Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 26

“Broom-to-be, Jacob Palmer, and Bride-to-be, Lilian Hart sincerely invite Anna Gabriel to join them in celebration of their engagement.”

The italic letters on the cover were particularly conspicuous. There were cartoon images of the two on the inner page. Anna held the corner of the invitation card, with no enthusiasm in her eyes.

On second thought, it was not surprising for them to get engaged. Last time when Anna met Lilian in the elevator, she saw the ring that was invaluable to her on Lilian’s finger.

What was surprising was that they dared to send this invitation card to her. Anna leaned back on the sofa and smiled sarcastically. She could still feel a pain in her heart when she thought about that thing five years ago.

If it weren’t for Jacob Palmer and Lilian Hart, she wouldn’t end up living like this.

It was said that one’s life was never complete without falling in love with a douchebag. What was more, if a friendship couldn’t be considered as complete without her boyfriend cheating on her with her best friend, Anna thought that her life couldn’t be more complete.

At last, she threw the card under the side table and never looked at it again.

If you accidentally step on the dog’s poop, will you get closer to it and smell whether it is stinky or not?

The next day, Anna was going to think about the anniversary event plan, but she was woken up by the doorbell on the morning of the weekend.

She opened the door to see a man and a woman. The man was handsome and looked stable, and the woman was pretty and gentle. They both wore a neat suit with a briefcase in one hand.

“Sorry, we don’t need insurance service.” Anna sighed impatiently and was about to close the door.

The woman said hurriedly, “Are you Ms. Gabriel? We are the management assistants of Blue Castle Kindergarten.”

Anna opened her eyes wide in astonishment.

The woman smiled and reached out her hand, “I’m Eleanor Hudson, and he’s Patrick Craig. This is only a routine home visit before Tammy enters the kindergarten in order to get to know her habits, daily routine and medical history and so on.”

Five minutes later, Anna walked out of the bathroom and embarrassedly looked at the man and the woman sitting by the side table.

“Sorry, I don’t know you have the tradition of home visit.”

Eleanor still said in a gentle manner, “It is written on the admission letter. Maybe you haven’t had time to read it yet.”

Anna looked awkwardly at the scattered documents on the table, “To be honest, I have read only half of it because I’m not going to send my daughter to your kindergarten.”

“Not going to?” Eleanor couldn’t believe what she just heard, “Is there anything about our school that you’re dissatisfied about?”

“No no no…”

Anna hadn’t even been to Blue Castle Kindergarten. She continued, “I just think that Tammy isn’t suitable for the environment in Blue Castle. Well, obviously, you can tell it at the sight of my place.”

She naturally pointed at the room.

Peace’s apartment had two bedrooms and a living room. It was about 1200 square feet and spacious enough for them to live in. But the whole apartment maybe was only as big as a bedroom of the family that could afford the cost of Blue Castle Kindergarten.

“If that is what you’re worried about, I don’t think it is necessary.” Eleanor pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose and looked relived. She smiled and said, “As you know, you don’t need to pay the tuition fee. You don’t need to pay for anything after Tammy enters our kindergarten. This is what Mr. Wright ordered.”

“I really don’t need…” Wayne Wright’s reward was too big for her, which was exactly the reason why she resolutely refused it.

“Ms. Gabriel, I don’t think any other school will be more attractive to you than us.” The man sitting beside Eleanor suddenly said in a low voice.

He opened the black folder in his hands without hurry and said, “Our kindergarten has been cooperating with Presbyterian Hospital. Their best pediatricians all provide medical service in our school. For example, Doctor Carey Turturro work here. You can google her on the Internet.” Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Anna’s eyelids twitched when she heard Presbyterian Hospital. Then she was totally stunned when she heard the name of Doctor Carey Turturro, “What did you just say?”

“We have known a little about Tammy’s medical history. Congenital asthma still can’t be completely cured now, which is still a complicated problem in the world, so we can’t guarantee that we can cure Tammy’s disease. But Doctor Turturro is an expert in this field. If Tammy enters our kindergarten, we could let Doctor Turturro treat her.”

The man’s voice echoed in the living room. Anna’s eyes lit up as if she had just caught a life-saving straw.

Anna decided to take Tammy back to treat her asthma because the doctors in other countries didn’t know how to treat her. And Tammy’s condition worsened and worsened. Then she thought that maybe she should try herbal medicine. It was said that Doctor Carey Turturro was the most famous pediatrician for treating asthma. She asked a lot of people and finally heard that she retired and came back to Birmingham, which was the reason why she came back here too.

After looking for the doctor for so long, she didn’t expect that she was hired by the Blue Castle Kindergarten.

She began to waver in her resolution.

“Well, Ms. Gabriel, if you’re not sure about us, you can let Tammy stay in our kindergarten for a few days first to see for herself. If there’s something you’re not satisfied about, you can then make the decision to leave. We will recommend you to other kindergartens that you’re interested in. Do you think that will work?” Eleanor said so sincerely that Anna couldn’t refuse her.

Anna felt that though the two didn’t sell insurance, they were smoother talkers than those insurance salesmen.

“Okay, okay. I can have a try.”

“I have nothing to lose,” Anna thought, “If Doctor Turturro can‘t heal Tammy, I can leave the school. Besides, they can make a recommendation for us. Then we can directly go to that private kindergarten that I was going to apply for.”

Eleanor and Patrick asked about Tammy’s basic information before they closed the deal. Then they left Anna’s apartment and got into a car. As the car went out of the neighborhood, they made a phone call, “Mr. Wright, we have settled everything that you offered.”

“……” “Yeah, we first signed a contract with Doctor Turturro.” u

“We will take good care of the children. You don’t need to worry.”

After Wayne hung up the phone, the CEO office of Carousel Group had fallen into silence again.

Wayne looked at the medical history form and thought of Tammy’s cute bright-pink face, finding it impossible to connect her with asthma.

If it weren’t for Anna’s reluctance last night to let Tammy go to Blue Castle, he wouldn’t have thought of finding out the reason why she was so anxious to find a kindergarten.

At first, he thought that she was too demanding. But it turned out that she was only taking Tammy’s health condition into consideration.

While he was thinking, he heard a knock on the door. “Come in.”

Ada, with two cups of coffer in her hands, walked in, “Wayne, I’ve bought Americano for you. I know you like it.”

“What are you doing here at this time of the day?” He looked drily at her.

“Aren’t we going to tell Grandpa about our marriage tonight? I’m a little nervous.” Ada pursed her lips and looked a little shy.

“Didn’t you often go there before we decided to get married?” Wayne wouldn’t cooperate with her and quickly stripped away her lie.

Ada was embarrassed, but she still brazened it out, “Honey, I was helping you to fake our relationship before. But now that it is true, I will certainly feel worried. Wayne, what do you think of my clothes today? Are they appropriate? Will grandpa like them?”

Wayne didn’t even look at her, “Whatever.”

“Wayne.” Ada walked closer to him. She seemed to be dissatisfied and was about to lose her temper. But suddenly she saw a copy of a medical record on the table from the corner of her eye. The name “Tammy Gabriel” was quite conspicuous on the paper.
