Chapter 249
Anaya waited at the airport for half an hour and did not see the person she was going to pick up. She called her boyfriend Jared and said, “Didn’t you say that the plane would arrive at half past five? It’s almost six o’clock.”
Jared said, “Oh, the flight is delayed. Didn’t I tell you? I probably forgot. It will take another two hours to reach. Anaya, why don’t you come back first?”
“It’s okay.” Anaya said, “The airport is far away. It’s troublesome to come and go. I’ll wait here.”
Jared said, “It’s all my fault… If I had told you in advance, you wouldn’t have waited in vain. I’m sorry, Anaya.”
“You don’t have to apologize.” Anaya sat down on the chair and said, “You can eat first. Don’t starve.”
Jared said, “I still want to eat your cooking.”
Anaya forced a smile and said, “I really can’t do it now… Have some first. I’ll cook for you when I get home.”
After Anaya hung up the phone, she just stared blankly at something in the void. Her eyes had no focus, so it was hard for the passers-by to avoid looking at her.
It was not until Anaya heard the airport announcement that she came back to her senses. She slowly sat up from the chair and found the exit. Not long after, she saw Mrs. Turner and Sarita. Back then, when Anaya first met the mother-and-daughter pair, they were still dressed in vulgar clothes. But now, they were all glamorous and well-dressed. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Hi Mrs. Turner, Sarita.” Anaya said, “It must be tiring. Give me the suitcase.”
Sarita pushed the two suitcases to Anaya without any psychological pressure. She took off her sunglasses and asked, “Where is the car parked?”
Anaya said, “We’ll go out and get a taxi.”
Sarita looked at Anaya incredulously. “You didn’t drive here?”
“The car was sold.” Anaya pursed her lips and said, “I really didn’t have enough money to meet my
need, so I sold the car.”
Sarita raised her eyebrows. Mrs. Turner said, “How can I rest assured to leave Jared is with you? What have you done that you needed to sell a car?”
Anaya held the handle of the suitcase tightly, “Didn’t Jared want to invest in shares before, so I… gave all the money to him, and then…”
“You want to say that it’s all my son’s fault?” Mrs. Turner’s voice suddenly became sharp. “It’s obvious that you don’t have the ability!”
Anaya lowered her head. “I’ve been working hard to accept jobs. I will…”
“That’s enough,” Sarita said. “I’m too lazy to listen to your nonsense. Hurry up and leave. The food on the plane was horrible. I’m hungry.”
She held Mrs. Turner’s hand and walked in front, while Anaya followed her with the suitcases, like
their servant.
Mrs. Turner couldn’t help muttering, “It’s true… If it weren’t for Jared, I wouldn’t have agreed to let
them be together.”
“Jared is so outstanding. Who can’t he get?” Sarita said, “I don’t know why his taste is so bad. He rather like someone who has been abandoned.”
“Speaking of which…” Mrs. Turner said, “I remember reading the news two days ago, saying that Scott Hewson is getting married!”
“Really?” Sarita asked in surprise. “With who?”
“Who else could it be?” Mrs. Turner glanced at Anaya and said, “It is his well-matched fiancee of course. In my opinion, it’s good to have the marriage settled, so as not to let others keep thinking about social climbing. A certain someone thinks that when Scott dates her for a few days when she is in school, she can really become the Young Madam of the Hewson Family. It’s so funny!” Anaya almost clenched her palm until it bled. She took a deep breath and said, “The taxi driver I called has arrived. Let’s go.”
