Chapter 385 Leave Jared to Date Me

Nadia recalled, "When I was still in school, I once adored Jaylon. But every time I tried to talk to him, he always ignored me. So later, I gave up on him."

She continued, "Jaylon doesn't show interest in any particular woman. He doesn't even have any hobbies. All that's in his mind seems to be work. That's why I felt amazed when Reina entered his life and immediately sent someone to investigate her identity."

Nadia kept explaining, "At that time, Reina was a part-time intern at the Mimo Group. Most of the time, she just ran some errands.

"Once, Jaylon asked me to accompany him to an event. But I was too busy to accompany him. So he took Reina with him.

"Reina is smart and careful with words, so she made a good companion. Gradually, Jaylon gets used to attending such events with her. As time goes by, their relationship advances.

"And then, Reina's father had cancer and needed a large amount of money for treatment. Since she was favored by Jaylon, they made a deal. He paid for her father's medical bills in exchange for a 'private partner'.

"Later, when Reina's father passed away, she ended this relationship with Jaylon. And I haven't seen her since then."

Nadia said, "I only heard Jaylon say once that after Reina returned to the country, she got with someone else. She and Jaylon ended thoroughly."

Anaya had a feeling that Jaylon and Reina knew each other, but she didn't expect that their past relationship would be so complicated.

She asked, "Other than this, do you know anything else about them?"

"That's all I know," Nadia answered frankly. Yet she suddenly thought of something and said, "I remember that when Reina was with Jaylon, she seemed to be insulted badly by his subordinates."

Nadia told Anaya, "One time, one of Jaylon's men broke into her dormitory and tried to rape her. I saved her that time.

"Judging from her reaction that day, she seemed to be often humiliated by Jaylon's subordinates when she was with him. She had a pretty tough life."

Hearing this, Anaya looked at Nadia in shock.

Nadia knew what she was thinking and said, "Don't look at me like that. Although I'm not well-educated, I have my moral principles."

Anaya was silent for a few seconds and then asked, "Did my brother know what she had been through?"

"He knew," said Nadia. "Back then, Reina told him several times that she was insulted by his subordinates, but Jaylon did not take it seriously and told her not to make a scene about it. After the accident I just told you, she never talked about such things to him again."

Nadia added, "And not long after, she ended her relationship with Jaylon peacefully and went back to America."

After learning this, Anaya frowned.

According to Nadia's words, Jaylon sounded like an absolute jerk.

Anaya thought maybe she should have helped Reina when Jaylon pestered her.

Seeing that Anaya did not respond, Nadia asked, "Do you have any other questions? If not, I'm leaving."

Anaya replied, "No more. Sorry to trouble you."

Nadia got up and left.

Before long, Carlee came over. "Ana, what were you talking about with Nadia just now?"

Anaya concealed her feelings and said, "Nothing."

Carlee did not ask further. She said, "I'm going back now. Do you want to come with me?"

Anaya refused, "I'm not done here yet, so I won't be going back tonight."

Carlee said with displeasure, "Are you going to see Jared again?"

She said, "It's so obvious that he wants some treats from you. He'll take advantage of you if you go to see him.

"A woman to another, I suggest you be more careful. There are too many irresponsible men. What if he took advantage of you and refused to

shoulder the responsibility?"

Anaya did not know how to respond.

Where are her worries from? she wondered.

"Mom, Jared is not that kind of person. He is very good to me," Anaya

defended him.

Carlee disagreed, "I don't think someone so good to you would marry

another woman. Who does he think he is? An emperor?"

She then said, "In my opinion, you should date an upright and responsible

person like Landy. He can make a great husband."

Anaya stopped her nonsense, "Mom, I have told you that neither Landin nor

I see each other that way. Stop trying to match us up."

She added, "And I have also explained to you about Jared. He is now

injured. I have to take care of him."

Carlee thought, he has so many subordinates and servants, why must you

take care of them?

But she didn't say that out at last.

Now that Anaya was in love with him, she couldn't listen to words from

anyone. If Carlee said so, she would only irritate Anaya.

Carlee sighed and mourned for her family status.

Carlee let out a long sigh and said, "Forget it. It's fine as long as you like

him. I can't do anything to change your mind, can I?"

She suggested, "How about I send someone over with you? No one can

help you when you are bullied there if you're alone."

Anaya comforted her, "No one bullied me. Mom, don't worry about it."

Carlee gave in, "Alright, I'll call the driver to send you there."

Anaya didn't turn this offer down and said, "Okay."

Coming out of the Hornsby's house, Carlee accompanied Anaya to wait for

the car by the roadside.

When Landin saw them, he walked over and asked, "Mrs. Hornsby, Ana, are

you still not leaving?"

Carlee explained, "Ana doesn't go with me. I'll go as soon as I see her off."

The city was not very safe at night. She wouldn't leave carefreely without seeing Anaya get in the car safely.

Landin looked at Anaya and asked, "Where are you going? I can drive you."

Anaya said with a suspicious look, "Are you sure you won't get lost?"

Landin was left speechless.

After a while, he said, "Maybe I don't know the way, but my driver surely

does."

Anaya smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll accept your offer with gratitude."

"It's not a big deal." Landin couldn't hide the pleasure in his eyes.

Carlee sensed his feelings but did not say anything. She said, "Okay, then I'll

go. Be careful on your way."

"Okay," Anaya promised her.

After getting into the car, Landin and Anaya sat in the back.

The driver asked, "Ms. Dutt, where are you going?"

After Anaya told the driver her destination, Landin was a little surprised and Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

asked, "You live in the research institute?"

Anaya answered while fastening her seatbelt, "No, it's Jared. He hasn't been

in good health recently, so he's been taking treatment there."

Landin felt a little jealous. "You were with him yesterday?" he asked.

"Yes," Anaya admitted frankly.

Landin tilted his head to look at her.

The silver light cast through the window and fell on Anaya's face, outlining

her perfect portrait.

She is as beautiful as the day I first met her, thought Landin.

However, no matter how pretty she was, she wouldn't be his.

Landin clutched at his pants in jealousy, and soon let go. He asked in a

tender voice, "He abandoned you before. Why are you still so faithful to

him?"

Anaya explained, "He was forced to abandon me. The reasons are complicated."

Landin didn't buy it. "How do you know that his excuses are real?"

"I just know."

Seeing that she trusted Jared so much, Landin had rather mixed feelings.

He said in a low voice, "Ms. Dutt."

"What?" Anaya turned to look at him.

"If I say that I fall for you, will you consider leaving Jared to date me?"
