Chapter 344 He’s Here
Nina felt her scalp tingling with fear at Liam''s dark gaze.
Mr. Ackman''s aura was too strong!
His eyes were like two sharp des at her throat, causing her teeth to tremble in fear.
She shrank backwards and chuckled, not knowing how to answer.
Michael looked at the two of them in confusion, "What happened? Nina, what did you lie to him
about?”
Nina cleared her throat, croaking out augh, "No... nothing, hah, uhm...Mr. Ackman must be here
to see you, you guys go ahead, I''ll head back in and apany my mom."
With that, she turned and ran away before Michael could say anything.
Nina returned to the ward, hurriedly took out her phone and sent Anna a message.
"Mrs. Ackman, save me!!!"
When Anna received Nina''s message, she was at Jamie''s bar, sharing a drink with him.
The words ''Mrs. Ackman'' gave her a shock, then she immediately called Nina and realized Liam
had found out about Nina and Michael’s rtionship.
During the conversation, Nina kept calling her Mrs. Ackman, Anna was torn, she didn''t know
whether tough or cry.
Nina finally sighed a breath of relief and ended the call after Annaforted her, promising her time
and time again that she wouldn’t be fired by Liam.
Anna looked at Jamie who was wriggling his brows at her and red at him.
"Wow...Mrs. Ackman sure is strong and dominating, even your eyes look so fierce, dare I ask
whether the M r. Ackman is who I think it is?"
Anna blushed, bowed her head and fiddled with the ss of wine in her hands, murmuring under
breath," Go away."
"Ha-ha-ha...”
Jamieughed brightly, a hand on his hip, the other flicking her forehead with a light snap. "My dear,
your guilty expression has given you away entirely.”
"It''s not at all what you think," Anna said glumly.
"Why? He slept with you and doesn''t want to take responsibility?”
Anna hurriedly pped a hand over his mouth," Shush, keep your voice down.”
Jamie avoided her hand and said with augh, "Fine, fine, then answer me this, he wants to leave
you?"
Anna rested her forehead on her palm, sighed and opened her mouth, telling him everything that
had happened between her and Liam.
Perhaps Jamie was the one who would understand her best.
He could always point out the right actions she should take.
After listening to her allegations andints, he found the situation funny and yet a part of him
ached for her, even detecting an unusual sweetness between the two of them.
He filled her ss with more wine, stared directly at her and said, "I never expected my bar to be
the ce for your first time, tsk tsk tsk.”
Anna rolled her eyes at him, face heating up slightly.
Jamie chuckled and continued, "Even though he''s too dominating and insufferably arrogant, I think
he likes you.
Otherwise, he won''t draft that stupid agreement to keep you by his side."
Anna''s eyes shed with joy, then dimmed, and smiled wryly, "But somehow, I always feel that he is
very far away from me, that he does not belong to me."
"Foolish little girl, is the result that important? Sometimes when you think about it, the most
important thing in life is experience and process."
Anna looked at his chin cocked purposely at a 45-degree angle, putting on a knowing air, and
laughed, teasing him, "Are you trying to be a philosopher? Reciting poems thest time and
now discussing life? This depth, I have to say I''m amazed."

Jamie red at her, maintaining his posture, took out his phone and took a selfie.
"Hmm, I like this picture, I look so dark and mysterious."
Anna almost spit out the wine in her mouth, pping a hand against her mouth and giving him a
thumbs u P-
"As the youngsters say these days, you''re dope!"
Jamie uploaded the photo onto his social media and pouted, "See how easily satisfied you are, he
just used half of his strength and you’re already so happy."
She knew he was just trying to cheer her up and her chest warmed up, "I''m so d to have you, but
I only agree with half of your words.
Experience is important but in love, if we can''tst till the end, then all the effort we put in, all the
worry, what does it count for? Risk investment?
Besides, those that poured their hearts out but couldn’t get anything in return, and then they say ''it''s
fine, as long as I experienced love,’ I think they''re just saying it because they have no choice, but in
fact they’re suffering inside, aren''t they?"
Listening to her firing off her speech, Jamie felt she seemed different, more matured, but somehow,
his heart ached at the sight, and said, "It seems like you’ve grown a lot since thest I saw you, I''m
relieved.”
Anna burst out intoughter, "Looking at you like this, you remind of something Nina said."
"What?"
"She thinks you’ve been possessed by my mother''s soul, ha-ha..."

"Come on, my dear girl, call me Mommy,” Jamie joked, his pinkie curled femininely in the air.
The low in Anna''s eyes dimmed instantly.
Jamie hated himself for saying the wrong things, smacked himself on the mouth and held Anna''s
hand, "Babe..."
"I haven’t called anyone Mom in a long, long while, it’s been so long that I’m afraid I''m forgetting
what she looks like, her smile and the sound of her voice."
After leaving Liam''s vi, she went to Lake Nora, and sat quietly in the spot where her daughter
loved to sit t o and gaze.
But in that moment, all the fine details that were embedded in her memory, started to blur and fade.
Anxiety and despair coursed through her, so instinctively she thought of Jamie, wanting toe
here to seekfort and a ce to calm herself.
Jamie felt his heart squeeze in his chest, caressing her face lovingly, for a moment, he was at a lost
for words, and didn’t know how tofort her.
"Alright, alright, enough about me. Let’s talk about you, I came all the way here to see you." Anna
hurriedly switched the topic of conversation, trying to lighten the heavy atmosphere.
Jamie rolled his eyes flirtatiously, "Who was the one who walked in begging forfort like a
wronged wife, how dare you say you purposely came to see me?"
Then, he huffed a breath onto the cup and took his time wiping the crystal clean.
"Besides, about me, what’s there to talk about?"
The bright neon lights in the bar shone on his face, enveloping him in a multi-colored haze, making
him look lonely and dejected.
Anna opened her mouth, "Haven''t found him yet?”
She was talking about the foreign man that dominated Jamie''s dreams.
He nodded, "Yeah, I''ve looked everywhere but I couldn''t track down a single strand of his care,
sometimes I wonder whether he got on someone’s wrong side and was murdered, and his body
taken care of."
"Your metaphor seems sort of violent, do you have to b e so cruel and curse him?"
"What else can I do? Didn''t they say the best way to forget about someone is to print a ck and
white photo of him, put it in a frame, and pray ''he’s dead, he’s dead''."
It was initially something to mourn over, but with his description, she really wasn’t sure whether she
shouldfort him or praise him for being optimistic.
She smiled, "Don’t worry, you''ve tried so hard to look for him, I''m sure even the Heavens have been
touched by your effort, who knows, he might just fall into yourp when you least expect it, all you
have to do is wait patiently.”
Jamie suddenly froze, the cup in his hand falling to the floor with a ng and smashing into pieces.
His expression switched from shock into crazed delight, murmuring under his breath, "Babe, if I
knew your words were blessed by the Heavens, I would''ve hired you at my bar a long time ago."
"Huh?!" Anna was confused.
Jamie slowly held up his arm, finger trembling in excitement and pointed towards the direction of the
entrance, looking as if he was going to burst into a flood of happy tears.
"I don''t need to wait anymore. He''s here." "What?!"
