Anna tried to leave when she finished.
Wayne shouted, “Hey! Anna! Where are you going?”
“It’s none of your concern!” Anna was irritated. She then walked down the stairs and out of the hotel.
Wayne was right behind Anna as she stepped out of the elevator. Anna reacted quickly, closing the door to keep Wayne out. She soon arrived on the first floor.
Anna had already gotten into a car when Wayne stepped out of the other elevator and made his way to the front of the hotel.
When Wayne noticed she was sitting next to a man, he clenched his fist in regret and called her.
The limo then left the city center. Anna’s cell phone kept ringing and echoing in the car at that point.
“Are you not answering your phone?” Jacob, who was sitting next to her, asked.
Anna hung up the phone, turned to Jacob and said, “It’s none of your business. Driver, please just park at the intersection. I’ll take a cab home.”
Jacob shook his head, saying, “No, I’ll take you home. It’s late, and I’ll be worried about you if you do that.”
Anna refused right away, “Well, you can guess why | just got into your car. You don’t have to be so polite with me.”
“I’m not doing this just to be polite to you, Anna.”
Anna gave him a cold stare and didn’t want to speak to him. Jacob wanted to say something, but when he saw how indifferent she was, he shut his mouth.
“Anna, | have something to say to you,” he said after a while.
Anna frowned and said, “Well, if you want to talk about what happened before, then you should shut up now. | don’t want to talk about those things anymore, and there’s nothing we can do about those ugly memories.’’
Jacob raised his eyes to Anna and said, “Oh, | know | deserve to suffer all the consequences. | shouldn’t have been seduced by Lillian in the first place, and | shouldn’t have broken up with you. | didn’t realize how much | adored you until after | had left you. You are the only person | will ever love.”
“Hey, what exactly are you trying to say?”
Jacob replied, “I know it’s out of the blue, but | just want you to not hate me.”
Anna expected Jacob to have a small speech, but all he did was offer this desperately.
When she looked at Jacob, she realized he was no longer the gentle and confident young man he had been in college. Time and his experiences had changed him, and he no longer looked energetic.
At that point, Anna became confused and couldn’t recall why she had fallen in love with him
After a long silence, Anna exclaimed, “I don’t hate you, and no one is to blame. You know, it’s all due to fate. So, I’m not going to blame you. | was so preoccupied with my job after moving to America that | didn’t have time to think about my feelings. Plus, it would be better if you stopped saying things like you’ll never fall in love ever again .”
Hearing Anna’s words, he blinked awkwardly. “You still have many years ahead of you, so you don’t know who you’ll meet. Even if Lillian is not the woman you love the most in this life, it could be someone else.”
Jacob, on the other hand, insisted on taking Anna home. Anna didn’t tell him where she lived, but his driver appeared well-versed in the area. They arrived at her apartment quickly.
“Thank you, Jacob,” Anna said as the car stopped.
Jacob smiled and tried not to appear upset. “Do you need me to explain anything to him?” he asked, looking out the window.
Anna looked out of the window and noticed Wayne standing still like a streetlight in the distance.
“No, thanks.”
With that, Anna shut the door. Instead of watching her walk away as if they were in a romantic movie, Jacob ordered the driver to start the car,
His car drove into the road, just like their love that faded into the crowd
Wayne approached Anna. He said nothing but simply removed his jacket and draped it over her. Then, he said, “Let’s go home now. You see, it’s freezing out here.”
Anna thought Wayne was gonna argue with her again out of jealousy, as he had done before. Therefore, she was surprised that he was so composed.
Asa result, Anna decided not to be angry with him any longer.
“All right, let’s go,” she said.
It was late, and many residents of the building had their lights turned off. The streetlights and moonlight combined to illuminate the road ahead of them.
They returned home along the stone path.
Anna was sure she would have enjoyed the scene more if she hadn’t been wearing such a heavy gown
Anna took the initiative and said, “Actually, it’s nice for us to take a walk like this every now and then.”
She said this to alleviate their tension.
Wayne was silent for a moment before asking, “What did you tell Jacob? Even if you’re upset with me, you shouldn’t have got into another man’s car like that.”
Anna abruptly stopped smiling and threw the suit she was wearing at Wayne.
“You’d better explain what was going on between you and Rachel first!” she yelled angrily.
Anna stormed into the building with rage, thinking, Wayne, how dare you treat me with a double standard! Why didn’t you tell me what happened between you and Rachel before asking why I got into Jacob’s car?!
After walking into the house, Anna slammed the door hard, making Ryan assume the earth was shaking.
Ryan winced, then accidentally spilled the glass of water in his hand. At that moment, Wayne walked in.
“Eh, what’s wrong with Anna?” Ryan asked as soon as he saw him.
“Nothing.”
Ryan looked before pointing to the water stain on his pants. He asked,” ‘Nothing*? She appears enraged.”
Wayne gave him a warning gaze that seemed to tell him to keep his mouth shut.
Ryan immediately realized what he meant and replied, “Okay, | understand. You must have enraged her.”
“Why are you so sure of yourself? What if! told you it had nothing to do with me?”
“Well, then, I’ll bet you wouldn’t dare knock on Anna’s door,” Ryan said calmly.
For a brief moment, Wayne frowned and gazed at Anna’s bedroom. He then sat on the couch.
Anna rarely lost her cool, but she was being unreasonable today. He shook his head after hanging his head to see if Anna was on her period.
Ryan took two Coke cans from the fridge and handed one to Wayne. He said, “Scott told me that Lillian embarrassed Anna at the party. Damn, she and her husband are idiots! They even brought up what happened in the old days.”
Wayne raised his head and asked, “What are you talking about?”
Ryan froze, then turned to face him and said, “At the party, Lillian and Jacob humiliated Anna. They talked about what had happened previously, which greatly embarrassed her. You’ve got no idea about that? Really?”
Scott called Ryan about 30 minutes ago. He claimed that Anna had left the party early and turned off her cell phone. As a result, he was concerned about Anna’s safety. Also, he told Ryan about what Lillian said at the party.
Then Ryan said hesitantly, “Well, thank God Scott and Randall were both there, and they saved Anna from being humiliated in time. Otherwise, she would have felt very embarrassed. Do you think this whole thing is true?”
Wayne stared blankly into the distance, not paying attention to what Ryan was saying
Ryan replied to his own question, “Well, | don’t. In fact, there will be many coincidences in this world. So, you have no idea who you’ll run into the next second/’
He then stood up and walked to his room after finishing his Coke. Wayne wasn’t paying attention to what Ryan was saying at all. He went to knock on Anna’s bedroom door after that but froze. He didn’t know what had happened on his way to the bathroom, but he seemed to have noticed that there was something fishy about the whole incident.
