Chapter 28 The Prince Charming
The driver’s words had reminded Ada.
She thought, “Wayne always goes in his own way no matter what other people say. He seemingly obeys his grandfather, but privately he still does what he pleases, which means that all I need to do is to make sure that Wayne doesn‘t change his mind.”
That night, Wayne and Matthew stayed in the mansion.
Wayne thought that grandfather had something to tell him, but he suddenly answered a phone call and waved to the servants to let them clean up a room for Wayne and Matthew.
Then he locked himself in the study.
“Has grandpa been busy recently?” Wayne looked at the butler suspiciously.
The butler answered calmly and unhurriedly, “Mr. Wright has been communicating a lot with his friend. I don’t know much about the details. Sir, you can go back to your room first. Mr. Wright will come outside after he finishes the call.”
However, grandfather didn’t hang up the phone until midnight. Wayne read a whole book for Matthew while waiting for grandfather. Then Matthew fell asleep, and he kept yawning, realizing that it had already been eleven o’clock. He didn’t wait anymore and went to sleep.
Anna got up in the middle of the night to drink water. Standing in the living room, she saw that Tammy’s room was still lit up. She frowned and walked over.
Then she heard Tammy’s voice in the room, “You have never told me about this person. That’s too complicated. If you had told me, I wouldn’t let my mommy go. Too complicated.”
Anna directly opened the door and asked her in dissatisfaction, “Tammy? What are you doing in the middle of the night? You should’ve been asleep now.”
Tammy hurriedly hung up the phone and turned around in fear. She rolled her eyes and said, “Nothing. I was just talking to my godmother.”
On hearing this, Anna’s eyes were lit up. She said, “Really? I happen to have something to say to her. Give me the phone and let me talk to her.”
“No.” Tammy hid the phone behind her, “I’ve hung up. She said she was going to sleep.”
“What?” Anna was a little disappointed, but she wasn’t suspicious about Tammy’s words.
“Well, you should go to bed now. Do you know what time it is now? Children should go to bed early.”
“I know.” Tammy nodded. With her brows knitted, she seemed to be worried, “Mommy, I have just learned a bad news? Do you want me to tell you?”
Anna’s face changed. She asked, “Did Peace fight with her client again?”
Unlike her name, Peace wasn’t peaceful at all. She had a hot temper and an agile body. She would frequently fight with the customers who couldn’t play well with her, so Anna suddenly became nervous.
“No.” Tammy quickly shook her head, “It’s not about Peace. It’s about you.” “Me?” Anna pointed at her nose.
“Yeah.” Tammy nodded and sighed with a long face, “Mommy, I think your second marriage is finished.”
“My second marriage?” Anna asked with a total lack of comprehension. “I heard that your boss, Uncle Wright, is going to get married.” Anna was slightly surprised by Tammy’s words.
It was widely spread in the company that Wayne Wright was going to marry Ada Xavier. The rumor with a lot of details seemed to be true. Besides, Ada frequently came to the group’s headquarter recently, totally ignoring the rumors in the company. Wayne Wright didn’t make any effort to explain about it. Everybody took it as a sign that they did plan to get married.
But what did Wayne Wright’s marriage have to do with Anna? “What are you talking about?”
“Uncle Wright is handsome and rich. He is definitely a prince charming. If you can marry into his family, I can go with you and eat all the delicious food and enjoy the luxury life. Look. He’s going to get married with other woman because you didn’t seize the chance.”
Since Wayne told her about his plan to get married, she became more and more complaisant. She regularly went to Wayne’s house and Carousel Group. After she heard that Matthew was going to school today, she specially came to Wayne’s home early in the morning to stay with him, as if she cared a lot about Matthew.
“Communicating with more people can be helpful for his recovery.” Wayne answered in
Matthew paled on hearing the words and cowered in the child seat with the little drawing board in his arms, thinking, “The children of the wicked woman must also be wicked.”
Feeling embarrassed, Ada turned pale and then green. She thought, “What does he mean? So he doesn‘t want to have a child with me after we get married?”
