Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 381

381 You Can Have the Kids

Scott was in Europe on tour at the time. Anna’s eyes widened in surprise as she realized what had happened. After entering the venue, fans discovered that the singer did not appear. If the fans were enraged, the consequences would be disastrous.

Anna thought to herself, Randal is the organizer of the event, and he’s going to lose alot of money. After doing the math in her mind, she said, “He’s going to lose at least 70 to 80 million dollars on this one.”

“He deserves it!” Scott gritted his teeth.

Hearing that, Peace and Anna exchanged meaningful glances and laughter.

“This is the first time I’ve seen someone waste their money to get back at their boyfriend. You can give the money to me if you have too much money to waste,” Peace said teasingly.

Everyone left after dinner, but Scott stayed and said he would spend the night there. Just as he finished his sentence, Jasper’s housekeeper walked in and said that Randal had arrived there

Scott was playing a game on his phone intently. So, he told the housekeeper to get rid of Randal. Stretching out and laying down on Anna’s bed, Scott said to Jasper, who was sitting on the couch across from him, “I’m not going anywhere! You’re the host, right? So, can I stay in your guest room tonight?”

Jasper sipped his coffee and said, “No problem. Actually, I don’t think you might be able to stay here tonight, so I’ll ask them to prepare a room for you after Randal leaves. Anna doesn’t like too many servants in the house, so I told many of them to take a leave.”

Scott frowned and said to Anna, “Help me!”

Anna and Peace laughed happily and said, “No, we can’t intervene in it. Didn’t you discuss it with Randal?” 380 You Can Have the Kids “I’m not going to talk to him!”

Seeing Scott acting so unreasonably, Anna said, “You can stalemate. Can you sleep if you leave him downstairs all night waiting for you?” “Lean.”

“I’m afraid he’s not going to let you sleep either if that’s the case,” Anna said.

“Mr. Wilson is here, and he says he wants to see Miss Gabriel,” the housekeeper returned and said.

Everyone went completely still. “Are you sure he’s here to see me, not Scott?” Anna asked.

“He said he came here specifically to see you.”

Scott was humiliated because he had just asked the butler to kick Randal out. It seemed that he was making a fool of himself. Anna glanced at Scott and noticed that he looked extremely embarrassed.

After that, Anna laughed and walked to the door. “He probably felt humiliated by you kicking him out, so he made an excuse to say he was coming to see me,” she reassured Scott. “I’ll be right back.”

Meanwhile, Randal was drinking tea in the living room. Because the maid hadn’t had time to put away the plates from the dining room table, it appeared a little cluttered.

Anna explained awkwardly to him as she came downstairs, “We’ve just finished eating. If you had come earlier, you could have eaten with us.”

Randal said, “He wouldn’t eat anything if I was there.”

Anna realized she was correct and said, “After all, you came to pick him up. Why did you ask to see me? | thought you were here for Scott.” Randal said, “I have something to say to you. Scott was abroad

at a 380 You Can Have the kids concert when I learned you had been kidnapped. I didn’t tell him because he couldn’t come back to help you.”

“I see what you’re saying.”

“I kept an eye on everything. I also looked for people to help with the search. But I didn’t really help you because Wayne took care of many things.”

“What does it have to do with him?” Anna asked in surprise. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Randal put down his cup and said calmly, “Oh, he should thank me for telling you this. Wayne was the first that had learned that you had been kidnapped, and he devised the entire rescue plan. He was initially hesitant to contact the CID because he was afraid that it would backfire. So he enlisted the help of a few Blue Eagle reservists and struck deals with drug dealers. He also went to the island on that day.”

“But I’m not sure why you didn’t see him. He went back to the company after returning from the island to continue his work trip. I wouldn’t have known about this if he hadn’t been late for the meeting yesterday.”

Anna felt conflicted as she listened to Randal’s words. She’d just realized Wayne had been busying for her all these days. She thought, But why has Wayne never come to visit me these days?

Seemingly knowing what Anna was thinking about, Randall said, ” Wayne was going to visit you, unfortunately, he had a high fever on the way. His assistant was worried about him and drove him to the hospital. Turned out he got pneumonia, and he’s been staying at the hospital these days.”

Anna froze as she realized Wayne was the person who had saved her in the river that day.

Randal nodded, “That’s all | have to say about it. As for the matter 380 You Can Have the Kids with Scott and me, I can take care of it myself.”

That night, Randal took Scott away. Jasper told Anna she needed to rest, and then left. So, Peace was the only one who stayed in the bedroom with her. They lay side by side on the bed, staring out of the window at the stars and talking.

Anna knew she couldn’t listen to Randal alone, so she told Peace what he had said to her. Peace didn’t deny it. She said, “Actually, I don’t think you should keep thinking about it because he was the one who got you kidnapped in the first place.”

Anna reminded her, “That’s not true! It has something to do with him, but it isn’t entirely his fault.”

The next morning, Anna went to the hospital to visit Wayne. As soon as she stood at the doorway to the ward, she saw Jennie sitting by the bed. Sitting in bed, Wayne appeared to be out of breath and a little pale. He coughed while signing the papers Gabe had brought.

“Please return it to the board of directors,” He said to Gabe in a husky voice,

Gabe then left the hospital room with the paperwork. On his way out, he noticed Anna standing in the doorway. “Miss Gabriel,” he greeted. Hearing that, both Wayne and Jennie looked at her. Anna smiled as best she could and lifted a bouquet of flowers in her hand to block Wayne’s gaze, “I just learned you were in the hospital. | apologize for showing up so. late.”

Jennie stood up immediately and said, “No, it is not too late. I thought you were still resting at home! Please take a seat and I’ll get you a cup of tea.”

Anna walked through the door and said, “No, thank you. I’ll leave ina 380 You Can Have the kids minute.”

Jennie was at a loss for words and glanced nervously at Wayne.

“Could you please give us some privacy?” Wayne asked Jennie in husky tones.

The atmosphere became awkward after Jennie left. Anna placed the flowers on the table. She stood at the foot of the bed and kept a distance from Wayne. “You saved me,” she finally said after a long pause.

Wayne replied calmly, “Technically speaking, I didn’t. Someone else would have saved you if hadn’t picked you up.”

Anna knew he was telling the truth, but she still felt sad. She thought for a while as to what to say next but couldn’t think of anything to say. Then Wayne said, breaking the ice, “I’ve been thinking about the kids. Tammy grew up with you, and her nominal father is Jasper, so she’s all yours. Matthew is your child, and we forced you to sign that contract. So, you can also take Matthew away.”

Hearing that, Anna froze and looked at Wayne in dismay. He was much thinner and haggard than before. He had been so calm that Anna couldn’t tell how he felt judging by his expression.

“I talked to Grandpa, and he agreed to it. I’ll have someone send Matthew to your house this afternoon.” Wayne added.

Anna clenched her fist and felt as if she couldn’t breathe.
