Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 489

489 What If | Drop the Case?

In the prison, Anna emerged from behind the remand prison's door dressed as a prisoner. Joshua had been waiting for her for a long time. He was heartbroken, however, when he saw Anna's exhausted expression and realized she was pretending to be calm.

Anna sat in front of him and smiled as she teased him, "As a lawyer, you should have seen a lot of situations like this. Why are you still so surprised?’’

“Are you still in the mood to laugh? It seems Wayne doesn't even have to worry about you that much.” As he said this, Joshua snapped back to reality and regained his composure.

"You've been here several times, so | know he's worried about me,” Anna explained.

"Because you are detained, only your lawyer may visit you,” Joshua immediately said, and he misinterpreted Anna's meaning.

Anna waved her hand and said, "I didn't mean that. Have you become as overly stressed as Nancy is? Besides, even if they could come to see me, | wouldn't welcome them. I don't want Wayne to see me like this right now. Go ahead. What do you want to tell me now?" she said, straightening up.

Joshua paused for a moment before replying, "Wayne wanted to tell you that he has got many people to protect Isabella and Gary. So far, no one has taken any action against them. He wanted you to put your mind at ease because he was sure Bill said that just to provoke you.”

Upon hearing his words, Anna felt alittle better, She sadly nodded, 488 What If! Drop the Case? But Bill knew that Gary was staying at Isabella's. That means he didn't have the chance to tell Ada about it.”

"I think so, too," Joshua said, nodding. He thought for a while and said, "There's one more thing. Your friends are all worried about you right now, and they're all trying to get you out. Last night, Karl's wife scolded Wayne for quite some time, questioning why he didn't get you out. Karl also sought connections and suggested that you can apply for parole if you want to."

Anna blinked because she found the scene amusing when she imagined Peace shouting at Wayne. She knew Peace would not let Karl off the hook either.

Seeing no reaction from Anna, Joshua said, "Karl kept asking me to persuade you to come out early before | arrived. He appeared to be more tired than you are right now."

Anna could tell he was in a pickle at the time. Then, she asked, "What's new with Ryan?"

"Yesterday, Ryan discovered that Ada had hired someone to spy on you. For the time being, he is still following this person. He hoped you'll stay a few more days so he could catch them."

"Then tell Karl to hold off alittle longer," Anna said, nodding.

As he remembered Kar"s tortured and pained face, Joshua became worried. "All right, that's all we can do," he said after a brief pause.

In the late afternoon, Joshua left the remand prison. And the setting sun cast a golden light on the road. Joshua walked with his back to the sunset, his shadow following him. He walked faster because the evening breeze made him feel chilly.

Itwas almost winter, and the trees were bare, with only a few leaves remaining. As he walked by, the colored lights on the trees lit up, making 488 What If | Drop the Case?
