Her voice suddenly became very hoarse, as if she couldn’t speak.
Finally, she raised her head boldly, looked at him intently, and asked, “I want to know what you think about this.”
She threw the question back at Wayne.
The light of the living room was not on. And the light from the foyer obscured everything around them and made it difficult to see each other’s expressions.
After Wayne left, Anna sat on the sofa and stared blankly at the door. She glanced at the clock on the wall and thought that Wayne should have gotten off the elevator. Maybe he was walking out of the building at this moment.
The room still smelled like him. The words he said and his pleasant voice still lingered in her ears
“I know a lot of women, but you’re the only one I want to marry.” Wayne said to her before he left
And Anna didn’t say anything in response.
He finally said, “I like to be efficient in both relationships and work. And I will give you some time to think about it. But, Anna, don’t let me wait too long.”
As she was lost in thought, the door of her bedroom suddenly opened and a bright light beamed through the cook
Anna looked up in surprise to see Peace in her striped pajamas, leaning against the door frame with her arms wrapped around her. Her expression was playful, and she said playfully.
“I heard everything you guys said. So, what are you gonna do?”
Anna’s face suddenly flushed. She avoided Peace’s gaze and replied, “What are you talking about?”
“And you don’t want to admit it?” Peace exaggeratedly pounced on Anna and pinned her down directly on the couch
“Come on, tell me, what happened this afternoon? What does ‘we’re all adults’ mean? I’m an adult too, let me know.”
Peace said as she tickled Anna Anna couldn’t stop laughing and finally shrank back on the couch and told her to stop
“I’ll tell you, I will let go of me”
Since Peace was her best friend, Anna told her everything. They talked until midnight while eating ice cream.
Peace finished her ice cream and asked, “What? You’ve done it? So why didn’t you say yes to him? Now that he’s already asked you to marry him, what are you waiting for?”
Anna frowned and said, “I know I shouldn’t be so hesitant, but I’m still worried.”
“What are you worried about?” Peace inquired.
“About Tammy and Matthew,” Anna replied.
“Why do you worry about them? Since they’re both your kids, you and Wayne will be a perfect match. Tell me, do you like Wayne?”
“Well…” Anna hesitated for a long time and finally answered, “I like him.”
“Wow, finally! So what were you worried about? I think Wayne treats your daughter very well, so you shouldn’t worry at all about him taking her away from you after you tell him the truth. If you fail, he won’t have to take her away.”
Peace had always been a straight-forward person. Although she was right, things were actually challenging.
Anna last replied, “It was late.”
After an absentmindedly conversation, Anna urged Peace to go to bed.
Anna lay in bed too late but kept tossing and turning and was still unable to sleep. She felt like the tangled ball of wool that she couldn’t untangle.
She admitted that she liked Wayne, but she had other feelings for him.
The following afternoon, Peace drove Anna to the hotel. When they arrived at the door, Peace teased Anna, “Do you want me to walk you in? Maybe we will run into Wayne. If you’re too embarrassed to talk to him, then I’ll speak for you.”
Anna rolled her eyes at her and said, “Stop it, Peace. Stop the nonsense. Open the trunk and let me take the case. Thank you for taking care of Tammy.”
Peace leaned back, winked at her, and said, “I know. You might as well think about your own business, Anna, like finding a stepfather for Tammy or something. You don’t have to worry about anything else.”
Anna was a little speechless. Peace had mentioned Wayne since early this morning, even making Anna wonder if Wayne had bribed her into mentioning him in front of her.
Anna took her suitcase and then stood still. Only when Peace’s car drove away that she pulled the suitcase into the hotel.
She walked straight to the door of her room and swiped it open with her spare room card. “Why is this a suite?” She muttered, then pulled her suitcase towards the bedroom.
She hadn’t read it carefully earlier when she received the text message and assumed that she would be staying in a regular business room. She had just walked to the room door when she remembered that the rooms on this floor were all suites.
This was a large suite, with the bedroom and living room connected together. Anna had just entered the bedroom with her suitcase when she heard the sound of the door opening. Immediately after that, a sexy half-naked man came out.
Wayne came out of the bathroom with just a wide white bath towel around his lower body. His wet hair was still dripping: The drops of water traced across his tanned chest and fell in the gap between the towel and his body, looking very sexy and seductive.
“What? You can’t take your eyes off me?” Wayne asked as he looked at her and teasingly. “Why are you here?” Anna asked in a panic as she quickly averted her gaze.
Wayne took a step closer to her and asked, “Don’t you know that this room has always been mine?”
“I really didn’t know. It seems that I went into the wrong room.” Anna said, and she looked a little embarrassed
With that, she turned around with her suitcase.
Before she could walk out, she heard someone outside opening the door. Immediately after that, the sound of several waiters talking came from the door.
Anna‘s heart beat faster She immediately turned around and stood on tiptoe to cover Wayne‘s mouth After looking around, she pulled Wayne to the balcony connected to the bedroom in a hurry and hid behind the curtains
She believed that if the waiters saw her and Wayne alone inside the bedroom, they would misunderstood their relationship
After hiding, Anna felt someone holding her wrist just as she breathed a little sigh of relief. Wayne then moved her hand that was on his mouth away.
