Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 356

Chapter 356 Thank You

Jasper didn't sound cheerful.

Anna wanted to make him laugh, so she teased him by saying, "I know it's you because I saw your number on the caller ID! We're at peace even though we're getting divorced."

Jasper let out a laugh and said, "Yes, you're right."

He was silent for a short moment before saying, "I know that Lily took you to the house you used to live in.Please do not take this personally; she didn't mean to make you mad.She's never done anything so outrageous before."

"It's all right, Jasper.She probably assumed I'd prefer to live there.You didn't punish her, did you?"

"Well, actually, I suspended her for a month."

Anna signed and said, "Dude, would you please be kinder to her? Lily has worked for you for seven years, and she deserves to be treated well."

"She brought it up herself." Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Anna mumbled, "Ha! That really surprised me."

They made small talk for a while longer before hanging up the phone.

Anna sighed as she sat at the edge of her bed, reflecting on what Jasper had just said.

Wayne was staring at her while she was on the phone.He then asked, "What's the problem? You feel bad about answering your ex-phone husband's call?"

Anna froze for a moment before recalling that she had just turned on the video call.

She asked, "Huh? You were listening the whole time?"

Wayne nodded, looking dissatisfied.

"You will divorce with Jasper in peace?" he asked, word for word.

"What else should I say? Do I need to fight with him and go to the police station with him?"

Wayne was speechless.

Anna laughed out loud after seeing his expression and said, "Ha! Did you notice how picky you are with me? You've probably been sitting around too much lately.Aren't you busy at work?"

"The company is having a party recently."

The Carousel Group would host an annual party at the start of each year.

They would rent the top floor of the largest hotel in the entire city and bringin many stars.

It was both a celebration and an advertisement, which worked well.

As a result, this was likely to be the busiest time for the group.

Anna was shocked that he had time to be jealous and make jokes.

To reassure him, Anna explained, "Because of Lily, I sighed.She and Jasper both graduated from Yale, and she helped him to start his businesses shortly after.She has been around him for nearly eight years.In fact, everyone knows she likes him, except for himself."

"Men are not as insensitive as you assume, Anna.

He's probably pretending he doesn't see it."

Anna frowned and said, "No, you're wrong.I have a feeling Jasper is totally unaware of that because he's used to having her around.So, he doesn't even realize how important she is to him.For example, you wouldn't get attached to the cup you usually use, will you?"

Wayne was silent for a moment and replied, "I'll miss it when I lose it."

Anna froze and remembered something.

She suddenly realized what was happening and said, "Now I know why she took a month off! Great plan, Lily!"

Wayne called Gabe after finishing the video and said, "Cancel all my trips for the next few days and buy me a ticket for tomorrow."

"Sure.Where are you going?"

"To New York."

Anna barely slept that night.

As a result, she had to admit that she couldn't sleep without Wayne by her side.

Early the next morning, Anna went to the nursing home with many things.

When Peace saw Anna, she screamed and jumped out of bed.

She yelled, "Ah! My favorite potato chips!"

She then wrapped her arms around Anna's neck.

Anna coughed a few times before saying, "God! Did you miss me or the snacks more?"

"I can't even find these chips in America!"

Peace took the little snacks Anna had brought from England cheerfully, then invited her to sit by the window.

"Anna, you are the best!" She said with a smile.

Anna winked and said thoughtfully, "Karl will buy you snacks if you ask him to.Are you worried that your future mother-in-law will find out about it?"

Peace shook her head, "No! No! He's used to expensive food, so I think he might not know what I want."

Anna didn't want to argue with her about such trivial matters, so she said, "Fine.The good thing is, you can finally have your rice pudding now.What did the doctor say about your condition?"

Peace smiled cheerfully and said, "He said I'm doing fine.If my condition does not get worse, I should be able to leave the hospital and return home within a few days.I'll be just in time for your wedding."

"Really? That's fantastic!"

"Look, I have the wedding dress and bridesmaids’ dresses all designed," Peace said, pulling a sketchbook from a drawer in a nearby cabinet.

"Brilliant! Let me take a look."

Anna couldn't wait to see it.

Like most girls, Anna was looking forward to her wedding and hoping to wear the most beautiful wedding dress.

Anna slowly looked up and stared at Peace after flipping through a few pages, "Peace, are these my wedding dresses?"

On those drafts, there were dresses of various styles and colors, but they were all bridesmaid dresses.

Anna was disappointed to discover that there was nota single wedding gown.

Peace blinked and defended herself, "To be honest, all wedding gowns are the same.Right now, I could draw you one in five minutes.A nice bridesmaid dress, on the other hand, is difficult to find."

"Honey, you're a bridesmaid! You should put on a stupid rag so I can be the most beautiful woman in the room."

Saying that, Anna pinched and rubbed her face.

"Ah! I'm sorry!"

Peace yelled.

Peace then let go of Anna's hand and struggled to take out a thicker sketchbook from the cushion she was sitting on.

"Here," she said as she handed the notebook to Anna, rubbing her face.

Anna didn't seem convinced.

"If this one is full of best man’s clothes, I'll rip your mouth off," she said as she flipped open the book.

Peace sighed and said, "Whatever! Do you have any idea how much one of my designs is worth?"

Anna had already opened her sketchbook at that point.

The designs on the first page took her breath away.

The gowns were made of satin and were extremely elegant.

Peace had created six wedding gowns and twelve dance gowns for her.

"I figure you'll have a wedding at home and another one abroad.So, you need to prepare at least three wedding dresses, and a backup one.You can choose four out of these six dresses.Well, you can choose a few more dresses because you will be dancing a lot."

Peace had always enjoyed joking with people.So, when she became serious, Anna was taken aback.Deeply moved, tears welled up in Anna’s eyes.
