Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 517 Are You Jealous?

Aiter arriving at the second floor and dropping her luggage, Anna pushed open the floor-to-ceiling window and walked onto the balcony. Then she felt hot air puffing on her face, making her feel like she was in a spa.

Looking out at the beautiful beach in the distance, she sighed, “Isn’tit a lovely place?”

Meanwhile, Wayne placed Apple on the couch and gave her some toys. Hearing Anna’s words, he looked up and out the window, replying, “ Indeed, the beach and the scenery are beautiful.*’

“When will Matthew get here?” Anna asked as she leaned over the balcony railing.

Tonight,’ Wayne said, stepping into the balcony. He took Anna’s hand and hugged her tightly. The two stood side by side, looking toward the beach in the distance.

“I haven’t seen Matthew for a long time. He’d have stayed down south until he finished the project if it hadn’t been for the wedding, right?”

“That’s right.”

“He’s a workaholic just like you.”

“I’m not working, honey,** Wayne said. What he meant was that Anna was the biggest workaholic of all.

She looked at him and asked, “You’re blaming me?”

“I’m not saying that.”

Every time they discussed it, she felt uneasy. She frowned and said,

That is exactly what you are saying. | believe we should still send him to 516 Are You Jealous? school. Jasper had previously found him a good high school in Switzerland, and he must have enjoyed his time

there. | think it’s perfectly fine for him to manage the company after graduation. This is entirely your fault! Why did you retire so soon, anyway?”

“I didn’t ask him to come back from Switzerland. Matthew wanted to come back to manage the company.”

Hearing that, Anna was rendered speechless. She sighed as she thought of the situation at the time.

Three years ago, Jasper had found a nice high school in Switzerland for the kids. Tammy had always been a troublemaker. She became bold when she arrived there because she had no one to discipline her. As her brother, Matthew didn’t stop her and even helped her clean up her mess.

Anna couldn’t take it any longer, so she asked the two children to come back. She only wanted to give the two kids a normal life, but their upbringing was different. Matthew had always had a calm and collected personality and was not influenced by Tammy. Anna worried that if Matthew continued to spoil Tammy, she would grow into an idle youth.

Wayne’s arm on Anna’s shoulder tightened slightly as he heard her sigh. “Tammy and Matthew are both good kids, so you don’t need to worry about them.”

| hope so.” Anna didn’t want to think about it any further. She was content as long as both of her children were around her.

“Let’s talk about you then,” Wayne said, lowering his gaze.

“What’s the matter with me?”

“You’re always busy and preoccupied with other people’s problems. You’re even worried about Karl’s children. You want to take care of everything except for your own husband.” 516 Are You Jealous?

“Are you jealous?” Anna asked, looking up at the man in front of her.

“Yes.”

For a brief moment, Anna was frozen by his confident tone. Wayne’s face appeared gilded with soft golden sunlight, and his beautiful eyes looked like a calm ocean as he blinked. Seeing that, Anna’s heart started racing right away.

Then Wayne lowered his head and said word for word, “Ves, I’m jealous:

‘Anna subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but Wayne reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist, tightening his grip. The next second, Anna felt a tingling sensation on her waist and couldn’t help but whimper. And Wayne began kissing her before she could return to her senses.

At that precise moment, Karl shouted as he opened the door, interrupting them, “Sorry, guys! | came at a bad time.”

Embarrassed, Anna pushed Wayne away and took a quick step back. She peered awkwardly into the house through the balcony’s floor-to- ceiling windows

Karl smiled as he stood in the doorway, looking at them both. He didn’t appear to be sorry at all.

Compared with Anna, Wayne seemed much more composed. “You know it’s not the right time to come, so why are you still standing here?’’ he

said coldly to Karl.

Karl took Apple in his arms as he replied, “I came to pick up Apple because | was afraid she would bother you. I’m not interrupting anything, ami?”

After Karl shut the door, Wayne and Anna were the only ones left in the 516 Are You Jealous? room. Anna was embarrassed because she knew Karl would tell everyone about what he had seen.

