217 Get out of My House
Wayne looked at Anna and said, “It’s late at night, and you two have been alone in your house for quite some time. And I wonder what you two were doing.”
Anna stood a little steadier, held the table and frowned, “Wayne, please calm down. Jasper and I are really just friends, and nothing happened between us. He had just returned from America and helped me at my father’s funeral. He gave me a ride home, so I invited him upstairs for a cup of coffee to thank him. Do you think I did something wrong? It doesn’t matter how much I explain it to you if you don’t trust me.”
Anna figured that Wayne wasn’t a narrow-minded person, so he wouldn’t mind this. She didn’t expect him to lose his temper like that after seeing Jasper.
“Really? Are you two really just friends? Could you repeat that to me?” “Yes, we’re really just friends.”
Wayne clenched his fist, and then his expression turned gloomy. He then found a picture on his phone and slammed it down heavily on the table. The phone clashed with the marble table, making a loud sound that echoed through the room.
Anna’s expression suddenly changed as she saw what was on his screen. “You ran a background check on me?!” Anna exclaimed.
It was information about Anna when she was in the U.S., as well as proof of marriage and the family portrait with Jasper and Tammy.
“If I hadn’t looked into you, how would I have known that you are married to Jasper? And I didn’t expect you guys to be still in touch now!”
Wayne then said mockingly, “So, in your eyes, men are just some tools that you can use to have s*x with and have children with. Well, it seems that you treat your friends’ really well.”
Hearing that, Anna’s face turned pale, and she couldn’t believe what she had just heard. She said, “Wayne, what are you talking about?!”
“What? Anna, are you still playing dumb now? I finally know that the ex-husband you were talking about is Jasper! No wonder you never told me about him! I thought your marriage was a big failure and that you were hurt by him. Now, I finally realize that I was an i***t who was fooled by you!” Wayne said angrily, and his voice echoed through the room.
Anna immediately became anxious. She defended herself by saying, “That’s not the case! Wayne, please calm down and listen to me, okay? Jasper and I are just a nominal couple… We just…”
“You just what?”
“The only reason I married him was to get a green card! That way, I could legally live in the United States.”
Anna said aloud anxiously. Although she was annoyed with Wayne’s angry reaction, she didn’t want him to misunderstand her anymore. So, she felt that she had to explain that matter clearly.
To Anna’s surprise, Wayne’s smile became even more contemptuous and indifferent. He said, “Really? You really can do that for a green card? Well, it seems that you can do anything for money.”
After a while, Wayne took a big breath, as if trying to calm down. He said, “I hope you’ll think about what you’re going to say next time before you lie. This is so ridiculous! You said that you and Jasper were just friends and that you got married just for the green card. So, who is Tammy’s father? How many men have you been married to?”
Anna instantly felt a chill running down her spine and all over her body. She closed her eyes and knew she couldn’t control her rage any more.
Anna thought to herself, Wayne, you‘re the last person on the planet who get to ask me who Tammy‘s father is like that because YOU ARE her father! You got me pregnant without even asking for my permission! And now you‘re acting like you‘re the victim. How dare you?!
However, Wayne had no idea what was going on in Anna’s mind.
Anna became more and more annoyed and angry as she raised her clenched fist out of frustration and humiliation.
Wayne grunted coldly, and then said, “Are you angry? It’s because I revealed the truth, isn’t it? I always thought of you as a strong woman, Anna. And I wasn’t expecting you to beat me because you couldn’t think of a way to make up for your lie.”
Anna immediately struggled to break free from his grasp. However, she didn’t expect Wayne’s grip on her hand to become tighter. She said, “Wayne, you’re such a jerk! Let go of me!”
Anna became enraged and punched Wayne in the chest with her other hand. “Get the fuck out of my house or I’ll call the police!” she exclaimed.
“What did you just say?” After taking a few steps back, Wayne asked in disbelief, his eyes wide open.
Sneering, Wayne thought to himself, so, Anna, is this what you think of me? Am I only a tool to you that can be dumped right after you get tired of me? You‘re the first woman that I‘ve ever fallen in love with, and I believed that you were the one for me. But it turns out that I was so wrong!
Gosh! How could I be so stupid, thinking that a woman like you would love me back wholeheartedly? Of course, you won‘t love me back like I love you! After all, you‘re still married to Jasper and you have a daughter with him!
But how... how could you be so cruel to me, Anna?! You knew that I loved you... YOU KNEW IT!
