While she gently pushed Wayne away, Wayne was still thinking about that perfect kiss. He ran his fingers over his lips and then glared at the fireworks.
Why do they have to set off fireworks now? He thought, Humph! I'm not moving an inch away from Anna tonight. What if someone tries to hit on her? No, | won't let that happen.

As she asked the two women in the distance, Anna frowned, "What's the problem with Peace? She doesn't look happy.”
Jasper was about to explain what happened to her when a woman approached them.
"Mr. Thomas, hello,” the woman said in a deep voice. Her features were not delicate, but she had stunning blue eyes. She was dressed elegantly in a shirt dress with a brown belt around her waist. Her black hair cascaded over her shoulders, making her look chic.

"I wasn't expecting to see you at Mr. Thomas' wedding. When | saw Karl just now, | was more than surprised." Beatrice went on.
Hearing that, Anna realized why Peace was upset. Then she looked at Jasper, asking him whether Beatrice was Karl's girlfriend with her eyes secretly. Jasper gave her a nod in response.
"Excuse me, | need to check on my children." Anna made an excuse to. leave because she disliked this woman. Plus, she was worried about Peace. She then gave Wayne a sharp pinch on the back as a warning on her way out. Wayne frowned because it really hurt,
