Chapter 194 – After the One-Night Stand with a Heartless Billionaire

Wayne handed her his phone directly.

When Anna took his phone, she suddenly held his index finger.

The warmth of her palm passed to the back of Wayne’s hand. At that moment, Wayne froze. He looked down and saw Anna surveying his finger carefully.

The next second, she pressed his index finger on the fingerprint lock. Then, his phone was unlocked.

Wayne shook Anna’s hand off angrily.

“Hey! What are you doing? You scared the hell out of me!” Anna said as she glanced at him with dissatisfaction.

“You broke up with me. So, why did you touch me?” Wayne said indifferently.

Anna, on the other hand, didn’t appear to mind it. She said, “Well, how else am I supposed to unlock your phone then? Will you please stop being so fussy?”

“I thought maybe you could ask me what my password is. You know, there’s more than one way to unlock my phone.”

Anna was dumbfounded for a moment. She locked his phone as if she was annoyed and then asked him, “Okay, fine. So, tell me your password.”

Wayne paused for a second, then replied briefly, “It’s your birthday.”

Anna was stunned.

She believed she and Wayne were both pretty sensible people, and neither of them was good at relationships. As a result, unlike other women, she never examined her boyfriend’s phone or email. She did this out of respect for his privacy and to avoid intruding into his personal space.

Therefore, she had no idea that the password for Wayne’s phone was her birthday until now.

They both stopped talking. All they could hear was the waves crashing against the reef and the wind howling through the mountains out of the window.

Anna somewhat couldn’t believe his words. Still, she lowered her head and dialed her birthday into the phone.

A few seconds later, Wayne’s phone was unlocked.

Then it immediately occurred to Anna that she had spent her birthday this year with Wayne. He went to her mother’s tombstone with her, and they walked out of the graveyard hand in hand. When Selina spoke to him, he was quite sure and assured.

Anna had no idea what they were talking about in the car. Moreover, both Wayne and Selina were reluctant to tell her.

“Where are we going?” Wayne asked as if he wasn’t angry anymore.

“Oh, to Sea Town,” Anna snapped back to reality and replied. As she looked at him, it hit her that she had just been about to call

Peace and tell her that she was fine.

The engine screamed louder than the roaring wind. Anna rolled her eyes at him after staring at his phone for a long time. She said,

“you don’t even have a signal on your phone! So, why did you give it to me in the first place?”

Wayne frowned and asked, “Did I mention anything about my phone having a signal?”

“Oh! Since you’re rich, I assumed you had special phones with GPS tracking systems,” Anna said.

Wayne thought she was joking and asked, “So, Miss Gabriel, do you think we rich people need to drive ourselves?”

Just as they were beginning, the car suddenly bumped a few times and slowed down. Wayne then pulled over to the side of the road. They had just gotten into the car a minute before. Anna could even see her smashed-up car as she turned around.

“What’s wrong?” Anna asked.

“Oh, oh,” Wayne responded, pointing to the gas gauge in the instrument cluster, “Well, the car ran out of gas.” It had been on the verge of running out of gas for quite some time, but it was now empty.

Anna couldn’t believe that. Startled, she exclaimed, “Oh my goodness! Why? Why the hell didn’t you fill up your car?”

Wayne was already a little defensive. When he heard her words, he immediately said angrily, “It’s all because of you, Anna!”

When he received Karl’s call, Wayne was on his way to a business meeting. However, he drove rapidly to find Anna since he was concerned that something bad had happened to her. He was worried that he might have forgotten to fuel his car.

After hearing his snarl, Anna eventually calmed down. When she saw Wayne’s dissatisfied expression, she felt a wave of regret washing over her.

When she saw him in the middle of nowhere, she was so thrilled that there was no way to express her happiness and disbelief. Anna also couldn’t tell Wayne that she was being aloof in front of him since she didn’t want to lose her dignity.

Anna realized that she couldn’t tell him that she had always thought of him was a dispensable scourge to her. But since they had broken up, she had often missed him in every lonely midnight.

After a long silence, Wayne appeared to have finally calmed down. He said, “Well, let’s stay here for the night. There will be trucks coming through here tomorrow morning, and the truck drivers can help us.”

Wayne looked at Anna again after finishing and said, “You can rest in the back if you’re tired.”

Wayne had modified his car, so Anna could build a spacious makeshift bed by putting the chair in the rear seat down.

“Oh,” Anna said awkwardly, and then stepped out of the car and got into the back.

When Wayne tossed her his suit jacket which was tainted with the fresh aroma of his perfume, Anna had just finished putting the seats down.

Anna froze. She clutched his jacket for a long time and said in a daze, “Oh, thanks.”

Wayne hummed softly and leaned back in the driver’s seat with his arms folded. Then, he closed his eyes. And then, Anna lay back in her seat.

The sunroof on the car was opened. Through a layer of glass, Anna could see the full moon in the sky. The moon appeared to be a hole in the sky being poked by someone, revealing the limitless secrets beyond the huge universe.

“How did Peace get in touch with you?” Anna suddenly asked. She did so, in fact, just to see if Wayne was asleep.

She heard her own voice echoing in the car. Wayne leaned back in his seat with his back to her and didn’t move. Just when she thought Wayne was asleep, he said in a somewhat muffled voice, “Karl called me.”

Anna didn’t even anticipate that Peace would have the nerve to call Karl again.

What was going on between them seemed to irritate Wayne. He said bluntly,”I’ll let it slide because she was in a rush to reach you right now. But, if Peace does decide to end her relationship with Karl, she should cut her ties with Karl completely. You know, the fact that she keeps contacting him isn’t good for him.”

Anna grimaced and leaned against the cushion with her elbows propped up.

She sat up and turned to Wayne, saying, “What exactly do you mean? You’re totally wrong! Peace is not that kind of person. If she said she would break up with him, she had already made up her mind. I don’t like what you said about her.”

Wayne suddenly sneered and said, “Am I wrong? Anna, Karl didn’t fight or have an argument with her. Besides, you know how much he’s changed for her. If she didn’t do it to fool him around, then why didn’t she marry him? Isn’t it true that she’s had enough of him? So, she wants to break up with him. And both of you are experts of doing that.”

Despite the fact that he was talking about Peace, he sounded as if he was accusing Anna.

Anna became enraged when she discovered what he was talking about and exclaimed, “What do you mean? You better explain it to me! When we were at your house that day, you…”

Whenever she thought of that incident, she still felt sad and disappointed. That incident not only physically harmed her, but it also broke her heart. She hesitated for a moment but still failed to say that word aloud.

Anna gritted her teeth as her eyes turned red. She hesitated and finally threw Wayne’s jacket hard at his head, shouting, “You know what, I don’t even need your damn jacket!”

After that, she yanked the car door open and stepped straight into the wasteland. Wayne sat in the driver’s seat and watched her in silence. He finally got out of the car and went to her after realizing she had torn this sight.

“It’s too dangerous! It’s already the middle of the night!”

“So, what?”

“Do you have to talk to me like that?” Wayne shouted indignantly, and his voice echoed in the empty valley.
