Chapter 61


    It was almost dinner time.


    In the cafe on the first floor of the Carousel Hotel, Anna and Frank sat at a table in the corner.


    Anna spent most of her working hours in the hotel lobby so she was familiar with the staff in the stores


    on the first floor.


    When the waiter served the coffee, he nodded at Anna with a smile as a greeting.


    “Dad, what is it you want to see me about?” Anna asked as she stirred the coffee, feeling a little


    uneasy.


    Frank was about fifty years old. He was refined in manner, wearing a brown suit, and a watch worth


    more than a million dors. And the hair at his temples was a little gray.


    “Allie went to Jacob‘s engagement party on Saturday. She said that she saw you and told me that you


    worked here,” Frank said.


    Anna had guessed that Allie would tell Frank about what had happened at the party. Thinking that Allie


    might exaggerate the details, she said coldly, “What else did she say? She must have spoken ill of me.”


    Frank frowned and said, “She just told me that you worked here and didn‘t say anything else. Anna, is


    there any misunderstanding between you and Allie?”


    Anna clenched the spoon in her hand with an unhappy look and said, “There is no misunderstanding


    between us. It‘s just that we don‘t get along well.”


    Frank said, “Indeed, Allie has a bad temper. But she is concerned about you. After all, you are sisters.


    And she…”


    “Dad,” Anna interrupted him, “Did youe here just to mediate the rtionship between Allie and


    me?”


    Hearing that, Frank nced at her and said, “I heard that you are dating Mr. Wright. Is that true?”


    Anna was not surprised at his question.


    Since Allie told Dad that she met me at the party, she must have also told him about my rtionship


    with Wayne.


    Even if she hid it from Dad, Dad would hear of it from others and he might even learn what Allie has


    done to me at the party.


    Therefore, shrewd as Allie was, she knew that it was better to tell Dad about everything first


    “Does it matter if it is true or not?” Lowering her head, Anna didn‘t answer Frank‘s question directly.


    Then she said, “You have never shown concern for me these years. Since you don‘t care about me,


    then don‘t ask more about my life. I know what I‘m doing.”


    Frank was not angry with Anna‘s indifference instead, he said with a worried look, “I heard that he has


    a child. I‘m afraid you will have a lot of things to consider in your rtionship.“


    Anna raised her head slowly and asked, “What iso have a cho” Frank‘s face changed Anna looked at


    him and waited for him to lose his temper


    Since she grew up. she had hoped that Frank would get angry at her and lost his temper so that she


    could take advantage of it and express her dissatisfaction with him over the years


    However, Frank just sat there with a surprised look After a moment, he picked up the cup with his


    trembling hand and took a sip of the coffee to calm himself down


    After drinking up the coffee, he looked calm and gentle again. “When did you have a chilo?”


    “Five years ago. I didn‘t want to take her back home so I went abroad.” Anna answered perfunctorily.


    “Then… The child is five years old now,” Frank said with a frown, not calm as he looked


    To Anna‘s surprise, Frank still didn‘t get angry or lost his temper. Instead, he asked a lot about the child


    as if he had forgotten that he was here to ask Anna about her rtionship with Wayne.


    Later, the two of them ended the conversation.


    After paying the bill, Frank hesitated for a while before he left and said, You maye back home with


    the child at any time when you have free time. You two can live there if you want


    After saying that, he left, looking lonely


    Anna lost her mother when she was young and it was her grandfather who raised her. Later, her


    grandfather passed away and she was taken back home by Frank


    At that time, Frank had already remarried and he had a daughter, Allie, who was a few months older


    than Anna


    Anna did not know what the existence of Allie meant when she was a child. But as she grew up, she


    heard the gossip about her family and knew about the affair between Frank and Allie‘s mother.


    Frank had always felt that he owed Anna. Therefore, since he took Anna back home, he had always


    granted her whatever she asked to make up for her.


    Even when she suddenly brought back a homeless boy when she was fifteen years old and asked


    Frank to adopt him, Frank didn‘t refuse her.


    Frank almost did everything he could do for Anna. Even so, he still felt that he was not a responsible


    father.


    After the meeting with Frank, Anna was a little irritable. Fortunately, the work in the afternoon was


    about to be finished and she got off work soon


    When Anna walked out of the hotel with her handbag and looked at her watch, it suddenly urred to


    her that she was so busy this day that she forgot to pick up Tammy


    Then she took a taxi in a hurry.


    “Sir, please take me to Blue Castle Bilingual Kindergarten!”


    On her way to the kindergarten, she called Eleanor anxiously.

    “Tammy was picked up?” Anna eximed in the taxi. “Who picked her up?” On the other end of the


    line, Eleanor exined to her nervously, “Mr. Wright picked her up. Mr.


    Wright and you oftene to pick up each other‘s children and we think that you two are friends.


    So when he said that he came to pick Tammy up, we let Tammy leave with him. Is there any . problem,


    Miss Gabriel?”


    “No, there is no problem,” Anna said and breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you, Eleanor.” After hanging


    up the phone, she saw an unread message from Wayne. I‘ve picked Tammy up. She‘s at my home


    now.


    After reading the message, Anna immediately told the driver to take her to the Kingsford Neighborhood


    and then called Wayne.


    Soon, Wayne‘s voice came from the other end of the line. “Hello?” His low and maic voice made


    Anna think of his whisper when they had s*x. Anna suddenly felt a little suffocated, so she opened the


    window to breathe in some fresh


    air.


    “Thank you for picking up Tammy. I‘m so busy today that I forgot to pick her up.” “You‘re wee,”


    Wayne said calmly. “I was just doing what I have promised you.” “What?” Anna was stunned and


    asked, “What did you promise me before?”


    “Since you are busy with the centennial celebration these days, I‘ll send Tammy to school and pick her


    up from kindergarten every day. And you and Tammy will live at my house these days. Have you


    forgotten the request that you made?” Wayne said.


    “What?” Anna was surprised and asked anxiously, “When did I make such a request?”


    After a few seconds of silence, Wayne‘s serious voice came from the other end of the line. “The night


    before yesterday.”
