Chapter 129 – After the One-Night Stand with a Heartless Billionaire

Anna breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at her watch and muttered, “Then why didn’t he answer my call?”

“I can’t talk to you now, Ms Gabriel, I’m driving. I’ll be at the hotel in a minute.” Gabe’s voice sounded a little nervous.

“OK, bye.” Hanging up the phone, Anna looked at the phone screen and had an ominous feeling.

As Gabe was driving, he couldn’t help but glance in the rearview mirror. He asked cautiously, “Mr. Wright, do you want to go home first or go straight to the hotel?”

“Drop me off at the hotel. Then, please take them back home separately.” “Got it.” Gabe nodded and replied, not daring to ask more questions.

At that time, all the guests were having dinner in the hotel ballroom. It was almost half-past six, and the party was about to end.

Hans and Jennifer walked over to Anna with their glasses of wine and said, “Miss Gabriel, it looks like Mr. Wright won’t be able to make it back this time. What a shame.”

Anna glanced at her watch and said, “Mr. Hans, Mr. Wright is already on his way. His plane was late, but he should be here soon.”

“Is that so? We have to leave at 7:30, so hopefully we’ll see him before that.” Hans smiled and didn’t mind if Wayne made it in time.

Anna glanced at the phone in her hand and found a message from Wayne: “I’m almost at the hotel.”

“Mr. Wright said he’s almost there. I’m going to check the door. He should be here already.” She said happily

With that, she walked toward the door of the ballroom.

It was summer, and a cool breeze was blowing softly after the sun had set.

Anna walked to the hotel lobby, and she didn’t slow down even though she was wearing high heels.

She had just stepped out of the elevator when she saw a familiar car pull up in front of the hotel. Then, Wayne got out of the car and buttoned his suit jacket

She was about to walk towards him when she saw someone she was familiar with also get out of the car.

That woman was wearing a white t-shirt and black pants, and it was apparent that she was in good shape as an actress. She also wore a black hat and giant sunglasses and seemed to want to tell everyone that she was a public figure.

Anna immediately stopped and even stepped back a bit after seeing them. She stood in the elevator’s corner and watched them walk into the hotel. She could only see them from behind, but she could also tell that they looked cute together.

Ada began to straighten Wayne’s collar. However, he looked like he took it for granted. Anna couldn’t see his expression and didn’t know what he had said to Ada.

A child popped his head out of the door window as Ada walked up to the car. She then rubb the child’s head in a seemingly gentle way.

Anna clenched her fists. Was this what Wayne had said was important? She thought. She was furious and even started speculating on what they had said. “Wayne, your tie is crooked.” “You can get in the car. It’s crowded here. I’ll have Gabe drive you home then.” “Okay.” “Ada, please take care of Matthew.” “Don‘t worry, I’ll take good care of him.”

Watching Wayne walk into the elevator, Anna stared angrily at the door as if her eyes were laser light and she wanted to make a hole in the elevator door.

Most women would lose their ability to reason when they suspected their partners were cheating So, if men did not explain it reasonably in time, things would worsen.

Anna stayed at the door of the ballroom for a long time. When she finally walked in, she di see Wayne in there

“Hi, Anna Jennifer called out to her “Yeah?” Anna snapped back to her senses and smiled as she turned around

Jennifer look her hand friendly and said, “Mr. Wright just went in, and he is talking to Han: Hey, I’ve got something for you! Come with me

Anna followed Jennifer to her room.

50 Points

There were three suitcases in the living room, and Anna knew those were their luggage.

Anna asked as she felt worried, “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with the room?”

Jennifer smiled back at her and said, “Of course not, dear. Your hotel is very nice and Hans and I are very grateful for that. We really love it there. Well, do you still remember I said I wanted to give you a gift yesterday? I’ll give it to you now.”

Anna acted a little flattered when she recalled that. Jennifer handed a purple box to her and looked at her expectantly. “Take a look of it.” She then said.

The box was the size of Anna’s hand, was rectangular, and looked a little old. Upon opening the box, Anna found a single emerald gemstone earring inside.

Anna froze and said, “Well, this is…”

Jennifer said, “This is for you! I remember the first time I met you, the first thing you said to me was that your name was Anna. I immediately thought this earring would be perfect for you.”

Anna surveyed her and noticed that although she was in her fifties, she still looked beautiful and elegant.

“Thanks, but this is too expensive, I can’t take it.” Anna immediately refused.

Although she knew nothing about jewelry, she had heard that Hans and Jennifer were both jewelry collectors. Therefore, she knew that this earring must be very expensive. She thought that since she and Jennifer had only known each other for half a month, she really couldn’t accept such an expensive gift.

Jennifer immediately said, “No, I must give it to you.” Feeling puzzled, Anna asked, “Why?”

Jennifer got her hair behind her ears, got up, and walked to the front of the cabinet to look for something. When she returned, she handed Anna a photograph. It was a black and white photo of two cute young children about five or six years old.

“See, that’s my daughter and son.” “Oh! They are so adorable.”

Jennifer smiled sadly and said, “Yes, they were lovely. If my daughter were still alive, she would be your age now. I would have been able to see her in a wedding dress. By the way, I never told you that my daughter’s name is also Anna, too.”

Anna suddenly understood why Jennifer had given her this earring and why she rarely called her by her first name

“Please take it. Your eyes are very similar to my daughter’s, and I think it was fate that brought us together

Jennifer’s eyes were filled with tears Anna had always thought Jennifer was a cheerful and lively lady, but she had never thought she had experienced a tragic story like this.

She couldn’t bear to ask more questions. She hesitated and then took the earring out of the box and smiled as she said, “Thank you, Jennifer. Will you put it on for me?”

Just like you put it on your daughter, Anna thought

There was an emerald stone on the earring surrounded by a circle of melee diamonds. The emerald stone shone beautifully like a mysterious turquoise lake, looking elegant and charming.

Jennifer looked delighted. She put that earring on Anna and explained, “I got this earring at an auction when I was pregnant with my daughter. There were originally two in the pair, but I lost one of them. Look, it’s beautiful, isn’t it?”

Anna looked at herself in the mirror. She turned her head to her right side and saw that earring was glistening on her ear.

When Anna saw Jennifer doing her best not to shed a tear, she immediately took her hand and said thoughtfully, “Yes, it’s beautiful. Anna thinks it’s beautiful.”

Jennifer’s eyes became red. She then held Ahna in her arms and sobbed, “Yes, my Anna thinks it’s beautiful.”

The guests got into their cars after the dinner and prepared to leave the hotel.

When Hans saw the earrings on Anna’s ears, he gave Jennifer a surprised look. He didn’t say anything because he then quickly understood what she meant. He hugged Anna politely and said, “Thank you.”

Anna had mixed feelings after Jennifer left.

Anna thought of her child after learning that Jennifer’s daughter had died because of an accident. She felt that she was so lucky to find her son after five years.

“Let’s go.” A familiar voice brought her back to her senses.

She glanced at Wayne, who was standing by her side. She hadn’t said anything to him earlier because the guests were there and she was still working.
