Chapter 82 – After the One-Night Stand with a Heartless Billionaire

Matthew was speechless and angry. He lowered his head and quickly wrote more words on the drawing board.

You said that I made you happy. It means that my dad‘s coming is a surprise that made you happy, right?

The smile on Anna’s face froze when she saw the words and she didn‘t how to answer his question.

She had to admit that she was very happy when she saw Wayne and Matthew.

Yesterday afternoon, when she was on the balcony and saw the familiar figure of the man at the cafe, she hoped that that man could be Wayne.

Seeing her lost in thought, Wayne was about to say something when the boat suddenly shook violently.

Anna screamed, suddenly lost her balance, and leaned to one side.

Wayne quickly reached out to grab her arm. But before he could help her sit steadily, the boat shook again and he directly pulled her into her arms.

Then he asked the driver, “What‘s going on?”

Anna‘s face hit Wayne‘s chest, and it hurt a little when her face rubbed his life jacket. Before she could react, she felt dizzy and sick and everything in front of her began to blur.

At this time, the driver‘s voice came from the bow. “Sir, the waves are too high. We can‘t go too far. And it‘s going to rain. Shall we go to the island or go back now?”

Wayne took a look at Anna who had fainted in his arms, and his face was more darkened.

When they got onto the boat, he felt that something was wrong with Anna. But when he asked her, she said that she was all right. At the thought that she was seasick but still bit the bullet and came with them, he had mixed feelings.

Thinking about the current situation, Wayne said to the driver, “Go back to the dock.” Then he took a look at Matthew and asked, “Matthew, remain seated and hold the handrail.”

Matthew nodded seriously.

Wayne then held Matthew‘s hand with one hand and held Anna tightly in his arms with the other.

Soon, it began to rain heavily and they all got soaked. Frowning, Wayne suddenly heard a whimper from Anna. “Grandpa, please don‘t go… Don‘t leave me alone.

“No, I don‘t want to go there…”

Anna‘s whimper came from time to time. Holding her tightly in his arms, Wayne felt sorry for her.

Anna‘s life experience was different from that of him.

When his father passed away, he was thirteen years old. Although his mother had left him, his grandfather brought him up and they were in a good relationship,

As for Anna, she lost her mother not long after she was born. Later, her father remarried and had a new family. And Anna had to live with her grandfather when she was young

After her grandfather, who loved her dearly passed away, her father took her back to the Gabriel family. However, she was in an embarrassing position in the family. As a member of her family, she was like an outsider.

Karl, Wayne‘s only friend since he was a child, had ever said that Wayne was stubborn.

Wayne always thought that it was the environment that he grew up in made him stubborn.

In his opinion, Anna should have been more stubborn than him because she grew up in a worse environment. But she was not.

Instead, she lived a free and unconventional life. She could abandon her identity as the daughter of the Gabriel family without hesitation and stand on her own feet by working as a manager in the hotel.

Wayne had thought that he knew Anna well. In his eyes, she was a woman who was smart and capable at work but couldn‘t take good care of herself in life.

But after getting along with her for so long, he felt that he didn‘t know her well enough. The rain was getting heavier and heavier.

With a frown, Wayne looked at the sea and the heavy mist and asked, “How long will it take to go back to the dock?”

“We‘re almost there. Don‘t worry. The rain usually lasts only five to ten minutes,” the driver said as he took a sudden turn and drove the boat as fast as he could.

Half an hour later, Wayne had been back to the hotel with Anna and Matthew but it was still raining heavily outside.

Meteorological authorities issued a temporary rainstorm alert. And the boats on the sea were urgently evacuated while some of them capsized in the sea. The local government had dispatched the rescue team to rescue the people in danger.

Several staff members from Enlight Media, including the director of the variety show were waiting for Scott‘s news in the hotel hall. They were all stunned when they saw Wayne come back with Anna.

“Mr. Wright, this is…”

“Get a doctor,” Wayne said briefly and then went upstairs with Anna in his arms under the gazes of the others who stood there dumbfounded.

“She‘s seasick. Now that she has left the boat, she doesn‘t need to take medicine for seasickness. But she got wet in the rain and has a fever now. Don‘t worry. She‘ll be fine after taking some antipyretics and having a good rest,” the doctor said after doing a check–up for Anna.

Then he left the room accompanied by the director and Wayne followed them out

After the doctor left, the director turned around and saw Wayne. Then he greeted Wayne at once, “Mr. Wright.”

Wayne nodded. “Hire a carer to take care of her tonight.”

Hearing this, the director felt a little embarrassed and said, “Mr. Wright, it hasn‘t rained so heavily for many years, and many accidents happened today. It is said that a cruise ship to the nearby island capsized and caused heavy casualties. Now many people are being rescued in the hospital is busy and both medical facilities and medical staff here are scarce. I‘m afraid we can‘t hire a carer.”

When Wayne heard this, it suddenly occurred to him that Tammy hadn’t come back yet. He tensed and asked, “Which ship capsized?”

The director thought that Wayne was worried about Scott, so he immediately explained, “Don‘t worry, Mr. Wright. It‘s not the one that Scott took. Scott and the daughter of Miss Gabriel have arrived at the island safely. But they won‘t be able to come back soon. He just called us and said that they were safe.”

Wayne‘s face softened when heard that. “Mr. Wright, we really can‘t find a carer now…” The director was a little nervous. “Forget it.” Wayne waved his hand and let him go. Then he went back to the room. The grey–blue sheet set off Anna‘s pale face,

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Wayne gazed at Anna. He suddenly remembered that when she met Lilian in the elevator before, she unblushingly told Lilian that he was her boyfriend.

The next moment, his eyes were full of tenderness and he thought. When she is bold, she always does something amazing, making me marvel at her courage. Now she is weak and helpless, making me want to protect her and take care of her…

Wayne leaned over and wanted to look closely at Anna‘s face. But somehow, he and closer to her. Finally, he kissed her on the lips.

It was pouring outside and the wind was blowing the curtains violently. On the wall, their shadows looked like a romantic picture.
