Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 311

311 Is This Gonna Work?

Wayne then took Anna to a fancy Japanese restaurant.

The moment the waiter opened the booth, Anna froze. She noticed that the woman in the white sweater from the night before was sitting inside the booth.

Wayne told Anna, "This is Miss Sophia York, Anna. Sophia, this is Anna Gabriel, my fiancee."’

Sophia approached them and smiled as she said, "How do you do, Miss Gabriel?"

Anna reluctantly smiled and said, "Hello."

Wayne didn't notice what Anna was thinking and simply pulled the chair for her so she could sit down.

Anna had watched them from a distance the night before. And she finally had a chance to look at Sophia closely.

Looking at her up and down, Anna found the woman very beautiful. She was wearing a plain white sweater with lace trim, and her long hair was tied in a ponytail.

Sensing Anna's gaze on her, Sophia gave Anna a shy smile and said, "Oh, lonce heard Mr. Wright say that his fiancee was a gorgeous woman. You are so pretty, Anna."

Anna was not flattered but rather disgusted. She looked at the two men, waiting for them to respond.

However, the silence made them all uncomfortable. So, Wayne explained, "Oh, Sophia is a psychiatrist specializing in child psychology. So

I'd like to have her to check on Matthew to see what's going on with 311 Is This Gonna Work? a him."

Hearing that, Anna pressed her thighs together and said to Sophia, "Really? Wayne previously said he planned to take Matthew to a German doctor. Are you from Germany, Miss York?"

Wayne and Sophia both froze because Anna sounded aggressive.

After a while, Wayne frowned as realized that Anna might be irritated.

Anna asked, "So, Miss York, have you met Matthew?"

Sophia responded, looking relieved, "No, | haven't yet. I just talked to Mr. Wright about him. He said you had spent much time with Matthew, so | wondered if you could tell me something about him."

•Anna had seen several child psychologists because she hoped someone could treat Matthew. After asking Sophia a few questions, she discovered that Sophia appeared to be a doctor.

So, Anna wondered if she had made a mistake. She remembered Peace saying that Wayne had seen Matthew's mother, but she didn't know the woman's name. So, when she saw Wayne and Sophia together last night, she assumed that the woman that Peace referred to was Sophia.

Sophia appeared very professional and said seriously, "Actually, | don't believe that Matthew's reluctance to speak is related to his illness. Maybe it was because he had been threatened before that he’s unwilling to speak, | believe. You've probably heard about babysitters abusing children in the news."’

“Many people assume that children know nothing, but this is not true. Kids are sensitive and they are like white paper, and the adults around them are like painters. They will be colored if you give them colored ink. | hope you get what I'm saying. So, | believe the reason why Matthew refuses to speak was most likely because he has been intimidated and threatened 311 Is This Gonna Work? a not to speak."

Anna realized that what she said was most likely correct.

Ithad occurred to her that previously. Mary, Matthew's nanny, had said that Ada frequently visited Matthew at the Wright house.

Only Ada, however, was capable to to silence Matthew. Everyone assumed it was because she and Matthew were close. Plus, that was why Peter allowed Ada to date Wayne.

When Anna and Ryan talked about it later, she felt very panicked. No one would think that Ada, an unknown actress, would have the nerve to threaten Matthew. But she might just happen to have the guts to do so.
