Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 48

48 Nothing Impossible

“Hmm.” Wayne answered drily. But when he looked out of the window, a light of delight flashed in his eyes.

He felt that he had understood something at the night when he lost sleep. But he needed some time to confirm his thoughts. He figured it would be easy. But after Anna deliberately avoided him yesterday, he realized that he still needed a good reason to get close to her.

Matthew could be the good reason.

After that day, Wayne would always visit Anna with Matthew and invited Tammy and her to his house on weekends. Sometimes, they even went to a park to have a picnic or went to a playground together. They had a good time during this time.

Anna naturally felt that what attracted Wayne and Matthew was her cooking skills. And when they were together, Wayne could give her some advice about the anniversary plan, which saved her from the embarrassment in the meetings when her proposal was denied by her colleagues. Anna thought it was fair since they both took what they needed.

“Nice to meet you, Miss Xavier.”

A young man put down his briefcase and sat opposite Ada in a private room of a café.

Ada had got impatient when waiting for him. After she saw him, she became even angrier, “You are the private detective that Bob talked about? Pearson Ray?”

The man nodded and looked at Ada calmly under her suspicious gaze, “I am.” Agitated, Ada looked at her watch and took her purse, ready to leave.

“Bob must be crazy. Where did he find you? Are you a grown–up? You look like a makeup people instead of a detective. This is not a little boy‘s game.”

The man in front of Ada was in his early twenties. He had fair skin and a baby face. He couldn‘t be underage, but he must be less than 25. How could anyone believe that this young man was the most famous private detective in Birmingham?

Pearson sat on his seat calmly, without the slightest intention of getting up, and said drily, “I will delete all the things that I found after you leave. Don‘t worry. I won‘t leak the information to anyone. I have my work ethic.”

Ada stood still and looked at him with a frown, “What did you find?” “I thought you were not interested.” Ada stood there for a while and finally sat back at her seat.

“OK, tell me what you‘ve found. I can believe that you are able to work for me only if you got something valuable.”

Pearson unhurriedly put a document on the table and slowly pushed it to Ada with his

slender fingers.

“According to your request, I have investigated in the woman, Anna Gabriel, and her daughter. I‘ve found out that six years ago, the night after her eighteenth birthday was the last time she appeared in front of her friends.”

“Six years ago…” Ada looked at the date on the document, her brow wrinkling, “How could it be that night?”

“Although you haven‘t clarified what you want to know, I think you must be interested in this part. Anna Gabriel was drugged that night, but she wasn‘t taken to the room that Allie Gabriel ordered. Instead, she was taken away. And Wayne was also at that hotel at that night.”

“What do you mean?”

“I have every reason to suspect that the surrogate mother that Wayne chose is Anna Gabriel.”

Ada‘s face turned pale, and her hand holding the document was shaking. What‘s the odds of that happening?

It took her a long time to find out that Matthew was born by a surrogate mother. She thought that Wayne wouldn‘t contact that woman anymore, which was why she didn‘t worry at all. But now that woman could be Anna Gabriel. She is a Gabriel. It‘s impossible for her to be a surrogate mother.

“That‘s impossible.” Ada immediately dismissed this idea as unrealistic, “She is the second daughter of the Gabriel family. She has everything. Why should she do such a thing?

“Well, then I‘ll look for the former butler of the Wayne family. He must be the one who was responsible for the surrogacy. I‘ll contact you if I find anything new.”

If it weren‘t for the investigation of Wayne Wright, he wouldn‘t have bothered to take the case. Just as people say, actresses are two–faced creatures. Ada Xavier is really annoying

He went out of the café, put his hands on his forehead, and looked up at the sky. What a find day today! It‘s a good time for a surprising encounter.

“We can stop by the supermarket to buy some food. Do you want to eat meatloaf?”
