“Let’s go over what has happened since we first met. Then we can sort out and solve all issues of our relationship.”
Anna straightened her back and looked at him with a frown. She paused for a moment before asking nervously, “What if we cannot resolve these issues? Then what are we gonna do?”
And she thought, Wayne, are you going to talk to me about Matthew’s so-called “birth mother”? If you’re gonna tell me that you insist on letting 318 We Need to Talk, Anna Matthew spend some time with her alone despite the fact that I’m strongly against the terrible idea, then we’ll have nothing to talk about. And, if that’s really the case, | sure will do whatever lean to take Matthew away from you. And | might even break up with you.
Then Wayne frowned and appeared dissatisfied when he heard what she said. He said, “Let’s not get into that right now. Anna, try this pie.”
He wanted to talk to her about everything, including the fact that he had already found out that Sophia turned out to be a phony.
On the other hand, Anna was still waiting to hear what he had to say.
“No, I’m not hungry,” she replied.
However, her stomach growled as she finished speaking, much to her embarrassment. The sound was so clear in the quiet, empty room that she awkwardly touched her hair.
“Stop it, Anna,” Wayne said as he handed her a plate of macaroni and cheese.
So, Anna began to eat.
Anna quickly ate all the food on the table before looking down, rubbing her stomach, and saying, “So, I’m done. Go ahead, tell me what you want to talk about.”
“Anna, first of all, I’m sorry. You’re right. Sophia isn’t Matthew’s birth mother at all. And thank goodness I’ve run a thorough background check on her in time. Otherwise, Matthew…”
Saying that, Wayne lowered his head, pursing his lips in embarrassment.
“It’s okay, Wayne. At least you listened to me and Matthew is safe and sound now. But you have to promise me that things like this won’t happen 318 We Need to Talk, Anna again,’ Slightly frowning, Anna said to Wayne seriously.
“Okay, | promise you. You have my word. And secondly, you’ve probably already realized that | will know everything | want to know about you without asking you, right?” Wayne said
Anna furrowed her brow and seemed unhappy. She realized she had known Wayne was a condescending person who didn’t seem to respect others since the first time she met him.
However, to Anna’s surprise, Wayne then said, “But I don’t want to look into things about you because | would prefer you tell me about them yourself. | want you to tell me everything about you and your past. If you don’t want to discuss it, then I won’t pressure you into doing it.”
Anna froze and then stared in awe at Wayne.
“Do you understand what I’m talking about, Anna? Nobody can tell me if you’ve ever loved anyone other than me. I’m not sure how much you care about me, and I’m not sure why you always consider keeping a distance from me or even breaking up with me when things go wrong between us.”
Wayne had always appeared calm, but at that moment, he seemed panicked and helpless. Anna was his only weakness, the person he cared about the most. And he wanted the entire world to know how much he adored her.
After a brief pause, Wayne continued, “You’ve been wondering what | was going to say to you, and you probably thought what I was going to say would disappoint you so much that you might even consider ending our relationship. But Anna, | want you to know that I’ve never ever thought of breaking up with you even though sometimes my behavior might make you misunderstand me. Again, I’m sorry about that.”
Hearing that, Anna was so astonished that she failed to utter a single sound.
Anna paused for a long time before asking, “Why did you suddenly want to talk to me about it today?”
In fact, Anna had no idea that Wayne had been on an emotional roller coaster since he arrived at the hospital. With all of his patience, he tried to reconcile with her and repair their relationship.
Wayne approached her calmly and asked, “What would you say if! didn’t tell you this? Would you just assume that | didn’t trust you at all and then just walk away from me?”
Anna remained silent because Wayne had read her mind.
To her, the most important rule of her life rule was to minimize losses. As a result, whenever something went wrong between them, her first reaction was to leave. She also did the same thing when it came to many other matters.
Having weighed the benefits and drawbacks, Anna chose the former between the kids and Wayne, as well as her career and him.
She felt that if she had to choose between her family and friends and Wayne later on, she would go with the former. She felt that love was the least important thing to her, and she knew why.
After a pause, Anna said, “The truth isn’t always pleasant, and reality isn’t always appealing. So, sometimes, being blinded by lies might be a good way to escape from the cruel reality. But, | have to be honest with you, Wayne. Sorry, but my children, family, and friends take priority over my lover. I’m not sure if you mind, but it’s the truth. Well, it’s just like |
believe you would choose Matthew over me if you have to. So, please don’t force me to make a decision this way because it makes no sense.”’
