Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 34

34 I’ll Make You Suffer

Standing on the escalator, Anna turned around and laughed, “I’m very busy. Unlike you, I have a lot of things to do other than thinking about how to inherit the family fortune and marry into a rich family.”

Allie was furious, almost digging her nails into her palm.

Six years ago, she almost racked her brains to frame Anna in order to completely ruin her. In Allie’s plan, father would loathe Anna, and she wouldn’t be able to inherit the fortune of the family. However, Allie didn’t expect that she managed to escape and hid for six years.

During this time, Allie had felt free and relaxed without Anna. But now, Anna had come back. What is she planning for?

After returning home from work, Anna was cooking dinner for Tam. Suddenly, her phone rang. She wiped her hands on the apron and took out her phone.

The look on her face froze when she saw the caller ID. It was her father. “Dad.”

“I heard you’ve come back.” Her father said in a deep voice. She hadn’t contacted him for a long time. He sounded tired.

“Yeah.” She answered in a low voice, scraping her fingers on the chopping board.

Obviously, Allie told father after she went back home. She definitely wouldn’t say nice things about Anna.

“Move back home now that you have come back. You don’t need to live alone.” Anna frowned, “No, dad. I’ve been fine living here.”

“Anna, I know you have complaints about me because of your mother. But this is still your family. I’m worried that you will run into danger when living alone. You should…”

“Dad.” Anna interrupted her father, “I’ve really had a good life. I… I have a job, and I live near my company. I have something to do now. I’ll hang up. I’ll go back to visit you sometime.”

Her father didn’t say more and told her to keep safe before he hung up.

Anna had always been a stubborn girl, and she didn’t know how to pretend to be nice in front of adults like Allie. Besides, her mother died when she was born. The adults all thought that she was a jinx, so no one in the family liked this withdrawn girl.

She stood in the kitchen for a long time after hanging up the phone. “Mommy.” A cute voice from outside distracted Anna.

She tried to smile at the sight of her daughter, “What? Are you hungry? Wait a second. Dinner will be ready.”

Tammy walked inside and pointed at the phone, “Is it grandpa?”

“Yeah.” Anna nodded. She crouched down to touch Tammy’s head and asked irresolutely, “Tam, do you want to see grandpa?”

Tammy blinked her big eyes, “What about mommy? If you want to go back, I will follow you. I’ll stay with you no matter where you go. I’ll always be mommy’s sweetheart no matter what happens.”

Anna felt that her heart was filled with warmth. She pulled Tammy into her arms,“ You’re right. You’ll always be my sweetheart no matter where I go.”

She left with Tammy five years ago because she wanted to hide from the man who bought her child and because she didn’t know how to tell her family about it. If she suddenly brought a child back to home, she would have to face the condemnation of everybody in the family, so she chose to hide.

Now that five years had passed, she couldn’t hide Tammy in the darkness anymore. Besides, even if she didn’t want to put herself into trouble, there was someone else who wanted to make trouble for her. A big city as Birmingham was, it was likely that Allie found out about Tammy one day. She had to be prepared for it.

It was late at night.

Ada was supporting Wayne at the gate of a restaurant. She seemed to be worried about Wayne, but in fact she was looking at a minivan in a distance from the corner of her eyes.

Wayne looked a little drunk. He slowly felt something, frowning, and pulled out his hand,“No, I can go myself.”

“Wayne.” Ada hurriedly lifted the hem of her dress and followed him, “You’re drunk. I can’t let you go by yourself. I’ll send you back before I go.”

“You don’t need to thank me. Wayne and I are going to get married. I’m the one who should take care of him.” Ada sat by the bed and brushed over Wayne’s shoulder with her slender fingers. She glanced at the maid and said, “We are alright here. Let me take care of him.”
