Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 44

44 A Gracious Loser

Anna authoritatively pushed Wayne into the kitchen.

“You should spend more time with Matthew. Look how happy he was when he was playing with Tammy. Your servants taking care of him said that he had never been this happy before. That’s crazy.”

While Wayne was blaming himself again because of Anna’s words, Anna suddenly put an apron in his arms, “Put this on so that you won’t get flour on your clothes.”

His eyes twisted when he saw the pink apron. When he was about to say something, Anna suddenly urged him, “What are you waiting for? Go wash your hands. It’s five o’clock. The kids are starving.”

He somehow followed her orders, put on the apron, and washed his hands. Then he started to make a dough according to Anna’s instructions.

“Usually, we can make cookies in all kinds of shapes. Round, square, whatever. But kids don’t really care about the flavor. They pay more attention to the appearance than the taste of the food. Therefore, we can use a cookie mold or make some animals with our hands when making cookies.”

Anna tried to show him and extruded the dough on the baking paper.

“Look, now we have a little duck. Remember not to put too much dough on one cookie, because it will expand in the oven, and it will eventually look too fat.”

Anna was very serious when teaching Wayne. She stared at the baking paper, and soon there were all kinds of animals on it.

Wayne stood by her side and stared at her face, suddenly having a strange feeling.

He suddenly found she interesting, much more interesting than the women he met before.

She was not vain or highfalutin. She was excellent in work and in life. She was kind, brave, and straightforward. And she was patient with children.

“Uncle Wright, what do you think of marrying my mommy?” Tammy’s sentence that he took as a child’s babble suddenly struck him. His hand shook and suddenly extruded too much dough. A weird ugly thing appeared on the baking paper.

chocolate dough, I’m sure no one would like to eat a cookie that looks like poop.”

Wayne’s face froze. He looked at his work in embarrassment and put down the things in his hands.

“You can do it yourself.”

“Don’t be upset.” Anna raised her eyebrows and gloated over the thing he made,“ Come on, it’s not the end of the world. We can still save it.”

Then she picked out a tiny cranberry from the bag and put it on the poop-shaped

cookie and used a toothpick to stretch one end of the cookie.

“Now it looks like a little snake.”

Wayne took a look at the “little snake” that she made. It lay lazily on the baking paper, with a cute cranberry eye that gave a glow and a long thin tail in the behind.

His eyes were first fixed on the cookie and then moved to Anna’s face. Her satisfied look somehow pleased him.

At dinner, Matthew was much happier than usual. His active attitude today surprised Wayne. It had always been a big problem to make Matthew eat. If no one fed him, he would rather stay hungry. Even if someone did, he would only eat a little. He looked thinner than other kids at the age of five.

“Of course, he can. He’s five years old.” Anna said in an exaggerating tone, “Matthew can do a lot of things, can’t he?”

After the meal, Anna wanted to leave since it was getting late, but Tammy wouldn’t go and kept saying that she wanted to play video games together.

Five minutes into the first round, Wayne had occupied the territory of other three. Game was over.

Anna was frustrated, “This is not fair. This is your TV. You must have played for a lot of times before. Not fair.”
