Chapter 197
Wayne shook Anna’s hand off angrily.
“Hey! What are you doing? You scared the hell out of me!” Anna said as she nced at him with
dissatisfaction.
“You broke up with me. So, why did you touch me?” Wayne said indifferently.
Anna, on the other hand, didn’t appear to mind it. She said, “Well, how else am I supposed to unlock
your phone then? Will you
please stop being so fussy?”
“I thought maybe you could ask me what my password is. You know, there’s more than one way to
unlock my phone.”
Anna was dumbfounded for a moment. She locked his phone as if she was annoyed and then asked
him, “Okay, fine. So, tell me
your password.”
Wayne paused for a second, then replied briefly, “It’s your birthday.”
Anna was stunned.
She believed she and Wayne were both pretty sensible people, and neither of them was good at
rtionships. As a result, unlike
other women, she never examined her boyfriend’s phone or email. She did this out of respect for his
privacy and to avoid intruding into
his personal space.
Therefore, she had no idea that the password for Wayne’s phone was her birthday until now.
They both stopped talking. All they could hear was the waves crashing against the reef and the wind
howling through the mountains
out of the window.
Anna somewhat couldn’t believe his words. Still, she lowered her head and dialed her birthday into the
phone.
A few secondster, Wayne’s phone was unlocked.
Then it immediately urred to Anna that she had spent her birthday this year with Wayne. He went to
her mother’s tombstone
with her, and they walked out of the graveyard hand in hand. When Selina spoke to him, he was quite
sure and assured.
Anna had no idea what they were talking about in the car. Moreover, both Wayne and Selina were
reluctant to tell her.
“Where are we going?” Wayne asked as if he wasn’t angry anymore.
“Oh, to Sea Town,” Anna snapped back to reality and replied. As she looked at him, it hit her that she
had just been about to call
Peace and tell her that she was fine.
The engine screamed louder than the roaring wind. Anna rolled her eyes at him after staring at his
phone for a long time. She said,
“you don’t even have a signal on your phone! So, why did you give it to me in the first ce?”
Wayne frowned and asked, “Did I say a word about my phone having a signal?”
Oh! Since you’re rich, I assumed you had special phones with GPS tracking systems.” Anna said.
Wayre thought she was joking and asked, “So, Miss Gabriel, do you think we rich people need to drive
ourselves?”
Just as they were binng, the car suddenly bumped a few times and slowed down. Wayne then pulled it
over to the side of the
quad they had just wonten into the car a minute before. Anna could even see her smashed up car as
she turned around,

After hearing his snarl, Anna eventually calmed down. When she saw Wayne’s dissatisfied expression,
she felt a wave of regret
washing over her.
When she saw him in the midst of nowhere, she was so thrilled that there was no way to express her
happiness and disbelief. Anna
also couldn’t tell Wayne that she was being aloof in front of him since she didn’t want to lose her
dignity.
Anna realized that she couldn’t tell him that she had always thought of him was a dispensable scourge
to her. But since they had
broken up, she had often missed him in every lonely midnight.
After a long silence, Wayne appeared to have finally calmed down. He said, “Well, let’s stay here for
the night. There will be trucks
Wayne looked at Anna again after finishing and said, “You can rest in the back if you’re tired.”
Wayne had modified his car, so Anna could build a spacious makeshift bed by putting the chair in the
rear seat down.
“Oh,” Anna said awkwardly, and then stepped out of the car and got into the back.
When Wayne tossed her his suit jacket which was tainted with the fresh aroma of his perfume, Anna
had just finished putting the
seats down.

Anna froze. She clutched his jacket for a long time and said in a daze, “Oh, thanks.”
Wayne hummed softly and leaned back in the driver’s seat with his arms folded. Then, he closed his
eyes. And then, Annay back
in her seat.
The sunroof on the car was opened. Through ayer of ss, Anna could see the full moon in the sky.
The moon appeared to be a
hole in the sky being poked by someone, revealing the limitless secrets beyond the huge universe.
“How did Peace get in touch with you?” Anna suddenly asked. She did so, in fact, just to see if Wayne
was asleep.
She heard her own voice echoing in the car. Wayne leaned back in his seat with his back to her and
didn’t move. Just when she
thought Wayne was asleep, he said in a somewhat muffled voice, “Karl called me.”
Anna didn’t even anticipate that Peace would have the nerve to call Karl again.
What was going on between them seemed to irritate Wayne. He said bluntly,”I’ll let it slide because she
was in a rush to reach you right now. But, if Peace does decide to end her rtionship with Karl, she
should cut her ties with Karlpletely. You know, the fact that
she keeps contacting him isn’t good for him.”
Anna grimaced and leaned against the cushion with her elbows propped up. She sat up and turned to
Wayne, saying, “What exactly
do you mean? You’re totally wrong! Peace is not that kind of person. If she said she would break up
with him, she had already made up
her mind. I don’t like what you said about her.”
Wayne suddenly sneered and said, “Am I wrong? Anna, Karl didn’t fight or have an argument with her.
Besides, you know how much
he’s changed for her. If she didn’t do it to fool him around, then why didn’t she marry him? Isn’t it true
that she’s had enough of him? So,
she wants to break up with him. And both of you are experts of doing that.”
Despite the fact that he was talking about Peace, he sounded as if he was using Anna.
Anna became enraged when she discovered what he was talking about and eximed, “What do you
mean? You better exin it to
me! When we were at your house that day, you…”
Whenever she thought of that incident, she still felt sad and disappointed. That incident not only
physically harmed her, but it also
broke her heart. She hesitated for a moment but still failed to say that word aloud.
Anna gritted her teeth as her eyes turned red. She hesitated and finally threw Wayne’s jacket hard at
his head, shouting, “You know
what, I don’t even need your damn jacket!”
After that, she yanked the car door open and stepped straight into the wastnd.
Wayne sat in the driver’s seat and watched her in silence. He finally got out of the car and went to her
after realizing she had

“It’s too dangerous! It’s already the middle of the night!”
“So, what?!”
“Do you have to talk to me like that?” Wayne shouted indignantly, and his voice echoed in the empty
valley.