“I’m leaving,” Anna said as she walked ahead. Before she could take more steps, Wayne embraced her in his arms. Caught off guard, she shouted, “Ah! What are you doing?”

“Why are you leaving?” Wayne asked while carrying her directly into the bedroom. He later dropped Anna on the big, soft bed. A bit panicked, Anna pressed her hands against his chest to stop his next move and said, “Stop! | have to see Peace and Isabella later. Get off me.”

“You’ve been on the plane for too long, so you’re tired. And you need some rest,” Wayne said slowly, propping his elbow on her side.

“I’m not! If you’re tired, you should go to bed, “Anna said, pausing her struggle but remaining alert.

They came to a halt for a brief moment. When Wayne realized Anna was resisting, he lay down beside her in silence. The moment Anna saw Wayne’s sad expression, she was overcome with regret. “I can sleep with you for a while now,” she whispered as she gently pulled up the covers. “You should sleep now, dear.”

To Anna’s surprise, the next second, Wayne immediately lifted the covers instead of sleeping just as she told him to.

In the living room, Peace was watching TV with her legs crossed. She was holding a dragon fruit in one hand and changing the channel with the remote. As she heard the door slam behind her, she asked, “Can I turn around now?”

Flushing, Anna asked in surprise when throwing a pillow at Peace, “How did you get in here?”

Peace raised her hand and precisely caught the pillow. She spun 516 Are You Jealous? around, smiled at Anna, and asked, “Did you know that our houses’ balconies are connected? | stay right next door from you.”

With puzzlement, Anna cast a subconscious glance out the window, suspecting that Peace had heard her and Wayne having s*x earlier.

“Don’t worry, I’ve just got here. | didn’t hear anything.” Knowing what Anna was thinking, Peace explained.

“Nah! | don’t believe you. Just don’t do it again, okay? It creeps me out,” Anna rolled her eyes at Peace and said. She then went to the bathroom to fix her hair and clothes and conceal the hickeys on her neck with foundation.

Not wanting to continue the awkward conversation, Anna rushed

Peace out of the room after a quick makeup to keep her mouth shut. Anna

said, “Are you full now? Let’s go! Isabella is waiting for yo

“All right,” Peace said as she threw out the peel. It flew in a perfect parabola and landed directly in the trash can.

Isabella didn’t live in the same house as them, but she was close by. The beach was directly accessible from Isabella’s house, making it easier to practice the lawn ceremony. When Anna and Peace arrived there, they discovered that the wedding venue had been torn down. The blue curtain swayed in the sea breeze.

The beach volleyball partition net was next to the stage. Isabella was dressed in sports shorts and a tank top, and her hair was tied back. She appeared very energetic in bright sunlight.

“Tammy, catch the ball!” She yelled.

Tammy, who was also good at sports, threw back the ball with a foul shot. And Isabella failed to make the catch and then fell down on the sand. Then Tammy proudly clapped her hands and exclaimed,NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“Yay!” 516 Are You Jealous?

“Here you go,” Martin said as he handed her a glass of iced coconut juice.

As for Isabella, she got up from the ground and patted the sand on her legs. As soon as she saw Anna and Peace coming, she immediately ran over to them, waving as she did so. They then sat under the awning by the beach, watching the kids in the distance.

At the same time, Martin continued to follow Tammy and tried to talk with her. His full suit stood out against everyone else’s short sleeves and skirts, making him appear bizarre.

Raising her chin to take a look at the wedding venue in the distance, Anna asked Isabella, “Isn’t this lovely? Why did you ruin it?”

Isabella shook her head and said, “Actually, | think it’s quite nice, too. Peace said that blue tones are overused and that my wedding should be unique. So, | ruined it.”

“| knew it!” Anna shouted.

Peace laughed but said nothing. She sat on a chaise longue, sunglasses covering most of her face. And she asked, “What is this got to do with me? | didn’t say anything wrong. Everything has to be perfect because you only get married once in your life. And Jasper has to pay something for marrying such a lovely young lady as you.”
