Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 37

What Ada didn’t expect was that Wayne’s grandfather criticized Wayne after he told Anna to leave, so eventually Anna and Tammy stayed.

“I think it is more likely that Matthew doesn’t need you.” The old man said coldly, giving an angry glance at Wayne. He scolded him bluntly in front of Anna, “What Ms. Gabriel said is true. Look at yourself. Can you say that you’re a good father? How much wine have you drunk? Where were you when Matthew fell down the stairs? Were you lying in your room? How careless you were!”

Having been blaming himself, Wayne felt more and more guilty as his grandfather criticized him. He didn’t insist on Anna’s leaving, frowning restlessly, “She can stay if she wants. Grandpa, you can also stay here if you want. OK?”

“Why am I supposed to do staying here?” The old man snorted coldly, “I’m too old to clean up the mess for you. I still want to live for a few more years.” Then he called his butler and left.

Before he left, he secretly made an OK hand gesture to Tammy, and Tammy blinked really hard to respond to him. My mom and my future dad can stay together this way!

After Wayne’s grandfather left, Anna pulled a chair to the bedside and touched Matthew’s forehead to feel his temperature.

Wayne frowned, “He doesn’t have a fever. Why do you touch his forehead?”

Anna gave him a withering look and said scornfully, “Kids tend to have a high fever when they are sick, especially when the surgery causes infection. A high fever may lead to pneumonia and other complications, which will be a big trouble. Do you know anything about kids at all?”

Wayne sat on the sofa in embarrassment and said in a low voice, “What do you know? Are you a doctor?”

“My mommy was going to become a doctor.” Tammy suddenly walked to Wayne and crawled onto Wayne’s thigh with both her hands and feet and sat there casually.

Wayne had nothing against this little girl. In fact, he liked her quite a lot. He lifted her upwards so that she could sit more steadily, but he only took her words as a kid’s babble. He asked her in disbelief, “Why didn’t she really become a doctor?” Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“Because she had me and didn’t have time to take care of other children.”

Tammy looked cute and naïve, but her explanation made Wayne more certain that Anna probably bragged about herself to her daughter. He immediately found his pride back and snorted, “As far as I know, it takes at least seven years to finish the medical courses and residency training to become a real doctor. It’s not that easy for everyone.” I‘ve known in the

interview three months ago that Anna fabricated her academic credentials. She didn‘t even go to college. What doctor can she be? Maybe she learned some nursing knowledge in the high school and then beguiled her daughter.

Out of Wayne’s expectation, Anna’s eyes darkened a little and didn’t retort upon him. She looked a little dispirited.

His heart suddenly pounded and found it boring to make fun of her. The sarcastic jokes he prepared to say were all left unsaid.

Anna sat by Matthew’s side for the whole night. She would put the blanket back on him whenever he kicked it away. She felt more and more sleepy and couldn’t open her eyes. Finally, she fell asleep and put her face on the bed.

When the sunlight came through the window in the morning, she woke up with a sore back. The scene she first saw gave her an inexplicably mixed feeling.

Tammy was sitting on Wayne’s laps with her two little hands holding a Nintendo switch. She seemed to get stuck in a certain level and looked up at Wayne for help, “Uncle Wright, I can’t pass this level. How can I do it?”

Wayne took the switch and put his arms around her. Then he showed her how to play the game, “Here. This way. You have to be fast at this part.”

After playing for a long time, Wayne finally realized that Anna was looking at them, the gentle smile disappearing on his face, “You’re up?”.

Anna punched her waist and complained, “I’m too sleepy. I have to go back to work on that anniversary project.”

“I can give you a day off if you’re too tired.”

After playing games with Tammy for the whole morning, Wayne was in a good mood, his anger swept away.

“It’s alright.” Anna curled her lips, “Some people thought that I have some secret plan even when I did nothing. If I dare to take a day off without a reason, others may really think that I’m a social climber. By the way, Mr. Wright, I have to make it clear that I come here only because of work and the friendship between Tam and Matthew. Please don’t think that you’re so attractive that everyone wants to seduce you.”

Wayne’s good spirit was immediately ruined. He looked at Anna with a frown, and his gratitude to her completely disappeared.

Seeing that there was going to be another fight between the two adults, Tammy quickly said, “Mommy, you can go home now. I can stay here with Matthew.”

Anna frowned, “Aren’t you going with me?”

“Why should I go?” Tammy sat on Wayne’s legs casually as if she was sitting on a chair and not even raised her head. “Aren’t you going to cook some food for Matthew and bring it here at noon? I’ll be too tired going home and then coming back. It’s Sunday anyway.”

Why does she still remember about the food? Anna fell into an awkward silence because she was afraid that Wayne would think she was fawning over him for some reasons.

Wayne said calmly, “I’m not going to the company today. I’ve put off all my work. Tammy can stay in the hospital. I’ll take care of her. It’ll be alright. Go where you’re needed.”

hat?” Anna was a bit surprised. Is he really going to take care of my child?

“Which means you need to bring lunch. For the three of us.”

Wayne’s words took a load off her mind. Sure, this is the real Wayne Wright, who won‘t accept to lose anything. Taking care of Tammy for a free cook. What a great deal.

In order to help Anna with the project, Peace Brooks made an appointment for her with a friend in advertising who specialized in event planning. Anna was in a hurry, so she didn’t say more and left Tammy in the hospital. She talked with that friend for a whole morning, yawning and drinking several cups of coffee.

At noon, she went to the supermarket and bought some vegetables and meat. She made a delicious meal and put all the food in a four-layer lunchbox and took it to the hospital.

Matthew had woken up. His one arm was put in a cast, and the dislocated joints of the other one was just replaced and didn’t seem to be flexible. He looked at the food pathetically.

“Let me feed you.” Wayne put a spoonful of soup in front of him.

However, the little boy wouldn’t eat it and turned away his head, only looking at Anna. Just as grandfather said, Matthew wouldn’t need him after he woke up.

“Let me do it.” Anna reached out her hands to Wayne and let him give her the bowl and the spoon.

Not surprisingly, Matthew was immediately cheerful when Anna took the spoon and ate a bowl of soup.

A little jealous, Wayne said seriously, “Matthew, you need to be clear that I’m your father.”

Matthew looked at him and suddenly stretched out his foot to kick on his thigh. His face was twisted, clouded with anger.

“What are you doing?” Wayne was irritated by Matthew’s behavior though the kick wasn’t painful.

“You’re scaring him.” Anna frowned and reminded Wayne. Matthew soon took back his feet and leaned on Anna.
