“Okay. Thank you,” Wayne said.
Hearing their conversation, Anna looked at the bathroom door in a daze. Sure enough, Wayne knocked on the bathroom door after a few seconds.
“Just now…”
“I heard it,” Anna hurriedly interrupted him. “You can go downstairs first. I’ll be there soon.”
Then she seemed to hear Wayne chuckle but she didn’t know if it was just her illusion.
It was not until ten minutes later that she finally plucked up the courage to open the bathroom door and walk out.
By that time, Wayne had gone downstairs and was not in the room. Anna then made the bed and put a pillow and a quilt on the sofa.
It was raining heavily outside and she couldn’t find another place to stay. Therefore, she had to make do with it and share a room with Wayne tonight.
It was lively downstairs and the guests were playing games in groups. Some were playing Werewolves of Miller’s Hollow. Some were playing cards, and some were playing guitar and singing
Different from others, Wayne was sitting in the corner and reading a financial newspaper. With a gel pen in his hand, he wrote on the newspaper from time to time.
Taking a deep breath, Anna sat down opposite him and pretended to be relaxed as if nothing had happened just now. Then she said, “Are you reading financial newspapers? It’s rare for you to have such leisure time Why don’t you have fun with others?”
Wayne raised his head and said, “Do you think I’m a workaholic who never enjoys entertainment?
“Have you ever attended any entertainments?” Anna asked in reply with doubt in her eyes,
Wayne then put down the newspaper on the table and slowly pushed it towards her. “My entertainment is different from yours and it requires wisdom.”
A column in the newspaper was Sudoku and he had finished it. Hearing his words, Anna twitched her mouth and was speechless.
“It’s just a puzzle game and is not more high-end than other games. Besides, playing cards and Werewolves of Miller’s Hollow also require wisdom,” she said.
In her opinion, there were no ranks among the games,
Wayne gave her a disapproving glance and said, “I don’t think so. Let’s take playing cards as an example. As long as one gets his cards, he can guess what cards the other players have. I don’t think this kind of game takes much brain.”
“Really?” Anna asked with doubt. “I’ve heard that some people can remember the cards that other players have played, but I’ve never heard of anyone that can guess the cards in the other players’ hands when he gets his cards. It’s impossible.”
How is it possible that one can guess the other players‘ cards before the game begins?
“I didn’t force you to believe me,” Wayne said and raised his eyebrows, indicating that he could make it
Seeing his complacent look, Anna was speechless.
When she looked around idly, she found that the two girls at the next table had been peeking at Wayne, and then her eyes brightened.
“Do you want to play cards?” she asked the girls. The two girls were flattered, blushing and nodding happily.
Anna glanced at Wayne and said, “Facts speak louder than words. Prove it to me, Mr. Wright. I want to see how you guess the cards.”
Wayne didn’t refuse.
Soon, the two tables were put together and the girls quickly got a pack of cards from the front desk.
Before they started the card game, they drew for partners. And the result showed that Anna and Wayne were opponents.
When the cards were dealt, Anna looked at her cards and almost burst into laughter. As long as she could play a card that she didn’t want first, she would definitely win.
After a while, Anna’s partner who sat opposite her quickly understood what Anna meant and played a card. “Two!”
Anna’s eyes lit up with joy.
When she was about to play the card that she didn’t want, a deep voice came from beside her. “Joker.”
Wayne looked at her calmly and said, “It’s your turn.”
Anna forced a smile and said stiffly, “Pass.”
Then she thought unhappily. He must have known which card I was going to play so he played the Joker on purpose!
In the next few rounds, Anna didn’t even have the chance to play any of her cards because of Wayne.
“Yeah! We won again! You are awesome, sir!” the girl who was Wayne’s partner cheered excitedly. She was only about eighteen years old and seemed to be a college student.
As for the other girl, Anna’s partner, she also fixed her eyes on Wayne all the time
The two girls were not in the mood to play cards at all. After the first round, they took turns to chat with Wayne and ask about his age and work while acting cute.
Seeing them like this, Anna was speechless. Then she put the cards on the table and said, “Let’s stop here.”
Hearing this, the two girls who had long wanted to end the game were happier and paid all their attention to Wayne.
“Sir, you are thirty-one years old? Are you married?” A girl asked Wayne with affection in her eyes.
When Anna heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she suddenly felt displeased.
Can‘t they see me? Didn‘t they ever think that I might be Wayne‘s girlfriend or wife? Did they deliberately ignore me?
At the same time, she pricked up her ears to listen to Wayne’s answer. Leaning against the backrest of the chair, Wayne said calmly, “My son is five years old now
Hearing this, the two girls were stunned.
Anna had thought that the girls wouldn’t badger Wayne anymore after they knew that he had a child
