Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 509 The Househusband

The next morning, Anna woke up at nearly nine o’clock. She felt her entire body ache as if all her bones had crumbled. As she picked up her phone and looked at the time before sitting up, she exclaimed, “Sh*t!”

The hospital had recently become even busier than usual. So, as chief of surgery, Anna just chaired a meeting for all the doctors yesterday. She sternly told everyone they could not be late or leave work early at the meeting. However, she hadn’t expected to be the first to break her rules.

After quickly washing and dressing, Anna dashed downstairs. Later, she saw Wayne sitting leisurely at the table in the dining room, eating breakfast.

“Did you turn off my alarm clock again, Wayne? I told you, if you turn off my alarm clock again, | won’t sleep in the same room with you!” Anna yelled angrily toward the dining room.

“| didn’t turn it off,” Wayne said calmly as he buttered the bread.

“Who else could it be? Matthew’s not at home, and Tammy is staying at Selina’s house. We’re the only people in the house, along with a maid who cooked for us,” With a sigh, Anna decided not to argue with him. Then she added, “Okay, I’m going to work. I’ll definitely discuss this with you tonight.”

‘‘Aren’t you going to eat something for breakfast?”

“I can’t. It’s too late. The patients are waiting for me.” Anna rolled her eyes and walked out the door with her bag, saying, “Don’t bring me lunch to my office at lunchtime.” 508 The Househusband

“Why?” Wayne frowned and asked.

“The hospital has a cafeteria and I can eat there. If you’re bored, go find Karl and kill time with him.” Then Anna walked out the door without looking back before Wayne could respond.

Wayne hadn’t cared about the company since he let Matthew take charge. According to Anna, “Wayne has done nothing for the last three years but causes me trouble every day.” As long as he was home, she was, late for work almost every day.

Being late wasn’t a big deal for Anna. What bothered her the most was that Wayne came to the hospital every day to bring her food. Wayne would bring her and her coworkers a lot of food if she happened to be on the night shift. Knowing that he was showing his love and care for her in this way, Anna still found it a bit awkward as Wayne had always the domineering CEO in her mind. And she had difficulty getting used to the fact that he somehow became a househusband.

After Anna left, Wayne turned to the kitchen and asked the maid, “Did you put the breakfast in her car?” This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“Yes, | packed her sandwiches and hot coffee, and | put everything on the passenger seat so she can see them as soon as she gets in,” the maid said as she walked out of the kitchen.

“Anna has been getting busier since becoming a doctor and works a lot of overtime. She doesn’t get enough sleep. And she suffers from stomach problems. You should tell her how much you care for her. Otherwise, she will only think you are meddling in her business without her consent, Mr. Wright,” the maid said as she brought out another glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.

Wayne nodded, but he didn’t take the maid’s words seriously. He knew he still had a long way to go before showing his love and care for her 508 The Househusband without being scolded by Anna. Yet, he didn’t mind that Anna always blamed him for that in his mind, it was better than Anna ignoring her.

“By the way, you don’t have to cook for me at noon,” Having collected his thoughts, Wayne said to the maid.

“You’re not having lunch at home?”

“No,” Wayne said, “I haven’t been back to my grandfather’s house ina few days, and I should go see him”

Anna was wearing her white coat in her office when she heard a knock on the door. She looked up and saw Nancy looking at her thoughtfully.

“Why are you late today?” Nancy asked, smiling.

“I’m sorry, | got up late. Are the patients waiting in the outpatient clinic? I’m on my way,” Anna apologized

“It’s all right. Dr. Barnes just returned from his exchange program in the United States and happened to cover your shift this morning.”

“Dr. Barnes has returned? What a coincidence!”

“I thought so, too,” Nancy said, surveying Anna. “I heard your husband is back. It’s a coincidence, too, isn’t it?”

Nancy’s expression told Anna exactly what she meant.

“Why does he have to be in charge of everything?” Anna grumbled because she knew Wayne had probably called the hospital and asked Dr. Barnes to cover her shift in the morning.

“I’m sorry;” Anna said helplessly, “and | promise you this won’t happen again”

Hearing that, Nancy became serious and asked, “Your husband cares so much about your life and work, doesn’t he? So, do you think he will support you volunteering up north?” 508 The Househusband

Anna frowned, as she was unsure about this as well. She hadn’t figured out how to tell Wayne yet.

“Well, if you can’t go, just forget it. Do you happen to be free right now? Let me take you to meet the new interns. Some of them are excellent, and the dean loves them,” Nancy said as she patted her shoulder.

“Does the dean have time to care about these interns?” Anna tucked her stethoscope into her coat pocket and followed Nancy out of the office. They talked about those interns as they walked.

“Our hospital admitted several medical students as interns for the past few years. Because of the stringent selection criteria, only ten students will be chosen as interns each year, and there are only a few who have the potential to become doctors. The situation is complicated this year. There aren’t many students this time, but some are a bit special.”

“What do you mean?”

“You’ll know it when you see them,” Nancy said.

Anna frowned, thinking this meant they were in trouble. Before they arrived there, Anna and Nancy could hear the chaos inside the intern’s office. The interns, who were gathered in a group, stood up respectfully when they saw the two of them enter.

“Hello, everyone. This is Dr. Wright from the surgery department. She’s been busy lately, so you guys didn’t get a chance to meet her before,”

Nancy said to the group.

Anna then introduced herself to everyone. She looked at the seven interns one by one and finally noticed one of them. “What’s your name?” she asked.

The young man wore a white lab coat and was dressed formally. His skin was perfectly tanned, and he was well-built and attractive. Meanwhile, 508 The Househusband the sparkling diamond stud in his left

ear caught Anna’s attention. Anna assumed that he was one of the most popular boys at his school. Unfortunately, such students were her least favorite. “My name is Patrick,” the boy introduced himself to Anna, smiling. “Have you ever read the internship handbook thoroughly? Why are you wearing earrings? Are you going to tell us you came here just to fool around?” Anna grumbled.

Then Everyone was silent.
