Anna played distractedly with the two children. She glanced toward the car at the cemetery entrance every now and then, feeling apprehensive.
After a while, the door of the car finally opemed. Then, Selina and Wayne got out of the car one after another. They looked calm and relaxed.
Anna was a little confused.
Selina waved toward Tammy and said, “Tammy, are you on summer vacation now? Well, how about you stay at my house for a few days?”
Tammy blinked her big eyes at Selina. She looked at Anna and Wayne separately and seemed to have an instant idea. She replied, “Sure! Selina, can I bring Matthew with me?”
Selina looked at Matthew for a moment and then felt puzzled.
She realized the boy looked somewhat similar to Anna and Tammy, even though he wasn‘t related to them.
Selina looked at Wayne and said, “You know, I can‘t decide myself. I can only bring Matthew along if I have his father‘s permission.”
Tammy immediately looked up at Wayne and winked, saying, “Mr. Wright, you would agree, right? If you and my mommy get married, my grandaunt Selina will be Matthew‘s grandaunt.”
Wayne smiled softly, looked at Selina, and said respectfully, “Yes, you can. Thank you, Aunt Selina.”
Hearing his words, Anna got goosebumps immediately. Then, Selina got into the car with two children.
As he watched the car drive away from the cemetery, Wayne heard Anna, who was standing beside him, mutter, “Why are you calling her ‘Aunt‘ so intimately? We haven‘t got married yet.”
“What did you say?” Wayne asked, turning his head to her. Actually, he knew what she meant.
Anna glanced at him as she changed the subject and said, “No, nothing. By the way, you don‘t have to worry about Matthew. Although my aunt doesn‘t have children, she is a reliable woman. I promise she‘ll take good care of them.”
Wayne, however, said nothing more but asked Anna, “Where are you going? I‘ll drive you there.”
“Oh, no, thanks. I already called a cab, and it should be there in a few minutes.” “Anna, I want you to know that the news isn‘t what you think it is.”
“Ah, what do you mean? Did you assume that I suspected that you were having an affair with Ada? I‘m not a fool, Wayne. You wouldn‘t have dated me if there was something between you and Ada.” Anna said directly
Wayne listened to her words very patiently. After she finished, he said calmly, “I know that Peace talked to Karl. He‘s such a fool! He thought I had deliberately put out this news. Then, he blurted it out to Peace and made you all believe his bulls**t. Is that what you think?”

At the mention of this, Anna immediately became huffy and said, “I know all about it! It‘s a little late for you to tell me the truth‘ now.”
“You know, Anna, I have never intended to use the trick with you in the first place.” Anna froze, and then looked at Wayne in a daze.
Wayne took two steps forward, pulled open the passenger door, and said, “Please get in, Anna. I‘ll give you an explanation for everything. If you think that I don‘t make sense, you can get out of the car anytime.”
As the car drove down the highway, Wayne told Anna everything about it. However, he sounded a little unnatural when he mentioned that Karl had given him those ideas.
“So, it was Karl‘s awful idea that you bought me all that stuff and ignored me on purpose?”
Wayne nodded and avoided Anna‘s gaze.
“Ah! You‘re such an int! Why did you even listen to him? Haven‘t you ever been in a relationship yourself? Did you think that he‘s an expert on women? I‘m telling you, he‘s really unreliable.”
They‘re such a perfect match, she thought.
