Chapter 161


    After walking out of the bathroom, the first thing Wayne did was look for Anna. However, he didn‘t see


    her. He asked the receptionist where she went, but they had just changed shifts and didn’t know what


    had just happened.


    “She probably went back home. You know, it‘ste.” Charlotte said and took Wayne‘s hand.


    Then she leaned against Wayne, blinking her reddened eyes and saying in a muffled voice, “Wayne,


    I‘m a little tired. Would you take me home?”


    They stood at the front desk, making the receptionists look stunned.


    The receptionists stared dumbfounded at them and wondered what was going on. They all knew that


    Wayne was in a rtionship with Anna. So, they didn‘t know why Charlotte was so close to Wayne.


    Wayne absentmindedly nced at the hotel door and then had an ominous feeling.


    He knew that Anna wouldn‘t leave the banquet without telling him, even if she had something urgent to


    take care of. After all, Anna had never done such a thing before.


    Charlotte seemed so drunk that she closed her eyes and didn‘t move when she leaned on his shoulder.


    He frowned and told the driver to take her home first.


    They arrived at a three–story vi on the west side of town. In the living room on the first floor, Charlotte


    took one of Wayne‘s hands affectionately. She tilted her head, saying inartictely, “Wayne, you can


    think about what I said. Oh, you don‘t have to answer me in a hurry because I can wait for you.”


    Wayne was about to walk away. When he heard her words, he paused. He looked down at Charlotte,


    who was lying on the couch and then shook her hand away


    He said, “No, Charlotte. You‘re drunk.” “No! I‘m not drunk.”


    Charlotte still didn’t want to stop. She threw her arms around Wayne’s waist and seemed to be crying.


    She said, “Wayne, I‘m scared. Don‘t go. Stay with me, okay?”


    Wayne didn‘t shake her off again, but his gaze was indifferent. He said, “I called your brother, and he’ll


    come overter.”


    Charlotte froze, and then slowly withdrew her arms around his waist. She sat on the couch with her


    head hanging.


    Her curly bangs blocked her face. Even so, Wayne could tell she was very disappointed. Then, he


    frowned.


    After a long time, she suddenly raised her head andined, “Wayne, how could you do this to me!


    I was just joking with you. If you don‘t want to stay here, you can leave. Why did you tell my brother? Is


    it true that he willeter? If he knows that I’m drunk, he‘ll me me.”


    Hearing that, Wayne stopped frowning. He went back to Anna‘s apartment immediately after he left


    Charlotte‘s house. But he found

    that she wasn’t home and didn’t seem to havee back.


    He then called Anna, but she didn’t answer. He called Henry, and Henry said she hadn’t been


    there.


    “Mr. Wright, where are we going now?” Gabe asked. He had just pulled the car out of the block where


    Anna’s house was.


    “To Peace‘s,” Wayne said.


    Gabe looked up in the rear view mirror and noticed that Wayne frowning and looking upset


    Wayne hadn’t expected Charlotte to return to Ennd at all. This incident had disrupted his ns


    entirely.


    Half an hourter, he arrived at Peace‘s house.


    “You‘re looking for Anna the middle of the night? Are you kidding me?! You guys had a fight, didn‘t


    you?” Peace yawned and then sat down on the couch.


    “What? She‘s really not here?” Wayne stood in the living room and looked around Peace‘s messy


    apartment. Finally, he looked skeptically at the bedroom.


    “Of course she’s not here! It‘s early in the morning, Wayne. Will you let me have a good sleep? You


    don‘t need to work, but I do. I have to get up early in the morning. Oh, hey, what are you doing?” Peace


    immediately jumped up from the couch. She didn’t walk over to Wayne until she saw Wayne strutting


    over to the bedroom door.


    Wayne opened the door as he saw a dim light in the bedroom. Just as he walked into the bedroom, the


    man in the bed immediately jumped up in shock.


    That man pulled the covers up and wrapped them around his body. Then, he eximed, “Holy S**t!


    Wayne, why didn‘t you knock? You know this is a bedroom, right?”


    Wayne looked stunned at Karl‘s frightened look and said, “Oh, Karl, hi. Did Annae


    by?”


    Karl covered his chest and asked, dumbfounded, “Hey! What do you think? Of course not!” Wayne


    nodded, closed the door and left. Peace shouted “goodbye” to him, her voice echoing in the quiet night.


    Peace stared at Karl andmented, “You can go now.” “Hey! How can you kick me out like that? I


    just helped you out!” “Cut the crap. Can‘t you see I‘m busy?” Peace then called out towards the


    balcony, “Anna, he‘s gone,e on in.” Karl muttered as he lifted the covers, picked up his shirt from


    the floor, and put it on. Anna opened the balcony door and walked in with her head down. She said,


    “Thanks.”


    Originally, Anna nned to go straight home. But at the thought that Wayne had been staying at her


    house these days, she went to Peace‘s house instead.


    When she arrived at Peace‘s door, she surprisingly saw Karl sitting at the door. He told her that they


    hadn‘t made up yet and that Peace had shut him out.

    Peace frowned, and then asked Anna to sit on the bed. She said, “Hey, it‘s okay. What‘s going on? You


    seem scared, dear.”


    “She definitely had a fight with Wayne!” Karl said immediately.


    Peace rolled her eyes at him and said, “Will you ever shut up? If you say one more word, I‘ll kick you


    out of here.”


    Karl immediately stopped talking. Peace took Anna‘s hand and said, “Don‘t listen to his bulls**t. Anna,


    what‘s going on? Tell


    me.”


    Anna lowered her head and said in a low voice, “I saw Wayne hugging Charlotte.”


    Hearing that, Peace froze, and then immediately sprang up from the bed. She asked in surprise, “What


    the hell?! Is she the president of SG Ennd, the mean woman you mentioned before??”


    Anna nodded. In fact, her mind was in a mess that she didn‘t even know what she was talking about.


    All she could think of was the scene in which Wayne and Charlotte hugging each other.


    Peace clenched his fist and shouted, “Damn it! I knew that all men are good–for–nothing in this world!


    You just got rid of Ada. And herees another woman?! I think they‘re lying when they say that


    Wayne doesn‘t like having women around. There are so many women flirting with him! Don‘t these


    women know that he‘s got a girlfriend? They are too shameless.”


    “She‘s his ex–girlfriend, I suppose.” Anna interrupted Peace sorrowfully.


    Anna was confused when hearing the conversation between Charlotte and Wayne. She hadn‘t even


    thought that Wayne actually had a girlfriend that he was going to get married with before, which was


    why she was caught off guard and had to run away.


    She had always thought that Wayne was a decisive man and that he treated every woman the same


    way. Even when Ada was with him, pretending to be his fiancée, he hadn‘t treated her very well.


    Meanwhile, apparently, Wayne was being gentle and patient with Charlotte.


    Also, Anna realized that the ne she had taken off of Wayne was the token of love between him


    and Charlotte.


    Peace froze for a few seconds beforeing back to her senses. Feeling surprised, she asked, “He


    has an ex–girlfriend?”


    “Karl! I remember you telling me that Wayne doesn‘t have an ex!” Karl asked worriedly, “You guys said


    that I couldn‘t talk. So, can I keep quiet now?”


    Peace clenched her fists and threatened, “Are you saying you know what happened between Charlotte


    and Wayne?”


    “Of course! The three of us grew up together…“
