Reborn: Another Chance to Leave U by Hazel Ramirez

Chapter 322 A Man With No Sense of Direction

After Anaya left, Cristian returned to his room.

Just as he opened the door, he saw Linda standing at the entrance with an angry look.

Cristian and Anaya did not talk in a low voice, so Linda heard the conversation clearly.

She said to Cristian coldly, "Follow me upstairs."

After saying that, she walked in without looking back.

Cristian did not hesitate and followed behind her.

They went to the study. Cristian followed behind Linda and closed the door.

As soon as the door closed, a slap fell on Cristian's face.

The sound was crisp and loud, and it sounded especially clear in the silent study.

Before Cristian could come back to his senses, he heard Linda shouting angrily, "Jared has said that he wanted us

to cooperate with him and act as a harmonious family.

"Today, you kept showing your hate for him, and just now, you even said that Jared was wrong in front of Anaya.

Aren't you afraid that he will get even with us later?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Cristian sneer.

Cristian casually picked up the dead cat on his lap and stood up from the wheelchair.

He stood straight and steadily, and there were clearly no problems with his legs.

He looked down at his mother who had just slapped him. His eyes were gloomy as if he was going to kill someone.

However, the person in front of him was his birth mother. It was impossible for him to really make a move as long

as she did not cross the red line.

"Do you really think Anaya is so easy to deceive? Will she really be so stupid to believe that we are a harmonious

family as we act?

"Besides, Jared is just an illegitimate child of my father. Why should we obey him and see him show off in front of

us?

"He is a trash who lived in the slums. What are you afraid of?"

"What am I afraid of him for?" Linda was a little agitated and could not help but raise her voice. "Have you

forgotten how your legs were crippled? How much effort did your father and I spend to help you heal your legs? Do

you want him to cripple you again?"

"That depends on whether he has the ability!" Cristian did not listen to Linda. "Dad's company has also improved a

lot in the past

two years. I'll return to the company to work soon.

"Our family has already become stronger. Even if we leave Jared, we will still be able to live a good life!

"In a few years, when I revive our family's business, I will definitely make Jared pay for what he did to me ten times

over!"

"It's easy for you to say that! Do you know why your father's company has been doing better and better these past

two years?" Linda was angered by Cristian, who knew nothing about the truth.

"That's because your father is Jared's father. All the rich people in Ottawa who know Jared have to treat your

father well for his sake!

"If you fall out with Jared, what should we live on? The relationship between him and us has never been intimate.

What you did today is to put us in a deadlock!"

"Mom, you have been humble for too long a time. You even forget your dignity. He was able to cripple my legs

before only because of my negligence." Linda's words could not change Cristian's idea at all.

"His people are all ruffians and hooligans like Samuel. I don't know how many crimes they have committed. To set

them up will be just a piece of cake!"

Linda took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down. "Just the fact that you can't keep yourself cool today

shows that you don't have the ability to do anything big.

"Jared's power is not as simple as you think. You'd better put away

those unrealistic thoughts. Don't look for trouble!"

"You mean, you want me to pretend to be crippled for the rest of my life to avoid Jared's attack?"

"Exactly," Linda replied without any hesitation. "All I want is that you're alive. We owed Jared a lot, but now we are

even. You'd better not provoke him again.

"Also, during this period of time, I won't let anyone send you pets anymore. When Jared and Anaya leave, I'll get

someone to prepare

it for you."

Linda finished speaking and didn't give Cristian a chance to refute. She pushed the door open and left.

The door was closed behind Cristian. He looked even more gloomy. In the end, he couldn't hold back his anger. He

hit his fists against the wall.

It was cold in winter, and the streets looked bleak. Anaya and

Hearst strolled aimlessly in the city for a long time before they

finally took a rest in a square.

There were seagulls by the lake in the square. Anaya bought bread

and played with the seagulls.

Hearst kept her company for a while and saw that her face was red from the cold. "Would you like some coffee?"

he asked.

He noticed that there was a coffee shop outside the square when he came. The environment was not bad.

The most important thing was that there was an air conditioner in

it.

It was very warm.

Anaya had not had enough fun and replied casually, "Bring me a

cup of it, please."

Hearst meant to ask her to go in and warm up, but it was rare to see

her so happy, so he did not force her to go with him.

He would bring her a cup of hot coffee, and that would warm her up

as well.

"Wait for me here. I'll be back soon."

"Okay."

Hearst gave her his bread and turned around to head to the

exquisitely decorated coffee shop outside the square.

It was a weekday today, so there were few people coming to the

square, and there were even fewer tourists feeding seagulls.

In the case that there were too many seagulls and much fewer

people feeding them, a large number of seagulls gathered around

Anaya.

The bread she bought was quickly used up, and she planned to buy

some more.

She turned around and saw a man sitting on the stone bench in the

square.

He was tall and had deep eyes. He was a typical handsome hybrid.

The man sat on the stone bench expressionlessly. There were a few seagulls on his legs, shoulders, and half of

the empty stone bench next to him.

He looked a little dazed.

Anaya glanced at him and quickly retracted her gaze. She then went

to the store to buy bread.

After a minute or two, when Anaya returned, the man was still

sitting there.

The only difference was that there were more seagulls parked

around him.

There was even one crouching on the top of his head.

Anaya couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

She was somewhat worried that the seagulls would answer the call

of nature on his head.

Perhaps it was because she had seen that man many times. He also looked at her and nodded at her as if

greeting her.

Anaya was slightly stunned, and then she smiled at him.

Just as she was about to leave, the man suddenly said, "Miss, this is

South Square, right?"

Anaya: "No, this is East Square."

The man fell into silence.

Anaya guessed that he was probably lost. She continued, "If you

want to go to South Square, you can go through the middle of those

two buildings. Turn left at the first intersection and cross the road

from the underground. After you go up, you turn right and that's

it."

The man seemed to be thinking about what she said and then he

said, "Okay, thank you."

"It's nothing."

After pointing the way for him, Anaya continued to feed the

seagulls.

About five minutes later, she heard someone call her from behind.

"Miss."

Anaya turned around.

It was the man on the stone bench she saw just now.

He took out his phone and asked earnestly, "Can you tell me what

you just said once more?

"Let me record it."

Anaya was speechless.

He looked quite mature, but she didn't expect him to be a man with

no sense of direction.
