Anna froze and couldn‘t say a word for a long time. After a while, she stammered, “I… I‘m going to see Tammy.”
Seeing her run upstairs in fluster, Wayne stroked the jade leisurely, with his serious expression slowly turning into a teasing smile.
Don‘t take the one–night stand seriously? It seems that you care more about it than me, thought.

At Seriel International Airport.
“I‘ve arrived here and I‘m at the baggage reclaim now. Achoo!” Peace sent a voice message and sneezed. She sniffed and continued, “Let‘s talk later. I‘ll get my suitcase first.”
On the carousel, her red suitcase was getting closer and closer to her.
When Peace put away her mobile phone and was about to get her suitcase, someone easily got the suitcase down the carousel for her.
“You‘re welcome.” Before Peace could say thank you, she heard a familiar and annoying voice.
Peace swallowed back the words on the tip of her tongue and took a deep breath. Then she raised her head, squinted at the man in front of her, and said bluntly, “Did I ask you for help? Why are you always following me?”
Karl seemed to have been used to her bad attitude. He said calmly, “It‘s raining outside. Is anyone coming to pick you up? If not, I can give you a lift.”
“No, thanks,” Peace said as she glanced at him. Then she turned around and left with her suitcase.
Karl then followed her and said, “Miss Brooks, I think there‘s a misunderstanding between us and we need to have a talk. Do you know how much trouble I have suffered because of the matter at the airport before?”
Peace ignored him and walked towards the parking lot with her suitcase while talking on the phone.
“Hey, did you hear me?” Karl walked up to her, blocked her way, and showed her the screen of his phone, “Look at this.”
“You are so annoying!” Peace said angrily. With one sweep of her hand, both of their phones dropped to the ground at the same time.
“I‘m not interested in everything about you at all. Whether what happened before is a misunderstanding or not, we can‘t turn the clock back. I don‘t want to argue with you. And now, get out of my way”
After saying that, she picked up the phone, waved to the person who came to pick her up, and walked away quickly.
Looking at her receding figure, Karl frowned speechlessly.

is she so irrational?
Depressed, he picked up the phone on the ground. Then he used his fingerprint to unlock the screen but failed.
“What is this?” Karl stared at a huge green cactus on the lock screen and his face
changed.
The phone in his hand was not his at all.
Peace was checking in at the front desk of the hotel when “her phone” vibrated in her pocket.
Without seeing the caller ID, she answered the phone directly.
“You finally answered my phone!” A sharp female voice came from the other end of the line immediately
Startled, Peace quickly took the phone away from her ear.
“This is the final warning. If you don‘t marry me, I‘ll not only sue you but also post the video on the Internet. I‘ll let everyone know that you‘re a shameless r****t. By that time, your reputation will be ruined and even if you plead for mercy, I won‘t forgive you!”
“Who are you? You called the wrong person,” Peace frowned and said. “Who am I? Don‘t you know who I am? Who are you? Where‘s Karl? Put him on the phone!” Karl? Peace was confused and took a look at the caller ID with a frown. Alice? Who‘s Alice?
Peace‘s face suddenly changed and she suddenly remembered that half an hour ago in the parking lot, her phone and Karl‘s phone fell to the ground at the same time.
Oh no. I picked up the wrong phone!
……
When Anna finished her shower and came out of the bathroom, Tammy had been asleep.
Seeing Tammy lying in the middle of the bed with her arms and leg stretched, Anna shook her head helplessly and moved Tammy aside.
“Tammy, do you want me to sleep on the ground?”
Tammy turned over and was still in deep sleep. Suddenly she began to mumble in a sweet voice. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
“Daddy…”
Hearing that, Anna, who was tucking Tammy in, paused and tightened her grip on the quilt subconsciously.
It seems that Tammy wants a father so much. No wonder she always tries to bring Wayne and me together. She must hope that she can have a complete family like other children, Anna thought with mixed feelings.
But Wayne… and I? She imagined the scene in which the two of them were together. The next moment, she shook her head violently.
No, no, no. How is it possible that we are together? But she couldn‘t stop imagining and countless scenes flooded into her mind. Anna was very
sleepy but she couldn‘t fall asleep and her mouth felt completely dry.
After tossing and turning in the bed for a long time, she got out of bed and went out to get some water.
The lights in the house had been turned off. For fear of waking up the others, Anna groped her way to the living room. When she came to the table, she poured a glass of water for herself and then picked up a few small packets of cookies from the table.
The dinner was hearty, but she felt uneasy and had no appetite when having dinner so she didn‘t have much food. At this moment, she was very hungry.
When she turned around and was about to go back to her room, she saw a black figure in front of her
“Oh my God!” Anna screamed and fell back on the chair. Half of the water in the glass spilled.
“It‘s me.” In the darkness, Wayne said and then turned on the light.
“You scared me,” Anna said as she patted her chest and gasped for breath. She stared at Wayne and said angrily, “What are you doing here?”
Wayne didn‘t answer her but just looked at her with a faint smile.
Anna then realized that she was at his house and it was inappropriate for her to talk to him with such a rude attitude.
What was more embarrassed was that she was holding a few packets of cookies in her arms, looking like a thief. And a few packets of cookies fell, rolled on the ground, and finally stopped at Wayne‘s feet
“Well…” Anna tried to find an excuse. “I‘m afraid that Tammy will be hungry in the middle of the night, so I came to get some cookies for her. I hope you don‘t mind.”
Wayne gazed at her with a meaningful look, without saying anything.
Why is she asking for my permission on such a trifle? Am I that stingy in her eyes? He thought.
Anna couldn‘t help clearing her throat and said, “I‘m going back to my room now.” After she took a few steps, Wayne‘s voice came from behind. “I‘m hungry, too,” he said in a low voice.
Anna was stunned and wondered if she had misheard. She turned to look at him and asked, “Pardon?”
“I‘m here to get some food. Is there anything to eat?” Wayne asked.
Anna then was sure that she hadn‘t misheard. At the same time, she was still a little surprised and confused.
Did he also come here for food? He‘s hungry? I remember that he ate a lot at dinner.
Though she was confused, she didn‘t speak what she thought. Besides, she breathed a sigh of relief because what Wayne had said eased the embarrassment.
“Yes. Do you want to eat spaghetti? There should be food ingredients in the fridge,” she said. Since both of them were hungry, she decided to cook some food so that they could fill their stomachs.
Wayne nodded, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
Anna then put down the biscuits, rolled up her sleeves, and went into the kitchen to cook spaghetti
Amaid, who heard the noise in the kitchen, came from her room, Wayne turned his head and gave her a warning look. Seeing this, the maid immediately covered her ears and went back to her room
