Chapter 45 She Is Wary of Him
Hlearst did not ask any further questions. He took out a small glass bottle from his suit pocket. “It‘s the gift i brought from Australia.”
The glass bottle filled with colorful candies was held in Hearst‘s palm. It looked petite and delicate.
If Hearst gave Anaya something else, she might not accept it.
She would only accept the candy.
First, it was cheap. Taking this gift would not bring her a psychological burden. Second, Anaya did like sweets, and it was difficult for her to resist the temptation of sweets.
She took the glass bottle and asked, “Can I have a taste?”
Hearst‘s thin lips curved into a faint smile. “Il.the candy doesn‘t taste good, you won‘t accept it?”
Anaya did not expect that Hearst would tease her. “I just want to taste it.”
As she spoke, she poured out candy and put it into her mouth.
It was sweet and had a faint, indescribable fragrance.
Anaya guessed that it should be made of unique raw materials in Australia.
In short, it was delicious.
“Thank you for your gift.”
She was very satisfied.
” I still have some candies here. You can ask me for them after you finish this bottle.”
“Alright...”
Anaya agreed, then paused.
He thought, why don‘t he give more in one go?
Is he putting bait?
Anaya was suspicious, but Hearst seemed honest without any other thoughts.
She thought her concern was misplaced.
“Do you want to come in and take a seat?” Anaya asked as she turned to the door.
Anaya still needed to be polite when Hearst came to see her from so far away in the middle of the night.
“No, have a good rest.”
“Okay, good night.”
Hearst went downstairs, and Jayden opened the car door respectfully. “Mr. Helms, do you want to investigate what happened at the auction?”
“No need.”
Anaya lied to him because she didn‘t want him to interfere.
In the end, she was wary of him in her heart.
Hearst would not do what she did not want him to do.
He believed she would handle it liersell.
11 Anaya couldn‘t solve it, he would help her.
Aracely was awakened by the aroma of the food,
“Donuts!”
She let out a cry and got up. As she had slept for the entire night, her long hair was slightly curled up and she looked dull.
The person at the table said lightly, “Go wash up and come over to have breakfast.”
“Winston, why did you bring breakfast to the bedroom?” Aracely looked over and was still a little confused.
“I thought that you might not have sobered up from the alcohol yet, and your parents would be worried when they see
you.”
Aracely knelt on the bed like a child who had made a mistake. She looked away guiltily. “You ... you know I went to drink last night...”
The Tarleton family was strict, and it was taboo for girls to drink
Perhaps, for this reason, she had always longed for the outside world, and she was somewhat rebellious.
After Anaya left last night, Aracely was bored and went to watch an underground concert with her friends.
The rock music was deafening. She was surrounded by dancing men and women. The excitement spread in the small space. She felt novel and excited and then got high.
After the concert ended, her friends and she had a few more drinks with the people from the band. And she couldn‘t remember what happened next.
She looked down and found that she was wearing a nightdress.
“Winston, did Mary help me change my clothes?”
Mary Crilly was their maid.
Winston, who was about to scold her, paused.
“Why don‘t I have any impression of it...”
Winston urged in a deep voice, “Hurry up and wash up.”
“Okay.”
Aracely washed up and sat down on the edge of the bed, taking small bites of food.
Winston looked at her intently with a faint smile. His eyes were gentle and soft.
He casually asked, “Where did you go last night?”
