Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 286

Scott called Ryan about 30 minutes ago. He claimed that Anna had left the party early and turned off her cell phone. As a result, he was concerned about Anna’s safety. Also, he told Ryan about what Lillian said at the party.

Then Ryan said hesitantly, “Well, thank God Scott and Randall were both there, and they saved Anna from being humiliated in time. Otherwise, she would have felt very embarrassed. Do you think this whole thing is true?”

Wayne stared blankly into the distance, not paying attention to what Ryan was saying

Ryan replied to his own question, “Well, | don’t. In fact, there will be many coincidences in this world. So, you have no idea who you’ll run into the next second/’

He then stood up and walked to his room after finishing his Coke. Wayne wasn’t paying attention to what Ryan was saying at all. He went to knock on Anna’s bedroom door after that but froze. He didn’t know what had happened on his way to the bathroom, but he seemed to have

noticed that there was something fishy about the whole incident.

When Anna was humiliated, Wayne was on the phone with Henry, and then he went outside and ran into Rachel.

He finally understood why Rachel had said such a thing to him, but he regretted not asking her where she had heard it

Wayne was immediately disappointed. He remembered promising Anna last night that he would protect her at the party, but he failed, making him feel like an i***t.

Anna stepped out of the bathroom after taking a shower. She wiped her hair and looked out the door. And she hadn’t heard anything from outside.

She hadn’t gotten much sleep that night. She tossed and turned in bed, watching the moonlight shine through the curtains into the bedroom.

Ithad been freezing recently, and Anna could feel the cold wind stinging her bones as she walked back home with Wayne.

On the other hand, people’s hearts were colder than the weather in November days.

Anna thought, People sometimes can be scarier than ghosts. People! used to know didn’t seem to have changed. | expected them to at least change for the better, but it turned out Inever really got to know them.

Jacob remained as cowardly as ever, and Lillian remained vicious. Furthermore, they still enjoyed doing awful things to harm others.

That fact had not changed, no matter how hard Anna tried to hide what had happened six years ago. It knocked her down again at an unexpected time

Anna wondered if Wayne knew what Lillian said at the party, but she hoped he didn’t, in fact, she was worried about Wayne looking into what had happened to her six years before.

The cold rain continued to fall all night. The following day, Anna awoke while it was still dark.

She wore a heavy cashmere sweater because it was already getting cold.

As she showered and prepared to leave, she hoped she wouldn’t run into Wayne. She did, however, notice a man lying on the couch in the living room.

Wayne was sitting on that narrow couch, looking pitiful. His legs were placed on the couch’s arm, and he was only dressed in a thin blanket. Plus, he was even wearing the same clothes he wore the night before.

Anna paused for a moment before approaching and patting him on the back as she said, “Well, you can go back to your room.”

Wayne didn’t respond and appeared to be sleeping.

Anna shook him by the shoulders and said, “Wake up, Wayne. I’m not in the mood to joke with you! I’m off to work now, go to our room now.

He still didn’t move, much to Anna’s surprise.

Anna froze, then touched his forehead and noticed it was hot.

It was freezing that night, so Anna guessed that Wayne had caught a chill.

Anna woke Ryan up and then moved Wayne to the bedroom with him.

Ryan sat on the carpet and gasped, “I didn’t even lock the door last night! | really don’t know what Wayne was thinking! He has a thing for sleeping on the couch, doesn’t he? Plus, couldn’t he just turn on the air conditioning? “

Ryan waved his arms up in frustration. He wasn’t a fan of doing sports. Instead, he preferred to sit down and solve problems. As a result, it took almost all of his strength to lift Wayne, a tall, muscular man, into the bedroom.

Anna gave him a brief glance before tucking Wayne in and saying, “Come on, he probably doesn’t even know how to turn on the air conditioning. I’m going to go to work now. So, please give him some medicine when he wakes up. Take care of him for me, will you?”

Ryan nodded and asked, “Anna, do you really think I’m your nanny?”

Nanny’? Can’t you think of him as your brother and look after him?” Anna said.

She didn’t notice that Ryan immediately looked over at Wayne with mixed emotions in his eyes.

After Anna left, the whole house became very quiet.

Ryan stood up from the carpet and looked at Wayne from above as if he were a puzzle.

Suddenly, his cell phone began to vibrate.

He lowered his voice and answered the phone, then walked away, closing the door behind him and saying, “Hey, Mom, | need to take care of some school stuff. So, I can only return home during winter break.”

His mother said gently, “You haven’t been home in half a year! I called you two months ago, and you never called me back. What the hell have you been doing? Don’t try to lie to me! | asked your supervisor, and he said you’ve been away from school a lot.”

Ryan lied and said, “Oh, I’m out doing research. Although | got my PhD in school, | still have to write my essay. Otherwise, I’ll be unable to graduate. Ill be studying in America next year, so I need to finish my essay.”

“Geez! You always use this excuse to get rid of me whenever | ask you to come home. Okay, I’m going to hang up now. Bye!”

Ryan immediately became gentle and pampered, “Hey, Mom, did you miss me? If you miss me, then I’ll be back tomorrow.” “Come on, you don’t have to go home. I’m not even interested in seeing you. By the way, you told me that you’ve got a crush on a girl, right? Can you bring her back home? | really want to meet her.”

Ryan was embarrassed and replied, “Oh, I’m afraid not. She doesn’t like me, and she already has a boyfriend.”

His mother paused and said, “Oh, | can understand how she feels about that. You’re sloppy and don’t know how to say anything nice. She’s definitely not going to like you”

Ryan sighed and said, “How can you say that to me? I’m your son!”

“No, | found you in a trash can.”

After talking for a while, Ryan looked at the door to Anna’s room and asked cautiously, “Mom, do you want to come to Birmingham for Christmas?”

“Why do you ask that? | told you before | really don’t want to go there. Well, don’t ask me that question ever again.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“Really? So, you don’t want to see him?”

“actually, | saw him,” Ryan said.
