Chapter 50 Cosette Restaurant
when the food was served on the table, Anaya‘s hand was accidentally stained with soup. She was just about to look for tissues when an open packet of tissues was pushed into her hand,
She looked at Hearst who pushed the paper over. He was eating nonchalantly, with his every move full of elegance.
11 she was an innocent little girl, she would probably want to go home with him immediately and do everything for
him.
Perhaps it was because she had been staring at him for so long. Hearst looked up and smiled faintly, “Is there something on my face?”
“No.” Anaya did not show any embarrassment when she had been caught watching him. She withdrew her gaze lightly.
She just simply appreciated him, so she was not ashamed of it.
It was not easy to have a meal in Cosette Restaurant, so Anaya took out her phone to take a photo and posted it on Twitter.
The words she posted were: “The only thing you can‘t put down in this life is forks and knives.”
When she was in university, she often traveled with Aracely, so she created an account to record her life. It attracted a lot of followers.
She got a lot of attention for her wedding a year ago, with over a million followers on Twitter at that time.
After marrying Joshua, she was busy with all kinds of family affairs every day and had not updated her Twitter for more than half a year. Therefore, she lost most of her followers, and only a few fans insisted on sending her messages and caring about her recent situation.
After her tweet was just posted, a few comments quickly appeared in the comments section.
“It‘s been 208 days. You finally updated again. My youth is flashing back!”
“As expected, you‘ll become active after the divorce.”
“I checked and found these are dishes from Cosette Restaurant. The price of this restaurant is very high... You are still so rich. Please treat me to dinner!”
“Didn‘t anyone notice the opposite person who was photographed with a hand? Judging from the shape and length, it‘s most likely a man‘s hand...”
“Thank you for the reminder! What a nice hand! I want to lick the screen...”
“Is this the story of a wealthy woman and her sweet lover? How exciting!”
“Tell me that‘s not her ex–husband‘s hand.”
“Impossible. The Maltz Group has an event today. Joshua is still being interviewed on the spot.”
“Joshua, your ex–wife is having a big meal with a strange man. Are you angry?”
“Wow, some comments are so provoking...”
Anaya got offline after posting, not paying attention to the comments in the comments section.
On the other side, Alex broke out in cold sweat when he saw Anaya‘s tweet.
Joshua‘s Twitter was for work, and it was mostly managed by Alex.
Joshua had someone else assist him in the interview today, so Alex was waiting outside and handling some work by the way, and he happened to see Anaya‘s tweet.
Before he could decide whether to tell Joshua about it, Joshua‘s interview ended.
Joshua came out with people surrounded, and Alex followed.
Back in the car, Joshua saw that there was a message from Karen on his phone.
It was Anaya and Hearst‘s photo.
Joshua just glanced at it before throwing his phone aside.
Seeing that Joshua was free, Alex finally summoned up his courage and said, “Mr. Maltz, I have a message about Ms. Dutt...”
Joshua looked out of the window expressionlessly.
He wondered why people kept telling him about Anaya.‘
Did it look like he still cared about her?
“You don‘t have to tell me about her,” he said.
“Yes,” Alex answered.
After a long time, the car was almost back to the Maltz‘s house.
The silence in the car was finally broken. “What message did you just want to tell me?” Joshua asked.
Alex didn‘t know what to say.
He knew Joshua was just pretending not to care.
“Ms. Dutt appeared to be having dinner with a man,” Alex told Joshua.
“Who is it?” Joshua asked. His face clouded over.
Although he asked, he already knew the answer.
Karen sent the photo one and a half hours ago, and Anaya was having dinner with someone. Who else could it be other than Hearst?
“The man only had his one hand photographed. I don‘t know his identity.” Alex hesitated for a moment before continuing, “If you need to know, I will find it out.”
Joshua snorted coldly, “No need! Why should I care who she eats with?”
Alex was speechless again.
If you don‘t care, why are you asking? Alex thought.
Then he decided to keep silent.
He just works for Joshua. He should leave it at that.
Anaya and Hearst came out of Cosette Restaurant and were about to stop a taxi by the roadside.
Suddenly, there was a thunderclap in the sky, startling all the pedestrians.
Anaya was also shocked. She wanted to ask Hearst to take shelter from the rain, but the heavy rain poured down quickly.
They quickly ran back to the entrance of Cosette Restaurant, but the rain came fast and hard. They got wet very soon.
Anaya smoothed her messy hair and complained, “Why is it raining so fast...”
“Is your wound okay...”
Hearst‘s gaze fell on Anaya, and he suddenly stopped talking.
Anaya was only wearing a white chiffon shirt today, which was tightly attached to her body after being drenched, revealing an attractive curve.
His face suddenly turned red, and he quickly looked away.
Anaya was still fixing her hair and did not notice Hearst‘s abnormal behavior at all.
Suddenly, a wet suit jacket fell on Anaya‘s shoulder.
The suit jacket fell with a breeze, causing Anaya to shiver with cold. “Why do you give me your wet coat?” She asked.
Hearst looked straight ahead and said gently, “Your clothes are wet and transparent.”
Anaya finally realized that it was a wardrobe malfunction. Her face turned red as she held the coat. “Thank you.”
The atmosphere was somewhat awkward for a while.
Anaya quickly adjusted her emotions and took out her phone to call a taxi.
After all, she was not a teenage girl. She can handle her emotions quickly and properly.
It was hard to get a taxi on a rainy day, and she had to wait for a while before she got a taxi that was more than ten
minutes away.
As she was about to tell Hearst the taxi was coming, Hearst brought her a cup of hot coffee. “It can warm up your body.”
The coffee shop was over 30 inches to the right of the supermarket.
His shirt, which had been dry, was now wet.
Anaya put away her phone, took the coffee, and held it tightly.
It was very warın
“Thank you,” she said softly.
After drinking the coffee, the taxi arrived.
When Anaya and Hearst got in the car, a black Maybach stopped behind the taxi.
The taxi started and the Maybach followed.
Joshua drove the car with no expression on his face. He stared closely at the taxi in front.
He finally lost his mind and came over.
He wanted to see if Anaya was going to take the man home.
Although...
it was not the first time that Hearst was alone with Anaya.
Joshua received a call from Lexie at the intersection before arriving at Anaya‘s apartment.
“Joshua, where are you now?”
Joshua paused, parked the car by the roadside, and lied subconsciously, “I‘m at home.”
“Why do I feel like I heard a car honk?”
“My mom is watching TV. What‘s the matter?” Joshua changed the topic.
**There‘s a high school reunion this weekend. Do you want to attend?” Lexie asked.
“Okay,” Joshua answered.
“Alright, then we‘ll go together. I‘ll tell the monitor so he can count up the numbers.”
“Okay.”
“Then I won‘t bother you. Bye.” Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Goodbye.”
After hanging up, Joshua stopped following the taxi.
He lowered the window and lit a cigarette.
When he had just divorced, he stubbornly thought that Anaya was just throwing a tantrum at him and that she would come back sooner or later to beg him for remarrying, and then he would turn her down hard.
But after the divorce, Anaya had never taken the initiative to contact him except for talking about work. She was surrounded by different men and lived happily.
He, on the other hand, was watching her every move...
At the thought of this, he tightened his grip on the steering wheel and then quickly loosened it.
He put out his cigarette, turned around, and went back to the house.
