SWNOVELS Chapter 353
Chapter 353 Let's Break Up
After the New Year, Hearst had only one day off left.
"Hearst, Giana has sent a message. She said that she can't do anything about your illness." On the phone, Samuel's voice was unusually calm. "Giana is a top expert in this area. But she can't cure your illness. "Hearst, are you going to die?"
Hearst did not respond to him and asked, "Did you find Cristian?"
"No. Cristian probably knew in advance that you would settle accounts with him. He left the country secretly. There has been no news.
"Damn it. If I were to find Cristian, I would kill him!" Samuel gritted his teeth with hatred when he mentioned Cristian.
After finishing cursing, Samuel asked again, "Hearst, have you told Anaya about this? You don't know how many months you can live. If you marry Anaya, you will take her down."
After saying that, Samuel immediately spat, "Don't listen to my nonsense. Hearst, you will live a long life."
Hearst stood on the balcony of the bedroom, staring at the snow in the distance with gloomy eyes.
"I didn't tell Anaya. You and Jayden cannot leak out my illness."
"But you're going to register your marriage tomorrow. Will you go then?"
Right now, they didn't know where Cristian was hiding, and they couldn't find a way to treat Hearst for the time being. If Cristian kept hiding and wanted to get Hearst killed, everything would be over. Anaya would become a widow.
Hearst fell silent for a while. He did not give an answer and directly hung up.
Anaya played chess with Adams and then returned to the room. She saw Hearst standing on the balcony with only a sweater and a pair of trousers. His tall and straight figure looked bleak and lonely against the white snow outside.
There was some snow on Hearst, like a sculpture that was about to be buried in the snow.
Anaya strode over, pulled Hearst back into the house, and helped him flick the snow off his shoulder. "You have not yet recovered. Do you want to catch a cold again?"
Hearst looked down at Anaya and suddenly raised his hand to hold her waist.
Hearst's head was buried in Anaya's neck. His arm around her waist slowly tightened, as if he wanted them to become one.
Anaya was shocked by Hearst's sudden action. She raised her hand to pat his arm and pushed him away. "What are you doing? Don't think that I won't scold you just because you hug me."
Hearst didn't respond, his light-colored lips were particularly thin, giving one the illusion that he was distant.
Seeing that Hearst didn't speak, Anaya called out to him, "Jared?"
Hearst came back to his senses and stared at Anaya for a few seconds before suddenly bending down.
As Hearst's warm breath approached Anaya, Anaya thought that he was going to kiss her. Her heart skipped a beat, and she closed her eyes reflexively.
However, Hearst didn't kiss Anaya.
Hearst leaned close to Anaya's ear and said, "Ana, let's break up."
Hearst's voice was as pleasant as usual, but what he said was like a knife, cutting open Anaya's chest. In an instant, Anaya's hands and feet went cold.
Everything happened too quickly. Even after Hearst walked out of the room, Anaya was still in a state of shock and confusion.
The roar of a car came from downstairs, and Anaya walked to the balcony in a daze.
Outside the house, Hearst's Cayenne had reached the main entrance and slowly disappeared from her sight.
Just now, Anaya thought that Hearst was joking, but the truth told her that he seemed to be serious.
What happened?
A few days ago, Hearst explained to Anaya that he had nothing to do with Giana. He told her not to overthink. Why did Hearst suddenly change his attitude today?
Did Hearst not want to go and register his marriage with Anaya tomorrow?
Hearst had been unwilling to marry Anaya. Could it be that he wanted to break up long ago?
Anaya's mind was a mess. The door of the room was knocked, and she barely snapped out of her thoughts. "Please come in." Adams walked in and asked, "Anaya, I just saw Jared go out. Albert said that Jared took some things with him. Where is he going?"
Adams was observant. In the past two days, there seemed to be a little conflict between Anaya and Hearst. Adams had faintly noticed it.
Anaya maintained her composure. There was no expression on her fair face. "For work, Hearst took some documents with him."
Anaya's voice was not as soft as usual. It was a little cold and hoarse.
Adams didn't ask further. "If you want to tell me, come to me at any time."
Then, Adams turned around and went out.
Yesterday, it was the last snow of the year. Today, the sun was particularly warm and dazzling.
Anaya stood under the sun in sadness.
Jaylon saw that Anaya didn't look good and asked lightly, "Don't you want to see Dad?"
Anaya nodded lightly, and her face was full of fatigue. "Yes."
Anaya was in a bad mood right now, so she didn't have any extra explanation. She silently walked with Jaylon into the airport.
After thinking for a while, Jaylon came to a conclusion. "Did you have a conflict with Hearst?"
Anaya did not respond, which could be considered tacit approval.
Jaylon narrowed his eyes, revealing a fierce look. "Did he cheat on you?"
"No, it's not because of this."
Anaya had a private detective investigate Giana's identity yesterday, but Giana's information was deliberately concealed, and Anaya could not find anything.
But based on the information Anaya had, Anaya believed that Giana and Hearst did not have too close contact.
Anaya felt that Giana was more like Hearst's subordinate, rather than his lover.
Moreover, Anaya believed that Hearst would not betray her.
There must be some other reason why Hearst wanted to break up with her.
Jaylon wanted to say something, but a tall and sturdy man walked up to them.
As tall as the man was, he stood out in the crowded airport. While standing there, he exuded a strong sense of oppression.
The man had fierce facial features. Almost everyone around him took a detour when they saw him.
Anaya had seen Leonard's photo in advance, so she recognized him at a glance.
Anaya hesitated for a few seconds. She did not call him "Dad", but "Senior Mr. Malpas".
Hearing that Anaya called him Senior Mr. Malpas, Leonard frowned.
Leonard looked terrifying. A little girl next to him saw him frown, and the lollipop in her hand fell.
After Leonard noticed it, he bent down to help the little girl pick up the lollipop on the ground and said in a rough voice, "Here you are."
The little girl looked at the lollipop and then at Leonard. Suddenly, she cried.
Leonard frowned more tightly. "Don't cry. I will buy you candy." However, the little girl cried even harder.
"Baby, why are you crying?" The little girl's mother rushed over from the bathroom.
The little girl pointed at Leonard and said with tears, "This man wants to buy me candy. He wants to kidnap me." Leonard was speechless.
