Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 403

403 I'm Not Drunk

Anna felt her heart miss a beat and her breathing became rapid. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down

After that, Anna took a deep breath and pressed her back against the door. She locked her gaze on Wayne for a long moment before gradually relaxing and asking, "How much did you drink?"

"I didn't drink much. I wasn't even drunk!" Wayne answered as his eyes were in and out of focus from time to time. Anna frowned. She knew that drunks often defended themselves by claiming they hadn't too much to drink. She thought, You're lying, Wayne. I can see right through you. Yeah, you're the type of person who won'tgive up on something or someone you want until there is really no way back, I should've thought of it earlier. Whatever. As long as I contact your assistant and ask him to take you away. You will be out of my side soon and! won't have to worry about you coming to my place uninvited again, I guess?

After collecting her thoughts, Anna asked, "How did you get here?"

Wayne answered without even thinking, "I drove myself here."

Anna asked, wide-eyed, "Are you crazy? It's dangerous! You're lucky that you didn't end up in the hospital!" Wayne knelt down to pick up the house keys without saying anything. He then handed her the keys and asked her, "Are you worried that I'll have an accident?"

"I'm afraid you're going to hit someone and go to jail because of it. That way, there would be no one to look after Matthew later on. Are you 402 I'm Not Drunk i

going to abandon Matthew while he is still a child? What on earth are you thinking? This is not the way you raise kids." Anna grabbed her keys and turned to face him.

The light in Wayne's eyes disappeared. He was silent for a moment before saying, "Gotcha! | arrived here by taxi." Anna realized he hadn't gone completely insane. She glanced at him and said, "You're not drunk? Then, you should call your assistant and ask him to pick you up and take you home."

Anna opened the door, entered the house, and slammed it shut. She seemed to shake the entire building, After entering the house, Anna cleaned the bathroom. She then realized it had only been ten minutes.

The rain was pouring even harder outside. The terrifying sound of thunder was followed by lightning that illuminated the dimly lit house as if it were daylight. The rain pelted the windows and made a horrible sound. Anna thought to herself, Did Wayne leave? /s he really gone? It's raining heavily outside. hope that he won't be so drunk that he would just walk in

the rain, waiting for his assistant to pick him up.

After a while, Anna washed her face and went to her room to sleep. However, she kept thinking about Wayne. She lay in bed for a long time without being able to fall asleep. At last, she couldn't take it any longer.

She jumped out of bed and walked to the door, looking out through the peephole on the door. And she was surprised to see that Wayne was smoking while leaning against the wall.

Anna thought to herself, Wayne, why haven'tyou left yet? Are you really gonna spend the whole night in the cold and dim corridor?!

Thinking of that, Anna opened the door and looked at Wayne with doubt, but she didn't say anything. Wayne paused for a moment. He held his cigarette in his long slender fingers, and the ashes were blowing in the 402 I'm Not Drunk wind.

Then Wayne explained, "It's raining too heavily, and I couldn't get a cab. Besides, my cell phone's dead. So, I decided to stay a little longer."

Anna wasn't sure if he was telling the truth or not. She noticed Wayne had gotten wet when he arrived, so she paused, saying, "Come on in."

Wayne was taken aback, then he quickly extinguished his cigarette and followed her into the house as if he feared Anna would shut the door immediately if he got into the house a second later.

When Anna went into the kitchen to make some tea, the scent of jasmine filled the house. She had always enjoyed drinking tea, and this habit of hers had not changed a bit.

She set the cup of tea in front of Wayne, then went to the bathroom, grabbed a dry towel, and said, "Wipe your hair. You arrived here bu taking a taxi, and you got soaked. Wipe your hair dry now, or you might catch a cold."

Wayne felt his body was not so cold after drinking the tea, and he was slowly sobering up.
