When Anna finished her shower and came out of the bathroom, Tammy had been asleep.
Seeing Tammy lying in the middle of the bed with her arms and leg stretched, Anna shook her head helplessly and moved Tammy aside.
“Tammy, do you want me to sleep on the ground?”
Tammy turned over and was still in deep sleep. Suddenly she began to mumble in a sweet voice.
“Daddy…”
Hearing that, Anna, who was tucking Tammy in, paused and tightened her grip on the quilt subconsciously.
It seems that Tammy wants a father so much. No wonder she always tries to bring Wayne and me together. She must hope that she can have a complete family like other children, Anna thought with mixed feelings.
But Wayne… and I? She imagined the scene in which the two of them were together. The next moment, she shook her head violently.
No, no, no. How is it possible that we are together? But she couldn‘t stop imagining and countless scenes flooded into her mind. Anna was very sleepy but she couldn‘t fall asleep and her mouth felt completely dry.
After tossing and turning in the bed for a long time, she got out of bed and went out to get some water.
The lights in the house had been turned off. For fear of waking up the others, Anna groped her way to the living room. When she came to the table, she poured a glass of water for herself and then picked up a few small packets of cookies from the table.
The dinner was hearty, but she felt uneasy and had no appetite when having dinner so she didn‘t have much food. At this moment, she was very hungry.
When she turned around and was about to go back to her room, she saw a black figure in front of her
“Oh my God!” Anna screamed and fell back on the chair. Half of the water in the glass spilled.
“It‘s me.” In the darkness, Wayne said and then turned on the light.
“You scared me,” Anna said as she patted her chest and gasped for breath. She stared at Wayne and said angrily, “What are you doing here?”
Wayne didn‘t answer her but just looked at her with a faint smile.
Anna then realized that she was at his house and it was inappropriate for her to talk to him with such a rude attitude.
What was more embarrassed was that she was holding a few packets of cookies in her arms, looking like a thief. And a few packets of cookies fell, rolled on the ground, and finally stopped at Wayne‘s feet
“Well…” Anna tried to find an excuse. “I‘m afraid that Tammy will be hungry in the middle of the night, so I came to get some cookies for her. I hope you don‘t mind.”
Wayne gazed at her with a meaningful look, without saying anything.
Why is she asking for my permission on such a trifle? Am I that stingy in her eyes? He thought.
Anna couldn‘t help clearing her throat and said, “I‘m going back to my room now.” After she took a few steps, Wayne‘s voice came from behind. “I‘m hungry, too,” he said in a low voice.
Anna was stunned and wondered if she had misheard. She turned to look at him and asked, “Pardon?”
“I‘m here to get some food. Is there anything to eat?” Wayne asked.
Anna then was sure that she hadn‘t misheard. At the same time, she was still a little surprised and confused.
Did he also come here for food? He‘s hungry? I remember that he ate a lot at dinner.
Though she was confused, she didn‘t speak what she thought. Besides, she breathed a sigh of relief because what Wayne had said eased the embarrassment.
“Yes. Do you want to eat spaghetti? There should be food ingredients in the fridge,” she said. Since both of them were hungry, she decided to cook some food so that they could fill their stomachs.
Wayne nodded, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
Anna then put down the biscuits, rolled up her sleeves, and went into the kitchen to cook spaghetti
Amaid, who heard the noise in the kitchen, came from her room, Wayne turned his head and gave her a warning look. Seeing this, the maid immediately covered her ears and went back to her room,
The spaghetti that Anna cooked was not inferior to the dishes at the main meal.
On the table were six beautiful plates on which there were traditional meatloaf,ired chicken shepherd‘s pie, mac ‘n‘ cheese, roasted tacos, and tuna salad,
Anna filled a large plate with spaghetti for Wayne, added the sauce and the side dishes into it, and said, “Stil the spaghetti, and then you can eat it. It‘s very delicious.”
Alter saying that, she couldn‘t wait to fill another plate of spaghetti for herseli Holding the warm plate with his hands, Wayne gazed affectionately at her,
Generally speaking, those from rich families would always ask the maids and the cools to prepare food for them, and they just needed to wait to eat ready–cooked meals,
And Wayne had also lived like this since he was a child, He seldom saw his family cool and rarely ate the food cooked by his family,
At this moment, seeing Anna prepare food for him, he was touched and was reminded of both the happy and unpleasant memories of his childhood,
After eating a few mouthfuls of spaghetti, Anna felt very satisfied, From the corner of her eyes, she saw that Wayne still didn‘t stir the spaghetti,
“Why don‘t you eat it?” she asked in confusion. After thinking for a moment, she asked in a low voice, “You don‘t like it?”
“No, I like it.” Wayne answered, “Then go head and eat it before it gets cold.”
Then Anna said with an awkward smile, “You don‘t know how to stir them in the right way? Let me help you stir it, will you?” As she spoke, she reached her hand to Wayne‘s plate
“No, thanks,” Wayne said as he picked up the fork and began to stir the spaghetti by himself.
“I was not laughing at you” Anna, who thought that she was quite impolite just now, tried to explain. “In the past, when I lived at home, I never cooked or did housework. My stepmother and my sister were also like this because the maids would do anything for us.”
It was the first time that she had talked about her family with Wayne so Wayne was a little surprised
“Did your stepmother treat you well?” he asked gently “What do you think?” Anna asked helplessly and gave him a meaningful look
Il my stepmother treated me well, how could Allie and I be in such a bad relationship? How could Allie slander me and humiliate me at the engagement party of Jacob and Lilian that day?
Wayne frowned and asked, “You don‘t care about their attitudes toward you?”
“I don‘t care.” Anna ate a big mouthful of spaghetti and said, “They are not that important to
Those that treated me well and were important to me have passed away.”
Hearing that, Wayne was slightly stunned, thinking that he had touched her sore spot and
feeling sorry for her. Then he immediately apologized, “I‘m sorry.”
