Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 147

147 I Lost It Six Years Ago

“Yeah, what‘s wrong?” Anna asked curiously when she saw this look on Wayne‘s face.

After Wayne took the earring out of the jewelry box and looked at it for a while, he seemed to be sure of something. He then went into the study.

He had an old black and white photo in his hand when he came out. It looked like it was taken in the last century, and the corners were frayed.

The photo was of a young woman about eighteen or nineteen years old, who was in a beautiful dress. She looked very aloof and had a gold necklace with two emeralds, one was small while the other was large. Although the photo was a bit old, the smooth outline of the emerald could still be clearly seen.

“Who is this?” Anna asked in disbelief.

Wayne took another look at that earring, and then put down the photo and said, “This woman is my grandmother, and what she is wearing around her neck is an heirloom from her mother‘s family. The emeralds set on that necklace were two pieces; one was large and one was small. After World War II began, the Germans occupied my family‘s house. So, she sold the small one for money.”

Anna looked at the earring in her hand and realized that the emerald gemstone was very similar to the one in the photo. She asked, “Is this that one?”

Wayne nodded.

Neither of them had expected that emerald to be sold abroad, and then collected by Jennifer, and later be given to Anna.

“What about the other one?” Anna asked afterward.

Wayne frowned and said, “Grandpa gave me that gemstone, and I made a necklace out of it. Unfortunately, I lost it six years ago.”

Anna froze and couldn‘t help but clench her fists, looking slightly nervous.

Maybe he‘s talking about that necklace I pulled off his neck back then. Anna thought to herself.

“Hey, Anna, what‘s wrong?”

Wayne’s voice snapped her back to attention. She was a little distracted and said casually. “Nothing, I‘m just surprised this earring is related to your family.”

“That‘s fate, I guess.” Wayne looked a little happy. This was the first time in his life that he had ever said the word ‘fate‘ in his life. He used to think that fate was nonsense and not worth mentioning

Anna had mixed feelings. After she said goodbye to Pete, she took the two children home. She thought about the necklace all the way home

This is probably a joke that God is playing on me, she thought.

The necklace seemed to be a constant reminder of what had happened to her six years ago. It was not only a clue for her to find her son but also a reminder that she still had secrets to hide

When Anna moved, she put the carrings in the sale along with the necklace As she locked the sale, it seemed to mean that she would never think about that past again

Then, she breathed a sigh of relief

Anna spent the afternoon putting the house in order. Then she picked up her two children from Peace’s house

“You‘re going to live here from now on Do you like it?” Anna said to Tammy

Tammy was so excited She walked around the house, opened every door to look in every room, and exclaimed, “Wow, it‘s beautiful! It‘s so much bigger than Aunt Peace‘s house! I like my

However, Anna found that the house was fully furnished with all the furniture and some household items Tammy‘s room was even painted pink. There were many toys inside the room, and the closet was full of brand new clothes.

Anna had to take the initiative and ask, “Do you like it here? The furniture here is a little simpler, and that‘s because Selina didn‘t know you were going to live here. I will buy new furniture for you in a few days. You can tell me if you want anything, honey.”

Anna raised her eyebrows and said, “Well, you can switch houses with me. I’ve been living in your house for a long time, and I‘m used to it. It‘s since I call your house home, this is your home too.”
