Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 179

Randal was a smart and sophisticated guy. He was an expert at finding people‘s weak spots and saying something ironic about them. Also, he was good at pretending that he didn‘t mean it

He and Anna were just being sarcastic with each other. He just implied that her relationship with Wayne wasn‘t solid. The problem between them was not Charlotte, but themselves. Also, he said they broke up because they weren‘t that in love with each other in the first place.

However, Anna was also not shy. She rolled her eyes at him as he talked, and then mocked him for falling in love with a straight guy. She also said that he was naive to think he could turn a heterosexual man into a gay.

In short, neither of them was willing to admit defeat in comparing who could be more sarcastic

Then, Wayne appeared on the scene. Not long after, Ms. Wilson stopped him and talked to him.

And that brought Anna and Randal a new topic.

“Anna, are you feeling embarrassed? Look, the man you love is so close to his ex–fiancée and gets along so well with her family.”

Anna glanced at Randal and said, “Well, you can stop talking now. If I‘d known you were Charlotte‘s brother, then I wouldn‘t have even talked to you back in Liverpool.”

Everyone in the Wilson family is a jerk! Anna thought to herself.

Randall raised his eyebrows and seemed not to mind her words. He then said in a teasing way, “Hey, Anna, I can help you get back in the game if you want.”

“Oh? Really? How would you do that?”

Before Randal could answer her, he saw Wayne saying goodbye to his mother and walking toward them.

“What are you doing here?” Wayne asked. He was standing in front of Anna and looked at her imposingly

Anna said irritably, “What am I doing here? Hey, Wayne, this has nothing to do with you at all! Don‘t forget that I‘m not working at your hotel anymore!”

“Oh? But, you were suspended, not fired.” Wayne corrected her grimly.

“It doesn‘t make any difference. I‘ll resign when my suspension is over!”

When Wayne was about to continue arguing with her, he saw Randal watching them. Wayne had no choice but to control his anger. He then tugged on Anna‘s arm and said, “Okay, just come with me.”

When Randal saw that they were leaving, he said, “Wayne! Hey, she‘s someone else‘s girlfriend, not yours. Where are you taking her?”

Anna blushed in shock and stared at Randal as she was amazed. To her surprise, he looked as calm as if nothing had happened.

Anna thought. Damn, you‘re such a cunning man, Randal!

“Randal, I can pretend I didn‘t hear you if you were just joking.” Wayne stared at Randal hostilely and said.

“Wow! Hey, Wayne, relax. I didn‘t say she was my girlfriend. Scott just told me that they were in a romantic relationship ” Randal explained calmly.

Anna couldn‘t help but shiver. She thought that Randal was really shrewd. He didn‘t want to get himself into trouble, so he let others take the blame.

As he expected, Wayne became gloomy and upset Ignoring the fact that people around him were looking at him, he dragged Anna away and into the lounge.

He let go of his hand as soon as he closed the door and then slammed her onto the couch

Anna felt painful as her back hit the couch. She gasped and then lifted her head. And then, she realized that her neat hair was messed up

Anna said as she felt upset. “Hey! what are you doing?!”

“You told me that Scott was just your brother.” Wayne propped his hands on the armrests on the couch and confined Anna in his arms. He stared down at her from above condescendingly, which made her panic.

Anna swallowed hard and defended herself by saying, “Well, that‘s because he really is my brother. Oh, never mind. Even if he‘s not, it‘s none of your business. Don‘t forget that we‘ve broken

up. Wayne.”

“I didn‘t say yes to that,” Wayne said in an assertive way, and he didn‘t seem to allow Anna to refuse

He leaned down and blocked the sunlight that was supposed to fall on Anna’s face. At that moment, Anna smelled the scent of a lady’s perfume on Wayne. She immediately thought of Charlotte’s coquettish expression and then turned somber.

She pressed her slim hand hard against his chest. Then, she became annoyed and said, “Hey, get away from me! I don’t like the way you smell!”

Wayne knew what she was thinking the moment he saw her disgusted expression. But, he didn‘t explain anything. He just sat next to her and regained his composure.

“Then, what about Randal? How did you two meet?” He asked. “We met on a plane when I travelled,” Anna said perfunctorily.

Anger overwhelmed Wayne. He said, “I know him very well. He won‘t get close to someone if he doesn‘t want anything from them. So, stay away from him, Anna.”

Anna felt a growing sense of anger. She questioned, “Oh? Then why are you so close to Charlotte? Doesn’t she have any other intentions? Sure, she saved Matthew’s life. But, do you think that the reason why she put herself on the line is that she loves you very much?”

Wayne frowned and said, “I‘m looking into that accident now, Anna. I know it‘s not as simple as it seems.” NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Anna looked at him indifferently and said, “Well, I know you’re digging into that. I also know that if you want to find out the truth, you can do it. But, when you knew what happened that day, the first thing you did was suspect me. Am I right?”

I know Wayne is smart and can always find out the truth. So, he will definitely have someone investigate the fire. Also, he‘s not a fool. If I think Charlotte is suspicious, then he must think so too. So, I‘m sure that he would find out the truth. Anna thought to herself.

But, what she didn‘t expect was that the first thing Wayne did was blame her. His reaction made her devastated. And the way he handled that matter made their relationship awkward.

“What will you do after you know the truth, Wayne? You know it‘s no accident that Charlotte showed up at the kitchen, right? So, what are you going to do about it? You‘ll let her take responsibility for this?”

Anna lowered her head, and then got up and smoothed her gown. She took a deep breath, straightened up her back, and looked back, saying, “No, I know that you won‘t. You wouldn‘t blame her for the sake of her mother.”

Randa/ told me that they were as close as mother and son. So I knew that no matter what Charlotte had done, Wayne would forgive her. Anna thought.

Wayne treated Charlotte with his heart and Anna with his brain. Anna knew that this was the difference between her and Charlotte to Wayne.

Wayne sat up straight and looked up at Anna. He said, “Oh, actually, there‘s nothing between Charlotte and me. So, don‘t get mad at me because of her. I know, I shouldn‘t have doubted you, I‘m sorry. But still, I want to ask you something.”

“What?” “If Matthew and Tammy were in danger at the same time, who would you save?”

Anna immediately asked the question back, “You can ask yourself that question. So, who exactly would you save?”

“Matthew,” Wayne answered immediately without even thinking

Anna had expected that Wayne would say that. However, when she actually heard his answer, she still felt upset. She felt a chill down her spines as if she was trapped in an ice cave.

“I think that‘s a cruel question. Believe it or not, I hesitated because I really think of Matthew as my son. That‘s why I don‘t know who I‘ll save first.”

Anna looked at Wayne grimly and said, “But you and I are different. You see, you made a very quick decision. So, it seems that you have never considered Tammy as your own daughter.”

She didn‘t want to take it out on Wayne or express her resentment when she said this. She was clear that she had restrained herself from telling the truth for a long time.

Anna thought to herself, what if I tell Wayne that both children are his now? Would he regret asking such a dumb question?

She knew that Wayne would probably be speechless and even regretful if this happened. But Anna also knew that she couldn‘t risk telling him about it. At least, she knew she couldn‘t say it now, nor could she take those consequences.

“Wayne, whether I‘m dating Scott or Randal, it has nothing to do with you. Like I said, we‘ve broken up no
