    Then Anna grabbed Wayne’s hand and said, “Stop right there. Everyone is waiting for us, and the party


    is about to begin. Let’s go.”


    While she gently pushed Wayne away, Wayne was still thinking about that perfect kiss. He ran his


    fingers over his lips and then red at the fireworks.


    Why do they have to set off fireworks now? He thought, Humph! I’m not moving an inch away from


    Anna tonight. What if someone tries to hit on her? No, | won’t let that happen.


    The party had already begun by the time Anna and Wayne arrived there. During the day, Only the


    couple’s friends attended the wedding ceremony so everyone was rxed. The kids were running wild


    on the beach, and the adults chased them down like they were in their backyards


    By night, however, everyone was dressed formally and walking around with cocktail sses in a


    dignified and elegant manner. People exchanged polite greetings and pleasantries, and even the few


    mischievous children became restrained.


    “Wee!” Jasper greeted Anna and Wayne as soon as they entered the venue.


    “Where’s Isabe?” Anna gripped Wayne’s hand tightly, asking.


    “She’s with Peace over there.” 520 What Do You Want?


    As she asked the two women in the distance, Anna frowned, “What’s the problem with Peace? She


    doesn’t look happy.”


    Jasper was about to exin what happened to her when a woman approached them.


    “Mr. Thomas, hello,” the woman said in a deep voice. Her features were not delicate, but she had


    stunning blue eyes. She was dressed elegantly in a shirt dress with a brown belt around her waist. Her

    him.


    “Do you know each other?” Anna asked.


    Wayne was surprised when he saw Beatrice just now but quickly regained hisposure. “Well, we

    are very good friends. | spent a summer at my grandfather’s house when | was a child, so I knew


    Wayne and Karl. And | haven’t seen them since | moved to the United States.”

    “I wasn’t expecting to see you at Mr. Thomas’ wedding. When | saw Karl just now, | was more than

    “Excuse me, | need to check on my children.” Anna made an excuse to. leave because she disliked this


    woman. Plus, she was worried about Peace. She then gave Wayne a sharp pinch on the back as a


    warning on her way out. Wayne frowned because it really hurt,

    feel ufortable?”


    Wayne took a step back to keep a safe distance between himself and her. He said, “Nothing. | must


    leave now, sorry. | have to find my daughter with Anna.”


    Beatrice immediately stopped smiling. She touched her hair as she said, “We haven’t seen one another


    in years. Wayne, you’re still as cold as ever.”


    Wayne’s brow furrowed slightly as if he was unhappy. He hated exchanging pleasantries with people


    he didn’t know. Even though he had known Beatrice since she was a child, to him, she was nothing


    more than the granddaughter of his grandfather’s friend. The two of them didn’t even talk much when


    they were kids.


    After both Anna and Jasper left, Beatrice said to Wayne, “The domestic market has been much better


    than | expected in recent years.


    “So | n to move back.” “Congrattions,” Wayne said perfunctorily, looking a little impatient. He kept

    And based on What I’ve heard from my assistant, she poses a huge threat to me.”


    “She’s yourpetitor?” Wayne asked.


    “The first thing | wanted to do in Ennd is put on a big show for my brand, Unfortunately, my show


    falls on the same day as Lemon’s. We’ve invited some of the industry’s biggest names, so I’m not sure


    which one they’ll attend.”


    Beatrice seemed confident as if she was certain everyone would attend her show. Wayne was well


    aware of it. He realized Beatrice was going to get Anna in big trouble.


    “What do you want?” Wayne asked tly.


    Beatrice nced at Wayne and said, “| just wanted to say hello. Doing business is like being at war, so


    everyone has enemies. We don’t want that to ruin our friendship because of that, do we?”

    and his ex girlfriend had broken up long 520 What Do You Want? ago and that he was sure | would


    never ever meet his ex! He lied to me!”
