As soon as he finished his words, Tammy cheered, “Great! We can stay here tonight‘s
“Matthew, let‘s go to the entertainment room!” she said as she ran upstairs with Matthew happily.
“Tammy…” It was too late for Anna to stop her.
Ann then turned to look at Wayne and said, “Thank you, Mr. Wright. But we have to go now. And I‘m sorry that we bothered you today.”
“It‘s no bother,” Wayne said gently, standing in front of the cabinet where many antiques were displayed and taking out a jade in an unhurried way.
“I‘m not busy these days. Didn‘t you say that I should spend more time with Matthew? I‘ll spend more time with him and help you take care of Tammy these days.”
“No, thanks. Mr. Wright…” Anna still wanted to say something but was interrupted by Wayne.
“I never go back on my words,” Wayne turned around and said. “Since I have promised you that I will take care of Tammy, I will keep my word.”
“I was drunk that day. Please don‘t take my words seriously. Besides, it‘s not appropriate for Tammy and me to stay here,” Anna explained with a guilty conscience.
She suddenly felt a little annoyed and regretted drinking so much at the party
“Didn‘t you tell me not to take what happened that night seriously?” Wayne asked. “Then why have you been avoiding me since that night? You and Tammy always come and spend your weekends here before, don‘t you? Why do you look so guilty?”
Anna‘s heart jolted and she was speechless. “… I‘m not guilty.”
With a frown, she said frankly, “You are going to get married soon. It will cause misunderstanding if I stay here. Your fiancee will misunderstand our relationship.”
In fact, the main reason why she had asked him not to mind the one–night stand was that Wayne was about to get married to Ada. She didn‘t want to destroy the relationship between Wayne and Ada and didn‘t want to offend Ada.
“Just because of this?” Wayne asked carelessly.
“Isn‘t that enough?” Seeing his careless look, Anna was confused. Then she repeated what she had said just now again, “It‘s indeed inappropriate for Tammy and me to stay here.”
After thinking for a moment, Wayne walked closer to her with a meaningful smile and said in a low voice, “But that is not a misunderstanding, is it?”
He stressed the word “misunderstanding” deliberately to remind her of what had happened between them.
Anna froze and couldn‘t say a word for a long time. After a while, she stammered, “I… I‘m going to see Tammy.”
Seeing her run upstairs in fluster, Wayne stroked the jade leisurely, with his serious expression slowly turning into a teasing smile.
Don‘t take the one–night stand seriously? It seems that you care more about it than me, thought.

At Seriel International Airport.
“I‘ve arrived here and I‘m at the baggage reclaim now. Achoo!” Peace sent a voice message and sneezed. She sniffed and continued, “Let‘s talk later. I‘ll get my suitcase first.”
On the carousel, her red suitcase was getting closer and closer to her.
When Peace put away her mobile phone and was about to get her suitcase, someone easily got the suitcase down the carousel for her.
“You‘re welcome.” Before Peace could say thank you, she heard a familiar and annoying voice.
Peace swallowed back the words on the tip of her tongue and took a deep breath. Then she raised her head, squinted at the man in front of her, and said bluntly, “Did I ask you for help? Why are you always following me?”
Karl seemed to have been used to her bad attitude. He said calmly, “It‘s raining outside. Is anyone coming to pick you up? If not, I can give you a lift.”
“No, thanks,” Peace said as she glanced at him. Then she turned around and left with her suitcase.
Karl then followed her and said, “Miss Brooks, I think there‘s a misunderstanding between us and we need to have a talk. Do you know how much trouble I have suffered because of the matter at the airport before?”
Peace ignored him and walked towards the parking lot with her suitcase while talking on the phone.
“Hey, did you hear me?” Karl walked up to her, blocked her way, and showed her the screen of his phone, “Look at this.”
“You are so annoying!” Peace said angrily. With one sweep of her hand, both of their phones dropped to the ground at the same time.
“I‘m not interested in everything about you at all. Whether what happened before is a misunderstanding or not, we can‘t turn the clock back. I don‘t want to argue with you. And now, get out of my way”
After saying that, she picked up the phone, waved to the person who came to pick her up, and walked away quickly.
Looking at her receding figure, Karl frowned speechlessly.
is she so irrational?
Depressed, he picked up the phone on the ground. Then he used his fingerprint to unlock the screen but failed.
“What is this?” Karl stared at a huge green cactus on the lock screen and his face changed.
The phone in his hand was not his at all.
Peace was checking in at the front desk of the hotel when “her phone” vibrated in her pocket.
Without seeing the caller ID, she answered the phone directly.
“You finally answered my phone!” A sharp female voice came from the other end of the line immediately
Startled, Peace quickly took the phone away from her ear.
“This is the final warning. If you don‘t marry me, I‘ll not only sue you but also post the video on the Internet. I‘ll let everyone know that you‘re a shameless r****t. By that time, your reputation will be ruined and even if you plead for mercy, I won‘t forgive you!”
“Who are you? You called the wrong person,” Peace frowned and said. “Who am I? Don‘t you know who I am? Who are you? Where‘s Karl? Put him on the phone!” Karl? Peace was confused and took a look at the caller ID with a frown. Alice? Who‘s Alice?
Peace‘s face suddenly changed and she suddenly remembered that half an hour ago in the parking lot, her phone and Karl‘s phone fell to the ground at the same time.
Oh no. I picked up the wrong phone!
