Chapter 29 You‘re My Brother
Anna didn’t feel anything wrong about the question. She nodded and said happily, “I can’t believe you still remember me.” Ada ignored her and kept asking, “What’s your daughter’s name?”
Ada’s eyes fell upon Tammy. She looked at her cute pink face, suddenly seized by fear. Why did this little girl look a little like Wayne? “That‘s impossible.” The voice in her mind reminded her.
“I’m Tammy Gabriel. You can call me Tam.” Tammy suddenly broke in their conversation. She looked up, and her eyes roamed over Ada.
“Tammy Gabriel?” Ada clenched her hands when she heard the name. She thought of that medical record that she saw in Wayne’s office that and felt more suspicious. Then she directly asked, “Why do you take your mother’s last name?”
Tammy turned around to look at her mommy, looking confused.
It was normal that Anna didn’t feel anything wrong when Ada asked her daughter’s name. But now that Ada was asking about her privacy, only fools would still take it as a normal question.
She immediately pulled Tammy behind her and said coldly, “Tammy is still small, and I have never explained this kind of thing to her. She can’t understand your question. Besides, we are in the 21st century. No matter whose last name she takes, no one will feel weird about it.”
Ada was slightly stunned. She was more displeased especially when she saw that Matthew hid behind the woman and seemed to like her a lot. She said harshly, “It’s certainly
not a problem whose last name she takes. I just wonder how Miss Gabriel, a manager-in-training, can afford to send your daughter to such a luxury kindergarten as Blue Castle. This is not a school for ordinary people. I guess you must have a rich husband. I really can’t think of another reason.”
Anna was embarrassed. She didn’t think she had offended Ada before. But Ada sounded aggressive and managed to hit her soft spot with only one sentence. Ada was right.
She didn’t have the power to send Tammy here, so she could only stood there silently.
“This is her private matter.” Wayne suddenly interrupted and saved Anna from embarrassment. He shot an angry glance at Ada, “Does everyone have to make a report to you about how they get their kids here? You have been sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong too often recently.”
Ada paled on hearing Wayne’s words because Wayne spoke up for this woman and humiliated her in front of other people.
“Wayne, I only did it for Matthew.” She tried to save her face, “I was afraid that all kinds of people would come to the school, and I thought I should ask more questions to make sure that there weren’t evil people here.”
“Don’t bother.” Wayne said coldly without looking at her, “You can go back to the car. I’ll take Matthew inside.”
The doorman wouldn’t let Ada in after Wayne, the parent of the students, said so, which was a rule in Blue Castle.
“Wayne!” Ada stood outside the gate and stamped her feet with anger. She watched Wayne and Anna walk into the gate, neither of them looking back. Ada now looked vivid.
Tammy and Matthew walked in front of the two adults. When Tammy looked back and saw the angry expressions on Ada’s face, she squeezed her shoulders back and whispered to Matthew, “Matthew, do you really like that woman? I think she’s a little scary.”
Since that old grandpa told her that Wayne was going to get married to Ada Xavier, she googled Ada, who was as beautiful as a goddess in the pictures on the Internet. But now when Tammy saw her in person, she secretly curled her lips and thought, “She just looks more fashionable than mom. But look at her face and how mean she looks when she talks.
She can’t beat mommy in any part. Uncle Wright really has a poor taste.”
Matthew suddenly shook his head in agitation.
“You don’t like her?” Tammy was surprised by him, “And you still want her to be your stepmom?”
Matthew shook his head more intensely.
Tammy hadn’t learned many words. She frowned and asked, “Matthew, what did you write?”
After looking at the board, Wayne took a weird look at Matthew. Seeing that Matthew was grasping the corner of his clothes and shaking it and looking anxious, Wayne could only
