“Hmm.” Wayne answered drily. But when he looked out of the window, a light of delight flashed in his eyes.

He felt that he had understood something at the night when he lost sleep. But he needed some time to confirm his thoughts. He figured it would be easy. But after Anna deliberately avoided him yesterday, he realized that he still needed a good reason to get close to her.

Matthew could be the good reason.

After that day, Wayne would always visit Anna with Matthew and invited Tammy and her to his house on weekends. Sometimes, they even went to a park to have a picnic or went to a playground together. They had a good time during this time.

Anna naturally felt that what attracted Wayne and Matthew was her cooking skills. And when they were together, Wayne could give her some advice about the anniversary plan, which saved her from the embarrassment in the meetings when her proposal was denied by her colleagues. Anna thought it was fair since they both took what they needed.

The man in front of Ada was in his early twenties. He had fair skin and a baby face. He couldn‘t be underage, but he must be less than 25. How could anyone believe that this young man was the most famous private detective in Birmingham?

Pearson sat on his seat calmly, without the slightest intention of getting up, and said drily, “I will delete all the things that I found after you leave. Don‘t worry. I won‘t leak the information to anyone. I have my work ethic.”
