Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand by Melina Levine
274 | Don't Want You to Lose Everything
Anna was perplexed after hearing the truth that Ryan suddenly told her. She froze, and then lowered her head in thought for a moment and said, "Actually, you can tell me about this later."
Ryan was at a loss for words. When he looked up, he noticed that Anna looked at him with a gentle smile.
Ryan asked, "What? Did you already know about it?"
Anna said when shaking her head,"! did, in a way, but | don't know about those details. All | know is that you may have recovered your memories."
"What? Then, why did you...”
Anna sighed and said, "Are you wondering why I'm still acting as if | don't know anything about you having back your memory? Well, that's because | was the one who hit you. When | took you to the hospital, you were dressed so shabbily that | assumed you were homeless. Besides, you are free to leave at any time. So, you must have your reasons if you keep staying at my house.”
Her words both moved and amused Ryan.
"No, Anna, I'm not a homeless person,” he explained.
Anna said with a wink, "Well, | know. You're a student at Military Academy, aren't you?”
Ryan's heart skipped a beat before he held her hand and said, "Anna, you're so good to me. Thank you for everything you've done for me.”
"| know! And you don't need to remind me of that!” With a chuckle, Anna teased Ryan.
"So, how about you leave Wayne? His family affairs are too complicated and exhausting. Why not be with me? | can support you and Tammy for the rest of my life!”
Anna glared at him, and then withdrew her hand and slapped his, saying, "Ryan, don't talk nonsense! You're still a student, and you're still relying on your parents for money. What makes you think you can support Tammy and me?”
"What? I've already started earning my own money since | was a freshman. | am capable of earning my own money."
Anna furrowed her brow, folded her arms, and asked with suspicion, "Really? Then why are you still staying at my house, eating my food, using my stuff and yet you paid me nothing?"
Ryan immediately responded, trying to defend himself, "Yeah... You're right. But it's just temporary. I'll...”
Hearing that, Anna said with a smile, interrupting him, "Fine. You're welcome to stay at my house for as long as you want. Now, would you like some more pasta?”
Ryan exhaled a sigh of relief before smiling and saying, "Sure!"
He felt relieved and at ease after revealing his true identity to Anna.
He'd been lying to people, and he even got used to it. However, when he lied to Anna, he felt like he'd committed a crime.

Following the press conference, the news of the White Group disparaging the Lemon Group trended on Twitter.
Anna was confused as she saw that. When she noticed that hashtag had been on the rank for a week, she knew who had done it.
Anna found it odd that Jasper hadn't called her when almost everyone in the city was talking about it. So, she was sure that he did it for her.
On the day she won the bid from the Joan Group, Anna called Jasper to thank him.
Anna said, "Thank you, Jasper. The Joan Group has placed their order from us.”
