Chapter 123
“We‘ve arrived.”
Anna snapped back to her senses after hearing Wayne’s low voice. She turned her head to look out the
window and saw the apartment she was staying in. She was a little disoriented because she felt like
she was just having dinner at Wayne’s house.
After thanking him, she then turned her head and shook Tammy’s shoulder and said, “Tammy! Hey,
honey, wake up.”
Tammy grunted and was still asleep. “I’ve got this.” Wayne unbuckled his seat belt.
He then got out of the car before Anna could refuse his offer. Wayne pulled open the door on the other
side of the car and gently picked Tammy up.
“Come on, I’ll walk you upstairs.”
Anna froze. She nodded immediately aftering back to her senses and walked ahead to lead the
way for him.
Peace’s apartment was on the twentieth floor. As the elevator was rising slowly, the two seemed like
they could hear each other’s breathing clearly in the narrow space.
Tammy was lying quietly on Wayne’s shoulder, sleeping soundly. She seemed to trust Wayne
a lot.
Anna gave them both a look and thought that maybe Tammy was extra intimate with Wayne because
they were really family, and so was Matthew with her.
“I thought you said you got your house back, so why are you still living here?” Wayne asked, bringing
her back to her senses.
She looked to the ground and said, “That house is in Golden Ocean Community, where all the houses
are old vis. Tammy and I stayed there for one night and both found it a little too chilly and creepy. So,
we moved back.”
She wanted Ryan to live in the vi, too. After all, he hadn’t remembered who he was. That way, the
house could be a little more lively. She didn’t expect that Waer let Ryan stay at the hotel.
Moreover, she didn’t like having a babysitter at home, so she didn’t move in with Tammy either
“Are there still reportersing here?” Wayne thought of what happened earlier when Scott stayed
here and had attracted reporters
At the mention of this, Anna suddenlyughed and said, “A lot of reporters havee here betore
When Peace came back from a business trip the other day and saw them, she cursed the crap out of
thern After that, no reporters dared toe”
As they were talking, the elevator doors slowly opened it was prettyte, and there was no one in the
hallway
Anna took out the key and opened the door. After entering the house, the fust thing she did was look at
the main bedroom and then tiptoed
Wayne tiptoed as well, carrying Tammy gently to the bedroom.
After closing Tammy’s bedroom door, Anna said to him, “Thank you for bringing us home in thiste
hour and carrying her up here.”
“That’s the second time.” “Hmm?”
As usual, Wayne looked at her coldly and said, “This is the second time you’ve thanked me since you
got off my car this evening. Are you a big fan of thanking people?”
To avoid his gaze, Anna looked to the ground and replied, “I was just being polite. if I don’t say
anything, it makes me look like a rude person.”
“Are you being polite to me?” Anna looked stunned. She asked hesitantly, ”Shouldn’t I be polite to
you?”
Wayne’s gaze became deeply meaningful. He then asked, “And what do you think of what happened
between us this afternoon? Are you trying to justify yourself by saying ‘we’re all adults’?”
Anna’s heart beat faster. She avoided the matter all night, but he still brought it up. It made her feel
rmed. Even though she knew that he would not forget what happened in the afternoon so quickly
However, she could not exin herself this time. She couldn’t say precisely what kind of feelings she
had for Wayne, not knowing whether she did it because she couldn’t help it or because she liked him
very much.
She knew that she could not exin it clearly “L…” She said. Her voice suddenly became very hoarse,
as if she couldn’t speak.
Finally, she raised her head boldly, looked at him intently, and asked, “I want to know what you think
about this.”
She threw the question back at Wayne.
The light of the living room was not on. And the light from the foyer obscured everything around them
and made it difficult to see each other’s expressions.
After Wayne left, Anna sat on the sofa and stared nkly at the door. She nced at the clock on the
wall and thought that Wayne should have gotten off the elevator. Maybe he was walking out of the
building at this moment.
The room still smelled like him. The words he said and his pleasant voice still lingered in her
ears
“I know a lot of women, but you’re the only one I want to marry.” Wayne said to her before he left
And Anna didn’t say anything in response.
He finally said, “I like to be efficient in both rtionships and work. And I will give you some time to
think about it. But, Anna, don’t let me wait too long.”
As she was lost in thought, the door of her bedroom suddenly opened and a bright light beamed
through the cook
Anna looked up in surprise to see Peace in her striped pajamas, leaning against the door frame with
her arms wrapped around her. Her expression was yful, and she said yfully. “I

Anna’s face suddenly flushed. She avoided Peace’s gaze and replied, “What are you talkingC0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.
about?”
“And you don’t want to admit it?” Peace exaggeratedly pounced on Anna and pinned her down directly
on the couch
“Come on, tell me, what happened this afternoon? What does ‘we’re all adults’ mean? I’m an adult too,
let me know.”
Peace said as she tickled Anna Anna couldn’t stopughing and finally shrank back on the couch and
told her to stop
“I’ll tell you, I will let go of me”
Since Peace was her best friend, she told her everything They talked until midnight while eating ice
cream
Peace ate her ice cream and asked, “What? You’ve done it? So why you didn’t say yes to him? Now
that he’s already asked you to marry him, what are you waiting for?”
Anna frowned and said, “I know I shouldn’t be so hesitant, but I’m still worried.” What are you womed
about?” About Tammy and Matthew
“Why do you worry about them? Since they’re both your kids, you and Wayne will be a perfect watch
Tell me do you like Wayne?
“Well, it
“Do you like him or not? Antietiested to a long time and finally answered, “I like him
“Wow fially. So what were you worried about? I think Wayne treats your daughter very well. so you
shouldn’t worry at all about him taking her away from you after you tell him the truth If you get failed he
