Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 52

By the time they got there, Wayne and Matthew, who seemed to be there for a long time, nau already collected a large basket of leaves.

The father and son were sitting on the picnic blanket and talking about Matthew‘s painting

When Matthew saw Tammy, his eyes brightened. He stood up at once and looked around. However, he didn‘t see the person that he had expected to see for a long time. Then he frowned, turned to look at Wayne, and tugged at Wayne‘s sleeve.

“She‘s busy and won‘t come. I told you this morning before we went out,” Wayne caressed Matthew‘s head and said patiently.

I‘ve told him that Anna wouldn‘t come when we went out in the morning. Did he think that I was lying to him? Wayne thought.

Hearing that, Matthew pouted with a gloomy expression.

Peace walked towards them hand in hand with Tammy and then greeted Wayne and Matthew, “Hi, Mr. Wright. Hi, Matthew. Wow, the weather is so good today. It‘s a pity that Anna can‘t come here.”

“Does she have anything urgent to do today?” Wayne asked casually while picking up the leaves messed up by Matthew.

“Mommy went to a wedding,” Tammy said, tilting her head and blinking at Wayne. “She went to her ex– boyfriend‘s wedding!”

Wayne was a little stunned and looked up at Peace for confirmation.

“How did you know that? You eavesdropped on my conversation with your mother before?” Peace pinched Tammy‘s cheek gently, pretending to be angry.

Tammy screamed and threw herself into Wayne‘s arms. “Help! Uncle Wayne, help!”

Holding her in her arms, Wayne looked absentmindedly. Then he asked, “Did she go there alone?”

“Of course,” Peace sighed and said. “Anna has always been good–tempered. She didn‘t intend to go to the party, but his ex–boyfriend‘s fiancee was so annoying that she called Anna every day. Anna had no choice but to go to the party. I‘m afraid that Anna will be bullied at the party and come back crying.”

“Come back crying? Will she cry?” Wayne asked.

It was hard for her to imagine that Anna would cry. In his impression, Anna was smart and brave. And she had an aura of authority when she worked in the company. Anyway, Wayne didn‘t believe that Anna would let herself be bullied by others.

“Yes,” Peace said and sighed again. “You may noi know what Anna was like before. She used to be weak. Back then, she was cheated on by her ex–boyfriend and later she went abroad. Living abroad alone, she had to be brave and independent so gradually she became what she is now.”

Wayne didn‘t know when Peace and Anna had known each other so he didn‘t find anything wrong with Peace‘s words that were full of loopholes. At the same time, he suddenly felt a little worried about Anna.

“Uncle Wayne, I heard that people would bring their companions with them when they want

Wayne‘s arms.

At the same time, Matthew quickly raised his small drawing board, pulled Wayne‘s sleeve, and showed him the words on it.

If you don‘t help Auntie Anna, I won‘t let you be my father anymore.

Wayne was amused by them. He smiled helplessly and said, “What do you want me to do? She didn‘t ask me to be her male companion. And I may not be helpful even if I go there.”

“Anna always deals with everything without asking for help. She is afraid that if she asks others for help, she will bring trouble to others,” Peace explained. “She will be grateful to you if you can go to the party to accompany her. Here‘s the thing. Anna‘s ex–boyfriend dated her best friend Lilian behind her back but Lilian actually had the nerve to invite Anna to their engagement party. Anna didn‘t want to go to the party but Lilian texted her to satirize her. Lilian has gone too far. And if Anna didn‘t go to the party, she might speak ill of Anna in front of others.”

When Wayne heard this, his expression changed. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Peace and said, “Peace, please help me send Matthew home. Where is Anna now?”

Seeing that Wayne was so decisive, Peace was happy and then said, “I‘ll text you the address. Don‘t worry. I promise I will take good care of the two kids.”

Wayné told Matthew to be obedient and then drove away. The tree farm was still a little far from the center of Birmingham. On the way to the city, Wayne received a call from Ada.

“Wayne, the wedding dress designer will come at seven o‘clock tonight. Don‘t forget it,” Ada said.

Wayne took a look at the time, pressed his wireless earphone with one hand, and said in a deep voice, “I have something urgent to deal with now. Let‘s reschedule it to another day.”

“What‘s the matter?” Ada asked.

“I‘m driving. Let‘s talk about it later.” Before Ada could speak anything more, Wayne hung up the phone.

On the other end of the line, Ada looked at the screen of her phone with her face darkened, and the joy on her face faded away

Ada frowned tightly and suddenly stood up and said, “Tell the director of the program that! have something else to do now and have to go.”

“What? Ada, where are you going?” the agent asked in astonishment.
