Chapter 316 – After the One-Night Stand with a Heartless Billionaire

A person would have a different perspective on the same thing if they were in a different stance. Anna could appreciate Ryan’s need to prove his mother’s innocence to everyone. But when she put herself in Wayne’s 328 My Mom Is Not A Cheater ol shoes, she knew Jennie had hurt Wayne deeply. As a result, Anna found it difficult to judge who was right or wrong in this matter.

“So, you want Wayne to reconcile with your mother, right?” she asked.

Wes”

Anna said to him without thinking, “But I don’t think it’s possible. I can understand why you thought that way. Maybe you didn’t see the whole picture…”

“My mother would never cheat on her husband,” Ryan abruptly cut Anna off.

Anna went entirely still. When she looked up, she noticed Ryan was staring at her. “I know what you’re talking about. Believe me, there’s no way my mother would have an affair with another man,” he said firmly.

Anna frowned and said, “Ryan, but your mother told me that you two were born to different fathers.”

Anna wanted to say something but remained silent after some hesitation

Meanwhile, Ryan looked preoccupied with this and had long since decided to do it. So, Anna didn’t think she could persuade Ryan, but she was also worried that things might be out of control if Ryan kept pressing on Wayne and Jennie to reconcile with each other.

To get closer to Wayne, Ryan even worked as a private detective and discovered the truth behind previous events, which was why Anna thought it was too risky for him to do so.

Ryan tightened his fist and bitterly asked, “Do you believe my mother cheated on her husband, Anna? But my mother always told me that my father was James Wright.” (328 My Mom Is Not A Cheater —

Hearing that, Anna’s eyes widened in shock. Wayne’s father James Was Peter’s only son. When Wayne was thirteen, James died in an accident.

So, he kicked Jennie out of the house. For the next twenty years, they hadn’t seen each other for once. So, Anna was taken aback when Ryan claimed that his father was also James.

“My mother’s surname is Wright, but I am not. She said that we were no longer a part of their family because we had left the Wrights. My mother was an orphan who was adopted by Peter. I’m called Ryan because James liked this name. He and my mother made an appointment that they would name their second child James if it was a boy. So, I’m pretty sure he’s my father.”

Anna got mixed feelings again. She didn’t know the whole story, and Jennie didn’t appear to want to bring it up again. However, Anna constantly felt that something shocking had occurred twenty years ago.

Then she said, “Let’s assume that you’re telling the truth. So, what caused your mother to leave the Wrights?”

Ryan frowned and replied, “I’m looking into it as well. I’m not sure Who spread the rumor about my mother having affair with another man, but it’s unquestionably wrong!”

Anna wanted to believe Ryan’s words but she knew she had to side with Wayne, After thinking for a while, Anna said, “Ryan, have you ever wondered why your mother has hesitated to tell you the truth? You see, perhaps she left the Wrights for a reason.”

“What?”

“Ryan, I believe what you’re saying. But you need to think about a few questions. Why would your mother take you away from the Wrights, give you a new surname, and never bring you back to Birmingham in all 328 My Mom Is Not A Cheater those years? It’s so simple for her to prove her innocence, so why didn’t she do that?”

She didn’t think that Ryan would lie at this critical moment. Yet, her instincts told her that Jennie was telling the truth as well. She thought about it for a long time, recalling every bit of information she knew.

Finally, Anna made a bold guess. But, because it was so bizarre, she hesitated to say it.

At the same time, Ryan was perplexed and looked at her in confusion.

“Ryan, don’t panic yet, because it’s useless. The most important thing we should do now is to hide this fact from Wayne,” Anna had no idea what to say, so she told Ryan to relax. She believed that the later Wayne discovered the truth, the less severe the situation would become.

Anna then drove Ryan back to school instead of taking him home.

Ryan had to do a lot of paperwork because their group had caught the criminals. After Anna knew the truth, they both felt awkward getting along. And Anna was relieved that Ryan had to return to school because she didn’t know what to say to him.

After that, Anna drove to the kindergarten to pick up the two kids. On the way, Wayne called her and asked, “Anna, where are you?”

“almost there, and I still have one more intersection to go. What’s going on?”

Wayne said gently, “You don’t have to go there, Henry has picked them up. Let’s meet together for supper tonight. Do you have any other plans for tonight?”

Anna froze and then realized it was New Year’s Eve. She asked, “Really? Just a moment, I need to go home and change.”’

“It’s just the two of us tonight,” With a chuckle, Wayne said.

After hearing his pleasant voice, Anna said, “Will you please give me a minute? I still need to get changed.”

“You don’t have to do that, Anna.”

“No, it’s our date! We haven’t gone out on a date in a long time. I want to bring out the best of me.”

The Carousel Group had been in crisis recently, so Wayne was occupied with work. Therefore, Anna felt touched that Wayne had taken the time to go on a date with her. Besides, as there would be just the two of them tonight, Anna felt that she had to wear her best dress to celebrate 329 I Will Always Love You a the occasion

When Anna returned home, she opened her wardrobe and took practically all of her outfits out to try on. Then she even made a video call to Peace and asked her to pick out an outfit for her.

It was still noon in America. Peace sat on the bed and kept shaking her head at Anna, vetoing her choice of clothes.

Peace said, “No, this is too low-key. Christmas is coming, and everyone is still in a festive mood.”

“Yes, it’s a lovely dress. But don’t you forget that it’s winter now! You’ll catch a cold wearing it!”

Anna spent an hour changing her clothing before deciding what she should wear tonight. She wore a long knitted beige dress with a red and white plaid coat and black boots. She believed the outfit was ideal for the New Year’s Eve atmosphere.

After getting herself prepared, Anna went to the city’s busiest central square that was known for its large electronic screen to meet Wayne.

Since the next day was New Year’s Day, Anna could hear cheerful music at every corner she went.

After arriving there, Anna called Wayne to ask him where he was. It was still cold outdoors because it had just snowed a few days before. The weather forecast also predicted it would continue to snow in the next few days.

“I’m at the end of the road,” Wayne said.

The chill made Anna wince. With a smirk, she sniffled and murmured, “Why must we gather outside? You do know it’s much warmer inside the mall, don’t you? Well, just wait for me there.” 329 I Will Always Love You oF

She then walked to the plaza Wayne had mentioned. When she noticed a lovely fireworks video on the large screen, she had just finished walking down the stairs.

Anna said, “I’d never seen it before, but it turns out to be rather beautiful. Can we stay here after dinner for a while? I’d like to see the fireworks.”

“Sure thing.”

“It’s very beautiful here! Too bad that there are no stars in the sky tonight,” As she walked to Wayne, Anna said to him on the phone.

She turned around as she approached the end of the road and asked, “I’ve arrived, Wayne. Where are you?”

Then Anna sneezed. There was a two-story high Christmas tree encircled by colored lights in front of her with various decorations, such as gingerbread men, bells, and gift boxes. All those things made the plaza appear to be quite cheerful and Christmassy.
