Group.

Anaya opened the files and carefully checked if there were any loopholes.

Tim hesitated for a moment and said, "Ms. Dutt, the money for the equity transaction can only be transferred

tomorrow. What if Mr. Maltz finds out in advance that something is wrong..."

Anaya did not look up and said lightly, "Don't worry, Joshua is not in the mood to care about such things today."

The reason why Anaya exposed what happened in the past at noon to Joshua was to disturb Joshua and

make him unable to care about other things.

Since Anaya had said so, Tim was relieved and left.

On Joshua's side, after leaving the coffee shop, he immediately asked Alex to check if anyone had lived in the

manor of the Maltz family before.

However, it was too long ago to find out an answer in a short time.

Joshua waited for a few hours and did not get an answer. He directly called Cecilia and asked if Jared had

lived in their manor for a short period of time back then.

Cecilia quickly gave a positive answer after recalling for a moment.

The head of the Helms family and Joshua's dead father used to be good friends, and Cecilia had been in

contact with the Helms family a few times.

The Helms family was a big family abroad, and Cecilia always remembered the affairs of these big shots

clearly.

Cecilia recalled, "At that time, Jared was beaten up by his father. His father was worried about being scolded

by his grandfather, so Jared was left to recuperate in our house.

I remember that there was a little girl who also lived in our house at that time. I didn't know where she came

from, and she seemed to have a good relationship with Jared.

Once the little girl lost a teddy bear and Jared asked me to get someone to help her find it..."

At that time, Cecilia did not look at the little girl carefully. After a long time, Cecilia could hardly remember the

image of the girl. As a result, when Cecilia saw Anaya again, she only felt that Anaya was familiar, but she

could not remember where she had seen Anaya before and did not recognize that Anaya was the little girl.

Cecilia said a lot of things that happened that year, but Joshua could not hear clearly what exactly she said.

Joshua felt his ears buzzing, and his mind was a mess.

The manor, the teddy bear, and the masked youth all flashed back to Joshua's mind.

The memories that had been sealed in the past seemed to have been suddenly awakened.

In middle school, when Anaya just tried to approach Joshua, she often told him about what had happened in

the manor.

At that time, Joshua had thought that Anaya was just spouting nonsense, using this excuse to pester him all

day.

Joshua was so annoyed that he always gave Anaya nasty words.

However, Anaya was so good-tempered that she did not care about that and continued to pester Joshua every

day. But gradually, she no longer mentioned things that had happened in the manor.

And Joshua also sealed this not-so-rare memory together with other ordinary memories into a box of time.

If Anaya had not mentioned the past today, Joshua might never have remembered this.

Joshua thought to himself, when I was in a car accident, Anaya came to find me with the teddy bear. Was it to

confirm this matter?

At that time, Anaya seemed to have no feelings for Hearst. If I said at that time that the teddy bear was made

by me, would there be a possibility between us?

However, at that time, all of Joshua's thoughts were on Lexie. Even if Anaya changed her mind at that time,

Joshua would most likely still leave her.

There used to be so many chances for Joshua to recover his relationship with Anaya.

But every time, Joshua only pushed Anaya further and further away.

Losing something was far more painful than never having gotten it in the beginning.

Joshua had hurt the girl chasing him again and again.

Now, when Joshua regretted it, the girl was already ready to marry someone else.
