Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 240

240 Am I Interrupting You?

After a while, Anna calmed down. As she reflected on the conflict between them two, she felt that they needed to talk it out. After all, they could have worked it out properly and had a peaceful breakup.

“To be honest, I went there just to see what he wanted to do. Even if you didn’t go there, I wouldn’t have gone into his room directly like a fool. Well, I think that someone may have told him to do so. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sabotaged my deal with Joan’s group just because he wanted to go out with me. You know, he didn’t have to bother to get himself into so much trouble.”

Anna believed she had made her point very clearly. After that, she turned around and watched Wayne carefully. She noticed that he kept frowning and didn’t seem to be listening to her.

Anna kept going, “So, if you were there because you were concerned about me, then you could just tell me. You know, I’d definitely appreciate you doing that. We don’t have to fight, and we can work things out together. That way, we can still be friends later.”

Wayne cut her off with a chilly and irritated voice, “That’s enough! No more bullshit, Anna. Just go!”

Anna frowned and explained, “Oh, I just think it’s so bad that we haven’t had a talk after that incident. Wayne, we need to communicate calmly like adults.”

She deliberately did not say what that “thing” was because she didn’t dare to face it head-on.

At the same time, Wayne’s expression also changed after hearing that word. He frowned and fell silent.

“I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you the whole truth earlier. But I felt that I didn’t have to explain it since my marriage to Jasper was nothing more than a deal. If Tammy and I didn’t have our green cards, we would be illegal immigrants. In that case, we would not only have to worry about police officers knocking on our door, but also about becoming illegal immigrants.”

“Oh, I see. So, that was why you married a random man for a green card?” Wayne inquired indifferently since he was still perplexed as to why Anna was acting this way. However, compared to earlier, he was calmer now that Anna had taken the initiative to bring

up this issue.

Anna denied it and explained, “No, I chose him for a reason, Jasper was not looking for a relationship and was a total workaholic. He was short of money then, and I needed a green card. So, we took advantage of each other. We didn’t live together after getting married and only saw one another once a year around Christmas.”

Of course, she knew what Wayne was thinking. In fact, she understood where he was coming from because everyone would care about who his lover had dated before. Besides,

wayne knew she hadn’t yet filed for divorce from Jasper.

Anna had planned to tell Wayne the whole truth when he asked about Jasper. She didn’t, though, because Wayne said many hurtful things to her then and didn’t seem to trust her at all.

The look in Wayne’s eyes was of confusion and disbelief. He asked while clenching his fist, “So, your marriage was a sham?”

Anna nodded solemnly. She thought they had misunderstood each other because they said things they didn’t mean to in a fit of anger. Besides, Anna could totally tell from this that she and Wayne might not be perfect for each other.

Wayne stared at her for a while as if thinking about this “ridiculous” fact. After some while, he finally appeared frustrated. He lowered his head silently for a considerable amount of time after carefully bending down and putting his long, thin fingers in his hair.

When Anna saw Wayne’s reaction, she felt weird. She said, “I’ve explained this to Karl before. Didn’t he tell you that?”

Wayne slowly looked up and tried to stop himself from getting angry. He replied firmly, “No.”

His words were short but resentful, making Anna’s heart skip a beat. She felt at that moment that she may have gotten Karl into big trouble.

He felt shivers running down his spine after Wayne gave him a threatening stare. He said, “Oh, I’m sorry, I forgot to get something. So..”

2/3 However, Anna stopped him and said, “Well, I know what you mean, and you don’t have to do that. It’s pretty late now, so I’m leaving.”

Wayne immediately said, “I’ll give you a ride, Anna.”

Anna glanced at his chest and refused, saying, “Well, thanks, but you don’t have to. The doctor said you’re not recovering very well. So, you’d better stay here and have a good rest. My hotel is just around the corner, so I’ll walk back there. Uh, we’ll see each other again.”
