Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 46

“I…. I‘m leaving now. Sorry to interrupt you and Ms. Gabriel, Mr. Wright.” The servant outside hurriedly explained.

Anna heard her hasty footsteps. “It‘s not like that.” Anna ran to the door to explain to her, but there was no one in the hallway when she opened the door, as if it was only her illusion.

She felt like crying but had no tears. Great. Now I‘m the real social climber who tries to seduce Wayne Wright.

“Do your servants all come and go like ghosts?” She turned around to look at Wayne with a scrunched–up face.

Wayne frowned and looked at her in confusion, “What?” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Nothing. Just forget about it.” Anna wanted to tell him that people would talk. But on second thought, she didn‘t bother to do so since he wouldn‘t understand it. When she was going to take the towels and leave, she suddenly thought of something and stood still on the hallway and turned back to him, “By the way, if you‘re not too busy, you‘d better spend more time with Matthew. He always feels insecure. You must‘ve seen how happy he is today when playing with Tammy. He needs someone to stay with him. But letting all those servants taking care of him is not enough. He needs someone that he likes.”

She wanted to ask whether Wayne had to marry Ada Xavier because Matthew really seemed to dislike her. Besides that woman didn‘t look kind or nice. After hesitation, she decided not to say it out loud. It would be weird to ask this kind of question, and she was afraid that Wayne would mistake her concern and think she was interested in him. After all, this is his family affairs.

Seeing that Anna looked concerned for Matthew, he suddenly had an idea and said automatically, “Then you stay here and take care of him.”

His deep voice echoed in the spacious house. Anna was surprised and asked, “What… What do you mean?”

Wayne frowned slightly. He also seemed surprised by his words. He quickly looked away to avoid Anna‘s eyes and said in a calm voice, “I can pay you three times as much as your salary as the hotel manager.”

Anna was relieved when hearing this. She only took it as a joke, so she answered, half–joking, “I won‘t agree even if you pay me ten times as much as my salary. Considering the future of the career, I think a hotel manager is much more promising than taking care of your child. Mr. Wright, you may rest assured that I will focus on the job in the hotel. Don‘t test me in this way.”

Wayne didn‘t say more, his face unemotional.

After she left, Wayne closed his door and thought about the thing he just said. The mixed feelings came back to him, much stronger than when he saw her at home in the

iet her stay? I must be overthinking. How did it occur to me?

She‘s only one of my employees, a manager–in–training. Besides, I‘ve only known her for a few months. It‘s unreasonable to have this kind of idea. I would never do that

before

It‘s only because Matthew likes her and her daughter. That must be it.

Although he had found the answer, he lost sleep, tossing and turning for a whole night.

Meanwhile, Anna was having a great time.

After the shower, she looked in the mirror and used all the expensive skin care products in the guest room. Then she applied a luxury facial mask with such an exorbitant price that she decided to forget about her dignity and put the whole box in her bag. Then she lay comfortably on the bed with Tammy in her arms.

It‘s so comfy. “Mommy, do you feel comfortable?” Tammy, lying in her arms, asked her timely.

Anna nodded with the facial mask on her face, “Yeah. So I‘ve decided to take all the facial masks with me tomorrow.”

“See. Money is everything. As long as you marry into this family, all these will be yours!” Tammy gave her a look of encouragement and turned around to put the head on her chest, looking forward to the bright future.

Anna raised her eyebrows and poked Tammy on her forehead, “How can you trade me for these petty things? I guess I need to take you to see the world more in the future. You know, I used to be rich too.‘

Tammy covered her forehead and pursed her lips, “I know. You‘re not rich now because you have me. That‘s why I hope you can be rich again.”

The man, whom I call father and meet once or twice a year, told me that mommy was the daughter of a rich family. She couldn‘t go back because she gave birth to me, so I have to be a good daughter and never make mommy angry.

“So we‘re not rich. But we‘re living a happy life now.” Anna closed her eyes leisurely.

“Even if we‘re rich, we can only sleep on one bed in one bedroom. We can only have three meals a day. Besides, we have to watch out for other people‘s malicious scheme. Compared to the past, I prefer to live like this.”

Tammy heaved a sigh like an adult for her mother‘s lack of ambition. “Mommy, this is not right.” “Mommy.” Anna didn‘t answer her because she had already been far away in dreamland.

Tammy had no other choice. It seems unlikely that mommy will wake up to reality and seize the opportunity. I can only put my efforts on Uncle Wright!

The next day, Anna and Tammy stayed in Wayne‘s house for a whole day. Wayne drove them back home at night by himself, which surprised Anna.

“Thank you, Mr. Wright.”

After getting out of the car, Anna held Tammy‘s hand and stood at the gate of the apartment building.

Wayne stood in front the car and said with a deep powerful voice, “It‘s alright. You can

go.”

Tammy looked up at Wayne, and her voice resonated round the block, “Uncle Wright, will you and Matthew come to our apartment next weekend?”

Anna looked at her in surprise. This little girl. How can she invite other people to our home without my permission? But well, that is Wayne Wright. He must have a thousand things to do every day. It will be weird if he says yes.

“OK.” Wayne answered clearly while Anna was still thinking. Her astonished gaze fell on him.

Still calm and composed, he crouched down and touched Tammy‘s cheek, “I will take Matthew here next Saturday, OK?”

“OK!”

Tammy‘s face lit up. She put her arms around Wayne‘s neck and gave him a loud peck on the cheek, “Deal. You have to keep your word.”

Wayne froze for an instant, touching his face, and suddenly smiled, “I will.”

His smile was so soft that Anna bit back her scolding that sprang to her lips. She stared at him for a while and got lost in his smile.

She suddenly felt that Wayne had a good reason to remain unsmiling and austere. Women would line up to be his son‘s stepmother even though he didn‘t smile at all. If he did

smile, those women would even be willing to be his mistress.

Somehow, she suddenly thought of the hot half minute in the bathroom last night. She felt herself reddening.
