158 No Other Choices

“Ryan, try this salad! It’s delicious, and I bought it just for you.” “Thank you, Peace. I’ll try it.” Ryan nodded and then took the salad bowl Peace handed to

him.

Peace deliberately acted shy and said, “You’re welcome, dear.” Karl thought their intimate interaction was an eyesore. However, he didn’t say anything and just kept holding back. But, after a while, he finally couldn’t help himself.

He asked with hostility, “Hey, Ryan, is it true that you‘ve lost your memory? Well, even if it’s true, do you think it’s appropriate for you to do this? You are not working, and you‘re also being a freeloader all the time.”

Peace rolled her eyes at Karl and said, “It’s none of your business, for God‘s sake! Obviously, you‘re the one who came here to eat for free! Why are you saying that about Ryan?”

“Peace, why…”

Peace raised her hand and roared, “Shh, stop it. I don’t want to argue with you today, Karl. So, shut up.”

Karl was outraged.

When Anna saw that he wanted to continue arguing, she immediately interrupted and said, “All right, all right. I think you guys misunderstood something. You are all my guests, and none of you are freeloaders. I invited Ryan to dinner. He helped me out of the trouble, so I’m very grateful to him. I also invited Karl here. When I called Wayne, he happened to be there. So, I invited him to come along for dinner.”

Anna‘s words reminded Karl of the fact. An hour ago, he had been at the jewelry store and picked out a wedding ring for Peace. He didn’t expect to be here watching Peace flirting with another man. Therefore, he immediately became angrier when he realized that Peace didn’t care that he was there.

“The chicken wings should be ready. Excuse me, I’ll go check on them.” Ryan said abruptly and then walked away. He acted as if he didn’t even notice that they were fighting over him.

“I’ll go with you.” Peace immediately put down her fork and followed him.

Karl sat for a few seconds, and then slammed the spoon in his hand down hard on the table. After that, he walked to the kitchen as well Anna and Wayne were the only ones left at the table. Then, they looked at each other in surprise.

“Nothing’s going to happen, is it?” Anna asked nervously. “Huh? Who are you worried about?”

Anna said, “I’m worried about Ryan, of course. Did you see the look on Karl’s face? I’m so scared that he’s going to hit Ryan.”

“Oh, don’t worry. I think that if they fight, Ryan probably won’t lose.”

“Is that so? I don’t think Ryan looks like he would fight. After all, he’s still a kid!” Wayne frowned unhappily after hearing this. He seemed to think that the word “kid” had

nothing to do with Ryan.

Ryan was a strong man who was six-foot-tall, and it seemed that he worked out a lot. Meanwhile, Karl was a man who only drank and had fun in his free time and didn‘t know how to fight at all.

However, Ryan had the most attractive and innocent face. So, the female staff in the hotel were very fond of him. They often cleaned Ryan’s room in the hotel and sometimes, they even cleaned it ten times a day.

So, looking at how worried Anna looked, Wayne shook his head resignedly and thought that she was overthinking.

They didn’t eat much that night. For the next hour, everyone kept preventing Peace and Karl from continuing to fight. But they couldn’t stop the two, no matter how hard they tried.

Finally, Peace and Karl offered to leave Anna’s house and go somewhere else to fight. After they left, the room was finally quiet. It was already midnight when all the guests had left. Anna dropped the two children off at the Wrights’ house and asked Peter to care for them. Anna and Wayne were left alone in the house.

Anna was just putting all the plates in the sink when she felt someone hugging her from behind her.

Then she exclaimed shyly, “Hey, Wayne, stop it. It tickles.”
