Chapter 124 – After the One-Night Stand with a Heartless Billionaire

Hans tilted his head and looked up and down at Anna. He asked Wayne jokingly, “She’s so pretty Is she your wife?”

Wayne said calmly, “She will be soon.”

Hearing this, the hotel employees all looked at each other with great surprise, as if their guesses were correct. Even the diplomat looked at Anna in amazement.

Hans and his wife did not know what they were surprised about. They were delighted to hear that Wayne was getting married and congratulated them, and Jennifer then gave Anna a friendly hug.

“When you guys get married, be sure to tell us. I have friends who make wedding dresses.”

Hearing Jennifer’s words, Anna blushed. Hans then told some jokes to tease them. Fortunately, the diplomat brought up the trip with the group and changed the subject.

Only then did Anna become relaxed. She then asked the waiters to lead the guests to their rooms.

The first day was a jet lag day for the guests, so there was no schedule. The waiters brought the lunch to the guests’ rooms. To make sure everything was in order, Anna kept an eye on all the waiters who got the food to the rooms. She didn’t leave until she saw the guests eat

Anna was then free to go back to her room. She took off her high heels and stepped on the carpet with bare feet.

She sat down on the sofa, stretched out and yawned slowly.

Not knowing that the guests were coming at noon, she woke up very early in the morning. So, she felt exhausted.

Anna had just laid down when she saw someone coming toward the couch. “Sleep on your bed. It’s cold in here with the air conditioning on.”

Anna was so tired that she failed to open her eyes. She lifted her hands feebly and said, “I’II sleep here. I don’t wanna stand up. Give me a blanket, will you?”

Anna’s slim arms waved in the air and finally rested on the back of the sofa. Seeing that, Wayne shook his head resignedly and walked over to her. “What?”

Anna gave a startled cry when she found herself being picked up. She immediately hugged Wayne tightly and then opened her eyes.

She seemed awake at that moment. But immediately, she closed her eyes again. She muttered, “I can sleep on the couch, you don’t have to carry me to the bed at all.” Wayne wanted to drop her right on the floor when he heard her complain about him.

However, after seeing her lovely face, his eyes instantly became tender. He gently laid her on the bed, covered her with the quilt, drew the curtains, and turned on the night light.

He set the air conditioning to a suitable temperature before he left the room. The moment he closed the door and looked at the cozy environment of the house, he suddenly realized that he was doing something he had never done before.

Wayne hadn’t considered that he would get married until he met Anna

He never felt lonely living alone. He even thought that having a dog accompanying him was more reliable than getting married.

In his opinion, Matthew had turned his life upside down, but he hadn’t expected to meet Anna, who turned his life upside down even more.

Wayne hold different attitudes towards Matthew and Anna He wasn‘t too happy when he first met Matthew, but he loved having Anna around in the first place already

He closed the door gently in case he woke Anna up. The sound of his softly closing door echoed in the quiet room

Gabe had been waiting at the door for a while. When he saw Wayne coming, he greeted him and said, “Hello, Mr. Wright.”

Wayne nodded in response and then said, “There’s been some gossip going around the hotel lately, so please go take care of it. Don’t let me hear any more of this boring gossip from them.”

He was a little impatient when it came to this matter. All the employees in the hotel thought that Anna was married, and Anna never said the truth because she found it troublesome to explain. So, he had to deal with these things.

Gabe nodded and said, “I’ll deal with this by tomorrow morning. By the way, I got some updates on Leo. His neighbors said a young man had been to his house before the fire.”

Wayne stopped after hearing this, frowned, and asked, “A young man? “The neighbor said the young man was less than twenty years old. He was good-looking and before, and then he went there again after half a month. It was that night that Leo had an accident. I brought a photo with me. Take a look at it.”

Gabe pulled a photo out of the paper bag, handed it to Wayne, and said, This photo is a composite from that neighbor’s description, and the young man should look like this.”

