Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 280

280 No More Pretending

"If none of them are available/’ Anna continued, "1'1 have to ask someone from my company to go with me."

Wayne became increasingly irritated and then inquired, "Huh? You even thought of them? Are you serious? You're talking about who you'll bring to the reception with me, Anna/’

Anna's heart began to race as soon as she heard his gloomy voice.

Wayne rolled over and pressed himself against Anna's body at that, moment.

Anna reached up and pressed her hand against his chest, saying, "Ah, no! You misunderstood me. | did it because | was worried you'd be embarrassed. After all, I'm asking for your opinion, aren't I?"

"You want me to pick a date for you, don't you?" Wayne growled.

Anna felt she had no way of explaining herself to him. She didn't feel like continuing arguing and could only say, "Well, if you're not going, Ineed someone to keep me company.”

Wayne bowed his head and stared at her. His muscular body and the quilt made Anna feel like she couldn't breathe.

"Hey, | didn't say that." Wayne said.

Anna became even more upset. She did it because she was worried about him and didn't expect him to hold it against her. Anna said, "I did it because of you! Why do you blame me?"

She was about to finish when she noticed Wayne staring at her with an aggressive expression. She became even more agitated, turned her head, and said, "Well, you wouldn't understand that. Feel free to think whatever you want."

Wayne froze, then rolled over to lie beside Anna. When he tried to hug Anna, she struggled and moved to the bed's edge and refused to speak to him.

Wayne began to regret what he had just said after reflecting on what had occurred between him and Anna during this time.

He explained, "Thank you for thinking of me, Anna. You know, | don't even mind being mocked. I'm just worried about our relationship. You could go with whoever you want if we weren't a couple. But, because | am your boyfriend, | hope | can come with you to the banquet.”

Anna chose to ignore him:

Wayne approached her once more and said, "You know, I'm worried that you might fall for someone else. Besides, attending a dinner party is not as simple as you think. So | don't want you to go there by yourselt.”

He hadn't anticipated Anna to continue ignoring him.

Wayne was thinking about what he should say when he heard Anna say, "Where are Matthew and Tammy? Should we bring them along?"

Wayne immediately brightened up and said, "Ryan has plenty of time."

Anna returned his gaze and said, "Hey! Do you really think of Ryan as your babysitter?”

"Isn't he?" Wayne raised an eyebrow as if perfectly justified

Ryan had frequently stayed by Anna's side, explaining that he did so to protect her and investigate things. However, Wayne was well aware of What he was thinking.

He thought, Since Ryan took my money, | should treat myself to the

services I deserve. After all, he could work as a babysitter, couldn't he? The reception was held the following evening at 7:30 p.m.

AW reserved the top floor of Birmingham's most luxurious hotel and laid out a long red carpet in front of it. Many elites of the upper class in town attended that banquet.
