Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 198

The more Anna thought about this, the more enraged she felt. So, she said everything that made her feel aggrieved recently at

once, “Wayne! You’d better think about how you talked to me before asking me this! You think I should always put Matthew first, don’t

you? But Matthew is just as important as Tammy to me! But, you don’t believe my words and also think I’m wrong! So, how do you want

me to treat Tammy? Have you ever really thought of Tammy as your family member and your daughter?”

Hearing that, Wayne was speechless.

“And, I want to say something about your childhood sweetheart, Charlotte. I believed you when you claimed that you treated her

like a sister. But have you considered that if you two were close, people would gossip about you? You know, even your cousin thought

you’re too good for me. If Charlotte is your fiancée, then who am I? Do you think of me as some kind of ‘mistress‘?”

Anna yelled fiercely as if she was exhausted, “I want you to know that I’m not that cheap!”

After she said those words, she stared at Wayne for a moment. Then, her eyes were red as she lowered her head. She looked like she

was feeling very aggrieved.

“Let go of me,” Anna said in aggravation, and her voice seemed to echo through the valley.

Wayne had a firm grip on Anna’s hand and would not let go no matter what. In a raspy voice, he added, “I’m sorry, Anna, and I’d like

to apologize to you. I was being silly about that. But, it’s not that I hadn’t considered your feelings. It’s because…”

He thought to himsell, I spoke out of turn because I was so angry. How could I expect Anna to give up her own child and only care

about Matthew! was anxious at that time because Matthew was in danger.

“Please accept my apologies.” He said.

Wayne had never been good at defending himself. He just said “sorry” despite the fact that he already knew what he was going to

say. Although he realized that it might make Anna think he was too casual, he meant it.

He finally understood that dignity and the trivial things in life were not that important. Only when people face death could they

realize what was the most important.

“I’m sorry, Anna. I want to apologize for all the things I did before. I’d like to apologize for everything I’ve done wrong previously.

I’m sorry, and I shouldn’t have done that to you. I wanted to express my feelings for you in less clichéd words, Anna. But after I thought

about it for a while, I couldn’t find anything more meaningful than those words. And… Anna, I love you.”

In the chilly evening breeze, Anna felt an unexpected flash of warmth. She couldn’t break away from his grip, and all she could do

was weep even louder. Her hot tears rolled across her face and dried by the whistling cold wind.

“You‘re such a jerk!” Anna exclaimed, her voice hoarse with resignation.

Nonetheless, she remained silent in his embrace. She was enraged like a child who dropped her ice cream on the floor.

In fact, there were not so many misunderstandings in the world. As a result, people needed to be open with one another. Only by

laking the first step forward would you be able to tell people what you wanted to do. No matter what kind of mood swings you were

going through in your healt, others would never know if you kept it a secret.

Anna Snerred as they returned to the col

Wayne tumed off the al conditioning and wrapped his jacket around her. He looked at her worriedly and then gave her a cup and

said, “Anna, have some milk.”

“Thanks

Anna Suitfied and took the cup. Alter they had calmed down, they said nothing about what had just happened,

Il was so humiliating! We were both crying on the road because of a little night.

Anna thought to hersell.

Wayne said after a while, “Actually, we cleared everything up before you resigned. Kenny was the one who started the fire. Also,

Matthew had already gone into the freezer at that moment, Kenny used sleeping pills to sedate Tammy, but he refused to admit it. I’ve

meant to tell you all this, but I didn’t get the chance.”

Anna nodded and said, “I know.”

By saying that, she meant two things. The first was that she had already traveled to Liverpool and investigated the incident. She

also gave John some hints to help them figure out the truth. Otherwise, she was worried they wouldn’t know how to continue the

investigation. The second thing was that she knew why Wayne didn’t lell her alter he lound out what had happened.

At that time, Frank was suddenly sick and hospitalized in the hospital, and she had just broken up with Wayne. And Wayne was

always proud, so he wouldn’t take the initiative to visit her.

“So, who ordered him to do it?” Anna pursued, thinking, Kenny is just an apprentice chef who grew up in a small fishing village in Liverpool. He would not harm children for no reason if no one had paid him or told him to do so. He did it only because he could gain NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

profit from it.

Moreover, Anna had the impression that many people were working with him on this. The two waiters who told Anna that Matthew

had gone to the bathroom, for example, were skeptical. They appeared to have done this on purpose to deceive her.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many coincidences.

“Oh, Charlotte did that. Don’t worry; I’ll make her apologize to you and Tammy,” Wayne said directly.

Anna was taken aback and asked, “What? Charlotte?”

Wayne looked at her in disbelief and asked, “Huh? Why are you acting so surprised? Didn’t you ever suspect her?”

Wayne felt that Charlotte was the most suspicious in the whole thing.

He thought, The fire was big, so why did Charlotte rush in? And, how did she know that Matthew was inside the kitchen?

Also, Wayne noticed that talking about that incident made her flustered. She was reluctant to mention what happened at that time

and even evaded it.

In any case, she saved Matthew’s life. If she behaved low-key, it could be because she was a moderate person. But if she acted

agitated when he mentioned this, it would only mean she was guilty.

Anna denied it and said, “Oh, no. Actually, I don’t think she was the only one who did it. If she planned the whole thing alone, she

couldn’t have made herself seem so suspicious.”

“Well, maybe she didn’t expect the fire to get out of control.”

Anna looked at Wayne and said calmly, “Or perhaps the person who agreed to start the fire with her changed their mind afterwards.

Maybe they wanted to use this as an opportunity to hurt her. You know, they wanted you to misunderstand me and suspect her at the

same time.”

Wayne froze and looked at Anna in astonishment as if he had thought of something. He asked, “So, who did it?”

Anna said calmly, “You know, countless people all over Birmingham want Charlotte and me to disappear from your side. So, we

can’t rule them out one by one. But Charlotte definitely knows who that person is! If you trust me, just let me deal with it. I want to ask

Charlotte about it myself.”

“What? You want to ask her in person?”

“Ah, yes. What? Are you afraid that I’ll hit her?” Anna asked deliberately as she raised an eyebrow at Wayne.

Wayne, however, smiled as if he was at ease and leaned back. He said slowly, “In case you don’t know, Charlotte’s in good at karate.

She can split bricks with her bare hands.”

“You’re kidding, right?” Anna couldn’t believe his words and stared at him in disbelief.

Wayne immediately said, “Oh, you don’t believe me? Her ex-husband shoved her once when he was drunk, and she broke his arm

the next second.”
