Chapter 365 Just Appreciation for Beautiful Women
Landin didn't hesitate to say, "Last night, Layla heard from her friend at the news agency that Jared was going to marry Giana. Her friend said that Prudential Group had spent a lot of money on the headlines.
"Layla sneaked into the hotel where Jared was staying this morning. She overheard that the two of them were only pretending to be married. They would hold a wedding, but would not register their marriage. They did this to..."
Landin looked at Anaya and hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "It seems that Jared did it to make Ms. Dutt give up on him."
Anaya lowered her eyes and muttered to herself, "Why on earth did he do this?"
Why couldn't he tell her directly?
Why did he have to go through so much trouble to torment her?
Seeing that she was in low spirits, Leonard said, "Ana, if you don't want Jared to marry someone else, I will take you to their wedding and make a scene."
His words were like those of a bandit leader. Normally, Carlee would definitely let him watch his mouth in front of his daughter, but this matter was for Anaya, so there was no need for her to stop him.
Not only did she not stop him, but Carlee had also begun to calculate the expenses of hiring people in her heart.
Landin said, "There's no need to wait for the wedding. Jared will introduce Giana to the big shots of various fields at tomorrow night's party. If you want to see him, you can go tomorrow night.
"The Giles family is also invited. If you need it, I can give you the invitation.
Today, when Layla sneaked in and eavesdropped, she was discovered.
Jared had arranged for more people to safeguard him. It would be difficult for them to get closer to him.
The banquet tomorrow night was the best chance forthem to meet him.
Anaya felt a little strange about his good intentions, but she still sincerely thanked him. "Thank you, Mr. Giles. This time, I owe you one. If you need any help, just let me know. I will definitely help as long as I can."
The light in Landin’s eyes flashed and he whispered, "Ms. Dutt might not give me what I want."
Anaya did not hear him clearly. "What?"
"Nothing," Landin changed the topic. The wind is strong here. Let's go in."
Carlee looked at him with a strange gaze. Her lips moved, and she wanted to speak, but in the end, she did not say anything.
After dinner, Landin did not stay any longer and was ready to leave.
Carlee walked him to the door. Before leaving, she sighed faintly. "Landin, even if you don't help us, no one will blame you.
"Why did you tell Ana about Jared's matter? If you don't say it, wouldn't there be a chance?"
In any case, she was much older than Landin and watched him grow up.
She could tell what Landin was thinking about her daughter with just a few looks.
Landin was calm, his eyes cold but also honest. "I do like her, but I don’t want to play dirty tricks." Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
"She already has someone she loves. If I force myself in, it will only cause trouble for her.
"Rather than the three of us suffering together, isn't it better for me to keep this secret?"
From the moment he knew that Anaya and Jared were dating, he had decided to hide all the feelings in his heart and wait for the day when they would fade away.
Most importantly, his feelings for Anaya were actually not too deep. It was just appreciation and love for the beautiful opposite sex.
If he had her, he would be happy. It would be a pity not to have her, but it would not be painful.
That was all.
This kind of momentary emotion caused by hormones would dissipate after a long time.
As for this, Carlee did not say anything about this. "Be careful on the road."
Landin nodded and sat in the car that had been waiting at the door for a long time.
Anaya was still dealing with jet lag, and she couldn't fall asleep. She didn't fall asleep until early morning.
The next afternoon, she dressed up and went downstairs.
In the living room on the first floor, Landin was sitting on the sofa in a tailored suit, quietly listening to Carlee.
Landin was the first to notice her walk down the spiral stairs.
His azure and clear eyes fell on her, and he stopped moving, forgetting to breathe.
The weather was warm again, and Anaya wore a white knee-length dress with a thin, hump-colored shawl on her shoulders.
Her hair was tied up, revealing a slender and beautiful neck. Her skin was smooth and fair like white porcelain, and a few strands of loose hair on the side of her ears fell down without any order, adding a bit of fragile beauty.
In addition, her eyebrows were always covered with faint melancholy, and she had the temperament of classical beauty, slim and graceful.
Carlee was still talking when she saw that there was no reaction from Landin who was looking at the stairs. She looked back and, as expected, saw Anaya coming down the stairs.
Carlee laughed in her heart and looked at Landin jokingly before saying to Anaya, "Ana, your dress is quite beautiful."
Landin came back to his senses and looked away, pretending to be calm.
Anaya walked over to them and greeted Landin briefly before saying to Carlee, "Mom, where's Dad? It's time to go."
Carlee still had a smile on her face. "Your dad and I are not going. Mr. Giles will accompany you."
Hearing this, Anaya and Landin were both a little surprised.
Landin was only here to send an invitation, and he did not expect Carlee to let him go with Anaya.
Carlee explained, "The Malpas family and the Helms family have never been on good terms. There are many conflicts in business. Your father and I will probably not be able to enter the scene even if we go.
It is better for you and Landin to go."
Her words were actually a bit exaggerated.
Although there were some conflicts between the Malpas family and Hearst in the dark, there was still harmony on the surface.
The reason she said this was to create an opportunity for the two of them.
In Carlee's opinion, Hearst was a big jerk who had abandoned Anaya. A dedicated and upright person like Landin was more suitable for her daughter.
Anaya did not know what Carlee was thinking and said, "Alright. Mr. Giles, let's go."
Landin looked at Carlee and Carlee gave him a look of encouragement.
He hesitated for a few seconds and stood up. "Let's go."
The two went out together and the driver sent them to the hotel.
Entering the banquet hall, Anaya looked around the scene and did not see Hearst.
There were many acquaintances of Landin at the scene. There had never been any other woman besides his secretary and Layla. When the others saw Anaya, they could not help but inquire about the relationship between her and Landin.
In the face of everyone's questioning, Anaya was always absent-minded.
Seeing that she was not in a state, Landin led her to the rest area.
He walked in front of Anaya, and Anaya followed him. Her eyes were still looking around the banquet hall.
She did not pay attention to the road in front of her. When Landin stopped, she bumped into him.
"I'm sorry."
She hurriedly apologized and walked out from behind him.
Just as she raised her head, she met a pair of calm and steady eyes.
It was the person she had been looking for in the crowd just now.
Her face lit up and she was about to speak, but she then saw the woman beside Hearst who was holding his arm.
The smile that had just been raised disappeared in an instant.
