Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 523

523 Where Did He Go?

After Anna left, Peace looked up and asked Karl, "Why are you running? It's not an emergency."

"Isabella told me that something big happened and that I needed to see you right away. What did Anna mean, by the way? Is it about Beatrice?*’ Karl asked, his voice trembling.

Peace rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm not sure because | didn't ask her. Did you help Beatrice with her luggage? You delivered the luggage so quickly?"

"| dashed over as soon as Isabella called me. And I left the luggage in the hotel lobby and asked the staff to deliver it to her room."

"Fine. Tell me about the photo then," Peace said after calming down.

4*Huh? What photo?" Karl froze and asked, unable to comprehend what she was saying. It seemed that he had long forgotten that he had kept Beatrice's photograph in his study.

“Are you serious? You should explain it now while I'm still in a good mood. Why do you have her picture in your study at your parents' place?”

"Doi even have a study?”

Hearing that, Peace was speechless. And she was lost in thought, Right, | nearly forgot about that. You rarely go to your study because you always think you don't belong there. Maybe Anna's right. You didn't keep Beatrice's picture on purpose, Karl. And you said Beatrice had leukemia

earlier because you didn't even bother to explain your relationship with 522 Where Did He Go? Beatrice. Is that right?

"What's the matter, honey?" Seeing that Peace was unusually silent, Karl frowned and asked.

"Nothing. Drink some water." Peace handed him a glass of sparkling water.

Karl panicked because he knew his wife's temper well. He carefully leaned down and examined Peace's face before swallowing hard and saying, "What's the matter, dear? Did I do something wrong? Please, just tell me!"

"Nothing. Don't be nervous."

"Something is definitely going on! | can feel that you're getting angry. Let me guess... Did it bother you that I didn't shave? Or did Martin get into another mess?”

"No! Will you shut up? "Impatiently, Peace snapped and slapped the table.

Then Karl stumbled and fell to the floor with a terrified expression. After realizing she was being a little aggressive, Peace reached out to help him. To her surprise, Karl abruptly nodded and said, "Ah! That's my girl!"

What the hell, Karl?! Are you disappointed because I didn't kick your ass like | always did? At the thought of that, Peace became enraged and even wanted to hit him with a chair. However, she didn't get physical and said to Karl instead, "Karl, get up! You're embarrassing me!"

"| won't get up until you tell me what I did wrong”

"What have you ever done right?"

"Uh... Let me think about it.” 522 Where Did He Go?

At the same time, Anna and Wayne were standing on the balcony on the second floor.

"Looks like they made it up,” Anna exclaimed as she watched Peace drag Karl toward the beach.

Wayne's gaze remained fixed on her bare back. He removed his suit and draped it across her shoulders, saying, "Do you think it's still a little chilly here? You can wear my jacket.”

Anna had no idea what he meant by that. She sat in a chair nearby and then took the wine brought by the waiter. With a crisp sound, her and Wayne's glasses clinked together.

Smiling, Anna said, "By the way, Wayne, what did Miss Jones say to you when | went to talk to Peace?"
