Chapter 368 It Was the Last Time

After the kiss ended, Hearst returned to his senses.

When he thought of what he had done in a moment of impulse, he felt slightly annoyed.

He had endured it for such a long time.

He had been so close but was provoked by her goading.

He knew she was trying to anger him.

He knew it was impossible for her to hook up with another man.

However, he was still enraged just now.

Even if she would never do what she had said, he still felt extremely uncomfortable.

However, no matter how uncomfortable he felt, he should not have touched her.

He had decided to let her go.

"Jared."

When he heard her call him, he looked down at her.

The woman in his arms looked up, her eyes reflecting a bright light. She was trying to look cold but could not refrain from smiling.

Just now, he kissed her because of an impulse. That action seemed to make her think that he decided to patch things up with her.

She asked, "Jared, aren't we going to break up? What are you doing now? Get out and let Landin in."

She said that to provoke him and ignored the cold expression on his face.

He released her and said, "I'm going out now."

Anaya raised her hand and held his waist. "You are lying to me again? You won't do that. Don't lie to me."

Hearst's tone was cold and ruthless. "I didn't lie to you."

"If you are willing to let Landin in, then what were you angry about just now?" Anaya was sure that he would not let Landin in. "You lied to me before that you had fallen in love with someone else, but in the end, it was just a fake marriage with Giana.

"You lied to me so many times. Do you think I will still believe you this time?

"Just now, you looked like you were going to cut ties with me forever, but the next second, you were enraged by me. Why did you pretend?"

Even though he was exposed, Hearst still maintained his attitude. "I didn't pretend."

Anaya didn't believe him and asked, "Do you still want to marry Giana?"

When she asked that question, she was looking forward to hearing his answer.

Judging from Hearst's reaction just now, Anaya guessed the answer he was about to say.

He had kissed her, so he couldn't be stubborn and not want her anymore, right?

However, his answer disappointed her.

After weighing the pros and cons, Hearst finally closed his eyes and hardened his heart. "Yes."

He could not let her watch him walk toward death.

Even if she wanted to, he would not. In the process of advancing toward death, despair would increase.

He would bear the feeling of powerlessness alone.

He did not want to make anyone sad because of his death, especially her.

Because he cared about her the most.

He was the most careful with her.

Hearst's voice was soft as if he was afraid that if he was a bit louder, she would immediately start to make a fuss.

Anaya's heart skipped a beat, and her mind went blank for a moment. Just now, she had been pretending to be cold.

But now she was really cold.

"Jared." She pushed him away, her voice terrifyingly calm. "I just said this was the last time.

"If you leave this place today, I will never come looking for you again.

"Did you hear me clearly?"

"Yes," He let go of her, looked down, and stroked the hair hanging down beside her ears, "You said this was the last time you came to see me."

"Then why did you anger me?"

"Because this is what I want."

He wanted her to never come to him again. It was best to forget that there was someone like him in this world. In this way, when the news of "Prudential Group's Jared and his wife living in seclusion" made the headlines, she would not try to verify it.

She would never know that Hearst, who had pestered her for half a year, actually disappeared from the world.

She would only remember that there was once a heartless man in her life.

As time passed, she would not even remember his face.

She would gradually forget about him, like how she had forgotten her feelings for Joshua.

This result couldn't be any better for him. It was the same for her.

Anaya stared at him and suddenly revealed a smile. "Is this what you want?" If not for the tears in her eyes, others might really think that she was just smiling.

Hearst's heart suddenly lurched. He forced himself not to avoid her gaze and looked at her. "Yes."

This was the last time.

As long as he was not shaken now, she would never come to him again.

His goal was finally about to be achieved.

Finally, he would have what he wanted.

He clenched his fingers tightly into his palms as if he was about to dig out blood.

The person he had tried so hard to keep was no longer his.

After getting his answer, Anaya was utterly disappointed.

"Get out."

Hearst saw the tears streaming down her face, and his whole body froze for a few seconds. He automatically wanted to wipe her tears.

Before he raised his hand, Anaya noticed that he did not move and yelled in a harsher tone, "Get out! I told you to get out! Didn't you hear me?"

The forceful roar, coupled with the tears on her face, left her in a sorry state.

Hearst dropped his hand and finally turned around, opening the bathroom door and leaving.

At the door, Landin and Layla were waiting.

Noticing that he was the only one that came out, the two had different expressions.

Before Hearst could react, Landin quickly pushed open the door and entered.

By the time Hearst reacted to stop him, the door was already closed in front of him.

Hearst wanted to enter and pull Landin out.

But he couldn't.

Just now, he had ended things with Anaya.

If Hearst went in now, he would only make things worse and more complicated.

"Jared..."

Hearing someone call him, Hearst looked toward the source of the sound.

Layla stood 6 feet away from him and carefully asked, "Did you and Anaya not make up?"

He did not reply, his eyes cold. "Were you the one who locked Anaya here?"

Layla understood that he wanted to settle the score. She immediately explained, "No! I was threatened by Anaya! She asked me to lock her up here and then lure you over. I did nothing else!"

After she finished speaking, Hearst instantly understood everything.

Anaya was testing him.

This was the last chance she gave him.

And he gave up on this opportunity.

He also gave up on her.

After Layla finished speaking, she nervously waited for Hearst's reaction.

She thought he would ask her a lot of questions.

But in the end, he just walked away in silence.

He did not say another word.

When Landin entered the bathroom, Anaya was still standing in place.

Her face was covered with tears, and her expression was wooden.

She was silent but looked pitiful.

"Ms. Dutt."

He lowered his voice and called her tentatively.

Anaya looked at him and then walked into a cubicle without a word.

He did not urge her, but quietly stood in place, and waited.

After about three minutes, Anaya came out of the cubicle.

She took off Hearst's expensive suit and changed back to her own clothes.

Before the cubicle door closed, Landin noticed there was a suit jacket in the trash can. It belonged to Hearst.
