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 te and nodded politely toward


    Jennie.


    She had just walked upstairs and ced the te 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 toe back to her


    senses, and then she coughed awkwardly.


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


    As he sat down on the couch, Anna felt like a small puff of hot air wasing at her and enveloping


    her. It made her feel ufortable, 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 ttered 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 justin down on it, and


    it’s enough for me. It’s even morefortable 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 nned 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, andy 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 bedsidemp 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


    nced 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 aftering 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 stic 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 anyndslides, 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 popr.”


    “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 wellst 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 p herself after she said this.
