Charlotte and Wayne‘s previous engagement. Peter didn’t want the kids to know about it, but then he realized he couldn’t keep it to himsell anymore.
Matthew looked downcast. He wrote seriously, “No, I don’t want someone else to be my mom.”
Anna couldn’t help butteelleartbroken when she saw his aggrieved and pitiful expression. So, Anna hugged him tenderly and said in cames. “No, I won’t let anyone else be your mom, honey. But if that day comes, I’ll take you with me.”
Henry made a few phone calls aller walking out of Peter’s study. Then, before dinner, there were many cars parked in front of the house. Almost all of the people in Wrights’ family had arrived.
“Is it some kind of holiday today? Why did he ask us all to come to his house?”
“I came here as soon as I got the call. I have no idea what was going on, and I thought you guys knew.”
“Oh? So, did something happen to the company?”
“I remember that one of the hotels in the company was on fire. Well, I knew that we shouldn’t have let Wayne run such a big company alone!”
Everyone was discussing. Meanwhile, a man, who was in his fifties, sat aside and did not say a word.
That man gave off a shady aura and looked very dangerous.
At this point, a middle-aged man lowered his voice and asked suspiciously, “Dad, what do you think is happening? He hasn’t called us for a long time. So, what does he want to talk to us about?”
The old man’s gaze turned somber as he listened to his son. He said unhappily, “Who the hell knows?! Just wait and see. Anyway, I think Peter’s going to announce something very important to us.”
While Anna was sleeping, the maid knocked on the door and told her to go downstairs for dinner. Then, Anna woke the children up.
After she helped them freshen up themselves, she went to the first floor with them.
When they arrived at the dining room, they were shocked by the sight before them. The dining area was filled with people. At that moment, Anna thought she went to the wrong room.
“Sir, Mrs. Wright is here.” The servant said, and his words drew everyone’s attention. Then, they all began to whisper.
Everyone knew that Wayne was the only child in the Wright family. He was in his thirties, still unmarried, but had a child. And they didn’t know who the child’s mother was.
“Anna, please have a seat here,” Peter said as he waved at Anna.
Anna snapped back into reality when she realized that everyone was looking at her. She then hesitantly walked over to Peter and took a seat with her two kids.
After that, she said cautiously, “Grandpa, I’m sorry. I didn’t know that you would invite so many guests here. How about we leave now and visit you later?”
“No, you don’t have to go.” Peter smiled and gave Anna a comforting look before standing up. He looked very energetic and confident.
“Attention, everyone. I’m sorry that I suddenly made you come here today. Actually, I want to announce something. As you all know,
Tonly have one grandson, which is Wayne. He is over thirty years old and still unmarried. He manages the company well, but I’ve always worried for him because he’s not married.”
As he spoke, Anna’s instincts told her what he would say. Then, she felt that her mind was in a mess.
“Well, you all heard the maid call Anna ‘Mrs. Wright’, right? I think this is a good time for me to introduce her to you. Since Anna and
Wayne are in a relationship, I should make this news public. Otherwise, Anna will think that we don’t respect her.”
Everyone was surprised and began to discuss this.
A young man sitting at another table asked, “Mr. Wright, are you saying that she is my cousin’s wife?”
“Yes, They haven’t had a wedding yet, but I think they are already a couple. So, allow me to introduce her to all of you. This is Anna
Gabriel, the daughter of the president of Gabriel Group.”
Annafell anxious and was unable to speak. She knew that if she told them the truth, she would embarrass Peter in front of so many people. But if she didn’t say anything, she felt reluctant. Besides, she and Wayne were still in a cold war.
She then realized the reason why Peter did it must have something to do with the Wilsons, who were always visiting him lately.
Peter was a snart man, and he must have known that Anna and Wayne were lighting. So, he did this to try to keep Anna around
Sure enough, the older a person was, the wise they became,
And then someone said to Anna, “Ms. Wright, nice to meet you”.
Hearing that, Anna immediately got goosebumps.
Then, almost everyone stood up and greeted her
“Mis. Wright, please allow me to loast you.”
Everyone was congratulating her. Then, Henry introduced them to her. Anna felt dizzy after drinking a few glasses of wine and couldn’t even remember how she left the room.
“Madam, please watch your step. There’s a threshold here.” The maid said.
After hearing her words, Anna immediately put her hand on the door frame. She asked, “By the way, where are the kids? It’s too crowded here, and I think you should take care of them.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve sent them back to their rooms. Besides, there are nannies to take care of them. It’s cold now, you need to go back to your room to warm yourself up.”
“I’m fine, thanks. I’ll stay here to clear my head.”
Anna pulled her hand out of the maid’s hand, waved it casually, and asked her to leave.
Afterwards, she stood alone under the porch. The cool evening breeze blew on her and made her smell the roses. In the breeze, Anna felt that she was sober a little.
Then, she sat down by the beautiful stone table in the courtyard.
“Anna, are you all right?” A man asked.
Hearing that, Anna froze and then looked at the man.
The man was in a grey suit and he was at about the same age as Wayne.
At that moment, Anna remembered that this man was the first one to stand up and congratulate her during dinner. Anna remembered that Henry had introduced him to her as Wayne’s cousin.
