Chapter 45


    “Tammy Gabriel.” Anna said in a deep voice, staring at the little girl. “Do you think it is OK to stay


    here?”


    Tammy set her mouth in a line with a guilty look on her face. Usually, Anna was really angry when she


    talked to Tammy in this way.


    “Mommy.” Tammy pulled Anna‘s sleeves, “I just want to y with Matthew a little longer.”


    Anna looked at her with great seriousness, “Do you know what time it is now? Haven‘t | told you that


    you can y but you can‘t wear out your wee? It‘smon courtesy.”


    While Anna was snapping at Tammy, Matthew suddenly crawled to her and held one of her legs with


    one hand, with the sketch board in the other hand.


    Anna felt it and looked down subconsciously at Matthew, who was holding the board up high. She saw


    the words that Matthew wrote, “I want Tammy to stay.”


    “Matthew.” Anna frowned and suddenly didn‘t know what to say. It always seemed difficult for her to


    refuse Matthew‘s request.


    “Matthew, we have to go. It‘s toote now. Next time I will bring Tammy here to y with you again.


    OK?”


    Seeing that Anna still insist to leave, Matthew became agitated. He quickly wrote some words on the


    board and pulled Wayne‘s pants to let him read it.

    “If you don‘t let Tam and Auntie stay, I won‘t eat.”


    Matthew‘s request took Wayne by surprise and struck a church with him. He hesitantly looked at Anna,


    “Uhm, why don‘t you stay tonight? I will have them clean a room for you and Tam.”


    Astonished, Anna said, “No. It‘s a little inappropriate.” “Don‘t get me wrong.” Wayne nced at her and


    exined calmly, “?


    “If you leave now, Matthew will refuse to eat tomorrow. His arm hasn‘t recovered yet. He can only stay


    at home and rarely see his friends.”


    Wayne‘s words didn‘t leave much choice for Anna.


    Tammy seized the moment of Anna‘s hesitation and said, “Mommy, tomorrow is Sunday. I don‘t need to


    go to school, and you don‘t need to go to work. I promise I won‘t ask you to stay here tomorrow. I just


    want to stay with Matthew for a little longer.”


    Now Anna could do nothing but to agree. She poked Tammy on the forehead and cast a significant look


    at her, “You‘re a big girl now, trying to keep your friendpany.”


    After Anna decided to stay, the servants cleaned a guest room for them. Anna first took Tammy to have


    a shower. Tammy was crazily excited,ughing and ying wildly in the bathtub, and getting all the


    towels in the bathroom wet.


    “Alright. Alright. Enough. Is it really this good to stay here?”


    “Yes.”


    Tammy looked at Anna with smiling eyes, “Mommy, I‘ve always wanted to have a brother.”


    Anna frowned and said in a low voice, “You do have one.”


    Tammy realized that she had reopened an old wound and regretted, “Sorry, mommy.”


    “It‘s alright.” Anna touched her head resignedly, “Stay in the water quietly. Or you‘ll catch a cold. I‘ll find


    a dry towel for you.”


    “OK.”


    The son that was taken away had always been a pain in Anna‘s heart. She knew that it was unlikely to


    bring him back even if she found him. But she hoped that she could see him again, if possible. She


    only wanted to know whether he was happy. If he was living a happy life, she didn‘t need to disturb him.


    She went out of the bathroom and let out a sigh of sadness, feeling hard to breathe.


    Wayne was drinking water in the living room. He turned around when he heard the sound and saw


    Anna walking downstairs. Her dress was drenched to the skin on the chest part, vaguely showing the


    outline of her bra.


    He was suddenly nervous, his mouth dry.


    “Uhm, where are the servants?” Anna hesitantly asked him, seeing that he was staring at her.


    Wayne came to himself and avoided Anna‘s gaze, “Just went outside. Throwing the rubbish, I guess.


    What are you looking for?”


    “Towels.” Anna pulled her cor and smiled resignedly, “Tammy was naughty in the


    servants whether they can find some dry towels.”


    Wayne nced at the door. The rubbish bin was far away from the house, and the servant on duty


    today had just left. It would take her a while toe back. “I‘ve got some in my room. I‘ll take it for


    you.”


    He put down his ss and walked to the stairs.


    JAnna, following him, was a bit nervous when she walked into the master bedroom and unconsciously


    clenched her hands. She looked at Wayne‘s back and shook her head to clear her mind from thoughts.


    What are you thinking?


    “Do you need bath towel or facecloth? Come and have a look.” Wayne stood at the bathroom door and


    called her.


    She quickly walked over, “Both.”


    There were neat stacks of towels in the cupboard near the washbasin. Anna first took two bath towels


    but didn‘t find the facecloths on theyer below. It seemed that they were on theyer above her. She


    tiptoed to reach the facecloths, but it was difficult for her since she wasn‘t tall enough.


    A hand was suddenly reached out over her head, and she heard a deep voice in the


    darkness, “Two?”


    She nodded in a daze, not knowing whether he saw her. She just felt that the shadow that covered her


    was darker.


    Wayne took the facecloths and when he lowered his head he met Anna‘s wandering eyes, which were


    sparkling in the darkness. His heart beat, but his hands stopped.


    In the dim light of the bathroom, Wayne‘s action of taking the towel was more like intimately holding her


    in his arms from behind. Anna felt that the temperature of the room had risen a little in this romantic


    atmosphere.


    She breathed heavily and caught a whiff of the cologne on his body. She couldn‘t resist taking a sniff of


    it. He smells good.


    “Mr. Wright…” A servant suddenly knocked at the door, breaking the romantic silence in the room.


    Anna suddenly came to her senses and lowered her head to avoid Wayne‘s straight gaze. She took a


    step back to keep a proper distance from him.


    Wayne also came back to himself. He shot a displeased nce at the door, “What‘s wrong?”


    He handed the facecloths to Anna.


    Anna contained her emotions and took them in embarrassment, her heart still beating fast as if they


    were going to pop out of her chest. This is weird.


    “I just went to the guest room. Ms. Gabriel‘s daughter was alone in the bathroom. She asked where her


    mommy went. I have looked around the house but didn‘t find her.”


    Anna quickly looked at Wayne. Before she stopped him, he had walked out of the bathroom calmly and


    answered, “She’s here with me.”


    There was a moment of silence outside the room.
