Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand by Melina Levine
Chapter 269 You Hit on Me First
Ryan twitched his mouth and mumbled, "It turns out you brought me dinner. So, why didn't you tell me sooner, Wayne? Geez!”
With that, Ryan turned around and noticed a few dishes and a bowl of pasta on the table. Then, he was touched right away.
It was getting darker and darker. The dark blue velvet night sky blended with the bustling Birmingham city, making the lights look as bright as the stars.
As Anna stepped out of the bathroom, she noticed a man standing in her room.
She then stopped and then thought to herself. Damn! Why did | forget to lock the door?
Anna was exhausted from her long day. She'd been through too much and had thought about too many things. So, as soon as she walked into the bedroom, she went straight to the shower, forgetting to lock the door.
Alarmed, Anna said, "Wayne! What are you doing in here?"
Wayne was sitting on the sofa on the balcony at the time, holding a book called A Brief History of Time . \t was the book Anna usually read before going to bed.
He looked up, put the book down, and said, "This is a fantastic book. Anna, you have excellent taste." "No, it is not what you think it is. Every time | read this book, | fall asleep very quickly. In a way, it's my sleeping pills" Anna responded. She then folded her arms and turned to face Wayne.
She added, "Come on, | think you should go to Ryan's bedroom instead of checking what I'm reading before | go to bed. Otherwise, you'll have to sleep in Matthew's bed again.”
"But | haven't showered yet,” Wayne said, raising an eyebrow.
"Then go take a shower. There's a bathroom in the living room.”
"But the shower in that bathroom is not working.”
Hearing that, Anna looked at him and said, "What? That's not possible!”
Wayne didn't continue to defend himself but just stood up and said, "Fine. If you don't believe me, you can check it out.”
Anna said, "OK, I'll go see it now."
Actually, Anna didn't believe that the shower was broken atall.
Ryan had stayed at her place for a long time and always used the bathroom there. Anna would occasionally shower there too, but the shower had never been broken.
After checking the shower, she found out that Wayne was right.
Wayne approached her from behind and said, "Look! | didn't lie to you, did 1?”
Anna felt helpless in the face of the situation. She had to turn off the shower and place it on the shelf, saying, "Well, you can take a shower in my bedroom. But | hope you could leave
my room as soon as possible when you finish taking a shower. By the way, can you please call someone to fix it if you're home tomorrow?”
"OK," Wayne said immediately.
He then smiled as he looked at the water valve switch on the wall, and it seemed that his plans had worked.
Anna sat bored on the sofa, flipping her copy of A Brief History of Time. The only thing she could hear in the bedroom was Wayne taking a shower in the bathroom.
After a while, Anna became sleepy due to the tedious physics book.
Then she took a pharmacology book from the shelf and reviewed what she had learned in college. When she opened the book, she noticed the notes that she had written down on the book. She became extremely emotional after that.
If it hadn't been for that accident, Anna would have worked as a doctor in a hospital now.
At that precise moment, someone opened the door a creek.
Anna then heard Tammy's voice, "Mommy!"
Tammy was standing in front of the door, staring at Anna in her pink pajamas.
Surprised, Anna asked, "Hey Tammy, what are you doing here?"
Tammy rushed over to Anna's side. She appeared to be so tired that she couldn't even open her eyes, and she still said, "Oh, I'm so tired! But | need to tell you something, Mommy.”
Anna smiled and said, "What do you want to tell me, honey? Are you going to tell me that you dreamed about me taking you to Disney Land again so that you can persuade me into taking you there later?”
Tammy pouted and said, "No, that's not it! | think something bad is happening!"
"What exactly are you talking about, baby?”
'j had lunch with Wayne and Matthew today. Then, | heard Wayne tell Gabe to find Matthew's mother. So, are they looking for you? ”
When Anna heard Tammy's words, she was taken aback and immediately asked, "What? What are you talking about?"
Tammy had overheard their conversation, but she couldn't recall what they had said. However, she felt that the two men were talking about her mother, which was important.
So, Tammy then felt that she had to tell Anna about it. She had fallen asleep when Anna arrived home late from work and had been awake by noises in the living room.
Anna realized what Wayne had asked Gabe to do after listening to Tammy. Her face turned pale as she clutched the book tightly in her hand.
Anna knew that Wayne was a smart man with access to any information he desired. As a result, he would almost certainly look up the truth and discover that Anna was the surrogate girl.
Anna had no idea what she needed to do. Then, she heard Wayne turn off the shower at that moment.
