Anna stood straight with her mop and said, “Unfortunately, I’m afraid no. Peace and Karl are in the United States, and Andrew works every day in the office to prepare for the competition. Besides, | doubt he’ll be able to take care of the kids. Well, let’s forget about Scott and Randal.”
“Why? | think their house is nice, and they also have nannies at home.”
“Oh, they’re off to Bali.”
“Wow! They are on their honeymoon.” Ryan laughed
Anna walked to the bathroom, untied her apron and gloves, and put on a coat. She then said, “Tammy, Matthew! Let’s go.”
The two kids then bolted from the room.
Anna put medical masks on them for fear of infection, and they also put on their yellow hats. Both kids looked at Anna with big blinking eyes.
“Okay, kids, go stay with great-aunt Selina for a few days. Ill pick you up and bring you home after these two guys recover.”
Both kids nodded and walked out the door, holding Anna’s hand and dragging their suitcases behind them.
Anna’s phone rang just as they entered the elevator. After seeing who was calling, Anna froze for a moment before answering.
“Henry, hi. What can | do for you?”
After Anna and the two children came downstairs three minutes later, they saw a black Rolls Royce parked in front of the door.
Then they saw Henry standing in front of that car.
When Henry saw them, he approached them, saying, “Hello there,
Miss Gabriel. A lot of people have been getting a cold lately, you know. Peter was concerned about Matthew and asked me to pick him up and take him home.”
He hadn’t finished speaking when Anna felt someone’s leg clinging to her. She lowered her head to see it was Matthew.
“Henry, you can take Matthew away. But, as you can see, he really doesn’t want to go with you. I’ll drop the kids off at my aunt’s place, and | believe it’s relatively safe there.”
“I heard that there are already two nannies with the flu at her house, right?”
Anna frowned, thinking, Peter, you seem to know everything! I didn’t expect you to know that my aunt’s nannies were ill. Well, it seems that you’re eager to get Matthew home.
Anna realized she couldn’t say no, so she let Matthew go and tried to.
persuade him, “Hey, honey. You heard Henry, someone at my aunt’s house has a cold, too. So, you should go home with Henry.” Matthew shook his head in horror, wide-eyed, and exclaimed, “No!”
•Anna was caught in a quandary. She explained to Henry, “I can’t make him do something he doesn’t want to do. | know Peter doesn’t like me, but I can’t force Matthew to leave me.”
Henry paused for a moment before responding, “Peter isn’t doing this to make things difficult for you, Miss Gabriel, if he didn’t like you, he Wouldn’t have come here with me. In fact, he didn’t want to blame you because you didn’t do anything wrong. He was simply annoyed with Wayne.”
Peter’s here?” Anna asked, looking at the car next to her.
Anna turned around and saw Peter sitting in the car. He looked at the two children through the car window and seemed to miss them terribly.
Anna paused for a moment before looking up and saying, “Well, Henry, could you please tell Peter something for me? | know he’s mad at Wayne, but I need to tell him something. So, can you help me?”
Henry froze and said, “Did Wayne talk to you about it?”
“Yes, | already knew what had happened,” Anna replied.
Henry immediately nodded and returned to his car.
He briefly addressed Peter before returning to Anna and saying, “Get in the car. Miss Gabriel. It’s freezing in here.”
“Let’s go, kids,” Anna said, nodding.
They then went to a cafe close to Anna’s house.
Anna and Peter sat across from each other at the table, each holding
a cappuccino. Peter appeared dissatisfied and said, “To be honest, | don’t quite trust you. Well, Henry told me that If! didn’t listen to you, you wouldn’t let me take Matthew away. And here we are.*’
After taking a sip of her coffee, Anna said, “Matthew is your great-grandson, so there is absolutely no way | can stop you from taking him away.”
“Great, I’m relieved now that you know that,” Peter grumbled.
“Actually, | believe that you and Wayne should resolve your disagreement soon. Otherwise, you’ll make the two kids feel awkward and embarrassed.”
Peter glanced at Henry, who was standing beside him, and said, “Oh, it seems that Henry has told you everything”
Henry remained silent, and Anna nodded. She said, “Henry did it so that I could help you reconcile with Wayne.”
“What? Do you think you can really do that?”
Anna replied earnestly, “No, | didn’t think so. That’s why I declined him.”
Peter frowned, but he didn’t appear as distressed as he had been before.
He said, “Okay, | understand what you’re trying to say. However, you cannot fix our problem. I’ve never mentioned it in the last few years because | didn’t want to face the problem. You see, Wayne’s been getting on my nerves lately.”
Anna said outright, “What are you talking about? Is it the fact that Wayne and | are in a relationship that irritates you? But, you used to be very supportive of us being together.”
Peter gave Anna stern look and said, “Well, that’s because | had no idea you weren’t divorced back then! | would not have done it otherwise.”
Anna said calmly, “So, I’ll explain this to you in detail later. The most important issue right now, however, is resolving the conflict between you and Wayne. Do you want to know the truth about the incident that happened three years ago?”
“What did Wayne say to you?” Peter asked after a brief pause.
“Oh, don’t worry; he said nothing about that to me. | discovered the truth for myself”
Anna then placed her phone in front of Peter, saying, “You can take a look at this. | had a detective go to Leeds earlier to look for the two nannies Who used to look after Matthew. He then asked them to record a statement. I will send you the recording later if you want to listen to them. But | don’t have that file on my phone now.”
When Peter saw those words on Anna’s phone, his face became solemn.
“Mary and Kim previously affirmed that the young man at the Wright’s told them to drug Matthew. As a result, | assumed that man was Wayne. You must be aware of this information, right? But | have a question for you.”
“What do you want to say?”
“Did Wayne come to your house frequently from the time Matthew was born until the time of his accident?”
Peter appeared solemn and afraid when answering the question.
Henry chimed in, “No, he almost never returned home. He was having a cold war with Peter at the time.”
Back then, Peter was so angry with Wayne for finding a surrogate that he broke his promise to make him president of the group. As a result, they barely spoke to each other for the next two years.
Anna finally made the most critical point, “So, what is it that makes these two nannies so certain that the man is Wayne? They said they’d only seen him a few times at your house. Plus, they said almost every servant in the house knew the man was a member of your family.”
Hearing that, Peter and Henry looked alittle surprised.
Anna said, “Well, do | need to go on any further? I showed those two nannies a picture of Wayne and Richard, but they couldn’t tell them apart.”
Everyone knew that Richard was the only person in the Wright family Who resembled Wayne the most, and they had similar appearances and figures. It had been three years, and neither of the two nannies could recall Who in the Wright family had asked them to do this.
Peter had obviously not taken this into consideration before, and he immediately appeared depressed.
“That bastard!” he muttered.
