Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 251

251 Matthew Threw A

Tantrum

Peter turned to face Anna and said, “Oh, well, I won’t make you stay at my house anymore. So, will you come back and cook for Matthew tonight?”

Anna nodded, and then lowered her head to make herself look less embarrassed. She said, “Well, Tammy, let’s go.”

At that exact moment, Matthew stretched out and grabbed Anna’s blouse. He yelled, “Mommy!” as if he were going to cry

Everyone at the table froze except Wayne, who remained motionless.

Matthew rarely called Anna “Mommy” in front of others but did it so frequently in front of Wayne.

Wayne did nothing and simply waited to see how Anna would react.

“Matthew, do you think you can just call a random woman ‘mommy’ like that?” Peter asked him indifferently

At the same time, Matthew appeared depressed. He yanked on Anna’s shirt, unable to accept that she was leaving

Because he was grasping her shirt so firmly, his hands were already red, Matthew screamed, “No, I want my mommy! Don’t let my mommy leave me!”

All those who were present became flustered, and the servants looked at each other in surprise.

“Come on now, Matthew.” Anna forced herself to say it. She prayed that she could whisk Matthew away from this place for good right now.

Even though Anna was sure she would be rejected, she requested, “Can Matthew stay at my house for a few days?”

Peter responded coldly, as Anna had predicted, “No way!” Hearing his words, Matthew cried even louder. Immediately, Peter yelled angrily at Wayne, “Hey! Why don’t you do something, Wayne?” Hearing that, Wayne still did nothing. He simply sat in his seat, his face expressionless.

Then, indifferently, he replied, “No, I can’t help you. You know that once Matthew begins to cry, no one can stop him.”

“Are you trying to make me furious on purpose?” Peter asked, his face flushed with rage. He immediately approached Anna, grabbed Matthew’s arm, and yanked him away from her.

Although Anna was reluctant to leave, she had to bite the bullet and walk away.

She looked back before departing with Matthew. When she saw Matthew crying, and on the verge of choking, she was heartbroken.

Then she drove away from the gate and then determined to leave this place.

Anna heard Tammy crying in the backseat and asking, “Mom, Matthew is crying! Do we have to leave him?”

Anna still looked ahead after hearing her words, and she grabbed the driving wheel more tightly

She replied, “No, I don’t want to leave him. But my love, there’s nothing I can do now. The lawyer your father hired will arrive in England soon. After seeing him, I will try my best to get your brother back to us.”

Tammy blinked her reddening eyes, sniffled, and inquired, “Why am I with you, Mommy? Why did Matthew grow up around Wayne? Mommy, is it because you abandoned him when he was little?”

Tammy assumed Matthew was Jasper and Anna’s child, but he was sent away for unknown reasons.

Anna didn’t know how to explain this to Tammy. So, she said after a long silence, “Oh, that’s because I accidentally lost him when I gave birth to you two.

At the same time, the dining room was chaotic when Anna left.

Only Wayne remained seated. He didn’t appear to want to cajole Matthew. Meanwhile, the servants were all scrambling and trying to make that little boy feel better.

However, Matthew cried even louder when someone approached him.

Peter slammed the table in frustration, feeling at a loss for words. After a while, he bent down to soothe Matthew, saying, “Hey, good boy, stop crying, will

you?”

Matthew quickly stopped crying and sniffled. Just as everyone was surprised that he could calm Matthew, something unexpected happened the next second.

With a crisp snap. Matthew slapped his hand heavily on Peter’s face. Then he yelled with great anger, “You’re bad!”

Everyone in the room was taken aback by Matthew. Henry was equally astounded and couldn’t believe what he had just witnessed.

Peter had been a respectable gentleman since he was in business, and no one dared to mess with him.

No one would have predicted that his great-grandson would slap him in front of everyone like that

As everyone had expected, Peter immediately became irritated.

At this point, Charlotte stood up and said in a good word for Matthew, “Okay, Grandpa. Matthew is still a kid. He doesn’t know what he’s doing. Please don’t get mad at him.”

Wayne remained composed, and all he did was sip his water

Then, as if he’d made up his mind, Peter frowned and took a deep breath. He knelt down, grinned as wide as he could, and said, “I’m sorry, Matthew. It was my fault. You can clap me again if you are still angry. I will not blame you for it. So, could you stop making a scene? Will you please finish your meal?”

Everyone was stunned, and Henry’s jaw was about to drop to the ground. They realized how much Peter adored his great-grandson at that point. They had just learned it because they had rarely spent time together in a long time, and such things had never happened before.

Matthew, on the other hand, was still wailing. He took two steps back after slapping Peter’s

hand away.

With tears streaming down his cheeks, he exclaimed, “No! I want my mommy!!!”

Peter sighed and finally understood why Wayne said that no one could coax Matthew while crying. In fact, it was true that no one but Anna could make Matthew stop crying.

Matthew was taken away by the maids. They couldn’t keep him quiet, but they could keep the dining room quiet

However, no one had an appetite for lunch anymore

After Charlotte realized everyone was depressed, she stood up and said, “Well, I’m full. Excuse me, but I should get going. I’ve got plans in the afternoon.”

Hearing that, Peter said, “But some dishes are not served yet!”

Charlotte smiled respectfully and said, “Oh, thank you, but I’m good. I’m on a diet right now, so I can’t eat too much. I also have plans for tonight, so I won’t be able to come over then.”

Charlotte then left Wright’s house. After getting into her car, she spotted a number on her phone contacts.

“Oh, you don’t need to apologize to me. Charlotte, you now have everything you desire. So, no matter what you say to me, I won’t take it as your apology. On the contrary. I’ll think you’re going against me.”

When Charlotte said that, Anna felt that she was being ridiculous.
