Need You Now

Chapter 204 We Didn't Break Up

After breakfast, Heidy and Hearst drive Gavin to the kindergarten. Standing at the door, Heidy watched Gavin capered into the classroom. Then she turned around and walked side by side to the car with Hearst.

With her eyes fixated on the front, she thought of what had happened this morning. She said to him in a soft voice, "Hearst, we have been saying that we should solve the problem as soon as possible, but we haven't found the right solution. In fact, I have been very sad these days."

Holding her hand, Hearst said to her apologetically, "I know. I've hurt you a lot."

"Yes. I could have tried to accept it. However, Ada's action in the morning has made me understand something. To compromise was not a good solution. It might be better if she accidentally miscarried, but if she did have a baby, I would really be unable to accept it. No matter whether you will get involved or not, it will be my nightmare."

Hearing her words, Hearst stopped and looked into her eyes. "So?"

Hearing his words, Heidy also stopped. She looked into his eyes and said slowly, "Give me some time, Hearst. I can't accept the fact now. If I stay with you, I will think of it all the time. The best way is to part from you temporarily." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Before she could finish, Hearst refused bluntly, "No, I can't. Heidy, I don't want you to avoid every problem."

With a light smile on her face, Heidy said bitterly, "Maybe it's because I have gotten used to it. But this time I said to part from you, not because I want to break up with you, but because I want to give myself some time to think about this matter."

Holding her face in both hands, Hearst said seriously, "Heidy, I know you need time to accept it. In fact, I was investigating the matter as well. This is so weird that I always feel it is not right. Give me some time. When they relax their vigilance, we will definitely find some clues."

Following his words, Heidy smiled and said, "I think if we can separate, we can let them relax their vigilance. After all, the reason why Ada did these things was that she wanted to marry you and replace me. Our separation would make people think that we had broken up with each other. In this way, they may relax their vigilance."

Seeing the expression on her face, Hearst didn't answer. What Heidy said was reasonable, but he still didn't want to separate with her. "Heidy." He tried to convince her.

Staring at him, Heidy calmly interrupted, "It's about time. I should go to the company." Then she broke free from his hand, turned around and walked forward.

Seeing her receding figure, Hearst looked grave. But just as she said, it was not a good solution to put herself in an unfavorable situation. The top priority was to find her weakness. Hearst believed that things were not that simple as they seemed.

On the way to the company, they didn't talk about the topic. Heidy unbuckled her seat belt. She looked out of the window and said calmly, "I hope this can be settled as soon as possible. If that child was really born, I'm afraid I can't do it..."

She didn't finish her sentence. She opened the door and strode forward. There was no room for a third person in a relationship. That was her principle. Even if they were not in love, it was not allowed.

Inside the car, Hearst watched the figure of Heidy disappear. Then, he leaned against his seat and said, "Who is the guy that helped Ada?"

In the evening, when Hearst came back home, he only found that the servants were doing housework. Hearst went upstairs and habitually went to Elsa's room, but he did not find her in the baby's room. Seeing this, he ran back to his bedroom immediately. The decoration in the bedroom was the same as usual. He opened the closet and found that Heidy's clothes were still there, but what she wore recently was no longer there.

Thinking of what Heidy had said this morning, he immediately understood. He took up the phone and pressed her number. Not long after, the voice of Heidy came. "Have you gone home?"

With one of his hands on his waist, Hearst said solemnly, "Have you really moved out?"

Heidy said calmly, "I will stay at home with Elsa for a while. I want to think it over calmly. It takes time for us to deal with it. I know what you are thinking about, but it's necessary for us to separate. Besides, if someone plotted against me, it will good for the investigation."

Hearst knew what Heidy said was reasonable, but he still didn't want to accept. "Heidy."

"Hearst, promise me if you really love me. We will not meet each other recently unless something happens. I need time to calm down and think about how to deal with it," Heidy begged.

On hearing her insistence, Hearst was silent for a while. Then he said, "Okay, I agree to part from you temporarily. But it doesn't mean that we broke up."

Understanding what he meant, Heidy replied with a smile, "I know. Thank you for your understanding. Bye." With that, she hung up the phone.

Then, the phone was hung up. Hearst sat on the edge of the bed, looked around the familiar room, and he laid back on the soft bed. He found that he had changed a lot since he knew Heidy.

In the past, few people could threaten him, and he would not care about other's feelings. According to his character, he would definitely take some extreme methods to get rid of Ada. But he was not that cruel hearted after he had two children. He would think more after he had Heidy. If he did that, would Heidy accept it?

Then Hearst rubbed his temples tiredly and slowly closed his eyes. Suddenly, his phone beeped, as he was immersed in his own thoughts. Then, he picked up his phone, put it near his ear and answered, "Hello?"

When they were talking on the phone, Hearst opened his eyes. A cold expression appeared in his eyes. "Well, send the information to my computer. Keep investigating. I need more," said Hearst in a low voice.

Hanging up the phone, Hearst stared somewhere. Now he believed that he had been set up.
