Chapter 104 Why Did You Lie Just Now
Anna felt that she had no way to refuse. So, she had to friend Jennie. Only then did Jennie smile as happily as a child.
Anna couldn’t imagine how such a woman could do something like scamming the Wrights’ property and cheating on Wayne’s father.
Anna showed a puzzled expression but held back from asking her what had happened.
“Then, I’ll go first.” Anna put the noodles and side dishes on her plate and nodded politely toward Jennie.
She had just walked upstairs and placed the plate on the table when Wayne came out of the bathroom. He was wrapped in a bathrobe, his wet hair was dripping down his neck, and there was
a water stain on the bathroom door.
Anna felt her throat tighten after seeing such a scene. It took her a long time to come back to her senses, and then she coughed awkwardly.
“Have some noodles. I just made it myself.” | Wayne glanced at her, then at the noodles, and nodded.
As he sat down on the couch, Anna felt like a small puff of hot air was coming at her and enveloping her. It made her feel uncomfortable, so she moved to the side.
The room was quiet, except for Wayne eating his noodles. Anna listened to the sound of the rainstorm outside the window and thought the sound of him eating made the room seem cozy
Anna inexplicably held her breath. After making sure Wayne wasn’t paying attention to her, she secretly lowered her head and slowly let her breath out.
“You can sleep in the bed at night.” She suddenly heard Wayne say that.
Anna froze and felt that the good news came so suddenly. Her eyes lit up, and she asked, “Really?”
“Yes.”
Wayne‘s low voice was a little teasing. He seemed to have forgotten what had just happened between them
Anna felt extremely happy. She thought that the bowl of noodles she had made was worth it because she could exchange it for a night of good sleep. However, she was careless and forgot that Wayne was going to let her sleep on the bed anyway.
Wayne looked at her flattered expression and felt resigned. Did she think I would let a woman like her sleep on the couch? He thought.
Anna was cheerful and attentive and said, “I’ll help you make the couch. I’ve just lain down on it, and it’s enough for me. It’s even more comfortable than the bed.”
Wayne’s expression changed when he saw this attentive attitude of hers. He said, “Since it’s so comfortable, why don’t you sleep on it tonight?”
Anna immediately refused and said with a smile, “No, I’ll sleep on the bed. After all, as a man,
you have to act like a gentleman, right?”
She said and walked towards the bed, stretching her back “Aren’t you going to take a shower?” She heard Wayne, who was standing behind her,
asking.
Anna felt the air freeze as she stopped. She turned her back on Wayne and forced herself to say, “Of course, I’m taking a shower. I’ll go get my clothes first.”
She had planned to skip showering for the rest of the night, lest she got into any more trouble. She thought that Wayne had asked that on purpose If she didn’t take a shower, he could make fun of her for being sloppy
Anna hesitated because she knew that Jennie had given her the lunchbox, not because she was worried they would be hungry. But somehow, she took it when she saw Jennie’s pleading and sincere eyes.
