Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 104

Anna felt that she had no way to refuse. So, she had to friend Jennie. Only then did Jennie smile as happily as a child.

Anna couldn’t imagine how such a woman could do something like scamming the Wrights’ property and cheating on Wayne’s father.

Anna showed a puzzled expression but held back from asking her what had happened.

“Then, I’ll go first.” Anna put the noodles and side dishes on her plate and nodded politely toward Jennie.

She had just walked upstairs and placed the plate on the table when Wayne came out of the bathroom. He was wrapped in a bathrobe, his wet hair was dripping down his neck, and there was

a water stain on the bathroom door.

Anna felt her throat tighten after seeing such a scene. It took her a long time to come back to her senses, and then she coughed awkwardly.

“Have some noodles. I just made it myself.” | Wayne glanced at her, then at the noodles, and nodded.

As he sat down on the couch, Anna felt like a small puff of hot air was coming at her and enveloping her. It made her feel uncomfortable, so she moved to the side.

The room was quiet, except for Wayne eating his noodles. Anna listened to the sound of the rainstorm outside the window and thought the sound of him eating made the room seem cozy

Anna inexplicably held her breath. After making sure Wayne wasn’t paying attention to her, she secretly lowered her head and slowly let her breath out.

“You can sleep in the bed at night.” She suddenly heard Wayne say that.

Anna froze and felt that the good news came so suddenly. Her eyes lit up, and she asked, “Really?”

“Yes.”

Wayne‘s low voice was a little teasing. He seemed to have forgotten what had just happened between them

Anna felt extremely happy. She thought that the bowl of noodles she had made was worth it because she could exchange it for a night of good sleep. However, she was careless and forgot that Wayne was going to let her sleep on the bed anyway.

Wayne looked at her flattered expression and felt resigned. Did she think I would let a woman like her sleep on the couch? He thought.

Anna was cheerful and attentive and said, “I’ll help you make the couch. I’ve just lain down on it, and it’s enough for me. It’s even more comfortable than the bed.”

Wayne’s expression changed when he saw this attentive attitude of hers. He said, “Since it’s so comfortable, why don’t you sleep on it tonight?”

Anna immediately refused and said with a smile, “No, I’ll sleep on the bed. After all, as a man,

you have to act like a gentleman, right?”

She said and walked towards the bed, stretching her back “Aren’t you going to take a shower?” She heard Wayne, who was standing behind her,

asking.

Anna felt the air freeze as she stopped. She turned her back on Wayne and forced herself to say, “Of course, I’m taking a shower. I’ll go get my clothes first.”

She had planned to skip showering for the rest of the night, lest she got into any more trouble. She thought that Wayne had asked that on purpose If she didn’t take a shower, he could make fun of her for being sloppy

The sound of water running in the bathroom was in stark contrast to the blistering wind and rain outside the window. One sounded soothing, the other turbulent It was warm inside and cold outside. This extreme contrast made the light inside the room seem softer

Wayne slowly finished his noodles, pulled back the covers on the sofa, and lay down

The bathroom door slowly opened after a long time, and Anna, wearing a long-sleeved blouse and pants, crept out like a thief She was relieved when she saw him sleeping on the couch.

She had feared something random might happen. She had never been able to guess what Wayne was thinking, and she didn’t know if he would suddenly do something to her

She dimmed the bedside lamp as she got into bed, and the room then became even more

silent

It rained all night heavily. When she woke up the next day, the sky was clear and blue.

Anna packed her backpack and went to the front desk to check out As she was checking out, she glanced towards the door. She saw Wayne sitting in his car, and through the window, she could see the side of his face as he held the steering wheel. He was staring straight ahead,

He had gotten into the car directly after coming downstairs in the morning as if he didn’t want to stay at the inn for another second.

“Please put your ID card away.” The clerk handed the ID card back to Anna. Anna was just about to leave when she heard Jennie’s voice. “Anna, wait a minute.”

Jennie came slowly towards her from the kitchen and carried a lunch box in a plastic bag. She handed it to Anna with an expectant expression.

Anna hesitated because she knew that Jennie had given her the lunchbox, not because she was worried they would be hungry. But somehow, she took it when she saw Jennie’s pleading and sincere eyes.

The rainstorm did not cause any landslides, so they had a smooth ride. Shortly after leaving town, they got on the highway and made one stop in the middle.

Wayne went to the bathroom. When he came back, he saw Anna in the passenger seat unpacking a lunch box. There were French fries, a steak cut into strips, and a sandwich in the lunchbox, which looked tempting.

Wayne looked at her and asked, “When did you buy it?” “In the town this morning. There was a restaurant there, so I bought some food. Do you want

to try it?”

Anna picked up a piece of steak with a fork and brought it to his mouth, then looked at him expectantly

Wayne frowned for a moment. He immediately knew who had given Anna this lunchbox when he thought about it. But as he watched her bring the food to his mouth, he couldn’t help but open his mouth.

Anna took the opportunity to shove the steak into his mouth and said, “Isn’t it good?” Wayne chewed a few bites and swallowed, saying, “Not bad.”

Anna also tasted a piece and said, ” Huh? This is very good, as good as the chef in the Carousel restaurant. If this chef opens a restaurant, it would be very popular.”

“She’s a restaurant owner. What’s so strange about that?” Wayne suddenly said and froze for a moment after finishing speaking. Anna looked at him and said awkwardly, “You know who cooked this meal?”

Wayne didn’t look at her, started the car, and said, “I’ve never seen a fast-food vendor put food in a designer lunch box.”

Anna then saw the designer brand logo on the lunch box, and she sighed silently, but then she perceived the implicit meanings in Wayne’s words.

Wayne knew who made the food, but he ate it anyway. That should mean that he didn’t have that deep a grudge against his mother.

Jennie meant well, and she’s a good cook,” Anna muttered in a small voice. Wayne gave her a look and said calmly, “Then why did you just lie?”

“Because you said she didn’t cook well last night and lost your temper. If I tell you that Jennie made this food, I’m afraid you won’t even want to take a look at it.”

Anna pursed her lips and said in a low voice. She even wanted to slap herself after she said this.
