Reborn: Another Chance to Leave U by Hazel Ramirez novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140 No More Blood Transfusion This Time

“Are you home now?”

Hearst‘s voice came from the phone, as pleasant as ever.

“Yes. Why?” Anaya continued to search for movies lising the remote.

“Open the door.”

Anaya tightened her grip on the remote. She had a presumption.

She thought, didn‘t he say he would stay abroad for at least a week?

He‘s back already?

She stood up and walked towards the entrance.

She asked the man on the other end of the line, “Are you at the door?”

Hearst did not answer and waited for her to open the door to verify.

Anaya approached the entrance, and for some reason, she had some anticipation.

She opened the door.

In the empty corridor, she saw nothing but a small bottle of candy on the ground.

“You are not back?” Anaya bent down and picked up the bottle.

“No. I‘ın still in Las Vegas.”

Anaya leaned against the door and could not help but smile, “Mr. Helms, since when do you make those small jokes?”

“Samuel said I should keep you at arm‘s length. That‘s the way to attract you always.”

Anaya teased, “He sounds like a relationship therapist.”

“Then tell me, were you looking forward to it just now?” She heard his pleasant, low laugh from the phone.

“Have a guess.” Anaya fiddled with the bottle in her hand.

“I think you were expecting me.”

Anaya refused to admit it. She said, “Mr. Helms, you‘re reading too inuch into it.”

Hearst did not argue with her. The two chatted for a while and ended the call.

A

ya was in a much better mood. After dinner and watching a movie, slie went back to bed.

The next day, she received a text message from Kelton, asking her to go out for dinner at night.

Since Karley returned, she had not been in touch with Kelton.

Now that Karley was confirmed as Adams’ granddaughter, Kelton was no longer Anaya‘s cousin.

Alter the matter was exposed, Anaya had not contacted anyone from the Lomas family, more or less because she was avoiding them

But she couldn‘t just run away from the fact

She replied to Kelton: “Text me the time and place.”

After receiving his reply. Anaya contacted the private investigator who had worked for her earlier and had her parents identities checked.

Though it was a long shot, she would try.

It was night, and Anaya went to the hotel.

Kelion booked a private room. Anaya asked the hotel reception for the floor and headed for the elevator.

When she went over, the elevator doors were about to close.

she quickened her pace and walked over, pressing the up button.

The elevator doors opened again, and she noticed the four people inside.

It was Joshua, Lexie, Bria, and Cecilia.

It was like a small family gathering

When the four people saw her, they had different expressions.

Without changing her expression, Anaya stepped into the elevator to press the floor button, only to find that the button for the floor she was heading to had been pressed already.

she would go to the same floor as those from the Maltz family.

Seeing that Anaya did not press the floor button, Bria muttered, “She isn‘t going to follow us up, is she?”

Anaya thought, normally, there‘s only one reason why Lexie would talk to me. Lexie wants to maintain her gentle and kand image

Cecilla, on the other hand, has always been at odds with me. Why would she be so enthusiastic today?

Lexie thought, does she find me not good enough? And she is now trying to win Anaya back?

Anaya pursed her lips. “Mr. Maltz, don‘t you think you think too highly of yourself? I‘m here to eat with my cousin. How come i‘m a stalker in your mouth?

“Isn‘t stalking your favorite thing to do? i‘m not you, Mr. Maltz. Such a kind of thing is too lowly for me.”
