Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 227

Wayne then felt a shiver running down his spine, and his heart ached. The last trace of tenderness in his heart disappeared.

He stared at Anna’s expressionless face and said word for word, “Do you dare to say it

again?”

“Yes. And I won’t change my mind. If you’re to hurt Jasper, you should come at me as well” Anna said in a decisive tone.

She gazed at him with disdain as if she had been deeply disappointed in him.

Then, she even began to doubt herself, I was so stupid that I fell in love with you, Wayne. It turns out you’re just a narrow-minded pretentious man and would gloat over your wealthy family. You even think that you can just trample other people’s lives as you like! Wayne’s fists were clenched more tightly, and his bones made a clicking sound. He said those words with his gritted teeth, “Are you willing to put your life on the line for one another? What a touching friendship you have! Anna, you were lying to me before!”

Anna frowned but didn’t explain anything.

However, Wayne misinterpreted her attitude as she couldn’t defend herself. With a snarl, he added, “Don’t you think it’s silly of you that you’re threatening me like that? Who do you think you are?”

Despite the fact that Anna knew Wayne was angry, she couldn’t help but be curious about his answer.

“I’m also intrigued as to who you think I am,” she said, despite the fact that she didn’t hold out much hope for it.

“You’re nothing more than my f**k buddy, Anna.”

Anna recognized then that reality was always harsher than it appeared. After hearing Wayne’s mean words, Anna felt as if a knife had stabbed her in the heart.

She then tried to hit Wayne in the face with her fist. She discovered, however, that she had lost all of her strength. She used to love Wayne so much. Yet, she didn’t expect him to treat her like a f**k buddy.

Wayne had humiliated her to the point that she felt as if he had ripped out her proud heart and exhibited it for all to see.

“Wayne, I think I used to overestimate you. I used to thought you were a gentleman. Now, it seems that I was completely wrong.” Jasper spoke up at that point. He then unfastened his suit jacket, and his face became irritated.

Then, he immediately punched Wayne hard in the face. Wayne let out a muffled grunt before collapsing to the floor and knocking over the chair beside him.

All of Wayne’s bodyguards ran towards them, trying to help their boss. Nevertheless, Jasper’s bodyguards were all ready to do the same. These two groups immediately fought

with each other.

They threw tables and chairs at each other and made a lot of noise. Also, some of them then fell to the ground and rolled around because they were hurt.

The entire restaurant was a shambles. Before Anna could react, Jasper and Wayne had already started fighting.

Jasper usually did a lot of extreme sports. So, he was good at fighting and could bear more pain than others.

Soon, he got the upper hand,

He then struck Wayne again, knocking him to the ground and toppling the huge glass floor lamp next to him.

Wayne then fell to the ground, looking miserable. “Oh! Wayne!” Charlotte exclaimed.

She yelled at Jasper as she stood in front of Wayne, “Hey, I’ve called the police! And, my brother and the police are on their way.”

Jasper had raised his fist and was about to strike Wayne once more. When he saw Charlotte, he glanced grimly at her and then at Wayne. He then sneered and said, “Oh, ! don’t hit women.”

Wayne covered his chest and couldn’t say anything after a long time.

Why would Jasper say something like that? Was he being sarcastic about how rough! was with Anna the other day? Did he even know about this thing? Anna appeared to be open

to discussing everything with him, Wayne thought.

Jasper then wiped his hands with a towel from the table. When he saw how pale Anna’s face was, he felt overwhelmed with remorse.

I shouldn’t have hit Wayne in the first place! Did I scare Anna? Jasper thought to himself.

“Anna, let’s go.” He said to Anna with concern and held her by the shoulders.

When Anna looked over at Wayne, she saw Charlotte standing beside him with an anxious expression. Charlotte appeared fragile and adorable, as if she was going to cry.

I could never be as gentle as her! Anna thought.

Anna had wanted to go to Wayne’s side and see if his injuries were serious. However, at that moment, she gave up the idea. She clenched her teeth and left there without looking back.

She noticed that the floor was littered with tables, chairs, and plates that had fallen to the ground. The elegantly designed French restaurant had become a battleground.

She was well aware that anytime Jasper went out, he would be accompanied by his bodyguards. So, she didn’t ask any questions and just walked over to his car.

Tammy was quietly eating pudding and watching cartoons in Jasper’s car. She was oblivious to what was going on outside as a child, and nothing seemed to bother her.

“Oh, I’m so sorry. Look, we haven’t even finished our meal yet! Why don’t we eat at a different restaurant?” Jasper said.

To Anna’s surprise, he was thinking about eating at that time. It seemed that what had just happened didn’t seem to affect him at all.

Yet, Anna had lost her appetite. Shaking her head, she responded, “No, thanks. To tell you the truth, I’m already stuffed. Is it possible for you to drop Tammy off at my aunt’s house? I’ll have a meeting with the designers about the sample dresses tonight.”

Jasper nodded. After that, he told the driver to drive. Anna and Wayne didn’t call or see one other for half a month after that day.

During that period of time, Anna was busy making the first batch of clothing. Although she changed more than a dozen fabrics and about a dozen clothing factories, she was unable to make Andrew satisfied.

Andrew was a meticulous designer and wanted to make clothes that would satisfy him in every detail. He was quite particular about textiles and procedures, which caused the entire program to drag.

Fortunately, Jasper was willing to help her. He found her an Italian fabric dealer who agreed to work with Lemon on a temporary basis and supply them with high-quality fabrics. They were also able to enhance the apparatus of the factory on their own, thanks to Andrew’s efforts.

Half a month later, Lemon’s first store opened as scheduled, and it was located in a good position in Star Mall.

Many people brought them flowers and cards to celebrate the occasion, and almost all of them were Anna’s coworkers at the Carousel Hotel.

Almost everyone was aware that Anna and Wayne had broken up. They didn’t feel appropriate about going there in person to support Anna, so they could only send flowers to show their congratulations.

After all, Anna could see why they did that.

The first to come was Jasper. He presented her with a bouquet of sunflowers and congratulated her on the opening of her new store. While he was talking, Lily said he needed to work and urged him to leave.

After that, he left after Anna reminded him that it was time for him to return to work.

Just after sending Jasper away, Anna saw a man in a blue suit at the door. She froze when she realized who he was. While she was dazed, the man walked into the store. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

He grinned as he handed Anna a lovely navy blue present box and said, “Congratulations, Anna. I hope your business will be a success.”

Anna took the gift box and said, “Oh, thank you!”

Karl looked at her with a smirk, and then said, “Oh, are you surprised that I came here? You seemed awkward just now after recognizing me.”

Anna frowned and denied, “No, that’s not what I meant. I thought you didn’t have time to come here because you had to take care of Peace.”

“Haha, I didn’t mean it, Anna.” Karl then followed Anna around the large store. Pretending to seem unconcerned,

“Anna, I’m curious about who Tammy’s father really is. Can you tell me the truth?”
