Chapter 62
The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.
Anna could almost picture his sleepy face.
She took a deep breath.
She tried to suppress the resentment surging inside her.
She never dared to act recklessly in front of Adrian.
She softened her voice and asked, "Where should I go to meet you now?"
A hurried response came from the other end. "The Marriott Hotel."
His voice carried a clear tone of busyness.
Before Anna could say another word, the call ended.
Listening to the dial tone, Anna's heart tightened involuntarily.
A hint of confusion also rose within her.
He owned such a luxurious villa.
Why would he choose to stay in a hotel?
But these were not matters she should question.
Shaking off the distracting thoughts, she entered the destination into the ride-hailing app.
Standing at the hotel entrance, Anna unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes.
No matter how much she prepared herself mentally, she still felt nervous when facing him.
Entering the hotel lobby, the spacious and bright environment was eye-catching.
The light gray marble floor gleamed under the lights.
Expensive art pieces hung on the walls.
Everywhere exuded luxury.
People came and went in a continuous stream.
There were couples embracing sweetly.
There were also hurried travelers.
Anna chose to wait in the lounge area.
She specifically picked a seat with a clear view of the exit.
Not long after, a familiar figure came into view.
She was about to stand up when she noticed a girl following closely behind Adrian.
The girl held his arm intimately.
Their laughing and chatting appearance was particularly striking.
At first, she thought it was Chloe.
But as they came closer, she realized it was a completely unfamiliar face.
The girl was as delicate as a porcelain doll.
She was a type Anna had never seen before.
She instinctively hid behind a nearby potted plant.
Afraid of being discovered.
The two stopped in the center of the lobby.
They seemed to be discussing something.
The girl smiled radiantly.
Adrian also showed a rare gentle expression.
He gallantly brushed away a stray strand of hair from her face.
His gaze was soft and unfamiliar.
The girl shyly tapped his shoulder.
Their intimate interaction resembled that of a couple deeply in love.
Watching this scene, Anna felt an inexplicable pain in her chest.
But she quickly suppressed the strange emotion.
After all, they were no longer together.
Who he was with had nothing to do with her.
Just then, Adrian leaned close to the girl's ear and whispered something.
The girl giggled and planted a kiss on his cheek.
Anna hurriedly averted her gaze.
She pressed her palm against her rapidly beating heart.
She didn't understand why she felt so sad.
Anna Ross, what exactly are you hoping for?
She looked up with a bitter smile.
Only to find that the girl had disappeared at some point.
