Wayne panicked after they had sex because he noticed how upset and desperate Anna looked.
Just as he was pulling the quilt over her, he heard her say dully, “is that what you want? Wayne, are you happy now?”
Wayne’s hand trembled as he held the corner of the quilt. He hung his hand in the air for a long time before attempting to place it on her shoulder.
“Don’t touch me! Go away!” she snarled as Wayne’s palm touched her face.
Anna said it with her teeth clenched. Her face was pale, as if she was exhausted. She trusted Wayne so much that she believed he was her soul mate and the love of her life. So, she never imagined that Wayne would do something like this to her.
Hearing that, Wayne looked a little chagrined. He remained silent for a long time before leaving the room without saying anything,
But he realized that there was nothing he could do about it since it had already happened. There were a lot of problems between them, and explanations alone would not solve them. Wayne realized that he had done an awful and terribly wrong thing. However, he was unable to say anything to apologize to Anna.
The room fell silent as soon as he walked out the door.
The light in the living room was dim. And the bedroom door was half-open. Anna could see the light coming in from outside, which made the room seem less cold and solitary.
Anna had been terribly let down by Wayne. Although it was nearly midnight, she was ready to leave Wright’s house.
She then woke up Tammy, who was asleep. When Tammy saw her mother, she rubbed her drowsy eyes and mumbled, “Mommy, what’s wrong?”
“Get dressed, and let’s get out of here.”
Still confused, Tammy asked in a raspy voice, “Mommy, where are we going?”
“Home.”
Anna dressed her and listed her out of bed. As she was about to leave, she noticed a little boy staring at her from another bed.
Matthew had already sat up, and his gaze remained fixed on her as if he could see that she was in a bad mood.
“Matthew.” After a brief pause, Anna yelled out his name, her voice filled with desperation.
Anna realized that if she had custody of Matthew, she would not hesitate to take him away with her and get the hell out of there. She would have brought her two children back to America right away. So, they would never stepped into this place where someone broke her heart.
Even still, she was aware that she would lose all she had worked so hard for in the last few months if she decided to do that. Also, when Wayne was enraged, he could do literally anything
Tears streamed down her cheeks as she closed her eyes. Finally, She made up her mind to leave with Tammy,
Suddenly, she heard someone suddenly said something in a hoarse voice, “Mommy.”
Matthew‘s voice was a little raspy, maybe because he hadn’t spoken in a long time. Despite this, Anna could tell that he was upset and pleading with her to stay,
—Lad man taarr Thon cho turned around and walked back to his bed. By this time there were also tears in Matthew’s eyes. He clutched her shirt and seemed unwilling to let go.
Anna felt heartbroken. She looked honestly into Matthew’s eyes and forced herself not to cry. She said, “Matthew, sweetie, listen to
I swear I’ll come back and take you away with me. But, it’s not the perfect time to take you with me now. If your father finds out
about it, he’ll be pissed, and I’ll never see you again. Honey, trust me, I’ll never abandon you.”
Six years ago, Anna escaped to America. She did this because she was afraid that the man who took her virginity and forced her to have kids would find out about Tammy. And she spent the past six years feeling guilty and remorseful every single day.
Anna had only seen her son once before she found him. So, she missed him and wondered how he was doing.
She didn’t want to leave the city just because of him.
It took her so long to finally find him. So, she couldn’t leave him. She thought that even if she and Wayne broke up completely, she would take Matthew away with her.
At that moment, she felt that Matthew let go of his hand.
Matthew sniffled, rolled over, and buried himself under the covers. His soft sobs came from under the covers and made Anna heartbroken.
She did not dare to stay any longer. So, all she could do was leave with Tammy.
It was almost midnight, and Wright’s house was in the suburbs. So, they couldn’t even get a taxi.
Anna had no choice but to carry Tammy home on foot. The sky was covered in thick dark clouds, and it appeared as though a rainstorm was coming.
On the way, Anna heard Tammy ask, “Mommy, did you just see how sad Matthew was? So, why are we leaving?”
“Because that’s not our home.”
“What? Mommy, did you break up with Mr. Wright?”
“Yes, baby.” Anna said. This was the first time she talked about her love life directly in front of Tammy.
She had never talked about it with Tammy before because she thought she was still a little kid. Also, it was because she and Wayne hadn’t settled down yet. However, she had just recently realized that children knew far more than she had expected. No one had told the kids that the Wilsons wanted Charlotte and Wayne to get married, but they could tell.
Then Anna asked, “Honey, do you feel bad about this?”
**Yeah, a little. But, I’m just sad because I think you’ll be sad. If I had known that Mr. Wright would break your heart, I wouldn’t have wanted you two to be together.”
“Did you? Reallyr” Anna said and then let out a bitter laugh. She didn’t know whether she should feel relieved or devastated.
After they walked along the road for a while, Tammy suddenly said to her, “Mommy!”
“How about you go back together with daddy? Although daddy rarely comes home, he always buys you lots of gifts every time he
Sesus. Beside he treats me very nice,”
Anna frowned at those words and was silent for a long time before saying, “lammy, honey, you’re a big girl now. So, I think it’s time to tell you something. Before that, I want you to know that no matter what happens, I will still love you.”
“What is it? Mommy, tell me!”
“Do you remember I told you that you had a twin brother?”
“Matthew is your brother.”
