Need You Now

Chapter 140 Will You Stop Me

In S City, the plane landed. Heidy and her assistant got off the plane. Today, on behalf of the Hua Group, Heidy attended the annual meeting of the financial world. Every year, famous domestic groups would be invited to have a discussion on the domestic economic development.

As for A city, only the Hua Group and the J.Y Group were qualified to attend. When she came to S city once again, she felt nothing different. She guessed that she would meet Wilson later. After all, the GR Group was a well-known company.

When she just walked out of the airport, she saw both Hearst and Noah. Heidy was surprised to see them. Normally, a company would only have one person to attend the meeting.

Seeming to understand what she was thinking, Noah continued joking, "Don't you think it's very strange that we come together? Today, I am not come here as the vice president of the J.Y Group, but the boss of the J.N investment company."

Then, Hearst came over to her and added, "Noah has his own company. He helped me manage my company all these years."

"Okay," answered Catherine calmly. "You guys really have deep feelings to each other. Even your company's name is identical with Noah's." Then she walked away.

It took Hearst a few seconds to understand what was going on. Noah smiled and said, "You wife is so cute. We are so affectionate to each other. What a pity that we don't become a couple!"

Hearing their conversation, Heidy's lips curved. At least, she didn't have to face Wilson alone, which made her happy.

As the meeting was held in a large hotel by the sea, Heidy and the bosses of other companies were present one after another. Actually, Heidy was not the kind of person who was keen on talking.

Besides, she was a woman, so some of the bosses ignored her. It was a good thing for her that she could be alone for a while.

She had thought that she would meet Wilson, but it turned out that the person who represented the GR Group to attend the meeting was Nick. As she recalled what Hearst had said, she suddenly felt worried. Among the crowd, she found nothing but Hearst standing there, in a calm expression, surrounded by a lot of people.

On seeing this, Heidy smiled and murmured to herself, "It seems that my worry is not worth it." Heidy lowered her head and continued drinking.

Soon, the meeting began. Though Heidy didn't really want to know about the contents of the meeting, she listened carefully. Beside her, there sat Hearst. Glancing at his handsome profile, she was in a daze.

In fact, she had always thought that Hearst was a handsome man. He was the kind of man who was conspicuous in the crowd. Thinking that she had such a handsome husband, Heidy smiled unconsciously.

"Why are you smiling like an idiot? Are you thinking about a man?" Noah made fun of her.

Hearing his question, she came to her senses. Embarrassed, she said immediately, "No, I didn't."

"Then why is your face getting redder and redder?" Noah continued to make fun of her.

With a blush on her face, Heidy wanted to hide herself with her hand. She quickly turned her head to one side. Just because of this, Heidy directly stared at Hearst. She suddenly felt a little depressed. She didn't expect the organizers to let her sit between Hearst and Hearst.

Seeing her flushed face, Hearst reached out and touched her forehead, "Are you sick? Your face is so red."

She shook off his hand and said, "It's okay. I just feel a little hot."

"I really want to be in love. Autumn, it is a season for love," Noah said with emotion.

Keeping her head down, Heidy was about to ignore Noah's words and go on listening carefully. However, all her plans were ruined and she couldn't focus anymore.

When the meeting was over, Heidy left as fast as she could. When Noah saw her face, he smiled and said, "You two get along well with each other."

Patting him on the shoulder, Hearst left with Heidy. They walked out of the conference room and came to the door of the hotel. It was raining, which was unknown to them. Seeing this, Heidy stood there quietly waiting for the rain to stop.

Then, Hearst came over to her and stood side by side with her, enjoying the beautiful scenery. Staring at the distant sky, she said nothing.

Suddenly, she felt stomach rumbling. Then he turned to look at her and asked, "Are you hungry?"

With her cheeks flushed, Heidy said, "I have a good appetite recently."

Understanding what he meant, Hearst said with a smile, "Well, it's normal. I know there is a nice restaurant nearby. How about taking you there?"

Looking at his sincere face, she paused for a few seconds and then nodded, "Okay, but we don't have an umbrella."

Without uttering a word, Hearst turned around and walked towards the hotel. When he came back again, he had an umbrella in his hand. Walking up to her, he opened an umbrella and said, "Let's go."

