Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 243

243 I’ve Never Broken Up With You

When Wayne heard Anna say it, he felt like he had been stabbed with a knife. His expression turned grim as he then asked unhappily, “What did you just say?”

Anna raised an eyebrow and then said boldly, “You know, although our marriage is a deal, we are still husband and wife. So yes, I am his wife.”

Wayne asked through gritted teeth, “Anna, you said that on purpose, didn’t you?”

Anna gave him a quick glance before purposely adopting a perplexed expression. She said, “What? I didn’t mean to hurt you and I was telling the truth. Tell me, which part of what I just said was wrong?”

Wayne questioned with a frown, “So, who am I to you?”

Anna folded her arms and then sized Wayne up from head to toe. She said, “Oh? Apparently, we are exes after we broke up.”

Wayne treated Anna nicely since he returned from Seriel City, and had people bring flowers and treat to Anna’s office every day.

Anna wasn’t impressed by these favors from him. She wouldn’t forgive Wayne because he had done something wrong and hadn’t apologized to her.

Anna wouldn’t have necessarily gotten back together with Wayne even if he had apologized to her. So, she was right; they were just exes.

Wayne didn’t seem to think that way at all. He looked more serious and said, “Anna, you’re mistaken. We are still together.”

Anna looked at him seriously and then said, “Oh? Really?”

Therefore, she teased him by saying, “You are aware that once you have said something, you cannot take it back. You did say that you wanted to break up with me, Wayne.”

“I didn’t expect Gabe to betray me,” Wayne muttered after becoming silent and clenching his fists.

Anna looked at him and started to jeer, “Please don’t blame him, Wayne. He didn’t do anything wrong. Do you really have no idea who told me this? Oh, I guess you’re not as smart as everyone thinks. So, it makes sense why your cousin got the job instead of you.”

Wayne’s face darkened with embarrassment right away, thinking, I shouldn’t have told you such things, Anna! Did you intend to make fun of me in that way forever?

Anna decided to stop making fun of him after observing how speechless he appeared to be.

“Well, I’m leaving now,” she said. “Let me give you a ride,” Wayne said right away. Anna shook her head and answered with a polite smile, “No, thank you, I drove here.

Besides, it doesn’t seem to me that we’re going in the same direction.”

Anna believed that she and Wayne needed some space to collect their thoughts and determine whether they were right for each other. And she felt that she had much more to consider about than Wayne.

Their last few fights had been over the kids and the secrets she had kept from him back then. Anna thought she needed some time to process what had happened before deciding whether or not to keep dating Wayne.

Wayne stood by himself while Anna walked away confidently without turning around.

He instantly realized what Karl had said to him just before leaving. According to Karl, most women were, in fact, very vindictive and liked to talk about mistakes men had made in the past.

Women would keep those thoughts in mind if they didn’t say them throughout their argument. And later, they would say all those things one day and then leave men speechless.

Wayne felt that now was that time. As much as he hated admitting it, he was wrong.

Ryan’s pleasant voice came over the phone as she was just picking it up. “Anna, I’ve got everything figured out! I’ll return to Birmingham this afternoon.”

Ryan traveled across the whole UK and found almost every nanny who had worked in the Wright household then. Finally, he found out the truth about Matthew’s accident. It hadn’t been a very easy task, so Anna had assumed he wouldn’t be back until after Christmas.

“Yeah, right. I’ll tell you exactly what I found out when I see you. I believe what occurred to Matthew back then wasn’t a coincidence, and I’m afraid Wayne knew about it
