Chapter 213 – After the One-Night Stand with a Heartless Billionaire

Anna, on the other hand, could see why Jasper felt that way. He didn’t know Karl, so everything he planned was based on the fact that he was concerned about Peace. Then, of course, he wouldn’t care about their relationship.

They then talked for a long time, and it was completely dark when Anna walked Jasper downstairs. Lily waved goodbye to Anna as she stood under the streetlight.

Anna nodded, then wrapped her shawl tighter around her and turned around. She felt a gust of wind blowing by as she opened the door, causing her to shrink her shoulders. And then, she realized that it was getting a little cooler.

She stepped into the elevator and stared at the numbers on the screen. After a while, the elevator doors slowly opened.

Anna walked towards her house with her head down, and the sound of her pressing the code echoed in the hallway.

As she walked in the door, she smelt the strong smell of coffee.

She walked to the kitchen and tried to boil some hot water. Just as she was looking at the water in the kettle, she heard a man behind her talking to her, “What are you thinking?”

That voice startled her.

She gave a startled cry and covered her chest as she turned back. Anna then saw a man standing behind her.

The light of the living room cast a shadow over the man’s tall figure. Anna couldn’t see his face, but she could identify him as Wayne.

Anna pressed her chest, her heart was beating wildly. And she said, “Oh my God! You scared the hell out of me! When did you get back? Weren’t you in Seriel City yesterday?”

Wayne said with a poker face, “Oh, that project is done. I got back as soon as I heard what happened to your father.”

It had rained heavily in Seriel City for the last few days, and flights there were all delayed. Also, the roads were closed because there were many car accidents happened on the highway. So, there were no flights until that morning.

Anna still hadn’t recovered from the shock, and her hands were still shaking. She held onto the marble table and couldn’t stop gasping for air. She said, “Hey, you really scared the hell out of me. You should have told me in advance! If I’d known you’d sneak into my house, I wouldn’t have told you my code! I really regret it.”

She was actually just whining when she said that. However, she didn’t expect Wayne to take her the wrong way.

“That’s not the only thing you regret, is it?” Wayne said. Then, he took a step closer to Anna. There were water dripped on the floor and muddy stains.

Anna then realized that he was soaked through. She asked, “Did you get caught in the rain? Oh, where’s Gabe?”

Wayne acted like he hadn’t heard what she said. He stared sorrowfully at Anna, who was separated from him by the marble table, and then asked in a cold voice, “Where is that man? Has he left?”

He couldn’t believe that Anna could talk to him at this time as if nothing had happened. He also couldn’t imagine that she could seem so frank after spending hours in this house with another man.

Wayne’s question caused Anna’s heart to skip a beat. She immediately blurted out, “Huh? What man?”

She had guessed by then that Wayne might have seen Jasper.

“Are you serious?” Wayne found it ridiculous as he asked. He gazed at her indifferently and contemptuously. He stared at Anna and seemed extremely disappointed in her.

“Aren’t you going to tell me anything about the man? You wouldn’t tell me if I didn’t ask you, would you?”

“Jasper and I are just friends. Wayne, you misunderstood me.” Anna finally knew why

Wayne looked at Anna and said, “It’s late at night, and you two have been alone in your house for quite some time. And I wonder what you two were doing.”

Anna stood a little steadier, held the table and frowned, “Wayne, please calm down. Jasper and I are really just friends, and nothing happened between us. He had just returned from America and helped me at my father’s funeral. He gave me a ride home, so I invited him upstairs for a cup of coffee to thank him. Do you think I did something wrong? It doesn’t matter how much I explain it to you if you don’t trust me.”

Anna figured that Wayne wasn’t a narrow-minded person, so he wouldn’t mind this. She didn’t expect him to lose his temper like that after seeing Jasper.

“Really? Are you two really just friends? Could you repeat that to me?” “Yes, we’re really just friends.”

Wayne clenched his fist, and then his expression turned gloomy. He then found a picture on his phone and slammed it down heavily on the table. The phone clashed with the marble table, making a loud sound that echoed through the room.

