Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 308

Even though the mall was heated, Anna felt cold all over.

When she spotted Wayne, she had just gotten off the escalator.

Anna paused for a moment before ducking behind a billboard. Then she looked closely at the woman standing next to him. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The woman appeared to be in her twenties. She was dressed in a white sweater and light blue jeans and holding a gray coat, seeming to be gentle and sweet.

Anna thought that this woman might be the liar that Peace was talking about. They carried bags full of baby stuff as they took the escalator from the first basement floor.

Wayne bowed his head and laughed after the girl said something to him. They then walked out of the mall and took a taxi.

Anna stood in front of the mall, watching them walk away. At the same time, the wind blew in her ears, making her feel both calm and disoriented.

After a while, Anna finally went home to relax. Before going to bed, she took a shower.

Trying hard to suppress the anger and frustration that arose in her heart, and remain calm, she hoped that Wayne would explain to her what had actually happened between the woman and him once he got back.

Anna was confident that the woman was a liar. However, she knew she couldn’t tell Wayne about it.

She feared Wayne wouldn’t believe her unless she told him the truth,

which she was still unprepared for. 308 Who Is She? oS

‘Anna was at a loss for what to do: confess or cover up a big lie with a new one. She was utterly perplexed.

At the same time, Leon was sitting in his hotel suite’s room. He appeared to be completely sober as if he hadn’t been drinking at all.

His phone rang as he sat glumly on the edge of his bed.

After he answered the phone, a man asked him, “Did you finish it? It’s been a few days, Leon. Do you remember what you promised me earlier?”

“Ah, chill. Anna Gabriel is very different from all the women I’ve met before.”

“Hal | told you she is a smart woman. I’m telling you, you don’t have to date her. You know, you just have to take videos. Did you bring the drugs I gave you?”

Hearing that, Leon frowned, and he looked at the bag on the nightstand, saying, “Yes, | did bring it. But she didn’t drink the water I gave her.”

“What? So, what did you do last night? Did you record her driving you back to the hotel?”

Leon froze for a moment, and then said, “No, she didn’t take me back to the hotel. | took a cab back tonight.”

“f**k! I’m telling you, you’re running out of time. Do what | told you to. as soon as possible. Otherwise, you won’t be able to pay off your gambling debts.”

Leon’s face turned pale gradually. After hanging up the phone, he closed his eyes.

The room was very quiet, and the air was filled with the scent of alcohol. He took a deep breath and then smelled the rose scent. His eyes 308 Who Is She? S became tender when he looked at Anna’s

white coat, which was hanging in the closet.

It was morning the following day when Anna woke up. The sun shone on her face through the curtains, forcing her to close her eyes.

She frowned as she lifted her hands to shield the light before sitting up.

Apparently, Anna had no idea when she had dozed off the night before.

The house was strangely quiet. Looking at the neat pillow next to her, Anna knew Wayne didn’t return to her apartment last night.

Anna clutched the covers tightly before recalling seeing him with a woman at the mall the night before.

She then heard someone open the door with a key. And Anna stood there frozen. Then she walked out of the room.

‘As soon as she got out of her bedroom, she saw Ryan, which was a bit disappointing for her as she was hoping that she would see Wayne instead.

‘And Ryan was putting on his slippers while holding several plastic bags.

He blinked when he looked up and saw Anna standing in her bedroom doorway in her pajamas.

“Anna, what’s wrong?” he asked.

Anna returned her gaze and said, “Oh, | didn’t expect to see you again. | thought you were still busy with your study. What brings you here so early, Ryan?”

“| had left something here and needed to get it. | might not be able to go home recently because there will be a school drill at the end of the 308 Who Is She? oY month. Well, anyway, | ought you some breakfast.”

With that, Ryan then immediately held up the bag in his hand.

Anna found a lot of food in the bag, and it looked like Ryan had also bought breakfast for Wayne.

Ryan didn’t ask Anna any questions. However, as a detective, he was skilled at observation. When he saw Anna’s expression, he knew Wayne hadn’t been home all night. Plus, he was also aware that something had occurred between the two of them.

He said with a smile, “Have some breakfast, Anna. | got you those delicious blueberry muffins.”

Anna sat at the table, her gaze fixed on the wall.

“Have some; it’s still warm,” Ryan said as he handed her a cup of hot coffee.

“Thank you,” Anna said with a nod.

However, she didn’t drink the coffee.

Seeing that, Ryan couldn’t help but ask, “Anna, are you okay? You look worried. Is it about Wayne? You can tell me if you want”

“No, I’m fine. But thank you for asking, anyway”

“Anna, don’t try to fool me. IT IS because of Wayne, isn’t it? “

“Ah, is it really that obvious?” Anna asked, frowning.

Ryan sighed and explained, “Yes, it’s quite obvious. Every time you made that face, | know you are worried about something concerning Wayne. So, of course, | know it’s because of him again this time. Tell me, what did he do to irritate you this time?”

Anna felt as if she were being choked when she heard the word “again.”

She didn’t say anything more because it was about the truth, which 308 Who Is She? SY was that she was Matthew’s mother.

Hesitating for some time, she said, “Sorry, but I’m afraid I can’t tell you about it. Ryan, go get your stuff. | have to leave now for work.”

Ryan, of course, realized Anna probably didn’t want to talk about it even when he insisted, so he stopped asking questions. And he left the house with the things he needed after having breakfast.

Anna arrived at the office an hour before the time for work.

The security guard standing at the door was still yawning at the time. After seeing Anna, he froze for a moment, and then immediately looked awake.

“Hello, Miss Gabriel,” he said as he greeted her.

Anna greeted him with a nod and then took the elevator to the tenth floor.

Mona had not yet arrived at the company yet. Not only that, but no one seemed to be there for work.

And Anna was about to turn on the light in the corridor when she noticed a faint light.

Immediately after that, she realized that it was coming from Wayne’s office.

Tip-toed, Anna approached Wayne’s office.

The door to the office was ajar, with a dim light peeking through the ere

She was surprised to see that Wayne was dozing off at his desk.

Speechless, Anna stood in the doorway, staring at him. When she recalled the scene where Wayne was talking happily with the woman last night, she got mixed feelings. 308 Who Is She?

She had no idea why Wayne hadn’t returned home all night.

However, Anna assumed he had spent the night in the office after sending the woman home.

In Anna’s opinion, Wayne didn’t even have to work hard for her company. But she just couldn’t figure out why Wayne didn’t mention anything about that woman.
