Chapter 28 I thought you are dead
Tina's POV:
However, things didn't go as we expected. On the next day morning, before these news stories could get out, accounts of the trolls hired by my mother were blocked. The public attention had shifted from Anya to a popular actress, Ellen Smith.
She was a new star in Kester's company, she won her first best actress award yesterday.
Besides, Ellen just announced she had a boyfriend who was an accomplished actor.
The news instantly rocked the whole internet.
It caught the public's attention.
However, I know that it was nothing but just a marketing strategy masterminded by Kester's company to protect that bitch.
They just wanted to distract the public's attention from Anya.
"Mom, I told you. It doesn't work."
Although she had spent a lot of money, it didn't work at all.
"Let me figure out another way to deal with her." She said, gnashing her teeth in hatred.
"Tina, Mr. Cater will be back soon. Get ready to pick him up."
"Remember to further your relationship. You have been dating for so many years. It's okay to be proactive and bold."
"Are you still a virgin? It's not a bad thing. This would make you more valuable."
"Mom..."
Hearing my mother's words, I felt a little embarrassed.
After all, I am not a virgin anymore.
When I was in college, I once went to a summer camp with my classmates.
That was a crazy night.
A boy paid special attention to me and he was good at flirting. He was a school hunk who was tall and handsome.
Stimulated by the alcohol, I failed to control myself and slept with him.
Since I had the first experience, I did it again and again.
The boy was very good at flirting.
I was titillated every time.
Until now, I still contacted that boy every month and spent a crazy night with him.
However, the boy was poor. Except for physical pleasure, he can't give me anything else. Therefore, I can't marry him.
But as an adult, I had physical needs.
Since I tried to maintain my pure image before Evan, I couldn't casually allow him to touch me or let him know that I was not pure.
By contrast, I could enjoy the physical pleasure without any scruples when I was staying with that boy.
After being pretended to be pure for too long, I was a little agitated and needed to vent my feelings.

Evan's POV:
I dared not to disobey my Grandma, so I decided to bite the bullet and ask Anya for the child.
My Grandma was my only family, and she was old. I want to be filial to her.
No matter what she asked me to do, I would try my best to make her happy.
Since she wanted to see the child, I wouldn't disappoint her.
In the early morning, I directly went to the Walter Group.
""Where is Anya?"
"Miss Walter hasn't been in the office for several days."
I was a little surprised.
Then, I took my phone to call her, only to realize that I didn't have her number.
Two years into our marriage, Anya had always been the one who made the phone call. And I disdained to save her number.
Now, four years had passed, and her number had already been wiped from the phone records.
'It seemed like I can only contact her through F******k Messenger.'
Even though we had been divorced for four years, I hadn't deleted her from Messenger.
Sometimes, when a message came, I would hope it was from Anya.
However, she never texted me, not even at once.
At first, I thought she could not
without me. I thought she would
continue to pester me after net
our
divorce and use all kinds of methods to get me back.
But, I was wrong.
With a darkened face, I found her Messenger account.
Her profile photo was still the same as before. It was a picture she took when she was in high school.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
She was beautiful and energetic at that time. Her eyes were like bright stars. People would amazed when they saw her.
It was a pity that I couldn't see her eyes shining like stars anymore.
After hesitating for a few minutes, I typed, "Hello."
It was the first for I to reach out to her. So, as I sent the message, I coughed dryly, to hide my embarrassment.
An hour had passed.
However, I still hadn't received any reply from her.
After being ignored by her like this, my pride hurt. My face darkened.
"How dare this woman not reply to me?" I thought.
"We need to talk."
I sent a second message in anger.
After waiting for a long time, I still didn't receive her reply.
Now, I was completely irritated.
I loosened my tie, as I smoked several cigarettes in a row.
"Coral, inform that Walter Group. Tomorrow, we will hold a general meeting of stakeholders and all shareholders must be present."
"Yes, sir," Coral nodded and left.
To be honest, I didn't care whether
Mr. White and Mr. Patel came or not,
I just wanted to see Anya. Since
couldn't see her in private, I planned to meet her in the company.
'She didn't dare to miss shareholders meeting!'
The next day, I arrived at the Walter Group ten minutes, earlier...
However, Mr. White and Mr. Patel were already in the company when I got there. However, it was not surprising...
Although I was not the chairman of this board, they didn't have the guts to ignore my words.
"Good morning, Mr. Cater."
I nodded at them and looked around, but Anya hadn't arrived yet. So, I stood in the lobby, waiting for her.
After a while, she finally came.
Today she wore a black Dior suit
with a skirt and white shirt. Her hair was casually tied in a low ponytail. She looked coll and chilly with the pair of black-rimmed glasses
As she walked, her assistant Rose followed her. They walked one by one toward the elevator.
Seeing her come, I immediately caught up with her, pretending like I just arrived and met her by accident.
"Anya."
She paused and looked back. "Mr. Cater."
"You have been missing for days, I thought you were dead." I said sarcastically.
However, when I calmed down, I regretted it a little.
This was not what I thought.
However, since I have a powerful family, I grew up with everyone sucking up to me. Therefore, I didn't have a very good temper.
Anya just rolled her eyes and didn't say anything.
I asked, "Yesterday, I sent you a message on F******k Messenger. Why didn't you reply?"
"I didn't receive it."
"Really? You didn't receive it or you just don't want to reply."
"Oh, I didn't use my previous account anymore."
I was speechless and said sarcastically, "So, I should go to the company to find you if I want to contact you."
"Rose, give him my business card."
"Mr. Carter, this is Miss Walter's business card. Her office number was on it. But she only answers it during office hours.
I was speechless. I was angry that she only gave me the office number.
It meant that she was not willing to give me her private number.
