Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 358

358 Aren't You Worried that You'll End Up Alone?

Anna froze and looked at Karl in confusion. Just then, her cab arrived. She was about to inquire as to what Karl meant by that. However, he opened the car door for her and said, "Anna, bye. I wish you the best of luck."

"Thank you," Anna replied with a smile. She then got into the cab

Karl's smile faded as he watched the car disappear around the corner. He appeared to be very worried. Wayne was his best friend, so he wished for him to find the right person. But he had recently been concerned about his friend.

At first, he didn't know why Jasper was looking for a sanitarium for Peace. Later, he overheard Peace's attending physician talking with the nurse on Christmas Eve. The doctor said that he wanted to reduce Peace's medication dosage because Jasper wanted Peace to be able to receive prolonged treatment and stay in the hospital for a longer time.

Karl pondered for some time after hearing their conversation. He could only think of one reason. And that was Jasper didn't want Peace discharged later, and that was because of Anna.

Anna had no more ties to America after she returned to Birmingham. She had made a new life for herself there and was doing well, so she saw No reason to go back to America. As a result, Jasper invited Peace to America. Anna would ask him about how Peace was doing whenever he was in New York.

At the thought of that, Karl realized how scheming Jasper could be. Karl didn't expect Jasper to be that smart, though. He had one more advantage to take advantage of: he and Anna had not yet divorced. 358 Aren't You Worried that You. Therefore, Karl became worried and even urged Peace to cooperate with the doctors so that she could be discharged sooner. They would have gotten Wayne in trouble otherwise.

Jasper and Anna's divorce required extensive paperwork and even a trip to a court in the United States. So they had to go through more than six months of tedious procedures from the day they filed for divorce. If they had unresolved issues, the time would be extended indefinitely. He'd heard of people going through divorce proceedings for five years.

Anna took a taxi to the French restaurant that Jasper had reserved for her. Jasper was sitting in the window seat, waiting for her. He waved to her and pulled out a chair for her as soon as he saw her.

Anna handed over her coat to the waiter and asked Jasper, "Why did you choose this place again? When I walked in just now, I was afraid the waiter would stop me again. I'm dressed very casually today! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Jasper laughed, and then said, "You still remember the first time you came to this restaurant? Right, at that time, you didn't know you had to follow the dress code, so you came here wearing a T-shirt and jeans after work. The waiter stopped you and embarrassed you."

Anna laughed awkwardly and said, "Let's not dwell on the past. Look at how the restaurant has evolved with the times. Despite the fact that I'm not wearing a dress, they let me in."

Meanwhile, Jasper was perusing the wine list. He said with a smile, "Of course! You're a friend of the owner of the restaurant, so of course, they let you in."

Anna froze for a few seconds before asking, surprised, "What? You
