Wayne shook Anna’s hand off angrily.

“Hey! What are you doing? You scared the hell out of me!” Anna said as she glanced at him with dissatisfaction.

“You broke up with me. So, why did you touch me?” Wayne said indifferently.

Anna, on the other hand, didn’t appear to mind it. She said, “Well, how else am I supposed to unlock your phone then? Will you

please stop being so fussy?”

“I thought maybe you could ask me what my password is. You know, there’s more than one way to unlock my phone.”

Anna was dumbfounded for a moment. She locked his phone as if she was annoyed and then asked him, “Okay, fine. So, tell me

your password.”

Wayne paused for a second, then replied briefly, “It’s your birthday.”

Anna was stunned.

She believed she and Wayne were both pretty sensible people, and neither of them was good at relationships. As a result, unlike

other women, she never examined her boyfriend’s phone or email. She did this out of respect for his privacy and to avoid intruding into

his personal space.

Therefore, she had no idea that the password for Wayne’s phone was her birthday until now.

They both stopped talking. All they could hear was the waves crashing against the reef and the wind howling through the mountains

out of the window.

Anna somewhat couldn’t believe his words. Still, she lowered her head and dialed her birthday into the phone.

A few seconds later, Wayne’s phone was unlocked.

Then it immediately occurred to Anna that she had spent her birthday this year with Wayne. He went to her mother’s tombstone

with her, and they walked out of the graveyard hand in hand. When Selina spoke to him, he was quite sure and assured.

Anna had no idea what they were talking about in the car. Moreover, both Wayne and Selina were reluctant to tell her.

“Where are we going?” Wayne asked as if he wasn’t angry anymore.

“Oh, to Sea Town,” Anna snapped back to reality and replied. As she looked at him, it hit her that she had just been about to call

Peace and tell her that she was fine.

The engine screamed louder than the roaring wind. Anna rolled her eyes at him after staring at his phone for a long time. She said,

“you don’t even have a signal on your phone! So, why did you give it to me in the first place?”

Wayne frowned and asked, “Did I say a word about my phone having a signal?”

Oh! Since you’re rich, I assumed you had special phones with GPS tracking systems.” Anna said.

Wayre thought she was joking and asked, “So, Miss Gabriel, do you think we rich people need to drive ourselves?”

Just as they were binng, the car suddenly bumped a few times and slowed down. Wayne then pulled it over to the side of the

quad they had just wonten into the car a minute before. Anna could even see her smashed up car as she turned around,

After hearing his snarl, Anna eventually calmed down. When she saw Wayne’s dissatisfied expression, she felt a wave of regret

washing over her.

When she saw him in the midst of nowhere, she was so thrilled that there was no way to express her happiness and disbelief. Anna

also couldn’t tell Wayne that she was being aloof in front of him since she didn’t want to lose her dignity.

Anna realized that she couldn’t tell him that she had always thought of him was a dispensable scourge to her. But since they had

broken up, she had often missed him in every lonely midnight.

After a long silence, Wayne appeared to have finally calmed down. He said, “Well, let’s stay here for the night. There will be trucks

coming through here tomorrow morning, and the truck drivers can help us.”

Wayne looked at Anna again after finishing and said, “You can rest in the back if you’re tired.”

Wayne had modified his car, so Anna could build a spacious makeshift bed by putting the chair in the rear seat down.

“Oh,” Anna said awkwardly, and then stepped out of the car and got into the back.

When Wayne tossed her his suit jacket which was tainted with the fresh aroma of his perfume, Anna had just finished putting the

seats down.

Anna froze. She clutched his jacket for a long time and said in a daze, “Oh, thanks.”

Wayne hummed softly and leaned back in the driver’s seat with his arms folded. Then, he closed his eyes. And then, Anna lay back

in her seat.

The sunroof on the car was opened. Through a layer of glass, Anna could see the full moon in the sky. The moon appeared to be a

hole in the sky being poked by someone, revealing the limitless secrets beyond the huge universe.

“How did Peace get in touch with you?” Anna suddenly asked. She did so, in fact, just to see if Wayne was asleep.

She heard her own voice echoing in the car. Wayne leaned back in his seat with his back to her and didn’t move. Just when she

thought Wayne was asleep, he said in a somewhat muffled voice, “Karl called me.”

Anna didn’t even anticipate that Peace would have the nerve to call Karl again.

What was going on between them seemed to irritate Wayne. He said bluntly,”I’ll let it slide because she was in a rush to reach you right now. But, if Peace does decide to end her relationship with Karl, she should cut her ties with Karl completely. You know, the fact that
