Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 334

Wayne’s gaze was still burning at that time. After hearing Anna’s words, his palm gradually warmed, and he became less enraged. “I’m sorry, Anna,” he said after a brief silence.

Anna could empathize with him, so she said, “It’s okay. | didn’t take it personally.*’

Then Wayne hugged Anna closely and appeared exhausted. He said, “Actually, | had previously imagined how she would appear in my life. After all, I’m her son. But she never came to see me after all these years.*’

Wayne had mixed feelings when he saw Jennie in that small town. Anna wanted to say something to him, but didn’t believe it was the right time. Moreover, Anna knew that if she continued to stand out for Ryan and Jennie, she might worsen matters. As a result, she remained silent.

In the evening, they picked up their two children and headed to a hotel restaurant for dinner to discuss their wedding. Anna invited Bruce, her mother’s second brother, and his family to dinner.

When they arrived, Peter had already sat in the front seat, his face solemn. He grinned and sat the two children near him as soon as he saw them.

Lydia, Bruce’s wife, greeted Anna immediately and said, “Anna, you’re finally here! We haven’t seen each other for a long time.*’ Though she sounded friendly, Lydia looked very unfriendly and kept sizing up Anna.

“I just went to pick up the kids,” Anna explained gently. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

She was not familiar with Lydia and her family. She had lived with the Millers as a child, but there was just her and her grandfather. Selina would 334 She Pushed Me pay them visits occasionally, but she only saw Bruce and Lydia at Christmas.

Lydia said to Anna, “I heard that both of your children go to Blue Castle Kindergarten, right? Johnny and Daniel are about to go to kindergarten. Sylvia and her husband have been to a lot of kindergartens, but they can’t find an ideal one. | went there yesterday since | heard Tammy was there. Isn’t this a wonderful school? Could you send both of my grandchildren there to school? The kids could keep each other company.”

“Well, actually, you could just apply with the kindergarten,” Anna replied, frowning. She hadn’t seen her Aunt Lydia in a long time, so she wasn’t expecting such a request.

“Anna, | don’t have as much power as you do. Can you help me out?” Lydia insisted.

Unable to contain herself, Selina snorted coldly and added, “Lydia, please stop. We are not here today to talk about your grandchildren.”

Selina was one of the family’s most powerful members. So, Lydia had to pretend to respect her even if she didn’t want to listen to her. Then Lydia quickly shut up, but she didn’t appear happy.

Looking over at Peter, Selina said, “Sorry, sir”

Smiling, Peter said, “Never mind, it’s fine. Please take a seat, Anna. It’s just a family gathering, you don’t have to be so nervous. We’re just having a casual conversation.”

The private area had a wide round table that could accommodate twelve people and was full. Peter and Wayne were the only two from the Wright family, and the rest were members of the Miller family.

Everyone knew why Bruce and his family had come. They had paid 334 She Pushed Me little attention to Wayne and Anna’s marriage, but asked a lot about Wayne’s business. Lydia’s daughter, Sylvia, had been asking Anna about the kindergarten.

It seemed that they were only here to get a bit of benefit. Joe and Selina were more trustworthy, and they kept talking to Peter about date and details of the wedding as if the family next to them didn’t exist. Their chat was going well.

Aiter finishing the dinner, Tammy gazed up at Anna, who appeared to be bored, and said, “I’m full, Mummy:”

“Do you want to play right now?” Anna asked, smiling and pinching Tammy’s nose. Tammy had been glancing towards the children’s section since she walked in and seemed to want to play there for quite some time.

Tammy grinned, exposing her pearly whites, “You’re so smart, mommy.”

“Okay, pumpkin. Do you also want to play over there, Matthew? Have fun, honey,” Anna whispered, touching Matthew’s brow.

“Okay,” Matthew nodded. He went to play there as well, with a nod.

“Johnny, Daniel, go play with your cousins for a while,” Seeing that Tammy and Matthew went to play, Sylvia said to her two sons. Because both boys like those slides and toys, they dashed over to it. After the children had all left, the room seemed much quieter.

Then Sylvia gave Anna a thoughtful look and said, “Our children are almost the same age, Anna. It would be fantastic if they could attend the same kindergarten.”

Anna said with a smile, “They’re still a year apart. Even if they went to the same school, they probably wouldn’t be in the same class.” 334 She Pushed Me

Anna was confident that taking the two kids to kindergarten would be a breeze. She only needed to talk to Wayne and convince him to do it. However, she didn’t want to help them. She believed they would

only ask for more if she helped them once.

Sylvia became frustrated when she realized she couldn’t persuade Anna. “Forget it, I’m better off relying on myself” she said, with an unpleasant expression and a scornful laugh.

Anna was grumbling but pretended not to notice it. She paid close attention to Selina and occasionally spoke with Peter and Joe.

Bruce and Lydia were unable to get any useful information from Wayne. As a result, their entire family appeared distressed and made the atmosphere grow awkward.

Anna realized a cozy family get-together with them was out of the question. So, her biggest expectation from them was to be nice and finish the dinner peacefully. However, her wishes did not come true.

Soon after, she heard a boy scream. When Sylvia turned back, she jumped up and dashed over, yelling, “Johnny!”

Johnny was lying on the ground close to the slide, his mouth swollen with blood. He appeared to have fallen to the ground and broken his lip. At the same time, Tammy was sitting at the top of the slide, stunned, staring at him. She seemed to be about to slide down and had no idea what was happening.

“What’s going on?” Sylvia asked in a panic.

“She pushed me! Mommy, she pushed me!” Johnny shouted.
