328 My Mom Is Not A Cheater

Ryan became uneasy when he noticed how coldly Anna treated him. He pinched his own hands, paused, and decided to tell her the truth about everything. He said, "Okay. I'm going to take you somewhere, Anna, because | want you to trust me."

"Where?"

"You'll know it when you get there. I've documented everything I've done over the years to become close to the Wrights."

Later on, Anna drove carefully through the snow. Then they arrived in front of an apartment building near Ryan's school and took the elevator to an apartment on the fourth floor.

Except for a bed and a desk, there wasn't much furniture in that modest house. However, the wooden floor was piled high with various books, and the massive bookshelf was crammed with folders and labeled books.

Ryan drew back the sheet that covered the bed, allowing the dust to float in the air. He explained, "This is where | used to live while | was working as a private detective. But | haven't been here for quite some time."

"You see, there are a lot of notebooks on the shelves. That's the records I've been writing in since | was thirteen years old, and I've arranged them in chronological order. My mother refused to tell me about them, so I've been investigating them little by little over the years.”

Anna froze for a moment and hesitantly walked over to the bookshelf.

She casually pulled out a hardback notebook and flipped it open. The 328 My Mom Is Not A Cheater saadl notebook had the date written on it. It seemed that Ryan had recorded it three years ago when he was a freshman.

The first page of the book included a newspaper clipping with the heading "CEO of Carousel Group Richard Wright resigns, and Peter Wright's only son takes command.”

Anna browsed the article and found that it was from a tabloid Flipping through the journal, she found it filled with records of Wayne's interviews and some notes written by Ryan analyzing Wayne's actions and words

At first, he described Wayne with words like "cold," "intelligent," and "business genius." Ryan later described him as "protective," "not so scary,” and "a bit obnoxious.”

Ryan wrote these notes as though he were talking to himself during adolescence. He couldn't find anyone to share those secrets with, so he kept an eye on his brother's every move all those years.

Anna was moved when she finished reading the notebook. She put it back, gazed at Ryan for a long moment, and asked, "So, what motivated you to do this in the first place? Why do you want to get to know Wayne if you've never met him?"

Ryan said without hesitation, "Because of my mom. My mother used to cry when she was watching a few photographs when I was a child. She would even call Wayne's name in her dreams in the middle of the night. At first, had no idea what she was talking about. Later, | discovered she had a son named Wayne, who kicked her out of the family when he was thirteen”

A person would have a different perspective on the same thing if they were in a different stance. Anna could appreciate Ryan's need to prove his

mother's innocence to everyone. But when she put herself in Wayne's 328 My Mom Is Not A Cheater ol shoes, she knew Jennie had hurt Wayne deeply. As a result, Anna found it difficult to judge who was right or wrong in this matter.

"So, you want Wayne to reconcile with your mother, right?" she asked.

Wes"

Anna said to him without thinking, "But I don't think it's possible. | can understand why you thought that way. Maybe you didn't see the whole picture..."
