Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 286

2861 Saw Him

Scott called Ryan about 30 minutes ago. He claimed that Anna had left the party early and turned off her cell phone. As a result, he was concerned about Anna's safety. Also, he told Ryan about what Lillian said at the party.

Then Ryan said hesitantly, "Well, thank God Scott and Randall were both there, and they saved Anna from being humiliated in time. Otherwise, she would have felt very embarrassed. Do you think this whole thing is true?"

Wayne stared blankly into the distance, not paying attention to what Ryan was saying

Ryan replied to his own question, "Well, | don't. In fact, there will be many coincidences in this world. So, you have no idea who you'll run into the next second/’

He then stood up and walked to his room after finishing his Coke. Wayne wasn't paying attention to what Ryan was saying at all. He went to knock on Anna's bedroom door after that but froze. He didn't know what had happened on his way to the bathroom, but he seemed to have

noticed that there was something fishy about the whole incident.

When Anna was humiliated, Wayne was on the phone with Henry, and then he went outside and ran into Rachel.

He finally understood why Rachel had said such a thing to him, but he regretted not asking her where she had heard it

Wayne was immediately disappointed. He remembered promising Anna last night that he would protect her at the party, but he failed, making him feel like an i***t.

Anna stepped out of the bathroom after taking a shower. She wiped her hair and looked out the door. And she hadn't heard anything from outside.

She hadn't gotten much sleep that night. She tossed and turned in bed, watching the moonlight shine through the curtains into the bedroom.

Ithad been freezing recently, and Anna could feel the cold wind stinging her bones as she walked back home with Wayne.

On the other hand, people's hearts were colder than the weather in November days.

Anna thought, People sometimes can be scarier than ghosts. People! used to know didn't seem to have changed. | expected them to at least change for the better, but it turned out Inever really got to know them.

Jacob remained as cowardly as ever, and Lillian remained vicious. Furthermore, they still enjoyed doing awful things to harm others.

That fact had not changed, no matter how hard Anna tried to hide what had happened six years ago. It knocked her down again at an unexpected time

Anna wondered if Wayne knew what Lillian said at the party, but she hoped he didn't, in fact, she was worried about Wayne looking into what had happened to her six years before.

The cold rain continued to fall all night. The following day, Anna awoke while it was still dark.

She wore a heavy cashmere sweater because it was already getting cold.

As she showered and prepared to leave, she hoped she wouldn't run into Wayne. She did, however, notice a man lying on the couch in the living room.

Wayne was sitting on that narrow couch, looking pitiful. His legs were placed on the couch's arm, and he was only dressed in a thin blanket. Plus, he was even wearing the same clothes he wore the night before.

Anna paused for a moment before approaching and patting him on the back as she said, "Well, you can go back to your room.”

Wayne didn't respond and appeared to be sleeping.

Anna shook him by the shoulders and said, "Wake up, Wayne. I'm not in the mood to joke with you! I'm off to work now, go to our room now.
