Chapter 20

    Wayne was surprised to hear someone shouting at him. He was stunned to see the little girl waving at


    him. She appeared so familiar.


    As he hesitated, Matthew broke free and ran towards Tammy. Wayne just followed.


    Anna tried to cover her face but felt something tugging her leg. She looked down and saw a pair of big


    round eyes. Matthew hugged her leg and was overjoyed to see her.


    “Sir! We’ve met!” Tammy looked happily at Wayne. Wayne then recalled the scene at the airport and


    his expression warmed up significantly “How do you know each other?” Anna was puzzled.


    “He was the one who gave me the box of choctes.” Tammy exined, “What a coincidence to meet


    him here. Mommy, do you know him?”


    Anna tensed up and replied, “This… he is mommy‘s boss.” Wayne stood beside the table and asked,


    “She‘s your daughter?” “Yes.”


    On hearing this, Wayne was inexplicably upset that she was married and had a child. He asked,


    “You’ve recovered?”


    Anna felt guilty and then looked at Matthew hoping to use him as an excuse, “… my arm‘s movement is


    still restricted.”


    “Then rest a while more, there‘s no hurry to return to work.” Wayne‘s reply surprised her. When did he


    be so understanding?


    “Mommy’s arm has recovered, she can go back to work tomorrow!” Tammy interrupted. “Tammy!” Anna


    red at her for ruining her ns.


    Wayne did not take it to heart and said, “Thanks for saving Matthew. I didn‘t have the time to visit you


    at the hospital. I heard you have left the hospital and I wanted to visit you together with Matthew to


    show our gratitude.”


    “No need.” Anna shook her head, “You had already given me the sick leave. Furthermore, it was my


    duty to ensure the safety of the hotel guests.”


    Wayne looked at Tammy and said, “Despite your sick leave, don‘t forget our 3–month bet. I don’t wish


    to dy it.”


    Anna was stunned. What did he mean by not dying it? Then the sick leave was wasting her precious


    time. Her good impressions of Wayne vanished immediately


    This man really knew how to ruin someone‘s hopes.


    “Matthew, let‘s go. Let‘s not interrupt their lunch.” But Matthew frantically held onto Anna‘s arm and


    refused to let go.


    “Matthew!” Wayne frowned.


    On seeing the father and son struggling, Anna quickly said, “You may join us if you don‘t mind.”


    Wayne had no choice but to sit down. Anna felt amused to see him losing out to his son,

    Tammy was delighted and said, “Have a seat, I’ll go and get some fruits. Buddy, do you want to go with


    me?”


    Matthew hesitated but started to like Tammy and went with her. This shocked Wayne as Matthew never


    liked to y with girls.


    Matthew had a bad temper and did not have any friends. He tried to let him y with other kids but


    Matthew rejected all of them. Wayne had always been concerned about his son‘s istion.


    “Your daughter’s very adorable,” Wayne said.


    “Tammy?” Anna smiled, “She‘s a little imp. Sometimes I‘m not even sure what‘s on her mind but she is


    very good with her peers. Mr. Wright, you need not worry.”

    “Matthew seems to like you a lot,” Wayne then ordered some dishes. The kids brought the fruits back


    and then went to y at a slide.


    Anna and Wayne could chat in a more rxed atmosphere. Anna remembered Matthew‘s tantrum and


    asked, “Was Matthew born with the speech impediment? How‘s his mother doing?”


    Wayne’s expression darkened and appeared upset. “I‘m sorry.” Anna apologized when Wayne stared at


    her, “I just asked in passing.” Wayne was upset and retorted, “You asked too much, mind your own


    business.”


    Anna then realized that it was inappropriate for her to ask about his son‘s disabilities considering how


    proud Wayne was.


    The atmosphere immediately tensed up. Wayne looked in a daze towards the y area.


    Matthew was not mute at birth. He could speak a lot of sentences when he was two years old and was


    more intelligent than his peers. Due to his neglect, Matthew had a high fever and almost died.


    Thereafter he stopped speaking.


    All the various doctors that saw him since had the same diagnosis. His throat was not hurt in any way.


    Matthew just chose not to speak
