Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 311

Wayne then took Anna to a fancy Japanese restaurant.

The moment the waiter opened the booth, Anna froze. She noticed that the woman in the white sweater from the night before was sitting inside the booth.

Wayne told Anna, “This is Miss Sophia York, Anna. Sophia, this is Anna Gabriel, my fiancee.”’

Sophia approached them and smiled as she said, “How do you do, Miss Gabriel?”

Anna reluctantly smiled and said, “Hello.”

Wayne didn’t notice what Anna was thinking and simply pulled the chair for her so she could sit down.

Anna had watched them from a distance the night before. And she finally had a chance to look at Sophia closely.

Looking at her up and down, Anna found the woman very beautiful. She was wearing a plain white sweater with lace trim, and her long hair was tied in a ponytail.

Sensing Anna’s gaze on her, Sophia gave Anna a shy smile and said, “Oh, lonce heard Mr. Wright say that his fiancee was a gorgeous woman. You are so pretty, Anna.”

Anna was not flattered but rather disgusted. She looked at the two men, waiting for them to respond.

However, the silence made them all uncomfortable. So, Wayne explained, “Oh, Sophia is a psychiatrist specializing in child psychology. So

I’d like to have her to check on Matthew to see what’s going on with 311 Is This Gonna Work? a him.”

Hearing that, Anna pressed her thighs together and said to Sophia, “Really? Wayne previously said he planned to take Matthew to a German doctor. Are you from Germany, Miss York?”

Wayne and Sophia both froze because Anna sounded aggressive.

After a while, Wayne frowned as realized that Anna might be irritated.

Anna asked, “So, Miss York, have you met Matthew?”

Sophia responded, looking relieved, “No, | haven’t yet. I just talked to Mr. Wright about him. He said you had spent much time with Matthew, so | wondered if you could tell me something about him.”

•Anna had seen several child psychologists because she hoped someone could treat Matthew. After asking Sophia a few questions, she discovered that Sophia appeared to be a doctor.

So, Anna wondered if she had made a mistake. She remembered Peace saying that Wayne had seen Matthew’s mother, but she didn’t know the woman’s name. So, when she saw Wayne and Sophia together last night, she assumed that the woman that Peace referred to was Sophia.

Sophia appeared very professional and said seriously, “Actually, | don’t believe that Matthew’s reluctance to speak is related to his illness. Maybe it was because he had been threatened before that he’s unwilling to speak, | believe. You’ve probably heard about babysitters abusing children in the news.”’

“Many people assume that children know nothing, but this is not true. Kids are sensitive and they are like white paper, and the adults around them are like painters. They will be colored if you give them colored ink. | hope you get what I’m saying. So, | believe the reason why Matthew refuses to speak was most likely because he has been intimidated and threatened 311 Is This Gonna Work? a not to speak.”

Anna realized that what she said was most likely correct.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Ithad occurred to her that previously. Mary, Matthew’s nanny, had said that Ada frequently visited Matthew at the Wright house.

Only Ada, however, was capable to to silence Matthew. Everyone assumed it was because she and Matthew were close. Plus, that was why Peter allowed Ada to date Wayne.

When Anna and Ryan talked about it later, she felt very panicked. No one would think that Ada, an unknown actress, would have the nerve to threaten Matthew. But she might just happen to have the guts to do so.

And Anna realized that not only did Ada have the courage to do so, but she had someone to back her up.

Having pulled herself back to reality from her thoughts, Anna smiled at Sophia and asked, “So, what do you think we should do?”

“Oh, we can take our time. | believe it is best not to give Matthew his medication first. We can recreate the scenario if you remember what happened previously. | mean, if you want to. That way, we might be able to cure him step by step.”

Anna froze and then asked, “Really? Can we really do that?”

“Yes, I’m confident about it. And the sooner we get started, the better the result will be.”

“But the point is, no one knows exactly what he’s been through,” Wayne said guiltily.

The three of them were then quiet.

“Actually, | know what Matthew’s been through,” Anna said suddenly, breaking the silence.

Wayne froze, then looked at Anna curiously, He was taken aback 311 Is This Gonna Work? because he had no idea that Anna managed to dig out the facts that he himself failed to find out.

Anna, on the other hand, decided to lie to them, trying to cover the fact that she and Ryan had a profound investigation about what had happened to Matthew before.

Having made sure what she was going to say made sense, Anna said after taking a deep breath, “Actually, Matthew had given me some hints. | deduced something from his words and the painting he showed me. So | believe someone had threatened him before to keep him from talking.”’

Wayne’s face darkened as he asked, “What? Who was it?”

Anna frowned as well. She paused for a moment before shaking her head. Then she answered, “I don’t know.”

Sophia then added, “Okay, then we can make that assumption. It is not difficult for me to recreate scenarios. So, | need you to make a choice.”’

Hearing that, Wayne and Anna exchanged glances. Anna wasn’t sure because she wasn’t sure if she should trust Sophia

“Please let us think about it for a moment,” she said.

Sophia seemed to understand why they hesitated. She picked up her jacket and bag and said, “No worries. If you make the decision, you can contact me at any time. I have to leave now; | won’t be able to join you for dinner.”

“Why? The meal will be ready soon,” Anna asked.

Sophia said with a bitter smile, “Thank you, but | must go. I’m going to

the hospital because the nurses are only available until 8:00 p.m.. | must change shifts.”

Anna had no idea what she was supposed to say when she heard her 311 Is This Gonna Work?

words.

After Sophia left, she asked Wayne, “The hospital? What is she talking about?”

Wayne explained, “Oh, Sophia’s husband has cancer. The doctor says he only has six months to live. So he will always be in the hospital, and Sophia needs to be with him every night.”

Anna froze, regretting having been so hostile to Sophia before

Meanwhile, she didn’t notice that Wayne looked like he wanted to confess something to her.
