Chapter 20 You Asked Too M… Chapter 20 You Asked Too Much

Nas

Wayne was surprised to hear someone shouting at him. He was stunned to see the little girl waving at him. She appeared so familiar.

As he hesitated, Matthew broke free and ran towards Tammy. Wayne just followed.

Anna tried to cover her face but felt something tugging her leg. She looked down and saw a pair of big round eyes. Matthew hugged her leg and was overjoyed to see her.

“Sir! We’ve met!” Tammy looked happily at Wayne. Wayne then recalled the scene at the airport and his expression warmed up significantly “How do you know each other?” Anna was puzzled.

“He was the one who gave me the box of chocolates.” Tammy explained, “What a coincidence to meet him here. Mommy, do you know him?”

Anna tensed up and replied, “This… he is mommy‘s boss.” Wayne stood beside the table and asked, “She‘s your daughter?” “Yes.”

On hearing this, Wayne was inexplicably upset that she was married and had a child. He asked, “You’ve recovered?”

Anna felt guilty and then looked at Matthew hoping to use him as an excuse, “… my arm‘s movement is still restricted.”

“Then rest a while more, there‘s no hurry to return to work.” Wayne‘s reply surprised her. When did he become so understanding?

“Mommy’s arm has recovered, she can go back to work tomorrow!” Tammy interrupted. “Tammy!” Anna glared at her for ruining her plans.

Wayne did not take it to heart and said, “Thanks for saving Matthew. I didn‘t have the time to visit you at the hospital. I heard you have left the hospital and I wanted to visit you together with Matthew to show our gratitude.”

“No need.” Anna shook her head, “You had already given me the sick leave. Furthermore, it was my duty to ensure the safety of the hotel guests.”

Wayne looked at Tammy and said, “Despite your sick leave, don‘t forget our 3–month bet. I don’t wish to delay it.”

Anna was stunned. What did he mean by not delaying it? Then the sick leave was wasting her precious time. Her good impressions of Wayne vanished immediately

This man really knew how to ruin someone‘s hopes.

“Matthew, let‘s go. Let‘s not interrupt their lunch.” But Matthew frantically held onto Anna‘s arm and refused to let go.

Wayne had no choice but to sit down. Anna felt amused to see him losing out to his son,
