Henry stated, “Actually. I think he’s doing just fine. You’ve always thought James was too kind and lacked assertiveness, didn’t you? That was why he was involved in that horrible accident.”
When Henry brought up the subject of his deceased son, Peter’s face became solemn. He looked energetic just then and depressed the next moment
He said, “James was a good kid. You know, I was delighted when he said he was going to marry Jennie. But, I didn’t expect something like that would happen to him later. It’s all karma!
guess.”
Henry said, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have mentioned it. Pete, don’t think about that disaster anymore. Do you want to continue to play chess?”
Peter stood up and said, “Forget it: I’m done with it. I’m exhausted and need to sleep.”
Henry sighed as he watched Peter enter the bedroom
Peter had been through a lot of hardship in his life. His father died while he was a child, and his only son died when he was in his forties Plus, his grandson had an even worse temper than he did. As a result, the Wrights rarely had that joyous atmosphere. The last time anyone in the Wright family laughed joyfully was when Wayne and Anna were dating
At that point, Henry thought everything was going to turn out all right
At dusk, Anna returned home from the supermarket Just as she opened the door, she shouted, “Ryan, I’ll be at the Wright’s house later to prepare dinner for Matthew! So I went to the hungry. Don’t worry, I’ll be right back! You guys…”
Before Anna could finish, she saw several pairs of shoes on the shoe rack next to the door, and two of which were men’s leather shoes
A tiny kid rushed up to Anna while she was confused, held her leg tightly, and murmured, “Mommy!”
Anna froze and wondered what was going on. She said, “Hey, Matthew, my dear! What are you doing here?”
She then heard Ryan say from the living room, “Gosh! I knew you guys came here without Anna’s permission! Why did you just lie to me?”
When Anna looked up, she heard Ryan exclaim angrily at Wayne, “Well, don’t try to fool me! Get out!”
Anna asked, “What’s going on here? Natalie, why are you here too?”
Anna then entered the living room, holding Matthew in her arms. She noticed three people seated on the couch in a row. Ryan, Natalie, and Tammy
They all seemed annoyed by Wayne, who was sitting next to them on the single sofa.
Anna had no idea what was going on. While Anna was thinking about it, Matthew let go of her hand and sat on the couch beside Tammy
He was staring at Wayne as well.
Anna stared at them all, perplexed. She stood in front of the TV after washing her hands in the bathroom, saying, “What exactly happened? Well, which of you would like to tell me first?”
Ryan was the first to raise his hand and angrily yelled, “Me, me!”
He pointed to Natalie and continued, “I noticed this little girl kneeling in front of the door after Tammy and I returned home from lunch at a restaurant. I let her in since she claimed to be Tammy’s friend. But she then said she had sneaked out of her house without her father’s permission. Well, I was just about to call the police when Wayne suddenly showed up with the little boy.”
Ryan gave Wayne a look and said, “He said that you told them to come to our house and that you would make dinner for them. So, Anna, did you allow them to come here?”
Wayne asked unhappily. “What do you mean by ‘Our house’? Is this your house, Ryan?” Wayne seemed dissatisfied with what Ryan had just said and stared at him with a frown.
Ryan raised his brows and added with purposeful provocation, “Yeah, you’re in MY HOUSE right now”
“Ryan, are you serious?” Wayne asked senously
Before Ryan could respond, Anna turned to Wayne and said, “Hey. I’m not speaking to you. Will you please shut up?
She turned to Natalie and said, “Okay, guys, take turns to tell me what happened. So, what are you doing here. Natalie?”
Natalie pursed her lips and appeared resentful She sighed as she pointed at Wayne, who was sitting opposite her, and complained, “Yikes! It’s all thanks to him! Wayne is insane, Anna! He told my father that he wanted to marry me I’m still underage, for god’s sake!”
Ryan instantly spit out the water he had just drank and then stared at Wayne in disbelief and exclaimed, Wayne, I knew you were ap…t, but I have no idea that you are this sick!”
Wayne scowled, disgustedly examining the wet spot on his sleeve and warningly looking at Ryan
“Let her speak!” Anna spoke while looking at Natalie
Although Natalie’s statements shocked her, she wanted to hear her explanation
“Okay My father asked Wayne to marry Charlotte, but he refused it. Then, they had a huge fight My father said Wayne must get married before Christmas and didn’t care who his wife would be I’d been hiding behind the door listening in on their conversation all the time. Then Wayne pulled me into the room and announced that he would marry me Dear lord! He went bananas!”
After hearing Natalie’s statements, both kids on the couch gazed at Wayne as if he were the most insane person on the planet. Tammy was disgusted by him, and Matthew looked as if he had detested him
“Oh, I was just saying it off the top of my head.” Wayne answered, coughing awkwardly
“What? That is not a valid excuse! Natalie is only thirteen years old, you know. No wonder she’s so scared that she ran away from home.” Anna said, rolling her eyes at Wayne
Before he could explain himself, she turned to Matthew and inquired, “What about you, then? What exactly are you doing here?”
Matthew could pronounce a few simple words but not whole sentences. So he drew “Dad had an argument with Great-Grandpa, so he got kicked out” on his drawing board.
When Natalie noticed the line, she exclaimed angrily, “He deserves it!”
Wayne glanced at Natalie and seemed annoyed. After that, she hid behind Ryan and didn’t dare to say one more word,
After listening to their explanation, Anna got the gist of what had happened.
It began with the fact that Wayne had lied to Peter that he was dating Charlotte. However, just as Peter was going to set a wedding date for them, Wayne revealed the truth to him. After pissing
Natalie couldn’t comprehend that Wayne was just using her as an excuse, and Anna felt that she had no way to explain it to her.
When Anna saw how much of a bummer Natalie was, she said to Wayne in displeasure, “Look what you’ve done. Talk some sense into her, will you?”
