Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 225

“Fortunately, she isn’t seriously hurt,” Gabe instantly explained after observing Wayne’s annoyed expression.

“She shouldn’t bite off more than she can chew,” Wayne grumbled as he remarked on Anna’s actions.

He stood up after closing the folder. “Which hospital is she in?” he said as he put on his jacket.

“Huh?” Gabe then was puzzled. He felt regretful right away and wished he could go back in time and beat himself up.

I shouldn’t have been a blabbermouth! I’m so screwed, he thought to himself.

“I was just asking which hospital she is in.” Wayne glanced at Gabe, then impatiently repeated his question.

Gabe stammered for a few seconds, and then replied, “She’s…well; she’s not in any hospital.”

“What? So, where has she gone?”

“Well, Jasper took her away.” Hearing that, Wayne looked even more irritated.

When Gabe saw Wayne’s sullen expression, he felt terrified. He then asked, “Mr. Wright, are we still going out?”

“Of course,” Wayne said, his fists clenching.

Gabe asked, puzzled, “Oh? Really? Well, where should we go? You know, Miss Gabriel isn’t staying in a hospital. Is it okay if we go to Jasper’s house? In fact, I don’t believe we should. How about you give her a call in advance?”

“What are you talking about? Do you mean there’s nothing more I can do but search for her?” Wayne asked in a frigid tone. He gave Gabe a threatening look.

Gabe laughed awkwardly and explained, “Oh! No, that’s not what I meant! All the ladies in town know you’re an attractive man, Mr. Wright. So, where are we going?”

“I’ll just go there by myself. You don’t need to follow me.” Wayne said sullenly and left.

Jasper took Anna and Tammy to a famous fancy French restaurant downtown. The wonderful tune of the Blue Danube filled the lobby, creating a romantic atmosphere.

Before leaving the house, Anna took off the bandage on her head and applied a Band–Aid to the wound. Then, she covered it with her hair.

“Hey, I already said you didn’t have to buy her expensive presents! She has a lot of toys.” Anna said.

At that moment, Tammy was unwrapping the gift.

Jasper smiled, reached out and pinched Tammy’s cheeks. He said, “Oh, Anna, it’s not about the money. Tammy is my little princess, so I must be nice to her. Otherwise, she’ll think that I don’t want her.”

Tammy grimaced and said outright, “You can’t blame me for that! I only see you a few times a year, Daddy. If you keep doing this, I’m going to have to ask my mommy to find another boyfriend.”

“Hey! What an ungrateful little girl you are!” Jasper pretended to be enraged and locked his gaze on her.

“Ah, it’s Elsa! I’ve always wanted this!” Tammy jumped up and down with joy as she hugged the doll. She was so delighted that she didn’t appear to notice what Jasper had just said.

Anna rolled her eyes at her and then returned her gaze to Jasper, saying, “In fact, she doesn’t even care about it. She even used my photo to sign up for an online dating service when we first returned to Birmingham. She didn’t even know a few words back then, you know. But I was taken aback by the fact that she knew how to use the website.”

Jasper frowned as he asked, “What? Blind dates? Anna, do you really need a blind date?”

“No! Of course, I don’t need one!” Anna gave a firm response.

However, Jasper had mixed feelings. What he meant by “don’t need” and what Anna said were two very different things. However, he felt it would take a lot of effort to let Anna realize that he liked her.

While they were eating, they talked about what happened when they were in the United States. They both laughed as they thought of how awkward it was when they first

met.

Anna later realized she hadn’t laughed like that for a long time.

Meanwhile, they didn’t notice that Wayne and Charlotte were also eating at that restaurant at that time. There was a hall and a piano between them, so neither of them saw each other.

Charlotte was dressed elegantly. After taking her seat, she hesitated for a long time before asking, “How’s Matthew doing?”

“He’s fine,” Wayne replied. He didn’t seem to want to talk to her at all. Both of them were silent.

Wayne then seemed to notice that he was making things awkward between them. He then said, “Matthew stayed at my grandfather’s house after he got out of the hospital. There

are nannies and maids to take care of him, so it’s going pretty well.”

Matthew was, in fact, doing exceptionally well. The last time Wayne saw him, he even said a few simple words.

But he only said just a few words.

Wayne had vivid memories of the incident. One day, Tammy walked up to Wayne as she held Matthew’s hand and then said, as if expecting him to praise her, “Mr. Wright, I’m going

to give you a surprise. So, you have time to think about what reward you’ll give me now.”

Then, Wayne realized that Matthew could talk, and he was extremely excited about this. Although it had been some time since that happened, he could still remember every detail clearly.

“Oh, Matthew is adorable, and I like him. But, he appears to like Anna more.”

Hearing Anna’s name, Wayne snapped back and frowned.

If Matthew didn’t like her, I wouldn’t have dated her in the first place. Wayne thought to himself.

“Actually, Wayne, there’s something I’d like to tell you. I’ve wanted to talk to you about this a long time ago, but I’ve been afraid to. Now, I feel like I have to tell you that.”

Charlotte’s voice was hoarse, as if it had taken her a long time to finally have the guts to say it. However, she still didn’t dare look into Wayne’s eyes.

“What are you going to say?” Wayne asked as he looked at her. He finally understood why Charlotte had invited him to lunch at that moment.

After leaving the office, Wayne was irritated to the point of rage. As a result, he wanted to meet Karl and talk to him about it. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Charlotte, on the other hand, called him as he was getting into his car. She explained that she needed to speak with him about something important and that she wanted to have

lunch with him.

Charlotte paused for a moment before saying, “Actually, I did have something to do with that fire in the hotel. I didn’t mean to do it. But, …”

She was completely oblivious to the fact that Wayne wasn’t even paying attention to her.

Wayne shifted his gaze from the pianist taking a bow in the middle of the hall to the dining table across the room.

They look like a happy family, he thought.

He hadn’t seen Anna in a long time. He did notice, though, that Anna never seemed to laugh like that in front of him. She laughed heartily at Jasper, looking extremely relaxed and

cheerful.

“Wayne, I…”

“I know the actual cause of the fire, Charlotte. Just drop it, okay?”

Wayne interrupted Charlotte before she could finish her sentence. Charlotte saw someone obstructing the light in front of her and suddenly disappearing at that moment.

“Wayne, where are you going?” she asked, looking up in amazement toward the distant.

Wayne strode across the stage in the middle of the hall, and even pushed aside a waiter who was in his way. He looked extremely upset and walked straight to a table on the opposite side of the room.

Charlotte felt like she was simply his sidekick when she saw the way he walked.

“What are you doing here?” Wayne asked Anna.

When Anna heard the familiar voice, she stopped laughing. As soon as she looked up, she saw that Wayne was questioning her with justification. Moreover, he seemed to be trying not to get angry.
