Chapter 291
The conversation between the two then went much smoother. Anna did not mention Nelissa again. Edward also asked her some experiences over the years. They were like old friends who reunited, got familiar with each other, and talked about the old days.
However, Anna still kept it a secret. She didn’t know how Anna left that year, who took her away from him, her identity as his biological father, and so on. Edward’an didn’t continue to ask. He could see that Anna didn’t want to tell her. Since Anna didn’t hesitate to go out and hide the secret, he couldn’t tell her.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Until now, Edward would not interfere and change the situation. Although he was proud, he was not. The result had been settled on the day Anna disappeared many years ago. Even if he had the ability to hide his identity and let her go back to the Bailey family safely, Ryan was not stupid.
Anna had disappeared for many years. He had not run away from home on the spur of the moment. If he had not been kidnapped, he would have been able to come back safely. Everyone would have suspected that there was something fishy about it. It was impossible for Ryan to have been fooled so easily.
What’s more, Sean’s feelings for Anna were stubborn. If he kept it a secret, something big would happen sooner or later.
After the meal, Anna was full. She ate a lot, but it had nothing to do with her appetite. She just wanted to stay with Edward for a little longer and say a few more words to comfort her from missing him all these years. Speaking of which, there was only one missing person tonight, and Sean was not there. She and Edward were not the three-person group.
Anna remembered that she was still studying in the past. Sean and Edward had entered the group for internship and took over the family business. They had a lot of things to learn. They were so busy that they hadn’t seen each other for a long time.
Once, she finally invited the two of them out for dinner. As a result, one was late, and the other was delayed by the daughter of a business partner. When she arrived, it was already a long time later.
Anna was so angry that he didn’t keep their phones. He turned them off and drank a few bottles of wine. It was a relaxed and happy night without work. The three of them drank a lot and were slightly drunk. They indulged for a night. The next morning, Anna turned on their phones and found countless calls from his secretaries. Knowing that things were not going well, he quickly woke them up and gave them their phones. Then he fled home.
At that time, they had a secret base, a high-story private apartment with three bedrooms and one living room. Not many people knew about it.
That morning, Sean saw countless phone calls, and he even sent a text message and an email. He was just about to find him. He rubbed his forehead with a bad look, and simply called the family doctor of the Bailey family, saying that he was sick and needed the doctor to give him a certificate. After that, he boldly asked for sick leave.
Edward was even more annoyed. He was the young master who got up in a bad mood. Besides, he had drunk a lot of wine last night. He was having a headache, so he threw his mobile phone to the corner of the wall, turned over on the bed in the room, and continued to sleep. No matter what, he had to wait for him to wake up before he could solve it.
It was a beautiful memory, as if it was yesterday. At that time, they were all very young, not mature enough, and very willful. Now Anna was still young, but he had experienced a lot of vicissitudes in his heart, so it was inevitable that he would have a bad feeling.
After the meal, the rain outside stopped, and Edward finally decided to leave.
Anna had tried many times to find an excuse to keep him here. It could be seen that he was holding a few food boxes with one hand and lifting the other with the other. He lowered his head slightly and looked at his watch. There was a hint of longing between his black brows.
In the end, Anna didn’t ask Edward’er to stay. She suddenly realized that she couldn’t keep Edward’er. His heart was not here. How many times could she keep him? Obviously, she couldn’t do it.
This man was Edward. He was noble, independent, and arrogant. What he hated most was the man who was controlled by others and always wanted to take the initiative. He was really not an ideal good man and would not be easily conquered by others. But such a wild man conquered him. For women, he had a great sense of accomplishment.
When Edward left, Andrew arrived on time and ordered Andrew to send Anna back. Edward got in the car and left. As for which person he would accompany tonight, Anna was clear in his heart and felt uncomfortable. He kept looking down at the ground, looking absent-minded.
“Miss Anna…” Andrew hesitated for a long time before calling her name. Just now, Young Mr. Hales had briefly told him on the phone, but until now, when he really saw Anna himself, he still couldn’t believe it.
The man who had been missing for many years had suddenly returned. It seemed that he was safe and sound. However, no one knew what had happened to Anna over the years. This was not something that Andrew could ask.
Young Mr. Hales had told him that what he needed to do at the moment was to block the news of Anna’s return and observe it.
Andrew collected the confusion on his face. He was a very professional talent. He said meticulously, “Miss Anna, you’d better get in the car first. People are coming and going here, so it’s not appropriate for you to stay any longer.”
Anna looked up at Andrew and nodded without saying anything. Then he got in the car. In the car, she told him the name of the hotel and asked Andrew to take her to the hotel.
Andrew did as he was told.
Anna deliberately chatted with Andrew. “I didn’t expect you to still be with Edward,” he said.
Andrew replied with a yes, and then sincerely said, “Young Mr. Hales is a boss worth following. I learned a lot from him.”
Anna nodded and asked Andrew thoughtfully, “How is his relationship with the Bailey family now? After I left that year, I should have caused him a lot of trouble.”
Andrew replied, “It’s not bad. It wasn’t broken too severely.” He added, “Later, when Young Mr. Hales and Miss Sophie were dating, it indirectly repaired the relationship between the two families. However, it hasn’t been good recently. Young Mr. Hales broke up with Miss Sophie and caused the dissatisfaction of Master Bo.”
Hearing that, Anna muttered to himself, “Sophie.”
In fact, Sophie had long known that Sophie was interested in Edward. Although this half-sister of hers had always been very kind to her, if she was really good to her, she would not have been in touch with her fiance after she disappeared. She knew very well that Sophie’s mother, Chen Li, had always wanted to isolate her. However, because Sophie loved her and had Edward as his backer, Chen Li did not dare to do anything to her.
Until…
Anna turned to look out of the car window, and the look in his eyes changed. No matter whether Chen Li had revealed her identity or not, Chen Li did not dare to say it all these years, so she must have something on her mind.
After all, at that time, Chen Li wanted to take advantage of her disappearance to kill people!
If Chen Li revealed the truth, it would be the same as throwing a stone at her own feet. She couldn’t clean up the mess herself.
When Anna came back this time, his mentality had changed.
