Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 149

149 Endless Desire

“After that incident, Wayne let this poor little guy live with him. Of course, he looked into this case, but he didn’t find anything. We just know that the babysitter on duty that day sneaked out. She does this often because Matthew is an obedient and well–behaved child. She had snuck out before, and nothing happened. But, Matthew had a fever that day.”

Karl remembered the details of the incident well. This was because he had never seen Wayne lose his temper that much since he had known him Although Wayne always said that he didn‘t care about children, and that he was forced to have children by his grandfather, Matthew was his child after all. Wayne became anxious immediately after Matthew was in danger.

“How did they punish the babysitter?” Ryan asked.

“She was sacked, of course. Wayne has picked some new maids since he‘s been living with Matthew. Whenever he traveled, he would bring Matthew with him. But, if Wayne can‘t take care of him, he would let Ada do that. Ada was, of course, very cautious. After all, she was the only woman who could be around Matthew at that time. You know, a lot of women wanted to marry Wayne and be Matthew‘s stepmother.”

Ryan said calmly. “Well, I don‘t think so. It was not until that incident than Ada got to be around Matthew and thus stay with Wayne. If you look at it this way, Ada benefited the most from the incident.”

Karl didn‘t hear the implication of his words and said, “Yes, that‘s what I meant.”

Anna immediately Ryan‘s implication that and asked, “Are you saying that Matthew‘s accident might had something to do with Ada?”

Everyone froze.

Ryan remained calm, saying, “Oh, I‘m just speculating. You all know that Wayne didn‘t like to have women around him. But, Ada was the only woman who could be with him. He didn‘t care much for her, but if she could benefit from this accident, then it all makes sense.”

After hearing his words, everyone felt a chill down their spine. None of them could imagine that someone could hurt a child and take advantage of him.

Anna thought of the psychological cases she had read about where people had traumatized children by scaring them. Some children could be so traumatized that they refused to communicate with anyone ever again.

Karl said in surprise, “Huh? What are you talking about? You‘re totally overthinking. I don‘t think Ada would have the guts to do something like this, nor would she dare lie to Wayne. She was an obscure actress two years ago, and no one supported her. So, Wayne asked her to pretend to be his girlfriend in front of Mr. Wright.”

“We all know that desires can be endless. She became a famous actress in just two years, and I think maybe it‘s because of Wayne.”

As everyone was silent, Ryan suddenly changed the subject and said, “Hey, why aren‘t you guys eating your food?”

After the meal, Karl took the opportunity while he and Ryan were alone in the kitchen

Ryan shrugged, looking at ease He said, “I‘m trying to find my memory. Maybe I‘m a student at the police academy, or I‘m naturally sensitive to what‘s going on around me. I was just saying, and I didn‘t mean anything. What‘s wrong?”

Ryan looked at him curiously and said, “What do you mean? What are you trying to tell me by saying something like that?”
