Wayne nodded, but he appeared embarrassed. After opening the box, Anna saw a brown teddy bear. “It’s so cute!” she exclaimed.
She took the bear out of the box and squeezed its tummy. Then, the bear suddenly made a loud laughing sound. Startled, Anna let go of the bear out of instinct, and the bear fell to the ground. Much to her surprise, After falling on the ground, the bear kept wriggling on and making a weird laughing sound.
Anna froze for a moment, and then couldn’t refrain herself any longer. She held the car and laughed louder than the bear. She laughed so hard that tears almost fell from her eyes.
Wayne became even more depressed as he picked up the crazy bear and asked, “Is that amusing? You were staring at this bear as we left the amusement park, so I thought you liked it.”
“I probably would have watched it longer if I had known it would make such strange noises,” Anna laughed. Frustrated, Wayne threw the bear back into the box and said, “Gabe is so screwed! This is ridiculous!”
Anna felt touched when she saw Wayne’s embarrassed and angry expression. She wrapped her arms around his waist and said, “Don’t be upset, honey. Actually, I think it’s nice for us to do this every now and then.”
As a highly competent workaholic, Anna seldom showed her soft side in front of Wayne. At the moment, seeing her acting so cute, Wayne’s heart beat faster and faster. He hugged her tightly and ki*sed her on the cheek,
“If I had known you didn’t like this, we could have done something else,” he said.
Anna smiled and asked, “What else could we do? I know romance is not your thing. The most romantic thing you’ve ever done was to propose tome.”
“Or, we could do something we both like,” Wayne whispered in her ear in a sexy and deep voice. Anna froze, and her entire face turned red.
“I’d better leave you in the haunted house!” she said and smacked him on the shoulder.
Wayne smiled brightly. Then he pointed at the car and said, “Get in, ‘
Anna.”
“Seriously? Right here? Right now?!” With her eyes widened in astonishment, Anna asked. She thought, Wayne, what the hell are you thinking?! I’m not going to have s*x with you right here! People can see us!
Seeing the astonished look in her eyes, Wayne immediately realized that Anna had misunderstood him. Shaking his head while giggling, he explained, “No, Anna. I was going to ask you to watch the stars with me inside the car as it is cold out here. What are you thinking, sweetie?”
“Oh… Oh!” Hearing that, Anna blushed in embarrassment. Then she added, “You should’ve just told me directly, Wayne, you know.” “But I just couldn’t help teasing you like that. You should take a look at your face just now. Gosh! You look so adorable.”
“Okay, enough. Let’s get into the car, shall we?” Anna said.
Having opened the car door for Anna, Wayne said in a dramatic tone, ” After you, my lady.”
With a laugh, Anna got into the passenger seat. After that, Wayne got into the car as well. Later, through the sunroof, they saw countless stars sparkling like diamonds in the sky.
“Gosh… I miss this. When I was a kid, my grandpa often watched the stars with me at night on the roof. And he would tell me the names of the stars. I’m terrible at remembering their names, though. Ever since he passed away, I’ve never watched the stars.” With a sigh, Anna said with a bitter smile, and the rims of her eyes turned red.
“Well, you have me now, Anna. As long as you want to watch the stars at night, you’ll have me accompany you.”
“Thank you, Wayne. It means a lot to me,” Holding his hand tightly, Anna said in a gentle tone. After some time, the renovation of their house was nearly finished. Jennie was extremely efficient and had hired a professional renovation crew. They worked nonstop for a month and a half to complete the renovation.
“The original color of the curtain was too dark and it looked very depressing, so I changed it. I didn’t change any of the furniture. I connected the coatroom with the bedroom, and made it more convenient for you to get dressed. Is there anything else you want to modify?” Anna led Jennie to sit on the couch, saying, “Thank you, Jennie. I’m quite happy with that. You should take a break now. Look, you’ve been so busy for so long that you haven’t had much time to rest.”
Anna had suggested that Henry arrange for someone to stay here earlier, but Jennie had refused it. She preferred to work by herselt. Jennie smiled, “Just leave this to me, I’m fine. I really hope you would like my design. Did you let tell your aunt to come over for dinner tonight?”
Anna said, “Yes, they’re coming later. Actually, Wayne will probably be here soon. He hasn’t been too busy lately, but he’s been preparing for a party lately. So, he still has to go to the office.”
Hearing that, Jennie immediately became nervous and asked, “Is that so? I’m going to check the kitchen now.”
Anna could tell what Jennie was thinking. Since she and Wayne had been away from each other for many years, they were still unfamiliar with this.
“Don’t worry, I’ll go there too,” Anna said.
They had just entered the kitchen when they heard a car engine in the yard, Then Anna heard Wayne ask the maid in the living room, “Where’s Anna?”
The maid replied, “She’s in the kitchen cooking with Ms. Wright.”
Anna then walked out of the kitchen and said, “I’m here, Wayne. Come help us flour the chicken wings.”
Jennie immediately said, “That’s okay, I’ll handle it myself. He has no. idea how to do
Anna smiled and said, “No, he does. Don’t you think so, Wayne?”
Wayne smiled and nodded. He took off his jacket, then walked into the kitchen. When he saw Jennie was also there, he lowered his head and appeared uneasy.
“Tell me how to make it,” he said to Anna.
Anna pushed him closer to Jennie and said, “Help your mom, dear. I’m going to ask my aunt if she’s set off”
Jennie tried to stop Anna. When she turned around, she saw Wayne standing beside her. And she said nervously, “It’s all right. Wayne, you don’t have to help me. Go to the living room.”
After she finished, the entire house fell silent. Then, Wayne asked, “Should I just directly coat the chicken wings with the flour or after I mix the flour with the eggs?”