Wayne held the edge of the photo with his long fingers. He looked at the face of the young man in the picture and felt as if he had seen him somewhere before.

Wayne was thinking about it when he heard a footstep in the distance. A tall young man approached them, his figure mapped out in long shadows by the light of the hotel corridor. In a pleasant voice, he said, “Hi, guys.”

Wayne looked up and tucked the photo back into the paper bag. He frowned a little when he saw Ryan and asked, “What are you doing here?”

Ryan was dressed in a casual white outfit that made him look very youthful and energetic. He said, “I came to see Anna I’ve recalled where I’ve been in the past two days, and I think that it should be related to my previous experiences I’m going to look for Anna and ask her to go there with me.”

“She’s asleep She’s very busy these days I’m afraid she won’t have time to come with you”

Wayne looked at him after he finished Speaking, looking a little wary He paused for a second, and then said in a deep voice, “If you recall anything, you can just ask for my assistant for help

Ryan folded his arms, glanced at Wayne, and said, “This is between me and Anna, so I won’t trouble you”

Wayne‘s expression changed He looked over at Ryan, and his eyes turned cold

Wayne knew that few people dared to go against him, and he was increasingly aware that Ryan was hostile to him

“Although Anna was the one who hit you, our company will be responsible for this So, from the day you left the hospital, this is not a matter between you and her”

Wayne gazed at Ryan in a domineering way and said, “It’s between you and me”

Ryan laughed contemptuously and said nonchalantly, “That’s not necessarily true”

The atmosphere became awkward because of their animosity. Then, a sharp cell phone rang, followed by Gabe scrambling to answer the phone, which interrupted their confrontation.

“Mr. Wright, the receptionist said that Miss Xavier is here to see you. She says she has something to tell you,” Wayne nodded and said, “Let’s go.” Looking at Wayne’s back, Ryan frowned, and the look in his eyes grew contemptuous.

In Wayne’s office, the secretary came in to bring them coffee. She looked at Ada a few more times before leaving. The entire hotel staff knew that Anna was with Wayne, that Ada was Wayne’s fiancée, and that there were even rumors that they were getting married. So everyone wanted to see what Ada was going to say to Wayne after their engagement was canceled.

“Gabe said that you know a doctor in Germany who specializes in child psychology?” Wayne asked directly. Ada replied smugly, “Yes, I went to Germany before and met a professor who has been studying the psychology. He was particularly knowledgeable about children’s autism and loss. Immediately, I thought of Matthew.”

“That would be great,” Wayne replied thoughtfully. “I’d be very happy if he could talk like the other kids. Do you have contact information for this doctor? I’d like Matthew to meet him.”

Ada looked down and drank her coffee to hide her excited expression.

She felt that if she could just spend more time with Wayne, she could make him fall in love with her. She said gently, “Then I’ll ask this doctor when he’s available. I knew this doctor from the bridal store. At that time, I was filming in Germany. When I went to the store to pick up my wedding dress that was just made, I met him.”

After saying that, she smiled as if remembering something. Wayne looked down at the paper in his hand and didn’t want to respond to her.

Ada clenched her fist and continued to ask, “Wayne, I know, you don’t like to date actresses. But we’ve known each other for so many years, and you know how I feel about you. Tell me, why did you cancel our engagement?”

The day she received the call from Wayne’s assistant, she was on her way to an award ceremony. To her surprise, Wayne didn’t even tell her personally that he would break off the engagement with her. He just had his assistant call her and didn’t allow her to plead.

At that time, Gabe told her over the phone, “Mr. Wright has already made a deal with the organizers, so the Best Actress award will go to you. This is his compensation for you.”

Hearing that, she thought indignantly, Damn it! I have worked so hard to get to marry Wayne. I won‘t just let all my hard work go to waste!

Hearing her words, Wayne slowly lifted his head and looked at her indifferently.

“I made it clear to you when I said I would marry you. I didn’t mean it.”
