Chapter 385


    Chapter 385 Leave Jared to Date Me


    Nadia recalled, "When I was still in school, I once adored Jaylon. But every time I tried to talk to him, he


    always ignored me. Soter, I gave up on him."


    She continued, "Jaylon doesn''t show interest in any particr woman. He doesn''t even have any


    hobbies. All that''s in his mind seems to be work. That''s why I felt amazed when Reina entered his life


    and immediately sent someone to investigate her identity."


    Nadia kept exining, "At that time, Reina was a part-time intern at the Mimo Group. Most of the time,


    she just ran some errands.


    "Once, Jaylon asked me to apany him to an event. But I was too busy to apany him. So he


    took Reina with him.


    "Reina is smart and careful with words, so she made a goodpanion. Gradually, Jaylon gets used to


    attending such events with her. As time goes by, their rtionship advances.


    "And then, Reina''s father had cancer and needed arge amount of money for treatment. Since she


    was favored by Jaylon, they made a deal. He paid for her father''s medical bills in exchange for a


    ''private partner''.


    "Later, when Reina''s father passed away, she ended this rtionship with Jaylon. And I haven''t seen


    her since then."


    Nadia said, "I only heard Jaylon say once that after Reina returned to the country, she got with


    someone else. She and Jaylon ended thoroughly."


    Anaya had a feeling that Jaylon and Reina knew each other, but she didn''t expect that their past


    rtionship would be soplicated.


    She asked, "Other than this, do you know anything else about them?"


    "That''s all I know," Nadia answered frankly. Yet she suddenly thought of something and said, "I


    remember that when Reina was with Jaylon, she seemed to be insulted badly by his subordinates."


    Nadia told Anaya, "One time, one of Jaylon''s men broke into her dormitory and tried to rape her. I


    saved her that time.


    "Judging from her reaction that day, she seemed to be often humiliated by Jaylon''s subordinates when


    she was with him. She had a pretty tough life."


    Hearing this, Anaya looked at Nadia in shock.


    Nadia knew what she was thinking and said, "Don''t look at me like that. Although I''m not well-educated,


    I have my moral principles."


    Anaya was silent for a few seconds and then asked, "Did my brother know what she had been


    through?"


    "He knew," said Nadia. "Back then, Reina told him several times that she was insulted by his


    subordinates, but Jaylon did not take it seriously and told her not to make a scene about it. After the


    ident I just told you, she never talked about such things to him again."


    Nadia added, "And not long after, she ended her rtionship with Jaylon peacefully and went back to


    America."


    After learning this, Anaya frowned.


    ording to Nadia''s words, Jaylon sounded like an absolute jerk.


    Anaya thought maybe she should have helped Reina when Jaylon pestered her.


    Seeing that Anaya did not respond, Nadia asked, "Do you have any other questions? If not, I''m


    leaving."


    Anaya replied, "No more. Sorry to trouble you."


    Nadia got up and left.


    Before long, Carlee came over. "Ana, what were you talking about with Nadia just now?"


    Anaya concealed her feelings and said, "Nothing."


    Carlee did not ask further. She said, "I''m going back now. Do you want toe with me?"


    Anaya refused, "I''m not done here yet, so I won''t be going back tonight."


    Carlee said with displeasure, "Are you going to see Jared again?"


    She said, "It''s so obvious that he wants some treats from you. He''ll take advantage of you if you go to


    see him.


    "A woman to another, I suggest you be more careful. There are too many irresponsible men. What if he


    took advantage of you and refused to


    shoulder the responsibility?"


    Anaya did not know how to respond.


    Where are her worries from? she wondered.


    "Mom, Jared is not that kind of person. He is very good to me," Anaya


    defended him.


    Carlee disagreed, "I don''t think someone so good to you would marry


    another woman. Who does he think he is? An emperor?"

    She then said, "In my opinion, you should date an upright and responsible


    person like Landy. He can make a great husband."


    Anaya stopped her nonsense, "Mom, I have told you that neither Landin nor


    I see each other that way. Stop trying to match us up."


    She added, "And I have also exined to you about Jared. He is now


    injured. I have to take care of him."


    Carlee thought, he has so many subordinates and servants, why must you


    take care of them?


    But she didn''t say that out atst.


    Now that Anaya was in love with him, she couldn''t listen to words from


    anyone. If Carlee said so, she would only irritate Anaya.


    Carlee sighed and mourned for her family status.


    Carlee let out a long sigh and said, "Forget it. It''s fine as long as you like


    him. I can''t do anything to change your mind, can I?"


    She suggested, "How about I send someone over with you? No one can


    help you when you are bullied there if you''re alone."


    Anayaforted her, "No one bullied me. Mom, don''t worry about it."


    Carlee gave in, "Alright, I''ll call the driver to send you there."


    Anaya didn''t turn this offer down and said, "Okay."


    Coming out of the Hornsby''s house, Carlee apanied Anaya to wait for


    the car by the roadside.


    When Landin saw them, he walked over and asked, "Mrs. Hornsby, Ana, are


    you still not leaving?"


    Carlee exined, "Ana doesn''t go with me. I''ll go as soon as I see her off."


    The city was not very safe at night. She wouldn''t leave carefreely without seeing Anaya get in the car


    safely.


    Landin looked at Anaya and asked, "Where are you going? I can drive you."


    Anaya said with a suspicious look, "Are you sure you won''t get lost?"


    Landin was left speechless.


    After a while, he said, "Maybe I don''t know the way, but my driver surely


    does."


    Anaya smiled and said, "Alright, then I''ll ept your offer with gratitude."


    "It''s not a big deal." Landin couldn''t hide the pleasure in his eyes.


    Carlee sensed his feelings but did not say anything. She said, "Okay, then I''ll


    go. Be careful on your way."


    "Okay," Anaya promised her.


    After getting into the car, Landin and Anaya sat in the back.


    The driver asked, "Ms. Dutt, where are you going?"


    After Anaya told the driver her destination, Landin was a little surprised and


    asked, "You live in the research institute?"


    Anaya answered while fastening her seatbelt, "No, it''s Jared. He hasn''t been


    in good health recently, so he''s been taking treatment there."


    Landin felt a little jealous. "You were with him yesterday?" he asked.


    "Yes," Anaya admitted frankly.


    Landin tilted his head to look at her.


    The silver light cast through the window and fell on Anaya''s face, outlining


    her perfect portrait.


    She is as beautiful as the day I first met her, thought Landin.


    However, no matter how pretty she was, she wouldn''t be his.


    Landin clutched at his pants in jealousy, and soon let go. He asked in a


    tender voice, "He abandoned you before. Why are you still so faithful to


    him?"


    Anaya exined, "He was forced to abandon me. The reasons areplicated."


    Landin didn''t buy it. "How do you know that his excuses are real?"


    "I just know."


    Seeing that she trusted Jared so much, Landin had rather mixed feelings.


    He said in a low voice, "Ms. Dutt."


    "What?" Anaya turned to look at him.


    "If I say that I fall for you, will you consider leaving Jared to date me?"
