“There are some more in the car. I’ll bring them here later.”
Anna walked out of bed without even brushing her hair. She opened the bedroom door a coek and saw Tammy happily eating the chocolates Wayne had given her.
What a line traitor! Anna thought
Tammy then put her arms around Wayne’s neck and complimented him, saying, “Mr. Wright, ale you here to give my mommy gifts? Why didn’t Matthew come?”
Wayne glanced into the bedroom and said, “Well, Matthew is at home getting over his jet lag Is your mommy still sleeping?”
“Yes! I’m going to wake her up and have her make you something delicious. Can you stay?
Anna tensed up and pressed her ear to the door to hear their conversation.
She heard Wayne say, “No, thanks. I just came here to drop those things off. Sorry, Tammy. I’m leaving now. Let your mommy get some rest, okay?”
“All right then. Goodbye, Mr. Wright.” Anna wondered why Wayne had left in such a hurry after giving her so many things.
A moment later, Peace sat on the floor, clutching the latest Chanel bag with both hands as if she were holding the most precious treasure in the world.
She told Anna her thoughts, “I think Wayne did this to apologize to you. He must have realized that he was wrong after thinking about it all night. So, he determined to make up for his mistake with fancy gifts. Where did he get such a cute bag? This is a limited edition!”
Anna calmly glanced at the luxury shopping bags all over the table. After hearing Peace’s words, she was even more upset.
“You mean he’s still seeing Ada?”
Peace leaned back on the sofa and looked severe. She said, “Of course! If he didn’t, why did he send you so many things? It’s not a holiday, and it’s not your anniversary. Besides, why do you think he left without talking to you? He must have wanted to make you forgive him by surprising you with these gifts. Wow, he’s such a smart guy”
“Is that so?” Anna asked skeptically. “Trust me on this.” Peace said this for the second time that day. Anna said, “Then, I’ll return the gifts to him.”
Peace exclaimed in surprise, “What? You’ve got to be kidding me! Hey, look at those pretty bags!”
“Well, I’ll return them to him anyway.” “Keep one, please, just one!”
“No, I can’t keep any of them.” Anna felt that if Wayne wanted to apologize by giving her gifts, and he was a bit out of line. She didn’t want to accept such fancy gifts because she thought that he had bribed her. Also, she didn’t want to let the whole thing go easily.
The two men were hanging out in the same bar as they had the day before in the evening
“She returned all the gifts? Wow, so it looks like she’s pissed. Women usually won’t refuse such gifts.” Kari rubbed his chin, looking thoughtful and puzzled as he said that
“I’ve told you; she’s not an ordinary woman” Wayne glanced at him and said in an upset tone
He thought it wasn’t a big deal in the first place. But after he did what karl said, the whole thing seemed serious
Karl suddenly acted like he had it all figured out. He said, “Yes, you are right! Anna is not an ordinary woman, but an assertive powerful woman. So, we shouldn’t treat her the way we treat school girls.”
Wayne didn’t answer him.
“I know how those women are think. The more they compete with others, the more they get motivated.”
“What do you mean?” Wayne frowned at him.
Karl said confidently and firmly, “To put it bluntly, she just wants to be challenged. You know, once a woman gets jealous, she’ll do anything. Since she refused to make up with you as you offered her a chance, you should do it in the opposite way.”
Three days later, Anna’s vacation came to an end.
Peace asked Anna while playing with her phone on the couch, “He hasn’t called you yet, huh? How come?”
“Why are you so agitated? I’m not even in a hurry.” Anna replied.
Anna placed a bowl of fruit salad on the coffee table, and then sat down on the couch and took a long breath. She said, “Instead, I think he shouldn’t have called me. Actually, it’s not as complicated as we thought. When I see him at work tomorrow, I’ll ask him what’s going on.”
Peace asked skeptically, “My life experience tells me that all men are…”
Before finishing her sentence, she suddenly let out a startled cry and bounced straight up from the couch. Anna was so frightened that the grapes on her fork fell to the floor and rolled away.
“What are you doing? You scared the hell out of me!” Anna lay on the floor looking for that grape.
Peace stopped Anna, put her phone in front of Anna’s eyes, and said, “Look! I knew it! I knew was right!”
There was a news on the screen with the headline, “Ada is seen with a mystery man and a five-year-old child at the airport, and it looks like she’s married and has a baby.”
Peace said bluntly, “It’s Wayne and Matthew! I could recognize them even though their did not go to Germany for an appointment, but was on vacation with his kid and lover.”
Anna did her best not to keep thinking about it. She said, “No, don’t be absurd, he wouldn’t have done that. Maybe it’s just that Ada got Matthew’s doctor’s appointment for him. Wayne’s assistant said something about it a few days ago.
Peace took out her phone, looked at Ada’s Instagram account, and said, “Look, look what she’s posted! They were definitely not there to see a doctor.”
Ada posted a selfie of her lying by the pool at a hotel. She wrote, me on this special day and wishing me a happy birthday.”
It was Add’s birthday a week ago She wrote on this post that she was at a resort hotel in Germany, which had once sparked a hot debate among netizens
Peace gritted her teeth, put away her phone, and cursed, “He’s such a jerk! Don’t feel bad. I’ll get someone on the internet to swear the hell out of them tomorrow
Anna lell a little confused and could near her ears tingling That sound made her feel like a plane was taking off in her ears
She hadn’t realized before how important Wayne was to her until then.
Anna had always believed that she stayed with Wayne because she wanted to spend time with Matthew. But when she found out he was with another woman, she felt very distressed. The last time she was upset like that was when she found out Jacob was cheating on her.
“I’ll think about it.” She didn’t listen to Peace’s reassuring words anymore and went into her room alone and locked the door.
“What’s wrong with my mom?” Tammy didn’t know what was going on and asked Peace, confused.
“Tammy, it seems that Wayne is not good enough to be your stepfather. He’s even worse than Jasper. I’ll see him right now.”
“What’s happening? Does it has something to do with Mr. Wright?” As soon as Tammy heard that Peace would see Wayne, she wanted to come along.
Peace had always been a quick mover. She immediately went to her room to change her clothes and then took Tammy out, ignoring that it was already the middle of the night
“Are we going to see Mr. Wright? But his home isn’t here. Auntie Peace, you’re on the wrong way!” Tammy said, leaning on the car window.
“I don’t want to see that man. You know, I don’t even feel like saying a word to him.” “Huh? Then where are we going?” “We‘re going to meet a man who’s as much of a jerk as he is.” “Who?”
Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at Karl’s house. The maid brought them some tea as they sat in the living room.
“Tell me, what’s going on here?”
Peace asked as she rested her phone on the coffee table, “That’s so nasty! If he didn’t want to be with Anna, he should have just told her the truth like a man. He shouldn’t have cheated on her!”
“What are you talking about?”
Karl froze. After seeing the news on her phone, he froze, and then suddenly let out a laugh and said, “Wow, that is fast!”
Peace stared at Karl wide-eyed and roared, “Why are you laughing? You’re just as shameless as he is. I want to curse you now, but let me cover Tammy’s ears first.”
