Chapter 185 Cecilia’s Humble Attitude

After the meal, Hearst sent Anaya home.

Pushing open the car door, the cold air outside rushed in instantly. Anaya shirank her neck.

Hearst noticed it and said, “Wait a moment.”

As he spoke, he removed the scarf from his neck and helped Anaya wear it.

The dark brown scarl still contained Hearst’s body temperature and a faint medicinal fragrance.

His fingertips swept past her lower jaw carelessly. Anaya was so itchy that she retreated a little, butHearst pulled her shoulder and took her towards him.

“Don’t move,” he said with a frown.

His tone sounded intimate.

It was as if the two of them were a couple who had been married for many years, and everything he didwas so natural.

Anaya thought that Hearst was becoming more and more casual with her.

In the past, he liked to pretend to be a cold gentleman with her. Recently, he would occasionally showsome manly dominance and little intimacy.

Anaya did not resist and obediently waited for him to help her with the scarf.

After putting on the scarf, Hearst withdrew his hand and relaxed his brows. “It’s done. See youtomorrow.”

Hearst’s scarl was wide and large. Half of Anaya’s face was buried in it. Usually, Anaya looked tough atwork, but at the moment, she was so cute.

Anaya smiled as she softly said, “Goodbye.”

With that, she pushed open the door and got off.

Hearst watched her enter the apartment with affection. He had made up his mind to get her.

It was not until Anaya walked out of sight that he withdrew his gaze.

Sammo jumped from the back seat to the front passenger seat and sat cross-legged at the place whereAnaya had just sat. Then it wacced its tail happily.

Hearst rubbed its head. “She just left. Do you miss her?”

The dog barked in a reply to him.

Hearst withdrew his hand and stepped on the accelerator. His smile revealed his current good mood.

“I’ll bring her back to stay with you soon.”

in the past, he had already let go of her once. This time, he would let her live a happy life with him.

No one else could take her away,

When Anaya walked into the hall on the first floor of the apartment, she was stopped by someone.

“Anaya.”

Anaya turned her ficad.

It was Cecilia who was sitting on the chair by the wall.

Cecilia had always put on an arropant expression, but at the moment, she looked somehow hatcard.

crilia stood up and walked towards Anaya. “Was lilleirst, the man rumored to be in love with you online,who sent you home?”

Anaya did not answer her question. “Mrs. Maltz, what brings you here so late at night?”

Seeing that Anaya did not answer, Cecilia didn’t ask more about it.

After all, she didn’t come today to talk about this matter.

“Joshua and Lexie are getting married the day after tomorrow. Are you going to let them be together?”

Anaya looked indifferent when it came to his matter. She asked, “Of course. I should have told youbefore that I am not interested in their affairs.”

Seeing her firm attitude, Cecilia knew that Anaya wouldn’t change her mind.

It seemed that Anaya had given up on Joshua.

Even though Cecilia had been treated coldly by Anaya several times, she still had a glimmer of hope inher heart and felt that Anaya was just sulking.

It was only when she saw Hearst wearing the scarf for Anaya that she realized that Anaya didn’t loveJoshua anymore.

Judging from Anaya’s expression, Cecilia knew that she had fallen in love with Hearst.

After loving Joshua for the past ten years, Anaya finally felt disappointed and began a new life.

Cecilia hesitated for a long time before speaking again, “Anaya, did you go to the hospital with Hearstfor an abortion?”

After investigating for so long, Cecilia could not replace any concrete evidence to prove that Anaya did nothave a miscarriage operation when she went to the hospital that day, so she had to personally come toask

“No,” Anaya said cautiously, “Why are you asking this?”

Hearing Anaya’s answer, Cecilia felt relieved. She had been thinking about it for the past few days.

Cecilie explained, “I was against Lexie marrying Joshua, but she said that she has evidence of yougetting an abortion with Hearst.

“If it were true, then it would be an extramarital affair. I was worried that this matter would affect thereputation of the Maltz family, so I agreed to let her marry Joshua.

“But in thy heart, I don’like her. If a woman like her who is scheining marries Joshua, it would betroublesome for the Maltz family

“I’ve been collecting-vidence recently and want to turn the table, but there has been no progress, so Icame to ask you today. I hope you can tell me the truth.”

in the past year,

ilahad never spoken to Anaya so humbly like this.

Anaya looked at her with luer ves full of ridicule Mrs. Maltz. Vou have been carefully living in theevaluation of

others. Aren’t you tired?

The reputation of the Maltz family has long been ruined by Joshua. Do you think others don’t know howdirty the Maltz family is?”

Anaya’s words were not pleasant to hear, but there was no trace of anger on Cecilia’s face.

Cecilia smiled bitterly, “So what if I’m tired? No matter what, the reputation of the Maltz family cannotbe ruined. Five vears ago, after Joshua’s father was obsessed with a woman, otlier families have beenmocking Joshua and me

“I’ve been acting like a noble lady all these years, but I’m very sensitive in my heart. Normally, even ifothers just glance at me casually, I would feel that they’re laughing al me for I was abandoned by myhusband and Joshua was a bastard without a father.

“I am so afraid of that kind of life. I know that the Maltz family has almost been mocked by everyone,but I can’t let it

be even worse.

“Anaya, could you please help me and tell me what happened that day?”

Anaya did not understand why Cecilia had done this for the judgment of others.

Anaya had always been a person who didn’t care about other people’s eyes and who only wanted tolive happily.

According to Cecilia’s haggard face, she must have been annoyed by Lexie during this period. And shelooked so pitiful.

But Anaya had never forgotten how Cecilia liad treated her during the years when she married Joshuain her last life.

Anaya wouldn’t show any mercy to those who treated her badly.

“No. Mrs. Maliz, please go back.”

Anaya was determined and turned to leave.

“I can pay you to tell me the truth. I can exchange information in my hands with you! Didn’t you alwayswonder why Joshua suddenly got together with Lexie five years ago? I can tell you the truth!” Mrs.Maltz hurriedly pulled Anaya back

Hearing this, Anaya stopped.

Cecilia thought that she was hesitating and could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

But Anaya continued, “I have nothing to do with Joshua now. Do you think I will care about the thingsfive years ago?”
