Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 279

279 Surprise!

Anna saw a light as she dashed out of the hallway.

When Anna came back to her senses, she heard a cheer, "SURPRISE!"

Then, confetti flew in the air. Many people, wearing various masks and costumes, were gathered at the elevator's entrance. Among them, there were two small children with pumpkin hoods.

Anna recognized that voice after she screamed

Confused, Anna asked, "Tammy, Matthew?"

The shorter child removed her hood and smiled happily, "Hey, Mommy! It's me!"

“Huh? What are you guys doing here?"

"Happy Halloween, Miss Gabriel!”

At that point, everyone in costume removed their masks and hoods. Anna recognized that they were all her neighbors in the building.

Anna, surprised, touched her forehead and said, "What are you doing?"

Lisa, Anna's neighbor, approached her at that moment. She was dressed as a Corpse Bride and wore black lipstick.

She said with a smile, "Are you terrified? It's our Halloween event, and we're scaring everyone who comes home after dark. Let me tell you, you're not the only one scared by us.”

Anna froze for a moment before regaining her composure and saying, "Gee, | thought it was that serial killer! You guys scared the hell out of me." Anna looked around for a moment. She knew some of them, while she had only met others a few times. However, she was touched when she noticed that everyone was smiling at her.

Selina bought Anna that apartment at a high price. And Anna rarely participated in the apartment's activities because she was always on the go. They would, however, bring her gifts after each event

Lisa suddenly asked, "Where's your husband?"

Anna froze and asked, "What? My husband?”

"Well, the father of your children. He's inside your house, isn't he?"

Anna then said, "Oh, you mean the man who's..."

Under Everyone's gaze, Anna quickly opened the door. When she saw that Slime had covered the switch, she realized why she couldn't turn on the light before.

Anna noticed Wayne sitting in Matthew's room as the light was turned on.

His beige pants were stained with red liquid, and he had a visible bruise on his brow. He appeared to be in a daze and unaware of what was goingon.

Someone outside the door burst out laughing. Then, everyone laughed joyfully together. Anna bet that Wayne had never been so embarrassed in all those years.

Wayne refused to participate in the Halloween activity the committee had planned because he thought those customs were silly. Out of his expectations, he was embarrassed in front of all the residents.

Anna took an ice pack from the freezer and placed it on Wayne's brow, but she continued to laugh and say, "I'm sorry, that was just too funny! Sorry about that.”

On the other hand, Wayne was pleased when he felt Anna gently rubbing his face.

"Oops, | assumed you didn't want to take part in the event. Why did you bring the chainsaw? You scared the hell out of me! Fortunately, bought potatoes today rather than knives!"

Wayne became even more upset after hearing Anna's words and said, "You should have asked the kids! I'm not sure why that ketchup- stained chainsaw is here."

Tammy and Matthew were scaring people around the building with the other residents while they talked.

Tammy quietly walked out the door, carrying the plastic saw with her. So, Anna was aware that Tammy had done this.
