Chapter 156


    Anna’s heart skipped a beat when she heard Wayne say the word “insignificant passers–by“.


    She realized that she had been “a insignificant passer-by” to him just a few months before Also, six


    years earlier, Matthew had been “a insignificant passer-by” to him. So maybe for Wayne, it did not


    make a difference whether they were around him or not.


    Anna couldn’t help but feel a chill down her spine and an uncontroble shiver running down her spine


    at the thought.


    The following day, just as Anna arrived at the hotel door, the receptionist said to her, “Miss Gabriel, a


    gentleman came here to see you.”


    Anna then saw a familiar person in the public lounge area in the lobby. She nodded at the receptionist


    to thank her and then walked over to him.


    The man was Henry, the butler of the Wright family. Henry was dressed in a nice suit. Although he was


    in his sixties, he still looked energetic, just like Peter.


    “Henry, hello. What brings you here?” Seeing Anna, Henry smiled and said, “Hello, ma’am. I’ve brought


    the files you asked for.”


    Henry then gave Anna the paper bag in his hand and lowered his voice, “We dismissed quite a few


    babysitters that time. You may need some time to identify who she is.”


    Anna took it and said, “Thank you. It’s okay. I should be able to find her. Henry, why don’t you have a sit


    in my office?”


    “No, thanks. I’m leaving now. Peter just asked me to deliver something.” With those words, Henry


    patted his suit and left the hotel.


    Just as Anna was walking to the elevator, Wendy stood up from the front desk and asked curiously,


    “Miss Gabriel, that’s housekeeper of the Wrights, right? What did he say to you?”


    Anna raised the paper bag in her hand and said simply, “Oh, nothing, he’s just here to drop off a few


    things. Focus on your work, Wendy. Oh, and you might want to fix your cor.”


    Wendy immediately stood up straight, and then looked down to straighten her cor. When she looked


    up again, she noticed that Anna had already walked to the elevator on the far side.


    “Hey, you‘re so stupid! I just overheard that the Wrights’ housekeeper call Miss Gabriel ‘ma’am’! I think


    that Miss Gabriel must be engaged to Mr. Wright.” The receptionist sitting next to Wendy said


    “I think so, too! I think they’ll get married after a while!” After Anna went back into the office, she called


    Ryan over.


    “Hi, have a seat. This is the file Henry just gave me. I kept the original one, and here‘s a copy. Have a


    look, please. Do you need anything else?” She said.


    Ryan looked at it casually and said, “No, Anna. I’ll go to my room now and organize these files. I’ll see


    where they’re all living and check their bank ounts. If all goes well, I’ll find them in three days.”


    Anna still seemed a little worried about him and said, “Okay. Well, you can call me if you need


    anything.”


    “Don’t worry, it only takes time to find someone. Besides, I have all the time in the world.” Ryan said


    with a smile, his eyes innocent and clear.


    Anna smiled. Then, remembering the message Peace had sent her this morning, she said, “Thank you,


    Ryan. By the way, why don’t youe over to my ce for dinner tonight? I’m grateful to you for


    helping me film Allie’s video. So, I’d like to treat you to dinner.”


    Ryan hesitated and asked, “Okay. Will Wayne be there, too?” “Well, I’m not sure about that. I haven’t


    told him yet, so I’m not sure if he’s avable.”


    Ryan nodded cheerfully, raised the file in his hand, and said, “Yes, I’ll be there. I’ll start working. Bye,


    Anna.”


    “Okay, thank you.”


    Watching Ryan leave, Anna suddenly had a feeling of relief. She felt as if her child had grown up and


    could do things for her.


    “Mr. Xavier, please take a look at this. This is thetest ring in the store and is designed by a famous


    designer.”


    Karl and Wayne were in a jewelry store of a well-known brand. The store manager rmended it to


    Karl. She knew that these two people were big customers, so she was attentive and polite.


    Karl nced at the rows of diamond rings in front of him and felt that the sparkling diamonds made his


    eyes hurt. He turned his head and asked, “What do you think?”


    Wayne sat beside him, sipping his coffee. Without even looking up, he said, “Honestly, I think it’s pretty


    average.”


    Karl immediately frowned and said, “That’s for sure! I don’t think there’s any difference in these rings at


    all, except for the size. Although you keep talking about how well-designed these rings are, they’re all


    the same! Look at these two rings. Aren’t they exactly the same?”

    When the store manager saw their reaction like this, she immediately got a little nervous. She said, “If


    you can wait a few days, we can make a custom ring for you. But since you want the finished product,


    you can only pick from here. Most of them are ssic rings, and there won’t be any stunning designs


    except for the shape of the diamonds.”


    Karl waved his hand impatiently and, with a nce at Wayne, said, “Well, Wayne, why on earth did you


    bring me here? You just told me that you think all the rings in this store are average. You know, Peace


    is a picky person. If she was as easy-going as Anna, then things would be a lot easier! But if I pick a


    ring that she doesn’t like, then she’s definitely not going to marry me.”


    Wayne looked at him and said teasingly, “Actually, I don’t think she’ll marry you even if you buy the ring


    she likes. I’m telling you, you better reconsider whether you want to propose to her or not.”


    Maybe, Or Maybe Not in front of him and said, “That’s because this store doesn’t specialize in the


    finished jewelry. In fact, you’d better wait for a while before you propose to her. That way, you can calm


    down and think about whether you’re doing the right thing. Also, you can wait a little longer because


    they need time to make you the ring you want. How about you pick a diamond you like now?”


    When Wayne finished, he nced at the store manager. The manager immediately understood what


    he meant and then sent the employee to the warehouse to get the diamonds.


    “Is it toote?” Karl asked.


    Wayne put down the coffee in his hand and said thoughtfully, “Actually, this is not the problem you


    should worry about now. You should think about whether Peace has ever considered marrying you or


    not. Don’t you forget, you haven’t even gotten back together until now? You’ve brok


    Karl said thoughtfully, “She thinks I’m not serious, so she won’t take me seriously either. But if I buy her


    a ring this time, she should know how I feel about it. Oh,I do want to know how she’ll answer me.”


    When Wayne saw how determined Karl was, he couldn’t help but be worried. He had grown up with


    Karl, so he knew what kind of a yboy Karl used to be. Karl had been to all the nightclubs and bars in


    Birmingham when he was in high school. Not only did he date many girls, but he had many one-night


    stands.


    So, if a strange girl said she was pregnant with Karl’s child, Wayne wouldn’t even be surprised.


    If a yboy suddenly changed his old habits and got serious about a girl. Then, no one would probably


    believe his words.


    So, no girl who would like to live a quiet life would consider marrying him. Moreover, Peace was not an


    ordinary girl but a person with a unique personality. So, even if Karl bought her a diamond ring, she


    might not even marry him.


    I think Karl might fail this time, Wayne thought to himself.


    Just at that moment, the manager brought in a few diamonds. She put them on ck velvet and


    disyed them to Karl and Wayne. Those diamonds of various sizes were extremely dazzling,


    mapping the light of the light.
