Anna quickly finished making the bed in the room. When she came out, she prepared a new towel as well as toiletries and gave them to Wayne.
At night, Tammy and Wayne brushed their teeth in the bathroom. Tammy was standing on the small stool with bubbles in her mouth, looking extremely happy.
“What are you smiling at?” Wayne asked. After spitting out the water, Tammy crooked her finger to beckon him. Wayne knew that she had something to tell him and bent down.
Tammy patted him on the shoulder, sighed as if she was a grownup, and said, “I‘ve told you that my mommy is very excellent. She has countless pursuers at home and abroad.”
Thinking of Scott, Wayne was a little unhappy and asked, “Then what do you think I should do?”
“Work hard, Uncle Wayne. Be more passionate,” Tammy straightened her back and said in high spirit. “It‘s not too late for you to work hard to go after my mom now. And if you are with my mom, you will have a lovely daughter like me. If you don‘t work hard, you will have to marry Auntie Ada in the future. You know Matthew doesn‘t like her. Moreover, even if you have a daughter in the future, she will not be as lovely as me.”
Hearing her illogical and childish words, Wayne smiled helplessly. Then he wiped Tammy‘s mouth with a towel, stroked her soft hair, and said, “Okay, I see. Go to bed early.”
“Uncle Wayne, remember to be more passionate. I‘m with you all the way,” Tammy said, kissed him on the cheek, jumped off the stool, and bounced to her bedroom.
“Why is Tammy so excited? What did she say to you just now?” Anna asked casually as she walked into the bathroom after hanging her clothes on the balcony.
Wayne looked at the two of them in the mirror.
At this moment, they were standing side by side. And his toothbrush and cup were blue while Anna‘s were red. And Anna asked him about Tammy naturally. All this made him feel as if they were a couple.
Anna didn‘t get Wayne‘s response so she looked at him in the mirror. When she saw that he was also looking at her, she was stunned and then said in a muffled voice while brushing her teeth, “What‘s wrong with you?”
Wayne wrenched his mind back to the present and said, “Nothing. The toothbrush is too hard.”
“Let me see,” Anna said awkwardly and looked at his toothbrush. “I usually pay more attention to the price than the brush head of a toothbrush. This toothbrush is cheap so I bought it. There is a convenience store downstairs. How about I buy you a new one?”
“No, thanks. I‘ll make do with it,” Wayne said lightly and went back to the room after brushing his teeth.
In the room, Matthew was rolling on the bed in high spirits.
“Matthew, it‘s time to sleep.” Wayne said as he pressed Matthew‘s shoulders to stop him and tucked him in.
Matthew then lay in his arms in a comfortable position. It was rare for him to be so obedient.
Lying on the bed and at the thought of his special feeling for Anna, Wayne frowned and stared at the ceiling blankly, unable to fall asleep.
He thought that he had such a feeling for Anna just because Matthew liked her.
After all, there were few people that Matthew was willing to get close to but Anna was an exception.
After meeting Anna, Matthew was more good–tempered and outgoing than before. Previously, he had decided to marry Ada because Matthew wanted a mother. But now, he could see that Matthew liked Anna more than Ada.
Maybe Matthew doesn‘t simply want to have a mother. He wants Anna to be his mother and has taken her as his mother, right? Thinking of this, Wayne was suddenly enlightened.
“Matthew, you want a mother like Auntie Anna, right?”
Matthew had closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep. Hearing Wayne‘s words, he opened his eyes and got up from Wayne‘s arms immediately.
Then he picked up his drawing board, wrote some words, and slammed the board down on Wayne‘s belly
I do hope that she can be my mom, so what? She‘s not your wife yet. I can see that she let us stay here tonight just for my sake. Tammy said that Uncle Scott had a good relationship with Auntie Anna.
Wayne was speechless and felt somewhat depressed when thinking of the attitudes of Tammy and Matthew when they talked about Anna with him.
Am I that unglamorous in their hearts? he thought. “You don‘t believe me?” he asked. Matthew continued to write on the drawing board. Have you ever chased after a girl?
Seeing this, Wayne didn‘t answer him and touched his nose awkwardly. He indeed had never done such a thing
Matthew looked at him for a moment and then got the answer from his expression. He sighed heavily, lay on the bed, and tucked himself in, not in the mood to talk to Wayne anymore.
Dad is always the one who is chased after by others. He has never chased after a woman. He even doesn‘t know how to pursue a woman. If it weren’t for Tammy‘s help, we even wouldn‘t have had the chance to stay here tonight
Seeing Matthew like this, Wayne was even more depressed and couldn‘t fall asleep. Before turning off the light, he picked up his phone and sent a message to someone.
The next morning, when Anna was sleeping soundly, Tammy suddenly opened the door of the room and ran in
She jumped onto the bed in her cute pajamas and woke Anna up. “Mommy, wake up! There are many people outside.”
With a drowsy look, Anna yawned sleepily and asked, “What are you talking about?” “Many people carrying cameras are outside the door.”
“What?” Anna was suddenly wide awake. She sat up from the bed and asked, “How many people are there?”
“I don‘t know. I only know there are so many people,” Tammy said. Anna then came out of the room in pajamas.
Wayne, who seemed to have been awakened by the noise outside, opened the door of the bedroom and looked in the direction of the door in confusion.
“What happened?” he asked.
“I don‘t know,” Anna said and hurried to the door. “Tammy said there were many people outside. I‘ll go and have a look.”
Then she saw a small stool at the door. It was placed by Tammy when she stepped on it to check the situation outside just now.
When Anna looked outside through the peephole to see what happened outside, she was scared by what she had seen and exclaimed, “Oh my God!”
She was so surprised that she stepped back and staggered, losing her balance. Fortunately, Wayne quickly walked to her and held her shoulder to help her stand steadily. “Are you okay?” he asked.
“I’m okay,” Anna said and then took a deep breath with a pale face. “Someone outside was looking inside through the peephole and I happened to see an eye just now. It scared me to death.”
“Let me have a look.” Wayne walked to the door and looked outside carefully through the peephole for a while.
“What‘s going on?” Anna asked. “There are many people in the corridor, but they are not here for us,” Wayne said. “Not here for us? That‘s good.” Anna breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, she thought of something and said, “But we‘re the only residents living on this floor. Why did they come here?”
Wayne turned to look at Scott‘s room and asked, “Obviously, they are here for someone else in this apartment.”
Outside the door, there was a group of entertainment reporters and photographers.
