Reborn: Another Chance to Leave U

Chapter 386

Chapter 386 Another Man

Outside the window, the traffic was heavy, and the cars were racing. But at this moment, everything seemed to have vanished.

Landin quietly looked at Anaya, waiting for her answer.

Anaya was shocked for a moment, then laughed, "Landin, you usually don't seem like someone who would joke like this."

"I was not joking." Landin could tell that she was avoiding answering to show him some respect, but he wanted a clear answer.

At the very least, he wanted to let her know his thoughts and bravely pursue her, instead of just treating her like an ordinary friend.

Landin no longer wanted to hear her tell him how much she liked Jared.

"Ana, I hope that if I get lost again, you will always be the one who helps me find the direction."

Anaya wanted to say that it would be tiring, but she could tell that it was not the time for joking.

She said without any hesitation, "Sorry, I don't intend to let go of Jared."

Landin wasn't surprised to hear that. He pursed his thin lips and did not speak again.

They were quiet all the way.

The car stopped at the entrance of the research institute. Anaya

immediately opened the door and got out of the car.

Landin got out of the car and spoke to her, "Ana, I just told you my thoughts. I hope you won't avoid seeing me because you feel embarrassed.

"If you don't like me, I won't force you to do anything."

Anaya stopped and did not look back. She turned her back to him and said, "Mr. Giles, I am in a relationship with Jared. Although he makes me angry sometimes, I will always stand by his side.

"I have a boyfriend. It seems inappropriate for you to say these words to me today.

"I can pretend that nothing happened tonight. I hope you will not mention this matter again."

She alienated him. Landin noticed the change in her attitude. He felt stuffy in his chest as if it was covered by a black net. It wasn't heartbreaking, but it was suffocating.

"He wanted to marry Giana before. Even if you accept me, there is nothing wrong with it."

Anaya turned around with a firm look in her eyes. "Let's not talk about the fact that he and Giana were just faking it. Even if he chose to betray me, I would never cheat on him.

"No matter what he did, at least when I am in a relationship with him, I would never have any affair with another man.

"Mr. Giles, I believe you are an upright person. You should understand what I mean."

Anaya was accusing Landin of interfering with her relationship with Jared.

Landin did not speak again. Anaya looked at him one last time and turned to leave.

When she entered the research institute, she heard a scream coming from a room on the first floor.

Anaya was shocked and her heavy mood was thrown to the back of her mind.

She looked up at the source of the sound and happened to see Giana wearing a white coat and a gas mask coming out from inside.

Anaya asked curiously, "What's going on inside?"

Giana took off her gas mask and gloves and threw them into the trash can.

"Samuel somehow made Mr. Helms angry tonight and was sent to Laos overnight. Just now, when Samuel was taken out, he stepped on the broken well cover and fell into the sewer.

"His leg was injured and he was sent back for treatment."

"The sewer?" Anaya suddenly understood why Giana was wearing a gas mask.

She still wanted to ask a few more questions, but someone called her.

Anaya picked up and heard Landin's voice. "One of my tires was flat. I'm still at the entrance of the research institute. Do you have any backup tires?"

Anaya wasn't sure if this was an excuse or if the tire was really flat. She remained silent.

Landin probably knew her concerns and said, "If it's inconvenient for you, you can ask someone to give me the backup tire."

Anaya hesitated for a moment and said, "Tell me the model of the tire. I'll ask them if they have any."

"Okay."

Giana waited for Anaya to hang up before asking, "Are you looking for a

tire?"

"Yes, my friend's tire was flat. He is now at the entrance of the research

institute."

"I happen to have a spare tire of this model that you want. I can give it to

you."

Anaya was silent for a while and said, "Can I ask you to carry it out for me?"

Anaya didn't want to see Landin for the time being.

Giana readily agreed. "No problem. What does your friend look like?"

"He's a man. He's quite tall. He's at the door. You should be able to see him

when you go out."

"Okay, I'll go now."

Giana walked out and suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to ask

about the price.

When she turned back, Anaya had left.

Giana thought about it and did not chase after her. Instead, she went to find

the tire.

She thought, anyway, Ms. Dutt's friend would give her the money. It doesn't matter who I talk to.

Anaya returned to Hearst's room and opened the door. The room was dark.

When she turned on the light, she saw Hearst sitting on the bed, leaning

against the milky white pillow, looking straight at her.

For some reason, she suddenly felt a little guilty.

She casually placed her bag on the sofa and took off her coat. "Why didn't

you turn on the lights?"

Hearst quietly stared at her and did not answer.

Anaya was even more afraid. She looked around the room and noticed a

box of snacks on the table.

"You bought snacks?"

Hearst finally spoke, "Samuel sent it over."

Anaya took a bag of snacks and opened it. "Oh right, why did you send Samuel abroad? The living conditions in Laos are quite tough, right?"

"He said that you cheated on me." This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Hearst's voice was calm and steady, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Anaya trembled, and the potato chips that she had just taken out almost fell to the ground.

She pretended to be calm and ate the potato chips. She laughed dryly, "Pure nonsense. He should be punished."

After she finished laughing, Hearst did not laugh with her.

Anaya changed the topic again, "How are you today? I think you look better."

"Slightly better than yesterday."

"Oh."

They suddenly became silent.

After a long time, when Anaya was about to finish chewing the last potato

chip, Hearst finally spoke.

"Ana, come here."

Anaya threw away the bag and walked to the bedside.

"What is it?"

Hearst reached out to pull her into his arms and sniffed her hair. "You have

the smell of another man."

He had already said it so clearly. Anaya would be an idiot if she didn't

understand.

"Landin drove me back today. It was his smell."

Anaya was originally sitting on the edge of the bed. She thought that his

body was not well and was worried that he would have a hard time hugging

her, so she took off her shoes and went to bed, gently leaning against his

chest.

Hearst rested his chin on her shoulder, and his warm breath landed on her

neck.

She felt a bit itchy through her hair.

"What did you say to him downstairs just now?"

"You arrived and he was still reluctant to leave you, huh?"
