168 Blood Is Thicker Than W 168 Blood Is Thicker Than Water
Charlotte stared at the woman in front of her for a moment and immediately said, “Oh, I know you. You‘re Ada”
Of course, Charlotte knew her. There were not many women around Wayne, and Ada was the most special one. She was a famous actress, so many people knew her.
Charlotte always thought that Ada was her real rival before she returned home, because she knew Ada had stayed by Wayne‘s side for six years
“Yeah, right. But, I hope you didn’t misunderstand me.” Ada said calmly as if she had expected to be recognized
Charlotte frowned and said bluntly, “Hey, what the hell are you going to say? I know you and Wayne have been dated before so. I don‘t think I should believe anything you say.”
“Oh, I really wish you could say the same thing after hearing my words.”
Ada blinked, and then her eyes became mysterious and meaningful She said, “You may already know that I have been with Wayne for more than six years. We planned to get married some time ago, and we even chose a hotel for the wedding. Well, do you know about this?”
Charlotte glanced at her with an unpleasant expression,
Ada‘s gaze immediately turned somber. In a low voice, she asked in a low voice, “Anyway. do you know why Wayne suddenly regretted and called off the wedding?”
“Because of Anna?” Charlotte asked
Hearing this, Ada gave a contemptuous laugh. She said, “Oh, no. Charlotte, you‘ve known Wayne longer than I have. Do you think he would call off a wedding for a woman he just met a few months ago?”
Then, staring intently at Charlotte, she said, “It‘s because of Matthew.” Charlotte felt her heart skip a beat, and then couldn‘t help but clench her fists.
She knew Wayne had a son. She had heard that Wayne had a son when she had been married to the French man for a year. However, she had asked many people about it but still had no idea who the mother of that child was. Besides, she had heard that Wayne cherished that kid the most
and would take him wherever he went
“Charlotte, I‘m sure you know how important Matthew is to Wayne. So, are you aware that Matthew is particularly fond of Anna? That‘s why Wayne considered marrying her.”
“What exactly are you going to say?” Charlotte felt that this woman was not getting to the point at all with all the talk.
I certainly knew that if Wayne was going to get married, then his future wife had to get along with his son. Even if I havn‘t heard of anything about it, I know Wayne. Charlotte thought to herself.
Ada said meaningfully and slowly, “All in all, blood is thicker than water.”
It was the weekend, and Anna had just picked up her two children from the Wrights‘ house when her colleague told her they needed to change their shifts. So, Anna had to work on
Saturday
Anna had no other choice but to take the children to the hotel with her. As before, she asked
the maitre d’ to take them to the children’s lounge.
“Kids, I‘m taking a lunch break at 12 noon I‘ll come over at that time and take you to lunch. Until then, try not to wander off, okay? And, don‘t leave the hotel with anyone.”
“Ah, I know! Mommy, just go to work! I‘ll take care of Matthew.” Tammy said sweetly.
Anna pinched her little cheeks and warned, “Hey, do you think you can take care of Matthew? Don‘t cause me trouble. And don‘t persuade Matthew to walk around with you, you hear me?”
Tammy immediately broke away from Anna‘s hand. She pouted and sat down unhappily on the couch, complaining. “Ouch, that hurts! Mommy, you‘re going to ruin my face!”
Anna didn‘t continue talking She looked at the mischievous Tammy and then at the well–behaved and quiet Matthew
Then She stroked Matthew‘s head and said softly, “Matthew, honey, can you take care of Tammy? Also, take care of yourself, okay?”
“This is it. And, we should compensate customers who stayed in at that time, whether they have filed complaints or not. We should give an extra six months of free credit to the customers who complained.”
“Also, we have to tell them how much we appreciate their advice. When drafting instructions or talking to customers, be sure to explain to them clearly. We don‘t want the customers to think that we are giving them hush money. If that happens, it‘ll be counterproductive…”