Anna’s expression suddenly changed as she saw what was on his screen. “You ran a background check on me?!” Anna exclaimed.

It was information about Anna when she was in the U.S., as well as proof of marriage and the family portrait with Jasper and Tammy.

“If I hadn’t looked into you, how would I have known that you are married to Jasper? And I didn’t expect you guys to be still in touch now!”

Wayne then said mockingly, “So, in your eyes, men are just some tools that you can use to have s*x with and have children with. Well, it seems that you treat your friends’ really well.”

Hearing that, Anna’s face turned pale, and she couldn’t believe what she had just heard. She said, “Wayne, what are you talking about?!”

“What? Anna, are you still playing dumb now? I finally know that the ex-husband you were talking about is Jasper! No wonder you never told me about him! I thought your marriage was a big failure and that you were hurt by him. Now, I finally realize that I was an i***t who was fooled by you!” Wayne said angrily, and his voice echoed through the room.

Anna immediately became anxious. She defended herself by saying, “That’s not the case! Wayne, please calm down and listen to me, okay? Jasper and I are just a nominal couple… We just…”

“You just what?”

“The only reason I married him was to get a green card! That way, I could legally live in the United States.”

Anna said aloud anxiously. Although she was annoyed with Wayne’s angry reaction, she didn’t want him to misunderstand her anymore. So, she felt that she had to explain that matter clearly.

To Anna’s surprise, Wayne’s smile became even more contemptuous and indifferent. He said, “Really? You really can do that for a green card? Well, it seems that you can do anything for money.”

After a while, Wayne took a big breath, as if trying to calm down. He said, “I hope you’ll think about what you’re going to say next time before you lie. This is so ridiculous! You said that you and Jasper were just friends and that you got married just for the green card. So, who is Tammy’s father? How many men have you been married to?”

Anna instantly felt a chill running down her spine and all over her body. She closed her eyes and knew she couldn’t control her rage any more.

Anna thought to herself, Wayne, you‘re the last person on the planet who get to ask me who Tammy‘s father is like that because YOU ARE her father! You got me pregnant without even asking for my permission! And now you‘re acting like you‘re the victim. How dare you?!

However, Wayne had no idea what was going on in Anna’s mind.

Anna became more and more annoyed and angry as she raised her clenched fist out of frustration and humiliation.

She wanted to give Wayne a slap.

Wayne, on the other hand, responded immediately and grabbed Anna’s wrist in the next second.

Wayne grunted coldly, and then said, “Are you angry? It’s because I revealed the truth, isn’t it? I always thought of you as a strong woman, Anna. And I wasn’t expecting you to beat me because you couldn’t think of a way to make up for your lie.”

Anna immediately struggled to break free from his grasp. However, she didn’t expect Wayne’s grip on her hand to become tighter. She said, “Wayne, you’re such a jerk! Let go of me!”

Wayne tugged Anna’s wrist even tighter to bring her closer to him. He said indifferently, “You’ll do anything for money, won’t you? You’re even willing to have a baby for some guy, right? Will you have a baby with me if I help you expand your Lemon’s market share?”

Anna became enraged and punched Wayne in the chest with her other hand. “Get the fuck out of my house or I’ll call the police!” she exclaimed.

“What did you just say?” After taking a few steps back, Wayne asked in disbelief, his eyes wide open.

“I said, GET THE F**K OUT or I’ll call the police!” Anna said through gritted teeth, trembling in anger.

Sneering, Wayne thought to himself, so, Anna, is this what you think of me? Am I only a tool to you that can be dumped right after you get tired of me? You‘re the first woman that I‘ve ever fallen in love with, and I believed that you were the one for me. But it turns out that I was so wrong!

Gosh! How could I be so stupid, thinking that a woman like you would love me back wholeheartedly? Of course, you won‘t love me back like I love you! After all, you‘re still married to Jasper and you have a daughter with him!
