255 He’s Insane
Ryan raised his brows and added with purposeful provocation, “Yeah, you’re in MY HOUSE right now”
“Ryan, are you serious?” Wayne asked senously
Before Ryan could respond, Anna turned to Wayne and said, “Hey. I’m not speaking to you. Will you please shut up?
She turned to Natalie and said, “Okay, guys, take turns to tell me what happened. So, what are you doing here. Natalie?”
Natalie pursed her lips and appeared resentful She sighed as she pointed at Wayne, who was sitting opposite her, and complained, “Yikes! It’s all thanks to him! Wayne is insane, Anna! He
told my father that he wanted to marry me I’m still underage, for god’s sake!”
Ryan instantly spit out the water he had just drank and then stared at Wayne in disbelief and exclaimed, Wayne, I knew you were ap…t, but I have no idea that you are this sick!”
Wayne scowled, disgustedly examining the wet spot on his sleeve and warningly looking at Ryan
“Let her speak!” Anna spoke while looking at Natalie
Although Natalie’s statements shocked her, she wanted to hear her explanation
“Okay My father asked Wayne to marry Charlotte, but he refused it. Then, they had a huge fight My father said Wayne must get married before Christmas and didn’t care who his wife would be I’d been hiding behind the door listening in on their conversation all the time. Then Wayne pulled me into the room and announced that he would marry me Dear lord! He went bananas!”
After hearing Natalie’s statements, both kids on the couch gazed at Wayne as if he were the most insane person on the planet. Tammy was disgusted by him, and Matthew looked as if he had detested him
“Oh, I was just saying it off the top of my head.” Wayne answered, coughing awkwardly
“What? That is not a valid excuse! Natalie is only thirteen years old, you know. No wonder she’s so scared that she ran away from home.” Anna said, rolling her eyes at Wayne
Before he could explain himself, she turned to Matthew and inquired, “What about you, then? What exactly are you doing here?”
Matthew could pronounce a few simple words but not whole sentences. So he drew “Dad had an argument with Great-Grandpa, so he got kicked out” on his drawing board.
When Natalie noticed the line, she exclaimed angrily, “He deserves it!”
Wayne glanced at Natalie and seemed annoyed. After that, she hid behind Ryan and didn’t dare to say one more word,
After listening to their explanation, Anna got the gist of what had happened.
It began with the fact that Wayne had lied to Peter that he was dating Charlotte. However, just as Peter was going to set a wedding date for them, Wayne revealed the truth to him. After pissing
Wayne turned to Natalie and stated, “You think spending time with me is risky, don’t you? But you know, it’s even riskier for you to be in the same room with me, Natalie.”
“Come on, stop crying! That’s enough! You know what, it’s time for you to go home now! Or, Henry will be downstairs in a minute. They will not punish you if you return home on your own,” Wayne reminded her impatiently
After picking up her handbag, she sniffled and waved to everyone goodbye. She gave Wayne one more hard stare before walking away, leaving the crowd dumbfounded.
Well, well, well. The drama queen finally left the room, Anna thought to herself. The room was utterly silent after Natalie closed the door. Anna felt a headache as she saw those four people sitting on the couch.
