Chapter 487
She had chosen silence for so long, just to protect her mother's final dignity.
She never wanted anyone to see the scars of her past.
But now, everything was spiraling out of control.
Mia Lawrence couldn't understand her stubbornness.
She shook Anna's arm forcefully.
"Anna, wake up! Why are we torturing ourselves like this?"
"Is being misunderstood really that enjoyable?"
"Anna," Julian Garnache intervened, seeing both women were emotional.
He pulled Mia away gently.
"Calm down first."
Mia looked at her best friend, tears silently streaming down her face.
"Anna, I just want you to be happy."
"I hope you can always be joyful."
Anna Ross didn't respond.
She turned and walked away expressionlessly.
"Anna!" Mia tried to chase after her.
A sharp pain suddenly pierced her chest.
She had to stop, fine beads of cold sweat forming on her forehead.
Julian was caught in a dilemma.
His usually composed face showed rare panic.
He held her tightly.
"Mia, are you okay?"
Mia lifted her pale face.
"Julian, don't worry about me."
"Go after Anna."
Julian hesitated for a moment.
But he didn't let go of her.
"I'll take you to the hospital first."
Mia was slightly stunned.
Every time they met, she could feel he came for her besties.
But now, he was willing to stay for her?
Julian gave a faint smile.
He supported her as they walked out.
Outside the bar.
Noah Watson watched Adrian Sinclair's unprecedented expression.
His heart was in his throat.
"Mr. Sinclair, let's go back and talk."
The outdoor wind was bitterly cold.
Standing in the wind was not wise.
He rubbed his icy hands, inwardly shocked.
No wonder these two always had a subtlyๆฐๅบ at the company.
Turns out they were exes.
Knowing such a secret, would he be fired directly?
Adrian leaned against the railing.
His hair was tousled by the wind, but he remained motionless.
Like a statue carved from stone.
After a long time, he spoke faintly.
"Assistant Watson, you go back first."
He lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.
But it felt tasteless.
Noah was torn.
"Mr. Sinclair, it's late, you here..."
"I'm fine. Take a taxi back." Adrian interrupted before he could finish.
Adrian handed him the fare, then turned and drove away.
Noah stared at the cash in his hand and sighed helplessly.
Love is a difficult pass to cross.
The ancients truly did not deceive.
But the company would probably be shrouded in low pressure next.
He had to mentally prepare himself in advance!
......
"Sis, you're back!"
Sophia Roscente was immersed in a hand-woven rose.
Seeing Anna enter, she hurriedly hid what she was holding.
Anna glanced at her listlessly.
"Sophia, I'm going to rest."
Without waiting for a response, the door closed.
Sophia looked at the closed door.
She took out the hidden weaving materials again.
For some reason, she felt Anna had been unusually down these past two days.
Maybe it's that time of the month?
She would definitely be happy once she finished weaving this rose for her!
