Chapter 81 – After the One-Night Stand with a Heartless Billionaire

Wayne thought for a while and lowered his head to look at Matthew.

Seeing Matthew was also looking at him with expectation in his black eyes, he nodded and said, “Okay. We‘ll go there after lunch.”

“That‘s more like it. Since you have brought him for fun, you can‘t just let him stay in the hotel all the time,” Anna said, very satisfied with Wayne‘s attitude.

Although he doesn‘t know how to take care of a child, he is willing to take others‘ advice on the parent–child relationship. It‘s not bad.

After lunch, Anna took out a tube of sunscreen from her handbag and handed it to Wayne.

“Take this with you. Apply it to his body before go to the beach and reapply it once an hour in case he gets sunburned again,” she said.

Wayne didn‘t take it. Instead, he looked at her and said seriously, “Matthew wants you to go with us.”

“Me? I… i won‘t go.” Thinking of taking a boat, Anna quickly waved her hand and said with a hint of fluster in her eyes, “I don‘t want to go there.”

As soon as she finished her words, she lowered her head and saw Matthew clenching the corner of her clothes with one hand and looking at her expectantly with a note in his other hand.

I want you to go with me.

Anna was stunned for a second. Then her heart was softened and she couldn’t bear to see him disappointed.

She caressed Matthew‘s head and said, “OK. I‘ll go with you. I’ll go back to my room and change my clothes first.”

Matthew doesn‘t have a mother, and Wayne is indeed not an attentive father. They have been here for just one day and due to Wayne‘s carelessness, Matthew was sunburned.

What if they go to the island but Wayne doesn‘t take good care of Matthew again? Besides, Matthew can‘t swim. I‘d better go with them.

“Okay.” Wayne nodded and said. He looked expressionless and cool but actually, he was very delighted

Early in the morning, he saw Anna drinking coffee alone at the cafe. Then he asked the crew of Travel with My Idol about the filming schedule. When he learned that Scott had taken Tammy to the island, he was in a good mood the whole morning.

After getting ready, the three of them went to the dock. They would go to the island by speedboat.

Seeing the life jacket, Anna couldn‘t help feeling a little dizzy. She braced herself to put it on and sat in her seat nervously, not daring to look at the sea.

“Sir, please slow down,” she said to the boat driver with a trembling voice. Wayne, who sensed that there was something wrong with her, asked, “Are you okay?”

“I‘m okay,” Anna said with a forced smile and tried to calm herself down. “Buckle the wind rope of Matthew‘s hat. Or it will be blown away if the wind gets stronger.”

Wayne nodded and buckled the rope for Matthew. Then he found that Anna tried to buckle the rope of her sunhat but failed again and again and that her hands were trembling.

“Are you sure you‘re all right?” Wayne frowned and asked. “Let‘s go back if you feel uncomfortable.”

“It‘s okay. I‘m fine. The boat is wobbly and I can‘t buckle it,” Anna said.

After hesitating for a moment, Wayne leaned over and held Anna‘s hand. “Let me help you.”

Anna was stunned when her hand felt his warm palm, and the seasickness faded away a little. She stared blankly at Wayne who was buckling the rope of her sunhat. When his fingers touched her chin accidentally, she held her breath subconsciously.

“It‘s finished,” Wayne said. His deep voice wrenched Anna back to the present. Anna looked away and said, “Thank… thank you.” “You‘re welcome.” Wayne gazed at her and asked, “Are you hot?” “A little…” “Your face is red.”

Anna covered her face at once and stammered, “Really? Well, maybe… Maybe it’s because the sun is too scorching.”

As she spoke, she pointed to the sky and said, “The sun feels scorching. Help Matthew button his sun–protective jacket quickly.”

Wayne looked at her with a meaningful smile and nodded.

Matthew was curious about everything that he saw, pointing at this and that and asking Anna what they were.

Anna then patiently explained to him one by one. But there were some things that she also didn‘t know such as the speedboat‘s mechanical equipment. At this time, Wayne would explain it and the operating principle of the boat to them.

“Mr. Wright, did anyone ever tell you that you looked like a professional when you talked about boats?” Anna said.

Hearing that, Wayne thought that she was praising him.

But the next moment, Anna added, “People who don‘t know you might think you are a worker in a ship repairing factory.”

Wayne‘s face was darkened at once.

Wayne had a smooth tongue and was an eloquent person. But somehow, when he heard Anna‘s words, he was speechless and couldn‘t say a word to retort her.

Seeing him like this, Anna was in a good mood and the uncomfortable feeling caused by seasickness was weakened.

She asked, “By the way, why did you suddenly bring Matthew to the Maldives? If you told me before you came, we could have come here together.”

Wayne answered expressionlessly, “Matthew wanted to come here.” Hearing that, Matthew glared at him, speechless.

Then he wrote a few words on his drawing board and showed them to Anna.

Dad wanted to give you a surprise.

When Anna saw the words, her heart skipped a beat.

She looked at Wayne and saw that Wayne was also looking at her. When their eyes met, she froze.

Anna had always thought Wayne treated her well because Matthew liked her.

It was after the one–night stand that she vaquely perceived that Wayne might have feelings for her

However, she was clear that there was no possibility of the two of them being together because Wayne was going to get married to Ada soon.

Thinking about this, Anna quickly looked away. To ease the embarrassing atmosphere, she said with a smile, “Matthew, you are so good at making me happy”

Matthew looked at Wayne, motioning him to say something. However, Wayne turned a blind eye to his hint as if he didn’t understand what Matthew meant, and then turned his head to look at the island in the distance.
