She thought that this room was arranged for her.
“Andy, we can’t do this. People will gossip about us.”
“I don’t mind, so why should you care? Besides, no one dares to gossip about me. Whoever does, I’ll cut out their tongue.”
It sounded like a joke, but Mayra felt he was capable of such things. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
She was feeling really uncomfortable now and didn’t want to argue about these things anymore. She had a weak constitution, so she would have icy hands and feet in winter, unlike Anderson, whose body would
be as warm as a furnace.
“Why did you help Hailey today?” Anderson suddenly asked. His movements were silent, but the pain Mayra experienced seemed to lessen.
“Are you angry?”
“By defending Hailey, you’ve offended many, including the Fisher family!”
Anderson’s deep gaze bore into her, but she focused on the ceiling. “From an outsider’s perspective, it’s obvious that you’re targeting Hailey. She didn’t do anything wrong, did she? It was your mistake, not Hailey’s. It’s natural for Isa to be jealous and angry after such an incident.
“You also know that Isa’s decision to annul the engagement was just done in a moment of anger. Instead of comforting her, you went to Candor City on a business trip.
“In my opinion, you want to redirect the anger of the Fisher family toward Hailey. Andy, you’re really mean.”
Mayra turned her head to look at him, her eyes full of disdain. The two locked eyes, and Anderson looked deeply into hers.
“Even if the Fisher family is angry about me helping Hailey today, I’ll just keep my distance from them in the future. I saw that Hailey was in really bad shape at that time, so I helped her. You always target Hailey. You shouldn’t do anything you’ll regret later.
“Otherwise, even if you do regret it, I won’t care about you.”
Anderson’s smile seemed to be hiding a deeper meaning. “It seems you understand everything.”
Mayra sat up against the bed and adjusted her posture. Anderson withdrew his hand and rubbed his numb arm.
She said, “I saw what happened today, and I couldn’t just stand by. You really angered Isa this time. I heard from Caroline that she almost died. Andy, don’t you care about Isa at all? Or do you just want to retaliate against Hailey and make her suffer?
“By doing this, you’re hurting two people at the same time. Won’t you regret it?”
Anderson’s expression suddenly turned cold, and he got off the bed. “Mayra, let me teach you one more thing. There are things you shouldn’t meddle with, got it?”
As he uttered the last word, Mayra knew she had hit the mark, hence Anderson’s temper.
Seeing the momentary hostility in his eyes, she felt a little scared. Her voice immediately softened. “Got it. I won’t meddle in other people’s affairs anymore.”
“Rest well. I’ll take you out again tomorrow.”
“No thanks. I have to go back to class tomorrow.”
“I’ve already taken three days of leave for you. You can go back after you finish your check–up at the hospital.” Anderson left the room, leaving her no room to refuse.
Actually, she didn’t want to go back and forth either. This trip was already torture enough for her. She was more reluctant about going back to the Barlow mansion than enduring motion sickness on the journey back.
Although things were different from her previous life, Mayra discovered Anderson’s thoughts toward Hailey.
Someone like Hailey, with a strong personality and an icy elegance, was very attractive to dominant men like Anderson. He had lost interest in money and liked to conquer women who weren’t under his control.
Why didn’t Mayra realize this before?
She thought, “Anderson, you passed me to another man for Isabel’s sake in my past life. Was it because you thought my feelings for you were too cheap, so you left me just like that?”
That dream…
