Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 222

222 Dress Her Nice

Anna dialed Selina’s number after Scott and Randal had left. She asked, “Hello, Auntie Selina. Where’s Tammy?”

“We had just finished eating our lunch. And Joe is trying to let her take a nap.” Selina replied, and her voice sounded much softer than before.

“What? Uncle Joe? Doesn’t he have to work?”

“Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that your uncle retired last week. He travelled to London this week for a jazz event. But he returned as soon as he learned Tammy was coming to stay with us. I knew he wasn’t good at getting along with kids, so I told him to let me take care of Tammy. And he said he was sure he could make it. What a fool!”

Anna laughed and said, “Uncle Joe just retired, so he’s probably looking for something to keep himself busy.”

Selina also laughed and said, “You’re right. By the way, there’s a family gathering this Friday night. There won’t be too many people there, just us and Bruce’s family. You should come too, Anna.”

Anna paused for a bit before responding, “Is it necessary for me to go? Well, we haven’t seen one other for a long time.”

“What do you mean? Don’t you want to spend time with us anymore?” “Oh, no, that’s not what I mean.” “Okay, then you must come. I’ll pick you up at your place on Friday.”

Anna felt that she couldn’t refuse Selina’s invitations any longer. Moreover, she realized that she didn’t have any family members other than these two uncles and their families.

In fact, she knew why Selina invited her.

Selina arrived on time at Anna’s house on Friday night to pick her up and drive her to the hotel for dinner. Her black Rolls Royce was parked next to Anna’s apartment.

Tammy hugged Anna as soon as she stepped into the car. She said, “Hi, Mommy! What took you so long? I’m starving!”

Anna smiled, stroked her hair, and said, “Well, sit in your seat, honey. The car is about to start.”

Anna greeted her uncle, who was sitting in the passenger seat in front of her, once she was seated.

“Mommy, look at my new dress! Do you like it? It has diamonds on it!” Tammy exclaimed as she lifted the hem of her dress to show Anna when she sat down.

Tammy wore a little blue yarn skirt and a black leather jacket. There were two brown leather shoes on her feet and white socks with lace. Anna had recently watched a lot of Fall/Winter runways of fashion brands because she was beginning a clothes company. She guessed that the outfit was the latest clothes from Bottega Veneta. She had no idea how

much Tammy’s dress was worth, and she saw that she was holding a Gucci handbag.

“You don’t have to buy such expensive clothes for Tammy, Aunt Selina.”

Selina shook her head, “Tammy is your only daughter, so you should let her wear nice clothes. You should strive to spend much money on your daughter if you have one. Otherwise, the lads will think that dating her is easy.”

At that moment, Joe said, “Yes, I agree with Selina. We aren’t coddling her in any way. We just want Tammy to be happy.”

“Aunt Selina, you shouldn’t make life so easy for her.” Anna said.

“If you want to talk to me about how to grow up in a stressful environment, then you can stop talking. My parents used to give me a hard time when I was a kid, and that’s why! have a weird temper.” Selina said.

Then, Anna froze.

Selina, of course, heard what he said. She rolled her eyes and said, “You know, someone even abandoned his wife and kids! Is that rare? Well, luckily, he got exactly what he deserved.”

Selina was obviously irritated by his attitude. She then furrowed her eyebrows and seemed to lose her temper.

Anna immediately said before she got angry, “Okay, Aunt Selina, it’s all right. We don’t need to bring it up again now that it’s over. Tammy’s a big girl now, isn’t she? She actually knows what’s going on.”

Everyone in the city knew that the Gabriel Group had run out of money after Allie’s death. Furthermore, the news had made every media outlet’s front page. And everyone was speculating about why this occurred, and why the tax office looked into it. Furthermore,