Heidy didn't say anything, but walked quietly under the umbrella. When Noah saw them walking in the rain together, he smiled and said, "They've made a good progress. Should I start a new relationship?" While thinking, Jessica's face appeared in his mind. The smile on his face became bigger.

Walking slowly in the rain, she noticed that the umbrella was not big enough. When she turned her head, she found that Hearst's shoulders were wet. But she was totally protected by an umbrella. By instinct, she reached out and pulled him towards her arms.

"What?" Hearst said with a cunning smile on his face.

She pretended to look away calmly and said lightly, "What if you are sick and pester me?"

Hearing her reason, Hearst smiled and said, "No, I won't. And you can't catch a cold."

Not daring to look into his eyes, she just felt that his eyes were so charming and attractive. She didn't hate Hearst that much because they were in another new city. In this case, people were more likely to be affected. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

They finally arrived at the snack bar. They ordered some food and then sat down. Seeing that his clothes were all wet, Heidy frowned. "Take off your coat and the breeze will blow it dry later."

Hearst nodded and took off his coat. Soon, some snacks with local features of S city were served in front of Heidy. "Come and have a taste," said Hearst in a low voice.

Without saying anything, she took up a spoon and tasted it. She said in surprise, "It's quite delicious."

"Well, when I was a child, my mother took me here for the first time and I felt it was really good," explained Hearst.

Surprised, she looked at him. Trying to hold her emotions, she said lightly, "I didn't expect your mother to like these cheap snacks." In her impression, rich people always liked to eat in high-end restaurants, so they could show their noble taste.

Hearing this, Hearst replied calmly, "Mom said that when she was a child, grandma often took her to eat this. My mother is a very simple person. She said that one should never forget his root. You don't need to live long for something that doesn't belong to you."

Although Hearst's tone was calm, Heidy could sense that he missed his mother from his words. "Well, your mother is a nice person," said Heidy with a slight smile.

"Yes, she always was," said Hearst in a plain tone.

Then, the two of them didn't say anything more, but ate quietly. When she was full, people in the store looked at her curiously. With doubts, Heidy lowered her head and saw only a dozen bowls in front of her. At the sight of this, Heidy's face turned red.

She coughed to cover her uneasiness and said in a low voice, "I have a good appetite recently."

Hearst smiled and nodded in agreement and said, "Well, our daughter is like you, a foodie."

Heidy raised her head and said sweetly, "What's wrong with being a foodie? I'm fine. Only in this way can I be tall and fat."

"The height is no problem, and the width is a little difficult. After all, her dad and mom don't have this in their genes," said Hearst slowly.

Hearing his words, Heidy lowered her head without saying anything. When she was full, Hearst paid the bill. When they walked out of the shop, it was sunny. S city was a different fresher place after raining. She liked the fresh air after the rainy days.

Holding an umbrella in his hand, Hearst walked with her side by side, just as when they came. There were few passers-by on the road. Heidy squinted as if she was enjoying the autumn breeze.

"Will you come back to visit your father this time?" Heidy asked casually.

With one of his hands in his pockets, he replied in a calm voice, "No, I won't. I am not close to my family."

It sounded familiar to her. She still remembered that they had said such words in the Xu family when they had met for the first time. Keeping her eyes on the front, Heidy said in a casual tone, "You still a member of the Tan family even if you are not close to them. I think he probably wants you back."

She was sure of this. Putting aside the fact that Hearst was his son, he was also the boss of a multinational company like J.Y Group. Once the J.Y Group and the GR Group merge, it would be a leading enterprise in the country.

"That's his business. From his indifference to that matter, I know that there is no love between him and me," said Hearst in a plain tone.

Putting her hands behind her back, Heidy looked at the scenery ahead and asked, "If, I have to do my best to take revenge, will you stop me? It's my turn to revenge for my father's death."

Also looking ahead, Hearst replied in a low voice, "No, I respect your decision, and I always do. Besides, I need to solve the problems with him."

His mother had been one of his most important relatives. And all the love in his childhood came from his mother. And after his mother's accident, he felt her sadness. Therefore, it wouldn't be easy for Hearst to let off Wilson.

Heidy turned her head and their eyes met. Putting on a sweet smile, she said, "Thank you. I feel relieved now. Even if my ability is limited, I will try my best."

"Okay," Hearst replied indifferently.
