334 She Pushed Me
334 She Pushed Me
Wayne's gaze was still burning at that time. After hearing Anna’s words, his palm gradually warmed, and he became less enraged. "I'm sorry, Anna," he said after a brief silence.
Anna could empathize with him, so she said, "It's okay. | didn't take it personally.*’
Then Wayne hugged Anna closely and appeared exhausted. He said, "Actually, | had previously imagined how she would appear in my life. After all, I'm her son. But she never came to see me after all these years.*’
Wayne had mixed feelings when he saw Jennie in that small town. Anna wanted to say something to him, but didn't believe it was the right time. Moreover, Anna knew that if she continued to stand out for Ryan and Jennie, she might worsen matters. As a result, she remained silent.
In the evening, they picked up their two children and headed to a hotel restaurant for dinner to discuss their wedding. Anna invited Bruce, her mother's second brother, and his family to dinner.
When they arrived, Peter had already sat in the front seat, his face solemn. He grinned and sat the two children near him as soon as he saw them.
Lydia, Bruce's wife, greeted Anna immediately and said, "Anna, you're finally here! We haven't seen each other for a long time.*’ Though she sounded friendly, Lydia looked very unfriendly and kept sizing up Anna.
"I just went to pick up the kids," Anna explained gently.
She was not familiar with Lydia and her family. She had lived with the Millers as a child, but there was just her and her grandfather. Selina would 334 She Pushed Me pay them visits occasionally, but she only saw Bruce and Lydia at Christmas.
Lydia said to Anna, "I heard that both of your children go to Blue Castle Kindergarten, right? Johnny and Daniel are about to go to kindergarten. Sylvia and her husband have been to a lot of kindergartens, but they can't find an ideal one. | went there yesterday since | heard Tammy was there. Isn't this a wonderful school? Could you send both of my grandchildren there to school? The kids could keep each other company.”
"Well, actually, you could just apply with the kindergarten," Anna replied, frowning. She hadn't seen her Aunt Lydia in a long time, so she wasn't expecting such a request.
"Anna, | don't have as much power as you do. Can you help me out?" Lydia insisted.
Unable to contain herself, Selina snorted coldly and added, "Lydia, please stop. We are not here today to talk about your grandchildren.”
Selina was one of the family's most powerful members. So, Lydia had to pretend to respect her even if she didn't want to listen to her. Then Lydia quickly shut up, but she didn't appear happy.
Looking over at Peter, Selina said, "Sorry, sir”
Smiling, Peter said, "Never mind, it's fine. Please take a seat, Anna. It's just a family gathering, you don't have to be so nervous. We're just having a casual conversation.”
