Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 435 Cheers to Wayne and Anna

When everyone heard this, they froze.

Anna smiled as she took the marriage license from her bag, saying, “The day after Wayne was discharged from the hospital, we went to get married. We’re legally a couple now, so you don’t have to be worried about us.”

Everyone then passed around their marriage license. Peace sighed with relief as the last person handed it back to Anna. She exclaimed, “After all these years, you’ve been through a lot. What makes me happy is that you are finally married! We finally don’t have to worry about you guys anymore.”

Karl said with a nod, “Right! My wife will no longer have to keep anything from me for Anna.”

“So we’re not the next couple to marry. And you two might need to speed up,” Anna looked at Ryan and Emily thoughtfully. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“What can I say? | didn’t see it coming at all” Ryan exchanged glances with Emily and said.

Although Anna thought having a marriage license was sufficient and there was no need for Wayne and her to hold a wedding, Peter insisted on throwing them a grand wedding. Furthermore, he said that he would handle everything for Anna and Wayne so that they would have nothing to worry about. All they had to do was attend their wedding.

“Wayne, Anna, you don’t have to worry about anything because Henry will take care of everything,” Peter said. He was very glad about that and appeared to be in good spirits. 434 Cheers to Wayne and Anna

Taking advantage of the situation, Anna said, “Grandpa, how about this? If Wayne and | agree to your proposal, will you consider having the surgery?”

“What?” Peter froze, and his smile disappeared.

Seeing that Peter froze and was even frowning, Anna sighed before saying, “Actually, | spoke with your doctor the other day. Your health has been deteriorating, and you need to have the surgery. Otherwise, the consequence will be… Well, you know what | mean. The point is, Wayne and | would love to have you witness our wedding. Also, Tammy and Matthew would like to see you get well. Could you please say yes to having the surgery for the sake of us?”

Peter gradually became serious. “I can do the surgery,” he said after a brief pause, “but it will have to wait until after you hold the wedding.”

•Anna was about to persuade him once more when Peter interrupted her, “lam aware that all surgeries have risks. Don’t tell me it’s not a big risk because I’m not a fool. | don’t want to die before seeing you and Wayne’s wedding. Anna, you and Wayne have been through so much together over the years, and my heart goes with you. If can be at your wedding, | would be relieved. And after attending your wedding, even if the operation fails, | will be able to rest in peace. If the surgery goes well, that will be the best.”

Hearing his words, everyone was sad, and some of them even cried.

“Okay, Wayne and | will hold the wedding as you want, Grandpa. You have my word,” Anna wiped her tears away, her voice choking with sobs. Wayne hugged Anna tightly and gently patted her back, trying to comfort her. Although he could remember very little of the past, seeing her cry was heartbreaking. And he knew that what Anna needed most at the moment 434 Cheers to Wayne and Anna was a hug.

And everyone fell into silence.

“Why don’t we talk about something else? Like, what gifts do you hope to receive at your wedding, Anna, Wayne?” Peace said cheerfully, breaking the ice.

‘•Well, actually, I haven’t thought about this before since Wayne and I didn’t plan to hold a wedding until Peter persuaded us,” Anna took a sip of the drink before answering Peace. Then she switched her

gaze from Peace to Wayne, seemingly looking for an answer from Wayne

Noticing her gaze, Wayne thought for a while before saying, ‘’Anything is fine, to be honest. Even if you guys attend my wedding empty-handed, it’s alright. It’s the heart that matters most, after all.”

Surprised, Peace continued the topic, “Kudos to Wayne! Now, I’m finally relieved. You’re finally qualified to marry Anna.”

“What do you mean? Do you mean that | once treated Anna badly in the past?” Wayne asked with his brows furrowing in confusion.

“You can put it that way. Now that you two have come this far. III be frank with you. Anna did put up with a lot when being with you, Wayne. Sometimes, you can be very unreasonable and difficult, Wayne. Anna has already suffered a lot before because of you, and I really hope that you can treasure her and be good to her wholeheartedly.”

Raising his eyebrows, Wayne turned his head and looked at Anna in astonishment. Then he asked her in a low voice, “Anna, is what Peace said true? Did you suffer a lot because of me? How come you seldom mentioned that to me before?”

“It’s a long and complicated story, Wayne. And truth to be told, | also put you through a lot in the past, so we’re kind of even now. Let’s not dwell on the past too much, okay? We need to move on and look forward to the 434 Cheers to Wayne and Anna presence and the future.” Sensing that the atmosphere became somewhat awkward, Karl said to lighten everyone’s mood, “Alright, guys. | would like to make a toast to Wayne and Anna. Wayne, Anna, congratulations! We all know how difficult it is for you two to get to this point, and I’m more than glad that you two are finally married,” Lowering his voice, Karl said while coughing slightly, ” Also, | know you guys want to have more kids in the future. Just a kind reminder, Wayne, you’d better be there with Anna all the time when she gets pregnant again. You know how the saying goes, ‘Happy wife, happy life?

Hearing Karl’s words, Anna thought to herself, Kari, you did change a lot. It seems that being a parent does help you grow up in a short period of time. Alas! How time flies! In the blink of an eye, Tammy and Matthew have already become teenagers now. | still remember clearly how it felt like the first time | held Tammy in my arms, and | still remember what it was like the first time | met Matthew as if it just happened yesterday…

“Now, cheers to Wayne and Anna!”

“Cheers!”
