Chapter 370 He and I Have Broken Up
Leonard helped Anaya serve the dishes, and the family of three sat around the dining table.
Carlee had a bite of the chicken sandwich and then praised Anaya for her good cooking skills.
After that, Carlee glanced at Leonard, "Leo, why don't you speak? How do you like the food Anaya made?"
Leonard kept a straight face. "It's fine."
"Tsk." Carlee clicked her tongue in disgust and said to Anaya, "What a dishonest man! Actually, he thinks that the food that you made is delicious."
Leonard frowned and kicked Carlee under the dining table.
Carlee pretended not to understand what he meant. "Why did you kick me? Why don't you say it in front of Ana?"
Leonard's face was extremely gloomy. He looked vicious as if he wanted to kill someone.
Carlee was not afraid at all, and she was still snickering.
Anaya looked at the couple and could not help but laugh.
After breakfast, Anaya said to her parents.
"Dad and Mom, if you have time, can you come back with me to see my grandpa? Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
"I'd like to talk to him about you."
Previously, the matter here had not been settled yet, so Anaya did not intend to tell Adams so soon that she had found her own parents.
Now it was all settled. Carlee and Leonard treated her with all their hearts. It was time for Anaya to tell Adams about her parents.
Hearing Anaya's words, Leonard and Carlee were overjoyed.
Since Anaya was willing to bring them to see Adams, it meant that Anaya had accepted them.
Carlee hurriedly asked, "When are we departing? Leo and I can leave right now."
Leonard cleared his throat to conceal his excitement. "I've got a lot of work on hand. You name a day, and I'll see whether I have time or not."
Carlee kicked Leonard and then winked at Anaya.
Anaya understood what Carlee meant. She held back her laughter and said, "How about tomorrow? Dad, will you be free?"
Leonard pretended to think for a moment before saying, "Yes, I will."
Anaya pondered for a while and seemed to suddenly remember something. She said, "Oh, no. I have an appointment with a friend of mine here tomorrow... How about the day after tomorrow, Dad?"
Leonard replied without hesitation, "No problem."
Anaya continued, "Sorry, but I just remember that I've set to discuss business with the Simpson family the day after tomorrow. How about you guys stay to handle the work instead of going back? I'm not sure when I can go back."
When Leonard heard that it could be canceled, he hurriedly said, "No problem. Any day is okay for me."
With that, Leonard saw both Carlee and Anaya looking at him with smiles.
Leonard did not realize until then that he had been tricked by the mother and daughter. Leonard blushed as he recalled what he had said. Then he grabbed his coat and went out.
Leonard quickened his pace as if he were chased after by a ghost.
"Look, how stubborn your dad is!" Carlee laughed for a while before saying to Anaya, "When are you going back?"
"The day after tomorrow. It's Sunday. My brother is free that day. Let's have dinner together."
The brother she referred to was Jaylon.
Jaylon was busy at work in America. That was why he did not come back with Anaya this time.
Carlee hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then, in regards to Jared... What are you going to do?"
The smile on Anaya's face faded a little. "He and I... have broken up." In her relationship with Joshua, Anaya had lost the courage to run after someone regardless of everything.
During these days, she had plucked up her courage to run after Hearst. However, Hearst was not touched at all, and he even hurt her time and time again.
Anaya would get hurt and tired, too.
Last night, she had already pushed Hearst to a dead-end.
However, Hearst would rather be suffering than change his mind.
Since Hearst had made up his mind, no matter how much Anaya did, it would be useless.
Anaya had a family and a career now, and she just didn't have Hearst.
Anaya was in thought, without him, I can still run the company well now.
Without him, I can still take good care of my family now.
Without him, I can still live a good life now.
Without him...
"Ana."
"Huh?"
Anaya looked up when she heard Carlee calling her.
Carlee was standing next to her, but she could not see Carlee's face.
Anaya did not realize until then that her eyes were already misty and that her cheeks were cold.
Looking at Anaya like this, Carlee felt very distressed and held Anaya in her arms.
"Ana, if you really can't let go of that guy, Leo and I will help you snatch him back."
"Forget it, Mom." Anaya raised her hands and wrapped her arms around Carlee's waist, resting her face on Carlee's stomach. Then Anaya felt slightly at ease. "No one can force Jared to do what he doesn't want to."
Even if Jared could be forced, Anaya wouldn't want to.
Using this method to keep Jared by her side was nothing more than torturing each other.
The matter between Bryant and Silvia was such an example.
Anaya hugged Carlee with her eyes closed. "Maybe, I will forget about him after a while."
Since she could forget about Joshua, Anaya was sure that she could forget about Hearst, too.
Now, the most important thing for her to do was to take good care of her family and focus on her work.
Since Anaya had said so, Carlee had no other choice but to gently pat her back to comfort her. In the afternoon, Anaya was still depressed. Carlee decided to take Anaya to go shopping to help Anaya get rid of her bad mood by purchasing things.
Carlee bought Anaya a lot of clothes and jewelry. In less than an hour, their hands were already full of things.
Carlee was afraid that Anaya would be tired, so she found a coffee shop to rest.
They entered the coffee shop and took seats. After a little while, Carlee got a call. After that, she said to Anaya, "I found someone to help us carry things. I'll go out to pick him up now, and you wait for me here."
Anaya nodded.
Carlee put away her phone and went out.
Ten minutes later, Carlee did not come back, but man came in.
When Anaya and Landin met each other's eyes, both of them were stunned.
"Where is my mom?"
"Where is Mrs. Malpas?"
They spoke at the same time. Soon, they realized that neither of them seemed to have known that the other party would come here. It seemed that Carlee was the one who got them together.
Last night, Anaya heard Carlee say that she would try to fix her up with
Landin. She had thought that her mother was just saying. To her surprise,
Carlee took the action so quickly.
Carlee said it the first night and acted the next day.
Anaya called Carlee a few times, but she could not get through.
Anaya looked at Landin with a face of apology. "Sorry, Mr. Giles. I didn't know that my mother called you over. Sorry for the waste of your time."
"No problem. I don't mind."
Or rather, Landin was very grateful to Carlee.
"Ms. Dutt, are these things to be taken away?"
Anaya nodded. "Yes. Let's carry them together."
Then Anaya went to the counter to pay the bill, carried the stuff, and went downstairs with Landin.
When Anaya arrived at the parking lot, she found that Carlee had driven the car away.
Anaya had no choice but to get in Landin's car.
