Chapter 417 Who Is That Guy?
When Anaya went to work the next day, Hearst helped her change her shoes into flat ones. He also personally
drove her to the company downstairs and told her not to order takeout at noon because he would send food over.
It was the first time that Anaya knew that Hearst could be so chatty.
At lunchtime, Hearst arranged for someone to send food over.
The food was from a nearby five-star restaurant, but the food was not available on the menu. Anaya guessed that
Hearst had specially asked the chef to cook according to Hearst's request.
Just as Anaya was eating, she received a call from abroad.
It was from Carlee.
She picked up the phone and asked, "Mom, what's up?"
Carlee said, "Your father has recovered a lot. We will come to Boston tomorrow. You ask Mr. Dutt if he is available
because we want to go to Jaylon's house to have a meal together."
Before Leonard was injured, Anaya's parents were ready to return to the country to see Adams.
Now that Leonard could walk, Carlee immediately arranged the trip to Boston.
"It is OK. Adams is not busy usually."
"Alright, then I'll call you tomorrow night. When the time comes, bring Adams over directly."
"Alright."
They chatted for a while more. Carlee looked at Leonard, who was sitting at the side watching TV and secretly
glancing over.
"Leo, do you want to talk to your daughter?"
Leonard retracted his gaze and said in a rough voice, "What is there to talk about? I don't miss her."
"What an old clock." Carlee laughed, "Ana, that's it. I'll hang up. You can go do your own things."
"Okay."
After ending the call, Anaya called Adams to talk about this matter. At the appointed time, she and Hearst went
back to the Dutt's house to pick up Adams.
Jaylon's residence in Boston was a grand villa. It was tranquil and low-key with a tasteful decoration.
The three members of the Malpas family waited in the hall on the first floor of the villa. When Anaya and the others
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtarrived, Carlee and Adams exchanged some polite words and brought people into the dining room.
When they sat down, Hearst first pulled out a chair for Anaya before sitting down beside her.
When the elders saw this, they looked at each other and smiled, feeling somewhat gratified.
Because of the matter between Hearst and Giana, Jaylon had some
prejudice against him.
Seeing Hearst being so natural and considerate toward Anaya, Jaylon had
some good impressions on her future brother-in-law.
When the dishes were served, Carlee chatted a lot with Adams, but
Leonard just sat there without saying a word.
Leonard was an uncommunicative man.
Carlee kicked Leonard under the table, indicating for him to say a few words.
Leonard organized his lines and said, "Mr. Dutt, thank you for taking care of Ana for so many years. If not for you,
we will never know if we could reunite with Ana. Let me propose a toast to you."
Leonard tried to lower his voice as much as possible, a little less ferocious than usual.
"What are you thanking me for? It is only right that I treat Ana as my own granddaughter."
Adams couldn't drink, so he used water as a substitute for wine and clinked
glasses with Leonard.
When the topic returned to Anaya, she had just been taken away a spicy
chicken by Hearst on the grounds of "pregnant women cannot eat spicy and
stimulating food".
"Ana..." Adams called out to Anaya, "Did you hear what we just said?"
"What?" Anaya recovered from the pain of not being able to eat spicy food
for the next few days.
Leonard said seriously, "Your mother asked you when you are going to give
her a grandchild?"
Carlee rolled her eyes at Leonard.
Carlee didn't even say that just now.
Leonard wanted a grandson and even used her name to cover it.
Shame on Leonard.
When Anaya heard this question, her hand trembled and her fork almost fell
to the ground.
She raised her eyes to observe the expressions of Leonard and Carlee. After confirming that the two did not seem
to find out the truth, she said, "I
want to focus on my career now. I'll think about it later."
Hearing this, Leonard obviously felt unhappy. "Fine."
He looked like a big brown bear that had shrunk into a ball.
Carlee held back her laughter and said to Anaya, "If you want to start a career, you don't need to worry about this.
Take your time."
"Okay." Anaya nodded.
Adams originally wanted to urge Anaya to give birth early, but he didn't want
to pressure her, so he didn't say anything.
Halfway through the meal, Jaylon picked up a phone and said something in
the call.
Jaylon frowned. After hanging up the phone, he stood up to go out. "You
guys go ahead. I have something urgent to deal with."
Carlee asked, "Are you going back to the company?"
"Yes, I don't know if I will be back tonight. You don't have to wait for me."
With that, Jaylon strode out.
Jaylon drove as fast as he could.
When Jaylon arrived at the entrance of the Royal Hotel, he immediately saw
the woman standing on the side of the road.
The woman was beautiful. Her temperament was charming and cold.
She rarely smiled, especially when she was in front of Jaylon.
At this moment, she was smiling like a flower, talking and laughing with a
handsome man beside her.
Jaylon lit a cigarette and looked over there quietly.
When the cigarette was burnt out, the two people were still talking as if no
one else was there.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJaylon put out the cigarette, drove forward for a while, turned around, and
stopped less than 30 feet away from her. His dark and deep eyes stared straight at the people on the side of the
road.
Jaylon turned on the emergency flashers, but the woman on the side of the
road never noticed him.
It was not until that man got in a Benz that she turned around and prepared
to leave.
It was at that time that she finally saw the Land Rover parked not far away.
Reina recognized that it was Jaylon's car. Her face turned pale and she turned to walk in the opposite direction.
She had just taken two steps when her cell phone rang.
Reina hung up, but the phone rang again.
She blocked the call, but her Line received a video chat invitation.
She was a little annoyed and answered it.
Before Reina could speak, a low warning sounded from the other side of
the line. "Turn back and get in the car."
Reina said lightly, "What if I don't?"
"If you want to be carried up by me in public, I can give you that too."
Reina tightened her grip on her phone.
Jaylon used to live on the edge of the law, and his physical strength was
excellent.
Moreover, Jaylon appeared here so coincidentally, so he might have arranged for someone to monitor her.
If he wanted to catch Reina, Reina couldn't escape.
She pursed her lips, hung up the phone, put away the phone, and walked
back to his car. She opened the door of the passenger seat and got in the
car.
"Mr. Malpas, what do you want?"
Jaylon rested his hand on the car window. The cuffs of his black shirt were rolled up to his elbow, revealing a small
part of his smooth muscles.
He stared at her with his dark eyes and asked in a hoarse voice, "Who is that guy?"
