Chapter 317 – After the One-Night Stand with a Heartless Billionaire

It wasn’t surprising that there were decorations there after Christmas, but what surprised Anna was that there was no one around. When she entered the square, she saw that it was very crowded. However, she discovered that they had all vanished at that moment.

Anna immediately became alarmed and asked, “Wayne, where are you?”

Wayne hung up the phone at that point. Anna then stared at the screen of her phone blankly, not knowing what to do.

With the flashing lights, the skincare advertisements on the large screen across the road disappeared. Then Wayne showed up on the screen.

The square was getting crowded after a little while. Everyone was holding hands and dancing as if celebrating Christmas. As for Anna, she felt dizzy and was at a loss for words.

Then aman dressed in a white suit emerged from behind the Christmas tree. Anna immediately recognized that it was Wayne.

She ran up to him, patted him on the shoulder, smiled as she said, “Did you ask them to do this? You didn’t have to do that! It’s just New Year’s Eve, isn’t it?”

“Yes. But you know, this is the first New Year’s Eve that we’ve spent together. Anna, I hope we can celebrate this day together every year from now on.”

Anna said with delight, “Sure, of course! Or, who else would be there for you?”

Wayne smiled, took Anna’s hand, and said, “Don’t regret it, dear.”’

He then knelt down on one knee in front of everyone. Anna froze and gazed at him, taken aback. Then Wayne took a pale blue rectangular velvet box from his bag and opened it.

Anna saw ten distinct diamond rings inside. They shone like stars in the moonlight.

Anna then asked with excitement, “Wayne, are you proposing?”

Wayne nodded, then added earnestly, “Yes. I made ten rings because I was terrified you might say no because you didn’t like the ring. Take a look. There’s bound to be one ring that you will like.”

Hearing that, Anna burst out laughing, and then tears welled up in her 330 Will You Marry Me? 7 eyes. Meanwhile, she covered her mouth in surprise.

Wayne looked at her tenderly, and then said, “Come on, pick one.”

Anna sniffed and avoided making eye contact with him. “I want them all,” she replied, holding her hand.

Wayne smiled before putting the rings on Anna’s fingers. Soon, each of the fingers of her left hand had rings on.

When Anna said that, she was just kidding him. She didn’t expect that Wayne would actually help her put on all the rings. Then she stepped back and shouted, “What? Are you serious?”

Wayne laughed and said, “Give me another hand.”

Anna then wore rings on all ten of her fingers. She had a strong desire to laugh even though she was moved, and her tears sparkled like diamonds.

Raising both hands, Anna laughed and said, “God, this is really tacky.”

“You know, as soon as you put on my rings, you’re going to be my wife,” Wayne said.

Anna whispered, “Yes, am.”

She felt she and Wayne had a rocky journey to love and that they were fated to be together. Despite her hesitation, Anna had worked it out at last. She would rather spend her life with Wayne than with another man. For her, marrying Wayne was not a multiple-choice question but rather the most obvious solution.

By then, the New Year’s bells were ringing, and the people dancing in the square seemed even happier. Wayne then brought Anna to a fancy restaurant on the top floor next door. They sat at the window and took a look at the entire city. 330 Will You Marry Me? 7

Anna said, “I thought you’d bring the kids. I’ve heard that when, people propose, they want their family and friends to be there for them.”

Wayne laughed, then said calmly, “But all I need is you.”

Wayne wanted Anna to marry him just because she loved him, not because of the children or because her family accepted him or for any other reason or anyone else.

Anna blushed and couldn’t help but covered her face with her hands. She said, “You’re so sweet today, Wayne. What’s going on?”

Wayne had never said so many sweet words before, which surprised Anna and made her want to laugh. At that moment, the waiter brought up their dessert. He looked at Anna in surprise and then said, “Ma’am, sir, here’s your dessert.”

Anna thanked him. After the waiter left, he looked back several times and muttered something to the other servers.

Anna wondered what was going on and then asked, “Wayne, how does my makeup look? Do I look weird? “

Wayne replied, looking intently at her hand on her face, “I don’t think it’s because of your makeup.”

Anna then noticed she had big, gleaming diamond rings on each of her fingers. She instantly reached beneath the tablecloth and asked, “Why didn’t you remind me of that? I had completely forgotten about it.”

“I don’t think that’s necessary. You see, you need to hold your forks.”

In the United States, Peace was bored in her room of the nursing home, which was an Atlantic Ocean away from Anna. It was a lovely sunny day, but she could only lean against the window, tweeting and eating snacks.

There was no big news that day, just posts from a few actors wishing everyone a happy new year. So, she was bored as hell.

Then Karl sent her a picture of a dessert counter and asked, “Do you like this? I’ll buy you some, honey.”

Peace gave his message a quick scan before responding, “Don’t call me honey, I’m not your honey.”

Karl went out that morning to get food and texted images to Peace Wherever he went. He said it was a new style of shopping, so Peace would think she was shopping as well. However, Peace didn’t feel like she was shopping with Karl at the mall and cake store, but rather that he was showing off that he could go out.

Peace was grounded after attempting to climb out the window for a Christmas party a week before. And her doctor stopped her just as she tumbled out the window. Therefore, she was depressed for a week and missed the air outside.

Because the nursing home was a closed facility, Peace was not permitted to leave until she had fully recovered. Peace was so furious that she begged her doctor for a month to let her go out. But the doctor refused her every time she begged him.

Just when Peace decided to do other things to kill time, she saw a 331 Not Your Honey: tweet that said, “Rich Birmingham businessman proposes on shopping street.”

Peace noticed that post since it occurred in her hometown. When she saw the photographs, she became enraged and smashed the chips in her hand, exclaiming, “Damn!”

She yelled so loudly that the patient in the ward beside her could hear her. She looked at that tweet and called Anna as soon as she was sure it was true.

As Anna’s bestie, she couldn’t believe that she knew the news that, Anna was getting married on the Internet. In her mind, as she and Anna were best friends, she believed that Wayne should’ve at least talked to her before proposing to Anna.

With that in mind, Peace called her several times in anger, but she didn’t answer them. Looking at the clock on the wall. Peace realized it was still early morning in England, so Anna definitely wouldn’t answer her calls.

At the thought that Anna might be making out with Wayne in bed at that hour, she felt like she needed to have s*x, too.
