Tammy ran out of the bedroom and said, “Scott, Uncle Wayne is Mommy‘s boss and good friend. Matthew is my classmate. They often come here for dinner.”
“I see,” Scott said with a smile and then warmly welcomed Wayne and Matthew. “Come in, please.”
Seeing him behave as if he was the host of the family. Matthew frowned and stared at him. with hostility.
However, Scott didn‘t notice him at all. He looked at Wayne and said with a gentle smile, “Anna just came back from abroad and doesn‘t have many friends. I heard from her before that she worked in the Carousel Group. You must have helped her a lot in work.”
“She is capable,” Wayne answered perfunctorily. Then he asked, “What’s your relationship with her? Yesterday I hear that Tammy called you uncle. You are her uncle?” He had never heard that the Gabriel family had a son.
“Yes,” Scott raised his eyebrows slightly and said. “Many years ago, Anna took me in when I was homeless before. She took me as her younger brother. But to be exact, I‘m her future boyfriend.”
Future boyfriend… Wayne was speechless. He had never seen a man introduce himself in
“You are humorous,” he said coolly.
“Humorous?” Scott looked at him and said, “Do you think I‘m joking? I‘m serious. Anyway, Anna will be my girlfriend in the future. If you don‘t believe me, you can ask Tammy about it.”
The next moment, Wayne, Matthew, and Scott shifted their gazes to Tammy at the same time.
Tammy was stunned for a moment. Then she blinked her eyes, nodded, and said seriously. “Yes, Mommy has a good relationship with ScottIf Scott could be my dad, that would also be very great.”
Wayne was displeased when hearing the last sentence. With a darkened face, he said sullenly, “Well, really? But don‘t you think Scott is too young for your mommy?”
“We are living in a world of diversity. Besides, I‘m only two years younger than Anna.” Scott said with a smile as he looked at Wayne with a hint of vigilance in his eyes. “Have a seat. I‘m going to get you something to drink.”
After saying that, he went into the kitchen and thought, It seems that Wayne is a strong rival in love. I should take him seriously.
After Tammy took Matthew into her bedroom, she showed a Rubik‘s Cube to him, “Matthew, I can‘t recover this Rubik‘s Cube. Could you help me?” she said. Matthew stood aside with his arms folded and ignored her.
“Matthew?” Tammy looked up at him, scratched her head, and asked in confusion, “What‘s wrong with you?”
Seeing her innocent look, Matthew got even angrier. Then he wrote a lot of words on his drawing board.
My father is so rich and handsome. How could you say that you wanted that man to be your dad2 Uimah I don‘t want to tell to ou aware
Tammy stared at the drawing board for a long time, unable to understand the sentence.
“What do you mean? There are many words that I don‘t know, Matthew,” she said. Matthew inhaled deeply, then drew two pictures on the board, and handed it to her again.
In one picture, a man in a suit and a woman with long curly hair were holding hands, each of them with a child beside them.
In the other picture, a man in sportswear and a woman with long curly hair were standing together with a girl between them.
Matthew pointed at the pictures and then pointed at Tammy, looking very angry.
Tammy them understood what he meant and asked, “You mean I didn‘t keep my promise?”
Matthew nodded and stared at her.
We have agreed on making efforts together to bring my dad and Auntie Anna together! How could she go back on your words and change her mind when he saw that good–looking man? She‘s so fickle!
“Haha,” Tammy suddenly burst into laughter. “It seems that I‘m a good actress. Hey hey Matthew, I was just acting just now.”
Matthew frowned in confusion.
“It‘s been so long time but my mom and Uncle Wayne haven‘t been together. Don‘t you want them to be together as soon as possible?” Tammy sat upright on the carpet and explained, “Your Grandpa told me that pressure could help make things happen so I said those words on purpose just now. I hope that Scott‘s coming can make Uncle Wayne feel pressure so that Uncle Wayne will express his love to my mom and they will be together soon!”
Matthew pulled a long face and didn‘t believe her words at all. “Did you notice that Uncle Wayne looked unhappy when he saw Scott just now? He takes Scott as a rival in love,” Tammy said with a proud smile as she pulled Matthew‘s sleeve. “I‘m sure that Uncle Wayne must have fallen in love with my mom. Let‘s make a push to get them together!”
Hearing this, Matthew recalled Wayne‘s reaction just now and his serious expression softened a little
What Tammy said makes sense. Daddy is so serious and even seldom smiles. He‘s not a person who will take the initiative to chase after a woman. It seems that he does need a rival in love who can make him under pressure.
Thinking about this, Matthew was suddenly enlightened and nodded at Tammy.
When Anna came back home and opened the door, she saw Scott and Wayne sitting on the sofa silently. Except for the occasional laughter of Tammy from the bedroom, the apartment was quite quiet
What‘s going on? she wondered.
Seeing her back, Scott immediately stood up from the sofa and said, “Anna, you‘re back.” Then he went to the door and took the food bags from her hands, “Let me relieve you of the bags.”
Wayne also stood up from the sola.
Anna put down her handbag and asked, “Hi. What are you doing here?” Wayne said lightly, “Matthew wanted to come here so we came.”
Anna looked in the direction of the bedroom and said naturally,” I see. I‘ve bought some food. Let‘s have lunch together later.”
When Scott heard that, his smile froze.
“By the way, you’ve known each other, right?” Anna asked as she looked at Wayne and then at Scott. “Do you want me to introduce you to each other again?”
“No, thanks,” Wayne said with a hint of jealousy in his tone while looking at Scott with a meaningful look. “Your future boyfriend has introduced himself to me just now.”
Anna was stunned. She turned around, glared at Scott, and asked, “What did you say to him? Don’t talk nonsense anymore.”
Frowning, Scott was dissatisfied when hearing her words but only dared to mutter under his breath, “It was not nonsense. I was telling the truth.”
“This is my younger brother,” Anna explained to Wayne, “He is a violinist. But now he is jobless.”
“So you have to support him now,” Wayne said and cast a scornful glance at Scott.
“I don’t need Anna to support me. I just live here temporarily, and I will get a job soon,” Scott retorted and glared back.
“I hope so,” Anna glanced at him and said helplessly. “I’m going to the kitchen to prepare lunch. You guys feel free to talk.”
When Scott was about to explain that he was not penniless and could earn his living, Wayne had gone into the kitchen with the food bags on the ground.
“What are you doing?” Anna caught up with him. “I’ll help you with cooking,” Wayne said naturally. Then the two of them entered the kitchen one after the other.
Scott stood there in a daze for a few seconds before he came to himself. Then he frowned and walked quickly toward the kitchen too. “I’ll help you too.”
“The kitchen is not big enough. You don’t have to help me here. Go play with Tammy,” Anna said and then closed the glass door of the kitchen.
