Chapter 417 Who Is That Guy?
When Anaya went to work the next day, Hearst helped her change her shoes into flat ones. He also personally drove her to the company downstairs and told her not to order takeout at noon because he would send food over.
It was the first time that Anaya knew that Hearst could be so chatty.
At lunchtime, Hearst arranged for someone to send food over.
The food was from a nearby five-star restaurant, but the food was not available on the menu. Anaya guessed that Hearst had specially asked the chef to cook according to Hearst's request.
Just as Anaya was eating, she received a call from abroad.
It was from Carlee.
She picked up the phone and asked, "Mom, what's up?"
Carlee said, "Your father has recovered a lot. We will come to Boston tomorrow. You ask Mr. Dutt if he is available because we want to go to Jaylon's house to have a meal together."
Before Leonard was injured, Anaya's parents were ready to return to the country to see Adams.
Now that Leonard could walk, Carlee immediately arranged the trip to Boston.
"It is OK. Adams is not busy usually."
"Alright, then I'll call you tomorrow night. When the time comes, bring Adams over directly."
"Alright."
They chatted for a while more. Carlee looked at Leonard, who was sitting at the side watching TV and secretly glancing over.
"Leo, do you want to talk to your daughter?"
Leonard retracted his gaze and said in a rough voice, "What is there to talk about? I don't miss her."
"What an old clock." Carlee laughed, "Ana, that's it. I'll hang up. You can go do your own things."
"Okay."
After ending the call, Anaya called Adams to talk about this matter. At the appointed time, she and Hearst went back to the Dutt's house to pick up Adams.
Jaylon's residence in Boston was a grand villa. It was tranquil and low-key with a tasteful decoration.
The three members of the Malpas family waited in the hall on the first floor of the villa. When Anaya and the others arrived, Carlee and Adams exchanged some polite words and brought people into the dining room.
When they sat down, Hearst first pulled out a chair for Anaya before sitting down beside her.
When the elders saw this, they looked at each other and smiled, feeling somewhat gratified.
Because of the matter between Hearst and Giana, Jaylon had some
prejudice against him.
Seeing Hearst being so natural and considerate toward Anaya, Jaylon had
some good impressions on her future brother-in-law.
When the dishes were served, Carlee chatted a lot with Adams, but
Leonard just sat there without saying a word.
Leonard was an uncommunicative man.
Carlee kicked Leonard under the table, indicating for him to say a few words.
Leonard organized his lines and said, "Mr. Dutt, thank you for taking care of Ana for so many years. If not for you, we will never know if we could reunite with Ana. Let me propose a toast to you."
Leonard tried to lower his voice as much as possible, a little less ferocious than usual.
"What are you thanking me for? It is only right that I treat Ana as my own granddaughter."
Adams couldn't drink, so he used water as a substitute for wine and clinked
glasses with Leonard.
When the topic returned to Anaya, she had just been taken away a spicy
chicken by Hearst on the grounds of "pregnant women cannot eat spicy and
stimulating food".
"Ana..." Adams called out to Anaya, "Did you hear what we just said?"
"What?" Anaya recovered from the pain of not being able to eat spicy food
for the next few days.
Leonard said seriously, "Your mother asked you when you are going to give
her a grandchild?"
Carlee rolled her eyes at Leonard.
Carlee didn't even say that just now.
Leonard wanted a grandson and even used her name to cover it.
Shame on Leonard.
When Anaya heard this question, her hand trembled and her fork almost fell
to the ground.
